Review on Portable Handheld Garment Steamer: 360Ml High Capacity, Fast Heat-Up & Travel Pouch Included! by Chris Meers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Heavy, awkward and exhausting to hold, poor design

I got this to replace my E-Steam by Jiffy which I had for 5 years and loved; never had any problems with it. I thought I'd try a different steamer considering there are new features available. The Housmile steamer is really heavy and bulky. Travelling with this would be a pain. What is more painful is that I almost dropped it because the weight and proportioning of this steamer's design makes it awkward to hold in your hand while maneuvering your clothing piece. I burned my leg when I caught it in mid-air which caused the boiling water to spouted out and run down my leg.The material of the device feels cheap and would likely break soon. Cap isn't easy to put on. Steam was hardly effective on a cotton t-shirt and the lint removing brush is a joke. It only made it harder to steam.I will be returning this steamer as it is a huge disappointment. The reason I gave it 2 stars is the retractable cord feature is really handy and space saving. Not sure why more brands don't integrate this into their design as it seems like a no-brainier.

Pros
  • Works well
Cons
  • Can cause discoloration on some fabrics
