Philips GC363/30 Steam&Go -vaatehöyrystin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the Philips Steam&Go Handheld garment steamer for a couple of weeks now and it has become a permanent fixture in my bedroom.

Quite often I will have clothes hanging in the wardrobe or shoved in a drawer that have picked up a couple of creases since originally being ironed. Getting the iron and ironing board out seems like a chore so they go back in the wardrobe unused.

This is the perfect remedy. It warms up in seconds and the creases are gone with the minimum of fuss.

I've used in on everything from thick cotton shirts to delicate merino wool knitwear and it has done the job every time.

It took a couple of attempts for me to understand how to use it (should read the instructions properly!) and I now realise that the silver heat resistant mitt is essential.

It is not a replacement for an iron and ironing board, although I think it would do a half decent job, but it is great for getting rid of those annoying creases that accumulate when hanging in a wardrobe.

My friend who sells vintage clothing has already been impressed enough to buy one.

I've not taken it on holiday yet but I think it is probably small enough to put in your suitcase if you are stopping in a hotel without an iron in the room.

I initially thought the water reservoir wasn't adequate but now I've got used to it, it is easily enough for three to four garments.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was dubious prior to trying this product as I have tried one very similar to this and was disappointed. However I am very happy to have found this product, it’s so easy to use, effective at reducing creases quickly and is very handy to have on the go.

When traveling it fits in a case, it isn’t bulky and I love being able to get rid of creases in clothes without the need of an iron and ironing board.

My only criticism is I would like the lead to be longer.

Overall a fantastic product for those with a life on the go and has made travelling with office clothes a lot less stressful as I know I can rely on this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this steamer. It’s easy to use and saves so much time. My husband is usually away for business, packing his suits and shirts so for him he found it very useful to freshen up His clothes for those important meetings. He’s well impressed.

I have many traditional Asian suits and sarees that are a nightmare to iron but the hand held garment steamer saves me not only time but money on the dry cleaning bills.

I’ve used on my curtains and they have come up great, all the pain of taking them down, washing and getting the on the ironing board - not anymore, saved me loads of time and hassle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hand held steamer has really changed my whole rountine of crease free clothes. As a busy mum ironing was one of the chores i didnt enjoy. This product is easy to use. Has a great handle to grip. Warms up and ready in 45 seconds. The glove is also a brilliant additional to the steamer. Iron has already been put away as it is never needed again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This garment steamer is very useful for quickly removing creases from difficult to iron garments and refreshing already ironed items that have crumpled in the wardrobe.

I was quite surprised by its effectiveness. I tried it on a badly creased unironed pair of twill trousers to see just how effective it is at removing creases. The right trouser leg in the photo, which has been treated with the garment steamer, looks almost fully ironed compared to the untreated left trouser leg.

The steamer is easy to fill with water, doesn't take long to heat up and is comfortable to hold and operate. The water tank gets used up pretty quickly but is enough to fully treat one item of clothing. When I used it vertically, the steamer was quite prone to spitting and left wet marks on clothes but these dried quickly and left no stains.

I find it particularly useful for blazers and coats that are difficult or impossible to iron, as well as delicate silk tops that could easily get scorched by an iron. The steam also kills bacteria, so it's excellent for sanitising coats and work suits in between dry-cleans. I have also tried it on hanging curtains to great effect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The steamer has a really nice design and feels really well made, it's compact, so easy to take on a weekend away to touch up your clothes after those terrible hotel irons.

It take less than 30 seconds to heat up, so no long waiting times. The little bottle for water is easily detachable and easy to fill.

I used tried it on several items of clothing such as Jeans, T-shirts, Shirts and a set of curtains. The steamer really kicks out some heat so after ironing my jeans I used steamer with the brush attached to get those stubborn creases out. It worked wonders on the curtains, they look amazing now, the really long cable and heat glove really help make it much easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great product , lightweight so easy to use and to carry while travelling.heats up quickly , love the design and sleekness.

Good to use on delicate fabrics like silks. The brush part helps on thick fabrics like woollen or fleece.

although the water chamber could be a bit bigger as it can only be used on kids shirts and need refilling for long dresses but i think the bigger chamber would make it heavier and not that easy to use.

over all its a great product to use while travelling or at home even on curtains or upholstery to make them wrinkle free and give a fresh look.

Höyrystin ollut reilut 6kk käytössä:

Teho on juuri sitä tasoa, mitä teknisissä tiedoissakin kerrotaan ja ollut mukavan nopea ja helppo käyttää vaatteiden arkiseen suoristamiseen.

Lievästi ryppyinen puvun paitakin suoristui, mistä vähän yllätyin.

Höyrystin ei pysty taklaamaan todella ryppyistä, esim. muuttolaatikossa pitkään kurtistunutta vaatetta, joten tämmöisille tarvitsee näyttää perinteistä rautaa.

Miinuksena se, että vesi loppuu aika nopeasti, mutta tankki on helppo irroittaa ja täyttää.

Vesi riittää minulla 2-3 puseroon.

Silkkipuserot menevät vauhdilla, joten niitä saa varmasti neljäkin yhdelllä tankilla.

Aika isohko otettavaksi mukaan käsimatkatavaroihin, vie n. kenkäparin verran tilaa.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This handheld steamer really impressed me. My husband has a casual linen suit jacket that he has been unable to wear because I couldn't iron it until this handheld steamer came to the rescue. I must say it took quite a while to get all the creases out and I had to fill the quite tiny water tank 3 times but this was a very stubborn garment. The bristles that you can clip on speeds up the process a lot.

This is also brilliant on my silk tops that I don't want to iron just to make it look crisp and show you mean business!

This handheld steamer is not a replacement for your trusty Philips steam iron but should be used as well as to help with suits, delicate tops, curtains, pillow covers - brilliant, and will be great to pack in your suitcase when on business trips.

Well done Philips, another winner!
