I have to be honest and say that before I received this Garment Steamer via the Vine Program, I had never used one before, and I have definitely been missing out! This is a great machine, even at 74.99 (price at time of review).
It is fairly simple to set up and begin using and despite others problems I didn’t have any start up issues personally. It’s not the same as ironing, but it’s great for freshening up clothing and straightening items in a hurry when taking them from the drawer or wardrobe.
I have also used it to give my curtains and bedding a tidy up as well as using it to freshen up my soft furnishings and the children’s and my teddy bear collections, it really is very versatile.
It isn’t very light and does feel heavy after using it for a while, but it isn’t designed to be used for hours in end so this is a minor problem. My only minor irritation is that the cord could be longer, but I just use an extension lead and this solves the problem.
I love the reversible micro fibre pad as it removes hair and lint and then you can flip it over to take care of all the tinier dust particles. Also the 3X power boost is great on heavier textiles or thicker items.
Overall this is a great product and a new love in my home as we have all had a go with it and equally love it. It is a 5 star item that I happily recommend to anyone looking for this type of product as it doesn’t disappoint.
I hope that this review has been helpful to you in deciding whether this is the right product for you.
Great Co product, light so easy to handle, it does a good job to be honest, maybe won’t do as great job as a iron but it handles for what it’s for pretty well, if you just want a quick getting rid of wrinkles on your gourmet it will do the job just fine.
I’m unsure whether to give this 3 or 4 stars, I’ve given it 4 out of benifit of doubt but there are issues and it’s just not as easy to use as it should be, I’m just as well getting the iron ou
Tefal Pure Tex DT9530 Handheld Garment Steamer, 1700 W, 200 milliliters, Blue & White
Arrived today. Thankfully I had read previous reviews and used the tip described to dislodge bubbles as it didn’t work immediately. It took about 5 minutes to start and then steamed very well. Loved the result with just a few swipes on the garment up and down. Will be excellent for those quick last minute ironing of creases needed just before rushing off to work. I won’t get rid of the iron and board just yet as I think some items will need it for small areas that are hard to just steam horizontally. But a great buy, glad I finally got around to getting one of these!
This steamer does exactly as described, it takes a while to heat up to get the steam but once heated it does the job perfectly. quick and easy for when you need to wear something and havent got time to get the iron out for just one item.
It has 3 steam settings mini for delicates and maxi for deeper creases, it also has a booster setting for even more steam. All these settings are activated using the switch on the rear of the unit.
The water tank is easily removable and is filled through a hole which is covered with a bung. The trigger can be set so that it steams only when pressed – or it can be double clicked to ensure a continuous steam.
I’ve used the Tefal Pure Tex DT 9539 Garment Steamer once, but I did do a few items both light and heavyweight materials and it performed very well on all. There is the option to have two levels of steam jet, strong or more gentle. I found it very easy to use and I was very pleased with the results.
I have enjoyed using this Tefal Pur Text handheld steamer. I assumed it would replace my usual iron but it really is a different product. This handheld steamer is great for quickly refreshing clothes that might have already been ironed before or that don’t need very precise ironing. For example it worked fine on a dress that had a lot of creases in it, the steam did a great job to get them out very quickly and to just freshen up the dress. The device is still quite chunky (probably similar in size to my iron!) and it needs plugging into mains power to run.
The steamer is 4-in-1. You can also use it to sanitise, a facemask for instance. As it kills 99.9% of bacteria.
You can use it to clean/de-lint to remove dust, lint and hair and lastly you can use it with your favourite fragrance to give your clothes a nice fresh smell.
Ideal to put in the suitcase when you go travelling very easy to use very lightweight makes easy work on creases in your shirts trousers and dresses. Ideal if you don’t like ironing
I can’t imagine my son ever ironing his shirts at uni with a traditional iron, so this is ideal for those looking for a quick iron and without an ironing board or the space for it at home.
It’s classic Tefal quality, good, reliable and user-friendly.
