The Philips EasySpeed Steam Iron GC1742/46 shares the same non-stick soleplate and triple precision tip as its GC1740 sibling — genuinely useful for gliding smoothly across fabric while still reaching tight spots around buttons and pleats with the pointed nose design.
It delivers up to 25g/min continuous steam with a 90g boost for tougher creases, backed by 2000W of consistent power. The 220ml water tank reduces mid-session refills, the spray function helps release stubborn creases evenly, and the Calc Clean slider makes monthly descaling with tap water straightforward.
A reliable everyday iron for Nairobi households. Runs on Kenya's standard 220-240V mains supply. See also the GC1740/26. Available at Red Rhino.
