Tefal Master Precision 360 IT6540G0 Upright Garment/Clothes Steamer, 1500 W, Black/Raspberry

I decided that for my birthday I wanted a garment steamer as I hate ironing with a passion but love natural fibres more! Since being given a laundry maid drying rack for Christmas means that along with free drying I often get crispy over dried clothing nowadays the need for ironing has increased in tandem with the decrease in the electricity bill & yet I still loathe ironing & this is not going to change at my age. Enter the idea of a garment steamer...This product is brilliant. I can stream all my wrinkles out in mere seconds (ok, a minute or two at most.) So far I've used it on woollen jumpers, trousers (yes the creasing head does work), coats & beret, denim shirts & jeans, brushed cotton shirts, cotton poplin shirts, crepe dresses, velvet skirts, viscose tops, ties, synthetics, you name it, I've done it. It raises the nap on velvet & corduroy without damaging its appearance like an iron would & totally avoids the issue of pocket imprints on trousers. Watching the creases fall out of silk & crepe is amazing.One thing that totally grabbed my attention was watching a badly creased transfer on a boys shirt straighten itself out without the risk of smearing it all over the shirt. It's a shame my boys have left home...!I've decimated my laundry pile & taken down bags of clothes from the attic which had been stored for years & were so badly creased that I was embarrasses to take them to the charity shop - now they're only lightly created of at all & the fusty smell has gone too!The foot switch is a useful feature as I can turn off the steam while hanging/removing garments over/from the built in hanger. I use this for special care items or heavily creased items which need a longer steaming.There's a 'hook' for you to hang your own hanger off which can be more convenient if you just need to lightly steam a shirt.Steaming for longer times mean that the items can get quite damp so I hang them for a short while over a radiator to dry out if necessary. Short steam garments can be worn straight away though.In short this is a great purchase & I'm delighted with it. Nothing beats a good old fashioned pressing with an iron for special occasions but this is a close second & has already had a lot more use than my iron & it's freed up time & space in my home providing me not only with un-creased clothing but also peace of mind...Cautionary note: this is a stream generator so don't be surprised if your windows steam up and you get a bit hot, it's to be expected! Wear a t-shirt & open your windows to compensate. Also occasionally it dribbles hot water into your hand & if you're pulling the cloth to stretch it as you steam (recommended which heavily creased/very dry items) be careful as steam is hot & the meal plate heats up. It's common sense!

Takes some getting used to, but works well with most fabrics. I didn’t think it would work on my cardigan, but it worked really well. Used on curtains too, pleased with the results.Doesn’t replace an iron (if you want crisp shirts) but will remove about 95% of creases from work shirt.Works very well with thin materials.Easy to use, but the head/handle/tube can get a little hot due to the steam passing through it, but it wouldn’t say it’s hot enough to burn someone.Comes with extra tools to attach to the head, but there’s nowhere on the machine itself to store/hold those pieces.

Simply does not do what it says. Weak and ineffective. Ironing board is so much easier.. which kind of defeats the object. Sorry - feeble and a complete waste of time and effort.

No way 80 minutes continued use. The product is just OK, comes in handy for quick freshen up or light materials.Already the tube/wire has come out of socket which hoping won't cause me any electrical issues. I will return asa, bought product late October and wiring detached in November/early December. No other iron I've had for YEARS has ever done this. Can EASILY do without the product.

I'm so glad I bought this. I did quite a bit of research first and I went for this slightly pricier option. The reviews online were excellent and they were not wrong. It's bigger than I thought it would be but it's extremely compact and easy to use. Very high quality material so it doesn't feel flimsy. It's extremely sturdy. The water tank is huge so you get such a long time out of it. The turn hanger is really necessary and makes it much easier to use. The wheels are great as you just roll it away when you're done. The best thing of all- no sore arm or back from ironing, I get my entire ironing basket done in half the time. I would never go back to a normal iron after this.My 3 issues with it are; 1. It doesn't work on Jeans or heavy materials even with the precision button. You'll need to iron them but I don't mind as everything else is done in seconds. You can also lower the hanger and sit down and do all your steaming. The creases just fall out of lighter materials. Even t shirts are done quickly. I've also used it on a delicate/ silky item that is difficult to iron and it was a breeze.2. Shirts seem to hold the steam in and can feel damp. However, leaving them to hang overnight in the hot press fixes that but you wouldn't be able to put them on straight away.3. There is nowhere to put the handheld steamer part while you're getting your next clothes item on the hanger. I have to try and put it on the bed as quite a bit of steam us coming out.Despite these issues, I'd still recommend it. It really has made light work of sorting and ironing clothes. Life is much easier with this product.

I love ironing but gave this a go. Great steamer ideal for freshening up clothes. Bit fiddley to position clothes to steam, scolded my hands several time but there is a knack to it getting better the more I use. Shame heat proof gloves not included. But overall a great product.

WARNING: this does not replace a traditional iron! For best result, obviously go for a good iron.With the above said, this works like a charm for quickly getting rid of wrinkles in clothes about 90% of the time for someone like me who dreads ironing clothes.Very easy to assemble, quite small and easy to store. It is a little bit unstable at times when you tuck the garment sideways during steaming though.

So, as long as you are careful with this as it is easy to burn yourself until you get the hang of it, this is a FANTASTIC product. I steam everything and have become quite obsessed. I am not sure how I ever lived without this before?! (Well, you know what I mean) :)