You would pay more than 100 for a steam generator, so this is good value in comparison.
As other reviewers pointed out, this handheld garment steamer is difficult to get going due to the issue with the air bubbles in the tubing. It would all be relatively OK if that was mentioned in the instruction manual, so you would be aware that it is part of the set-up procedure, and although it is not the most convenient thing to do, at least you wouldn’t think the device is broken.
If I hadn’t read the other reviews I would have written that I have received the broken device, since after following the instructions the device wouldn’t work no matter what I did, only after I turned the device upside down and smacked it for a few minutes did it start to work.
Once the device started working it worked amazingly well, it has powerful steam that can help you de-wrinkle and clean garment, sanitize and perfume household items so it is quite versatile. The device heats up extremely quickly (30 seconds) so if you are in a hurry you can quickly de-wrinkle your shirt. The steamer has two steam levels and a quick boost mode and I would say it has plenty of steam power for most use cases, but it is definitely not as strong as steam generator iron. The water tank is on a smaller side since otherwise, it would weigh too much, but it is extremely easy to take out and refill. The steamer is on a heavier side, I would say roughly similar to normal iron, so it is not the most comfortable if it has to be used for a prolonged period of time.
When it comes to the type of water to use with this steamer I would recommend the following order: distilled > demineralized > filtered > tap, i.e. the distilled water is always the best option as it will protect your device from limescale buildup, and I would avoid using tap water altogether. The device does have the self-cleaning mode where you need to add white vinegar to the tank, but that might not help to remove limescale buildup through the whole length of tubing.
Overall, both my partner and I like the device as we kind of stopped using the steam-generating iron since it takes so long to iron the garments, and in most cases, it is not necessary, so this steamer is a good alternative to the ironing, plus it is also sanitizing and perfuming device. As for the rating, we were torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars, but we were so happy with its performance once it started working that we went with 4 stars, we do feel however that they should resolve this issue as it is quite annoying and makes you wonder if that passed QC what else did and how long the device will last.
If we experience any further issues we will amend the rating.
This review concerns the Tefal Pure Tex DT9530 Handheld Garment Steamer, 1700 W, 200 milliliters, Blue & White, price at review 74.99.
As would be expected from any device bearing the TEFAL name, this steamer exudes their usual quality build. Arriving with two perfumed fragrance cartridges this is a very compact unit, easy to utilise, ideal for the traveler, particularly cruising its easy to operate, compact and does it exactly what is designed for – although the power lead could do with being about a half metre longer.
This steamer comes with various accessories which allow it to perform several different roles as well as removing creases such as cleaning off pet hairs and making things smell nice. The inclusion of a container for the heads when not in use is a real bonus in my book as I have a container under the kitchen sink already full of little plastic bits from appliances. Changing the heads is easy. There are three levels of steam available. Water is filled into a removable tank.
The unit heats up quickly and produces a decent amount of steam. I don’t really think my video does it justice. The trigger works well and it is comfortable to hold and balanced. It does a good job – so far I have removed creases and freshened up curtains and jackets, removed pet hairs from furniture and loosened up some stubborn dirt from my car seats. It is one of those things that once you start using it then you will find many many uses for it around the house.
It is a little bit pricey, but my experience with Tefal has been very positive over the years and I strongly believe that you do get what you pay for in terms of design quality and longevity. Recommended.
The steamer arrived safely, and the kit comes well packed inside a nicely illustrated retail box.
The overall quality of the unit is very good, its weighty, well made and uses good quality plastics. The water tank is easy to fill up and install as well as the various included accessories. Once turned on it takes no time at all to heat up and it gives you a little beep to let you know its ready.
The tigger can be double pressed which will keep the steam going for 1 minute. There are two modes; lower steam and higher steam, and you can also push the higher steam button for two seconds which will give you a 3 second boost of steam for the most creased of fabrics.
What I really like about this steamer is that you don’t need an ironing board and you can just hang your cloths on the back of door or similar to de-crease them. I’ve tried a good variety of different clothes and fabrics and I’m really happy with the results, it definitely does an excellent job of removing creases without needing much effort although the thicker the fabric the more time you need to spend on it.
