Tefal Access Steam Force DT8250E1 Handheld Steamer
My Handheld Steamer's Lost Its Steam
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've had this handheld steamer for about five years now, and while it still works, I'm thinking it's time to upgrade. The original price was around $2500, but nowadays you can find it online for about $3000. It's not a bad steamer, but it's got some quirks that make me want to look elsewhere. For example, the water reservoir is tiny, and the cord can get in the way. Still, it's been a lifesaver for those occasional cotton shirts and dresses that just won't look right unless I iron them. It's a decent value for money, but I'm not sure it's worth the price for me.
