I don't enjoy ironing, and the hassle of dealing with the ironing board is just as bad. We don't have the space in our apartment for a cluttered ironing board, and let's be real, who does?
So, I thought I'd try a steamer to see if it could make my life easier. The idea is that you can just hang your clothes on a hanger and steam them. Sounds great, right? But, in reality, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
The Tefal DT7000E0 steamer has a decent water tank, but it's just too heavy to use for extended periods. With the water and the cord, it weighs in at 1.2 kg - that's just too much for my arm to handle, especially when I'm ironing a big sheet. It's a real workout, and the results aren't exactly what I was hoping for.
Ironing a big sheet is a real pain, and the results are just okayAnother thing that bugged me is that you can't iron most clothes from a distance - it just doesn't work. You have to hold the steamer right up against the fabric, which is hard to do when you're trying to hang it on a hanger. And let me tell you, ironing a big sheet for 20 minutes is a real challenge. The steam doesn't penetrate as well as I'd like, and the fabric ends up looking a bit wrinkled.
And if you use the steamer continuously, you'll start to notice that the steam starts to spit out water droplets - it's a real pain to clean up. You have to use distilled water and make sure it's not too hard, or you'll end up with water spots on your delicate fabrics. It's a hassle I'd rather avoid.
I was a bit hesitant to use the brush attachment, to be honest - the bristles are a bit too stiff for my liking. I don't want to risk damaging my clothes, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
The steamer does a decent job on thin fabrics, but it's just too hard to use and not very convenient. You have to figure out how to hang your clothes in a way that works, and the steam takes a while to come out. Filling the water tank is easy, though - no issues there.
But in the end, this steamer just didn't cut it for me. It's not a game-changer, and when I need to iron something properly, I still need to use my iron. It's just not compact enough, and the power is a bit lacking. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who needs a steamer - maybe look into the tabletop models instead. They might be a bit bulky, but at least they're not as clunky as this thing.
