Why I Ditched My Ironing Board for Good with My New Hand Steamer

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was skeptical about ditching my ironing board for a hand steamer, but this thing has genuinely changed the way I do laundry. It's so much faster and easier to use, and it's saved me so much space in my closet. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm hooked. The build quality is top-notch, and the battery life is impressive. I've steamed through (no pun intended) multiple loads of clothes without needing to recharge. It's also super lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it a breeze to get into tight spaces. I've even used it to remove wrinkles from my favorite dresses without scorching them. The value for money is unbeatable, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking to simplify their laundry routine.

I used to be a total ironing enthusiast. I loved setting up the ironing board, gathering a pile of clean laundry, and having a grand old ironing session while watching a movie. It was like a hobby, a way to unwind. But with a baby on board, things changed, and after four months, I had to put the iron away, as there was no time for ironing at all.

💨 Design and Accessories
The steamer's body is made of black plastic with silver inserts. I've got to say, it looks pretty sleek.
The base of the steamer is aluminum, with a ceramic coating. The manufacturer claims that this prevents condensation, and I can confirm that there's no water droplets left on the fabric during use.
The handle is quite ergonomic, and it feels comfortable in my hand.

💨 Turning it on and controlling modes
The plug is standard, and the cord has a clip for compact storage.
Tefal Access Steam Force DT8270E1The controls are mechanical – there are three buttons on the back of the device.
The steamer works in two modes: 'delicate' and 'turbo'. I use the 'turbo' mode for ironing curtains and thick fabrics.
Tefal Access Steam Force DT8270E1The steam button is conveniently located on the handle – my index finger fits perfectly.
You can adjust the steam output. You can either press and hold the button for continuous steam or just press it for a burst of steam.
Tefal Access Steam Force DT8270E1 Hand Steamer 💨 My ExperienceI have to say, I was looking for a hand steamer specifically to get my curtains back in shape after washing. But, thanks to this guy (and my trusty Haier dryer), I've been able to ditch my iron altogether.
Check out this photo of how well the steamer worked on these shorts I accidentally left in the dryer.
This thing steams clothes perfectly and quickly - it only takes a couple of minutes to get my curtains looking great.
With curtains, I didn't have any issues either. The only downside is that it can be a bit heavy to hold (1.4 kg + 200 ml of water).
✅ Pros
It's a beast of a steamer that gets any fabric looking greatIt's compactThe cord is a good length with a standard plugIt comes with all the necessary attachmentsThe steam button is super easy to use❗️Cons
Because of its high power, it goes through water quickly on the turbo settingAfter a while, your hand might get tired 🏁 Verdict
I'm really happy with my purchase - I got exactly what I was expecting. This steamer is impossible to mess up, even with delicate items, if you use it right. I've had Tefal products for years and they've never let me down, so when I was choosing a hand steamer, I knew I wanted this one.
I don't even consider the above-mentioned downsides as cons, since this device more than makes up for a bulky vertical steamer.
