So easy to use and very practical I just love it. The only thing that mine has a bit sharp edges on one side which make it not good to use for silk & chiffon fabric .
This is a great little steamer for travel and comes in a nice bag with a hanger and hook. Also ideal for home use if not wanting to get ironing board out for quickness. Works really well and gets creases out .
Wasn’t expecting much but bought this for a mini break and it worked really well. It’s never going to fully remove all creases but it did a really good job
I bought it for travelling and I was pleasantly surprised, great for summer dresses, denim and even knitwear! I loved using it so much I now use it also at home 🙂
This is a really effective little steamer. Lightweight and easy to use. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the lead could do with being a fair bit longer. If the outlet is at skirting board level, the garment needs to be hung more or less above it. Most hotels are short on sockets and they are often in awkward places. A longer lead and this would be a perfect travel companion.
I bought this for my shirt that needs steaming every weekend and I must say that I’m very impressed with this product plus the door hook and fold up hanger attachments. I’ve not steamed anything else yet apart from this but I would say that the only downside is the short lead and small water compartment hence the 4 stars but overall it does what I need it to do it’s a pretty good steamer.
It’s very quick to just lay a creased top on the bed, top up the steamer tank, plug in and start steaming straight in the bedroom. The alternative – go downstairs, get out the ironing board and iron, plug in, iron the top then put everything away – takes so much longer. As we know, if something is easy to do, it’s much more likely to be done…
This steamer comes with a travel pouch and easily fitted in my bag for a UK week’s holiday to refresh / remove creases from my family’s outfits. Helpfully it also comes with a clip on brush (which I haven’t tried yet), an over-door hanger hook and a mini folding clothes hanger – although I found the clothes hanger was a little small for some of my tops, depending on the necklines, and they’d slip off. Better for t-shirts, but I thought it was a thoughtful touch if I was somewhere without a hanger at all.
The key feature that meant I chose this item instead of alternatives was the fact it can be used either vertically (curtains / clothes on hangers) or horizontally (laying fabrics out on the bed) – I saw so many clothes steamers that can only be used vertically. I find some items are easier to do when laid flat on the bed, you can keep tweaking the hems straight etc whilst steaming. This is also a better option if your door / hanging area is some distance from your plug socket – the cable is just under 2m long.
I should say that I had absolutely no problems with this until I came to de-scale it. The vinegar mixture dissolved the limscale as expected, there was some mild cosmetic staining left on the steamer plate but this didn’t transfer to any fabrics (I tested this thoroughly on an old white towel) and the unit was steaming as new. However I found the steam then smelled of vinegar. I contacted the seller and they responded very quickly with advice and suggestions. It’s so nice to deal with a seller who doesn’t ignore you as soon as they have your money. They were very keen to ensure I was fully satisfied with their product, and I’m now happily steaming again without any issues.
(Please note the manual specifies that to remove limescale, fill the water tank with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 distilled water. Do not use a stronger solution!)
I originally bought this on a lightning deal, but have since bought my mum one of these at the normal price, and would have no hesitation in recommending this clothes steamer or this seller to anyone 🙂
I can however comment on the positive things I noticed and also say why I returned this particular steamer and chose a different model.
Positive – 1) it’s well made and lightweight, under 600g. 2) It comes with a hook to go over a door as well as the brush attachment and a folding coat hanger.
Why I returned it – 1) the flex is too short.
I purchased this steamer to take abroad on holiday with me and because a lot of plug sockets in hotel rooms are in inconvenient places and can even be very really low down I needed a longer flex. 2) the steamer was hard for me to grip. I have average sized hands for a woman but I didn’t feel like I could get a secure grip with this steamer and that’s important when you’re using a device that’s giving out red hot steam.
– Great purchase, useful for travel and good quality
– Very lightweight and compact, easy to hold so no aching hands or arms.
– Heats up quickly, no drips while using.
– Water tank is easy to remove using the release button, softly clicks back into place and is easy to refill from a tap. Each tank only lasts for c.10mins, but this is compact for travel, so no issue.
– You can steam vertically or flat, unlike a travel iron which requires a flat surface.
– The knack to using a steamer of this size, is ensure the head is flat onto the fabric. I had previously used industrial steamers and held them at a slight angle.
– It is quicker to iron some clothing, but effective travel irons are heavy and you need a flat surface.
***NEGATIVE….but would not prevent me recommending***
– Cord ideally needs to be longer. It measures 2m (if you can get the kinks out of it), so you need to be right next to a plug point to use it.
***First Use***
– I used it on a linen shirt and an evening dress with a chiffon overskirt, both had been stored rolled up.
– I would not expect the linen shirt to look completely flat, as the fabric is garment washed linen and is expected to be a soft, casual finish not formal and pristine.
– It performed well on both garments (see pics)
