FAQ
What makes the GC181/80 different from other Philips dry irons?
The GC181/80 has the highest wattage (1100 W) in the Philips dry iron range, a larger soleplate for faster coverage, and a longer 2.0 m cord. It's the premium dry iron option.
Can the higher wattage damage delicate fabrics?
No, the temperature is controlled by the dial, not the wattage. Higher wattage simply means the iron heats up faster and recovers heat more quickly between garments.
Is it heavy compared to other dry irons?
At approximately 1.0 kg, it is slightly heavier than the 700–850 g models, but the larger soleplate and better glide offset the weight. The extra mass also helps press out stubborn wrinkles.
