One of the major point to choose Philips Dry Iron ( GC136) was its design. If you see the iron closely, it is indeed pointed in a much proper proportion if compared to other brands design, making it slide more easily on clothes or to reach some corners more easily while ironing, say area near collar in shirt or while ironing a pant. Also as per it’s dimensions ( 25.5 x 11.1 x 12.8 cm) , it covers more area in one go during ironing of clothes. And, in below given 3rd image, if you observe the button grooves closely, these grooves will help you iron easily on areas nearby or along buttons or seams.