The perfume attachment is another great idea and its perfect for adding a bit of fragrance to your cloths, toys, or anything else made of fabric. You just need to add a few drops of perfume/fragrance onto the perfume accessory and slide it into the pad.
Both the hair removal and cleaning attachments work well, we have two cats so struggle with hairs and the hair pad just pulls them right off your clothes. The cleaning pad is great for removing a small area of dirt from your clothes saving you from washing them. All of the pads can be hand washed in soap and water.
Overall, I think this is very good piece of kit and one that not only saves time on ironing but is easy to use and comes with a nice variety of attachments. Probably better suited to someone with a lot of dresses as it takes a little longer to remove creases from thicker materials compared to an iron but nonetheless it does a great job. I’m pleased with the quality of it and I feel it represents pretty good value for money. It’s a product I’m more than happy to recommend and I feel its worth the full five stars!
This is a great little gadget to have in the house. As I won’t be using it for travel at any point soon, I have just been enjoying not getting the ironing board out to be honest!
This does everything from sanitising to de-crinkling clothes whilst leaving a fresh scent if you wish.
The first time I used it I thought it was broken as I just couldn’t get the steam to come out. Turns out it just needed more time for the first use. Every time ever since I have had steam almost instantly.
They provide a handy little tub to keep your other attachments in and actually provide a scented refill for those times when you want to spruce up your sofa. I didn’t like the scent but that’s personal preference.
The cable is a decent length but could be much longer. The absolute ideal would be for this to be cordless as I personally couldn’t use this for my sofas unless I attached it to an extension lead.
As a steamer it’s a good product, but I feel it’s a little expensive.
I hope this helps with your purchase
So, I hadn’t used one of these before and was intrigued. Very easy to set and use, there are different heads which do different things, steam and release creases from clothes, a head to remove any lint on your clothes and then “clean” and remove bacteria. I will be honest, I did get a little mixed up with which one is for what however, they are magnetically attaching so they are not difficult to change around. I tried to remove creases and its fairly good, I am a big fan of ironing my clothes so this is always going to be a tricky one for me to accept as I still would prefer to use the iron, however, I used on my curtains which had a bit of creasing from tie backs and the creases were definately improved for using this, however, it did take a bit of time, effort and patience to get the results….but I wouldn’t iron the curtains if I had this, as its much less hassle to get to the results than taking curtains and down and then rehanging them. For lightweight fabrics like summer vest style tops it works quite well, but for thicker fabrics I wouldn’t use it. I am unsure if I would use to “santise” clothes, mostly I still would rather wash, however, I guess if you have items which you intend to wear again, works clothes then this will be a good idea right now with the whole Covid issue going on and you may feel more safe knowing this device has sanitised your garments (assuming it has …… I guess you have to trust it). Its got a lot of positive qualities, but on the other hand Im not sure there is a worthy cost outlay use for all of them.
This product makes the removal of creases from jackets easy – and it’s also great when used on all those other garments that are difficult to press on an ironing board.
Another great feature is using the steam generated to sanitise children’s soft toys, as well as clothes.
It’s so convenient when you don’t have to faff around unfolding an ironing board, and the results are great, too.
This is quick and easy to use, and it’s physically robust. Comes with manufacturer’s generous 2-Year Guarantee.
This Tefal Pure Tex DT9530 Handheld Garment Steamer is one power house with 1700W, it’s got more power than other ones I’ve used before usually averaging 1300W.
Unboxing you’ll find the steamer, all attachments and the water tank as well as a booklet, all packaged well and the steamer in a Blue & White colour.
One good thing is it comes with a case for all attachments, making it optimal for storage and keeping them all in the right place.
Each attachment itself is labelled, so even as you’re still learning the product, you can clearly identify what each head does.
The BEST feature is that each head magentically snaps on and saves so much time & hassle to use.
