Amazon shoppers are rushing to take advantage of a limited-time 46% discount on the Tefal Pure Pop Slim Handheld Clothes Steamer, which they claim 'actually works' and makes ironing unnecessary. The gadget, originally priced at £49.99, is now available for £26.99 until Saturday, July 11.
Product Features and Performance
The steamer is lightweight and ultra-slim, making it ideal for travel and easy storage in a suitcase or bag. It can be used upright to freshen clothes on a hanger or laid flat for tough areas like collars and cuffs. According to the Amazon product description, the Tefal Pure Pop heats up in 15 seconds, produces 20g of steam per minute, and has a 70ml water tank, allowing quick wrinkle removal for one or two items. It also features a reversible pad with a velvet side for delicate fabrics and a lint removal side for pet hair.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
The steamer holds a 4.2-star rating on Amazon, with over 2,000 units purchased in the past month alone, as reported by Birmingham Live. One customer, Joe, said: 'Very good it deserves 5*.' Another reviewer noted: 'I got this because I just needed something to tidy up the odd piece of clothing and it's ideal for this... it heats up quickly and gets the creases out no problem.' A third buyer commented: 'So far, this is the best small steamer I've had... If you want a travel steamer, or an easy to use one for home in addition to an iron, you can't go wrong.'
Comparisons and Alternatives
For comparison, Argos offers the Philips Series 1000 Garment Steamer for £22.99, which claims to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria. Very has reduced the Russell Hobbs Easy Store Pro Steam and Fold from £32 to £28, heating up in 45 seconds and delivering 20g of steam. However, some users have noted drawbacks of the Tefal model, such as a small water tank and occasional water spitting. One purchaser wrote: 'Not sure why this keeps coming up as the best steamer... it spits water, it's far from powerful, and the tank is small.'
Overall Verdict
Despite mixed feedback, many users are impressed. One customer stated: 'Finally a steamer that doesn't spit water and actually gets rid of creases in quite a few fabrics... it worked better than both [a more expensive Tefal and a Philips].' The Tefal Pure Pop Slim Handheld Clothes Steamer remains a popular choice for those seeking a portable and effective wrinkle solution.
