2600 W of ironing power: The 5000 Series heats quickly and holds its temperature while you work, so a full laundry basket does not turn into a long afternoon. It is sized for regular household loads rather than the occasional shirt.

45 g/min continuous steam: Steam is produced steadily rather than in bursts, which is what actually relaxes creases in cotton, linen and denim. You spend less time pressing the same spot twice.

200 g steam boost: A short trigger of concentrated steam handles the stubborn sections - collar folds, trouser hems and thick seams - without needing to raise the temperature dial.

SteamGlide Plus soleplate: The coated plate slides over fabric with very little resistance and resists scratching from zips and buttons, so the finish stays smooth over years of use.

320 ml water tank: A generous fill for a corded iron, meaning fewer trips to the tap in the middle of a session. Drip Stop keeps water from marking clothes when you iron at lower temperatures.

Built-in Calc Clean slider: Sliding the control flushes loosened scale out of the steam chamber. Running it regularly keeps steam output consistent, which matters in hard-water areas.
