Philips 2600W Azur Steam Iron 7000 Series

The Philips 2600W Azur Steam Iron is designed to make everyday ironing faster, smoother, and more effective with powerful steam performance and convenient features. The Philips DST7011 26 combines a powerful 2600W heating system, SteamGlide Plus soleplate, continuous steam output of up to 45g per minute, a powerful 220g steam boost, a generous 300ml water tank, vertical steaming, variable steam settings, and Quick Calc Release technology. Together, these features provide an efficient solution for removing everyday wrinkles and stubborn creases from a wide range of garments.

The Philips DST7011 26 Iron delivers 2600W of power for fast heating and strong overall ironing performance. The powerful heating system allows the iron to reach its operating temperature quickly, helping reduce preparation time and making it particularly convenient when you have a large amount of clothing to iron. The combination of high power and strong steam output helps make everyday ironing more efficient.

A major advantage of the Philips 2600W Steam Iron is its continuous steam output of up to 45g per minute. Continuous steam helps penetrate fabric more effectively, allowing wrinkles and creases to loosen as you move the iron across the garment. Philips states that the steam output can penetrate up to 50% further into fabric to help remove creases faster. This makes the iron suitable for everyday shirts, trousers, dresses, uniforms, and other garments.

For more difficult wrinkles, the iron provides a powerful steam boost of up to 220g. The concentrated burst of steam penetrates deeper into fabrics and is designed to tackle stubborn creases that may require additional steam. This feature is particularly useful when ironing thicker fabrics or areas where wrinkles are more difficult to remove using continuous steam alone.

The Philips SteamGlide Plus Iron features a SteamGlide Plus soleplate designed for smooth movement across different garments. The soleplate provides good gliding performance while offering enhanced resistance against scratches and wear. Its non-stick surface also helps make cleaning easier, making it suitable for regular household ironing.

The soleplate is designed to distribute heat and steam effectively across the garment, allowing you to work through different sections efficiently. Smooth movement is especially useful when ironing larger garments because it helps reduce the effort required to move the appliance across the fabric.

The Philips 7000 Series Iron features a 300ml water tank, providing useful capacity for everyday ironing. A larger water tank means fewer refills for the appliance, allowing you to iron more clothes in one session. The transparent tank design also makes it easier to monitor the remaining water level during use.

Variable steam settings give you greater control over the amount of steam used during ironing. You can adjust the steam according to the garment and the level of creasing, helping you use the appropriate steam output for different fabrics and ironing requirements. The temperature and steam controls are designed to provide straightforward and precise operation.

The Philips 2600W Azur Steam Iron also includes a spray function for additional moisture when required. Spraying a small amount of water onto fabric can help soften stubborn wrinkles before passing the heated soleplate over the garment. This provides another useful option when dealing with particularly difficult creases.

Vertical steaming provides additional versatility. Instead of laying every garment flat on an ironing board, you can use the steam function to refresh hanging clothes and remove creases while they are still on hangers. Philips also identifies vertical steaming as suitable for hanging fabrics such as curtains.

The Philips DST7011 26 Iron incorporates a drip-stop system designed to prevent water droplets from leaking through the soleplate and leaving unwanted stains on garments. This allows you to iron with greater confidence across different temperature settings while helping to keep clothing clean during troning 

Another important feature is Quick Calc Release. This system makes it easier to remove accumulated limescale from the iron, helping maintain steam performance over time. The appliance is also suitable for tap water, making everyday operation more convenient. Regular descaling using the appropriate cleaning procedure can help maintain the steam system and keep the iron performing effectively.

The Philips 2600W Steam Iron also includes a 2 metre power cord, providing useful freedom of movement while ironing. The longer cord makes it easier to position the appliance comfortably around an ironing board without being restricted by a short cable. The iron is designed for a 220–240V electrical supply and operates at 50–60Hz.

An energy-saving mode provides an additional practical feature for everyday use. This allows users to reduce energy consumption when appropriate while still benefiting from the iron’s steam and ironing functions.

The light blue and grey finish gives the Philips SteamGlide Plus Iron a modern appearance suitable for a contemporary home. Its combination of powerful performance, generous water capacity, smooth soleplate technology and convenient steam controls makes it suitable for both occasional ironing and larger regular ironing sessions.

Whether you are preparing work clothes, school uniforms, formal garments, everyday clothing, curtains, or other ironable fabrics, the Philips DST7011 26 provides multiple options for handling different types of creases. Continuous steam is useful for routine ironing, while the 220g steam boost provides additional power for stubborn wrinkles. Vertical steam adds flexibility when refreshing hanging garments.
