I have bought the philips dry iron GC 83 before 1 year and in 6 months it started giving electric shocks . After 6 months its heating power is also reduced. It takes a lot of time to be heated . After being heated it does not iron the cloth so good . Itis made of hard plastic and quality of coil wire and plastic is also ver bad . Many members of my family has experienced electric shock while using the iron and also sometime it get heated so fast and sometime it get heated very slow. I will do not recommend anyone to buy this product . Itis waste of money . Full waste of money . Very bad product not to buy
