Clothes streamer

Anyone have one? Do you recommend one? Are they easy to use? Easy to store? Re immense be a good one!

Dunno what happened there should read "Recommend me a good one!"

Clothes 'streamer'? or clothes 'steamer'

Oh lol steamer! I'm not doing very well today!

I have one ( recent purchase) as I never ever ever iron.
I didn’t want to go all in on an expensive Philips one without any experience of what they actually do. Mine is Swan (£25 from amazon) and is one of those hand helds so storage is easy.
Observations:
Does take the worse of the creases out but not as good as ironing. It’ll make a (lovely) chambray dress (that never got worn because I never iron) look more than wearable but I’m not sure about a formal shirt (which I never wear).
I use it as and when I pull something creased out to wear and it takes 2 minutes to heat and maybe 3 to steam out the major creases.
It freshens clothes! Do you ever get that nasty thing on close fitting Ts where washing at 40 doesn’t kill the bacteria in the arm pits and certain clothes begin to wiff by the end of the day despite washing and good hygiene? It kills that and has brought a few things back to life.
In all these respects it pays for itself as it brings clothes into play more often and revives older stuff.
Mine does spit water a bit but it dries quickly. I use ironing water as we live in a hard water area and I want it to stay clear and clean. It’s not a massive ongoing cost as a bottle will do quite a few outfits.
Overall thumbs up from me 😀

I'd recommend buying a full size steamer rather than anything handheld, but that might just be personal preference.

I bought this in 2016 and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. I don't own an iron and just use this. It folds down easily although as it's quite streamline, I just leave it in the cupboard with the hoover.

When I'm in a position to upgrade, I'm buying one of these steamers which are brilliant.

Needed to steam something so before and after...

I just bought one the other day funnily enough. It’s great on getting creases out of dresses, tops etc but wouldn’t be any good for sheets or shirts. However as someone who hates ironing it’s fab!

I have a steam generator iron and put it on full blast and steam delicates on a hanger.

I have a full size SteamOne upright one, which I love. True, not really suitable for sheets, but shirts work just fine. Great for fabrics and cuts you can't really iron with a normal iron, all kinds of lacy dresses or cashmere sweaters.

I bought the Russell Hobbs one from Argos. It works well. Much less of a faff than getting the iron out and I like the freshening aspect too.
