I purchased this brand new from Amazon but it was faulty. There was an airlock in the system that, despite following all instructions, wouldn't pass and we couldn't get any steam. We sent it back and were sent a replacement - which had obviously been used/returned already as it had signs of wear/tear. I did consider whether my star rating was bias because of the fault of amazon of replacing a brand new full price but faulty item returned the day after it was delivered with something used - but there are the following points. I did try the working item out before returning because it was already clearly used and I wasn't sure whether to waste time trying for a third.1. There is only enough steam per canister to really drop out half the mild creases from a ladies shirt. You couldn't steam anything substantial with this.2. I've used professional steamers before and they replace irons, as I now struggle to get an ironing board up/down I was hoping to be able to use this in place of an iron for at least some things to reduce the frequency of wrestling with the ironing board - it's just not good enough. Baring in mind I hang dry clothing and most of the creases drop out that way, it's still just not up to the job.3. It's much too heavy, the heating unit and the water are all in the one device, one shirt (half done) was enough to make my shoulder and wrist really ache.So in a nutshell, it didn't work because it was air locked and needed specialist equipment to release the lock, the replacement (overlooking Amazon sent me a used one) wasn't up to the job I was hoping it would do and was heavy/cumbersome/limited in scope to use.

I bought this as *NEW on a discounted day - being gift to my husband, however when opening noticed , boxed extra taped , water droplets inside the container and fluff on the pads. All showing signs it had been used before.The "Tefal Store" should really be transparent with people when offering discounted prices on products that they could have been used or returned.Amazon did offer me a full refund but were unable to offer me a replacement so it effectively would mean me having the inconvenience to return the item then paying more to buy a replacement.The product itself is actually good, but Tefal Store not so.

This is well made and looks cool. Easy to use and produces a lot of steam. If you wanted to do a lot of clothes you would have to wait for it to cool before refilling the water tank which is on the small side. Still, I bought this for the odd thing which I don’t want to iron so about 4 shirts is ok. Also it doesn’t drip! Overall a good purchase.

The product looks like it was handheld and without a cable in the image, it does have a plug. It is ok. I think it will never replace the Iron, unless you are going to steam silk only as it is not super on cotton or other items. It is good for removing pet hairs from fabric furniture.
