There are many household chores that I dislike and ironing is certainly the top of my ‘loathe list’. I know a few people who say they don’t mind ironing, but I cannot understand them saying that. However I have no idea why I’d never thought of using a clothes steamer, now I’ve got one to try I now understand what I’ve been missing. But in fairness, I had no idea that you can get iron-like results from any hand held steamer, let alone the new generation of clothes steamer, which is the AeroSteam handheld clothes steamer. I was astounded that in just one stroke with this vertical steamer, it works and the steamer features a monotemp soleplate 140°C that is safe for all ironable fabrics from delicates to your denim jeans. The steamer has a slider button offering you a choice of three modes giving you customised care, one for steaming, a second with steam and soft suction and thirdly steam and turbo suction. There’s also a 100ml tank which gives you 6 minutes’ use. I was amazed and delighted that I achieved iron-like results without any hassle and all without having to use an ironing board!
The AeroSteam vertical steamer uses Tefal’s patented Optiflow technology, which combines steam power with suction, to hold the fabric taut as the steam removes creases, so all you need to use is just one hand and a single-stroke. This steamer smoothed out creases efficiently and effectively, which was all I needed to do. In fact I actually achieved better results than when I ironed, so steaming saved me so much time and effort – and I didn’t lose my temper either.
This is a new innovation in clothes steaming and is Tefal’s easiest handheld steamer and so clever that it uses suction to hold the fabric taut and steam to remove creases for effortless, one-handed steaming. It also gives you 50% faster steaming than traditional handheld models. There’s a 2.6m cord which made it handy to plug in anywhere. Plus this machine is steam ready in 30 seconds and it turns itself off automatically if you leave it unattended, so no need to worry when you have left your house – did I switch off the iron. I also found this perfect on work mornings and my jacket needed de-creasing, it really did take next to no time to give my jacket a quick spruce up.
Tefal offer fast, free delivery, plus it is repairable by Tefal for 15 years, along with UK customer support. Purchasing from a company with such high levels of customer support is yet another reason I rate Tefal so highly.