The steamer itself isn’t bulky or heavy so it’s very easy to operate. This makes it great for someone who may struggle when ironing.
One downside is that it can be a little difficult to open the water tank. For anyone who may have arthritis or dexterity issues, it’ll be a little harder.
It doesn’t include a mini spout jug, the type you get with irons and other steamers I’ve had. I had many lying around so this wasn’t an issue, but you may need to get one separately for easily refilling this.
Lastly, I noticed that bits of the velvet came off onto the garment whilst I used it. Not sure if this is because it was first use. It did come off easily though.
Overall I’m impressed with this product. The fact you have so many different heads as well as the option to apply scent to your clothes is great. It’s versatile, easy to carry and transport.
Much more easier to use than an iron and a lot more fun too.
The negative points are very minor in my opinion. I do think it’s a little higher on the price point at the 90.00 mark but a great product none-the-less from a good name brand.
I’ve attached some before & after pics which the results came with 3-4 uses of the steamer.
Quite a useful little gizmo.
It comes with three different steam heads which attach to the main unit magnetically which have their different uses, it also comes with 2 perfume “cartridges” that you can spray your favourite fragrance onto and use the diffuser for delicates head to freshen them up. The instructions are very basic – all you get is a quick starter guide and it wasn’t until I watched the video here at Amazon that I realised how to use the fragrance cartridges. It also took a couple of goes to figure out how the trigger worked. The unit doesn’t take very long to warm up – I would say between 30 to 45 seconds. It has 3 steam settings mini for delicates and maxi for deeper creases, it also has a booster setting for even more steam. All these settings are activated using the switch on the rear of the unit.
The water tank is easily removable and is filled through a hole which is covered with a bung. The trigger can be set so that it steams only when pressed – or it can be double clicked to ensure a continuous steam.
The lint remover works extremely well and the lint is easy to get off when cleaning it by rubbing it the opposite way. The main use I think would be for getting wrinkles out of clothes quickly without having to get the ironing board out. So I tried it on a cotton t-shirt out of the wash basket, I hung it over a door and went at it – even on the mini setting it cleared the creases really well, easily good enough to wear. That took probably a little over a minute for both sides including the arms. A pair of jeans was definitely a bit trickier, on the max setting I got them looking good along the legs and not bad on the bottom/pockets.
Thing is this isn’t meant to replace a regular iron and is just to make clothes presentable in a rush, I think it’s certainly useful when you have a kid who after ironing his stuff regularly insists on just stuffing it in his cupboard half the time so it’s wrinkled when he wants to wear it.
I wouldn’t call it lightweight when filled BUT it’s not overly heavy either, although after a while of doing this I could imagine my arm beginning to ache.
It’s also nice that you can use it around the home as a sanitiser.
Would I take it on holiday? Well the missus says I would (sigh!), She thinks it would be great to pack away, I’m less convinced but it might be an alternative to a travel iron (not that I would take one of those either).
This arrived in a branded box with glossy images, product details, uses and specifications on the outside. Opening it up the steamer is packed and protected in compressed cardboard inside a plastic sleeve for added protection. You also get a small container the additional heads and the perfume device plugs that go into the steam bonnet attachment.
I had a read through the quick start guide which goes through the basics and had a read through the main manual, the main manual is multilingual mixed languages on all pages, in my opinion this makes navigation of the functions and features less user friendly than separated languages and although it has all the information you need to go through multiple pages for each function.
The steamer looks and feels really nice quality and fits well in my hand with a good balance and easy to move around, I like that the different pads fit onto the main head with magnets so no messing about trying to release them when switching. The water tank slides off the bottom when holding the release button and has a small rubber stopper for filling, I live in a heavy water area so used distilled water but it does say tap water can be used.
After I had the tank filled I set one of my wife’s dresses on a coat hook against a door and tried it out, the dress is very fine and can’t be ironed or if I tried I would without doubt burn it or make the creases worse. I was quite impressed with the results and the creases dropped out as I went over it. I tried it on a cotton shirt and it did the job but took a lot longer than it would have with an iron, I tested it out on some other finer garments that are difficult to iron and again thought it did a great job.
