The Philips PerfectCare Compact GC7842/40 is a high-pressure steam generator iron station designed for garment care. It operates with a 2400 W power output and generates a maximum steam pressure of 6.5 bar to penetrate fabric layers. This model utilizes OptimalTEMP technology, which maintains a consistent temperature safe for all ironable materials, eliminating the need for manual thermostat adjustments. A 1.5-liter integrated water tank allows for extended use and can be refilled at any time during operation.

The iron delivers a continuous steam output of 120 g/min and a 400 g steam boost to address persistent wrinkles. It features a SteamGlide Plus soleplate, which is designed for scratch resistance and gliding across different textile types. The system is ready for use within two minutes and includes an energy-saving Eco mode that reduces power consumption by up to 30 percent. For maintenance, a built-in Calc Clean function provides light and sound alerts to signal when descaling is required to preserve steam performance.
