Not a ripper deal but if you are in the market for a new iron, I found this one to be a good value for Philips Azure iron.
Standard price is $229 at Bing Lee, TGG and Hardly Normal.
But it is discounted to $199 at Peter of Kensington eBay, then take a further $10 off using SNSDEC and $50 cashback from Philips.
I received mine within 2 days using eBay Plus.
available again, keep an eye - PoK has a habit of adding additional stock

Waiting for a deal on azur Elite for some time
I compared this model and the Elote, and they look mostly the same. Same wattage, steam output, water capacity, etc.
The Elite has “IntelligentIQ” though for automatic steal release… sometimes I wonder if it’s just worth paying the extra, getting the newer model, and being done with it. And then grabbing bargains whenever else I can.
Series 8000 also releases steam automatically, the only difference that I can see that 8000 series claim to be better for vertical steaminig which will keep my wife happy :)
The Elite is also advertised to have vertical steaming!
I think the 8000 model is a clearance model… it’s no longer on the Philips website.
@wormarts: Its on their website https://www.philips.com.au/c-p/DST8050_21/azur-8000-series-s…
I thought 8000 is a newer model but never mind, wifey loves it. Happy wife happy wife :)
@IMadeYouReadThis: Sorry, I meant it doesn’t seem to be part of the current product line-up (if you navigate to irons via the menu).
Seems to be superseded. Page prob only up for historical/support reasons.
Anyway, great iron. I hope you and the wife enjoy it!
I've got the azure elite and I regret the purchase. It's perfect for delicates but for everyday items, the plate doesn't get hot enough.
I always use it on max steam and it still fails to iron out the creases on my cotton business shirts.
After having to go through a youtube video on how to iron a shirt, an iron like Panasonic Ergonomic 360° Quick Steam Iron is preferable.
I bought a $49 Philips 3000 last week, irons fine.
A $20 iron does just as good a job. Lol!
Right? I came here to see what the fuss was about. It can't be worth that much…
$178.00 TGG Commercial
Back in stock and $139 now on eBay with code JANHNG (so no need to deal with Philips cashback)
Do you ever wonder when OzB posts sell out in minutes whether what you're seeing is actually
classic retail 'bait and switch'??
