The nifty little gadget makes light work of stubborn wrinkles and creases, while also banishing unpleasant odours and eliminating 99.99% of bacteria to leave clothes feeling fresher between washes. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable and easy to handle, while it heats up in just 35 seconds – ideal for giving an outfit a quick once-over before heading out the door.
It’s also a handy option for holidays, with its compact design making it easy to pop into a suitcase or travel bag. That means clothes can stay looking their best while away, without having to rely on hotel ironing facilities.
The 260ml water tank has enough capacity to steam several garments before needing a refill, while the generous 3m power cable gives plenty of room to manoeuvre when working around clothes, reports the Mirror.
Those who prefer a larger capacity tank might find the Philips Garment Steamer 1000 Series (£109) a more suitable choice. It boasts an impressive 1.8L water tank and comes fitted with three steam settings, delivering up to 36g/min of continuous steam.
For those in search of a professional-grade clothes steamer, the f1200 Clothes Steamer Pro (£159) from Fridja could be just the ticket. It features a powerful 2200W heater that produces steam in just 35 seconds, while its substantial 3-litre water tank enables lengthy steaming sessions.
The Express Steam Handheld Garment Steamer has already garnered some glowing reviews from customers. One shopper enthused: “A game changer that you need… I was so impressed with the device I will be using instead of ironing. The uniforms were crease-free so quickly! Highly recommend for all.”
A second reviewer added: “Good little item. Much easier than getting the iron and ironing board out. I keep it in my wardrobe, and it is great for getting rid of those wardrobe creases.”
Though they did point out: “It does get rid of heavy creases too but takes a little bit longer.”
On a positive note, one Morphy Richards customer commented: “Superb handheld steamer, exceeded expectations… Creases disappeared instantly on my trousers (put them on in the morning and noticed creases at the bottom and couldn’t be bothered to get the ironing board out.”
A further reviewer commented: “I have used it on silk, wool, polyester and cotton and it works really well… It is similar to ironing but with a more natural result.”
Separately, another customer noted: “Very good streamer. Easy to use and works well on curtains and bedding too.”
