We're looking for 20 Mumsnetters to try Philips PerfectCare Xpress the World's first pressurised steam iron, with "revolutionary OptimalTEMP technology and compact steam generator, it's built for powerful crease removal and is faster than any other steam iron, as tested by independent institute, DWI, June 2011".

Here's what Philips say about the product: "PerfectCare Xpress has no settings, just one perfect temperature that's safe on all ironable fabrics, even delicates. Iron from jeans to silk, to linen, to cotton, to cashmere...in any order, without having to adjust the temperature, it's 100% scorch proof! Plus with an automatic motion steam sensor inside ironing has never been easier. Compact and convenient for storage it's perfect for ironing small loads, every day"

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters. Testers will be required to try the iron out over the course of a week and add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. We'd also like you to add a review to MN reviews to let us know how you get on.

To sign up click here.

All those who are selected to take part and leave the required feedback on Mumsnet will receive the PerfectCare Xpress to keep (RRP £120).

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

Hi AnnMumsnet. I just signed up (or thought I did) - does my entry count as the survey still let me complete? Also, does it make any difference if, when you sign up, you also leave a message on the thread saying something like"I'd love to test this!". Just wondered! Thanks

AnnMumsnet · 06/11/2012 11:52

Hi Suzys - yes and no! (in 2 words...) - yes your form is in the 'pile' and no it doesn't make a difference

ooh, when do we find out if we've been picked?

Rattitude · 09/11/2012 13:53

ooooh... I have been selected!

AnnMumsnet, do you know roughly when we might expect to receive the iron to test? I have a massive pile to iron and if it coming soon-ish, I will delay my ironing so that I test the Philips iron on it.

If it is going to take a couple of weeks, I'd better get going on my current pile though! Grin

Thanks

AnnMumsnet · 09/11/2012 14:23

Next week sometime I hope!

Did i get selected?

RudolphUcker · 09/11/2012 14:39

I've always wondered that about the comments on the thread - or else why does everyone just post 'done'? Never got it.

Ah well. I shall delay my two baskets of ironing in the hope I am picked any excuse.