I tried out the perfume device which goes into the steam bonnet attachment with some essential oil on one of my daughter’s teddy bears which is not washable, this has a musky aroma and it did a really good job of freshening it up. I tested out the microfiber pad using both sides on a long wool and cashmere winter coat I have and it did a great job on that, and it looked great after.
Overall I thought the steamer really good, I like the magnetic attachments making it easy to switch, I thought it did a really good job on very fine fabrics although on anything that could be ironed such as a cotton shirt I thought it less practical, the microfiber pad fitting did a great job on my coat and the perfume device I thought very useful for freshening up items. In my opinion the manual was usable but could do with reworking, but overall I think this is a good device that works well.
I use this steamer for getting creases out of drapes and curtains. Very easy to use, hardly any waiting time and strong enough steam for a crease free result. Really happy with this. This is a great item to have for everyday dressing and to pop in your suitcase when you travel.
For me, this doesn’t replace an iron, but I can definitely see me using it a lot. It’s perfect for when you have worn something once and want to freshen it up. Light creases drop out really easily as you pass the steamer over them. I like the different heads that come with it for cleaning and well as pressing. I can see myself using the clean heads for soft toys, cushions, and upholstery. For pressing you just run it over hanging garments and the creases disappear. I was surprised at how heavy it is. It’s probably similar weight to my iron, but you are waving it around in the air. This is why I have only given 1 star for travelling. It’s too big and heavy and realistically take on holiday. Also the steam is incredibly hot so you do need to be careful when using it. Otherwise, great quality product.
I’m not usually overly impressed with gadgets such as this. I saw these givem the thumbs up on Mumsnet and was quite intrigued. I jumped at the chance to try this one. But to be honest I didn’t hold out much hope and thought it would just be gimmicky.
HoweverThis has really blown me away. How is it taking me so long to find this? Honestly it is life-changing. I have steamed clothes that I haven’t been able to wear for years because they’re so creased and looked awful on (i’m a bad and lazy ironer!)
This just works. There are two settings and I’ve used both. I tend to use the lowest setting for synthetics on the highest setting for cottons. I’ve seemed a variety of items and it works best I find on this goes and jersey. The creases just drop out. One tank full of water lasts for about 5-10 items, depending on what they are. East to refill though.
It does struggle on some of my cotton shirts that have been washed and dried but not put away properly (do you know the ones. Those that you crumple in the washing basket and forget about for days!). It doesn’t completely get all creases out of dried crumpled cotton, is what I’m saying! That is a pretty tough challenge as even my iron doesn’t get those out!
It comes with different attachments and admittedly I only use the one that is designed to get wrinkles out. I’m not sure about the fragrance one but maybe for dry cleaning? Or smelly upholstery? The other one seems a bit pointless to me but even if this just had the one head this is worth it’s weight in gold. I’ve had to add some pictures because it’s just astounding. Takes a second to get ready and it’s so handy to have nearby. Small and lightweight as well as really easy to use. It’s just brilliant!
Pics are of a 100% cotton nightie one sleeve is done, the other one isn’t. That was a hard challenge as ot had been in the wash and just crumpled on my drawer for months. The other is a top. Same thing, chucked in a drawer. I did half and left half to compare. It’s a viscose elastane mix. I just did one pass – so about 1 min – on one side on the low setting.
Basically just buy one. They are so worth it! My clothes looks so much better. And I look so much better in them.
I was a little skeptical at first at how good this would be but boy did it do the job well. This is surprisingly efficient and outperforms my expectation.
Being a dog owner there are always random hairs on our clothes and using this worked well to remove them. In these times it is also reassuring that 99.9% of germs are killed.
This is definitely something I would travel with as it is a great handy size, works really quickly and with it’s multi use magnetic attachments provides a range of uses especially important after clothes have been packed and creased!
