Hi! I want to ask,have you guys used the Philips Handheld steamer?? I really hate ironing,my clothes are mainly those don't require ironing. But I still have formal clothes right,so I thought getting a steamer. I saw these handheld steamer of Philips at the deparmental stores such as Tesco or Jusco etc. They are definitely lighter (I live in hostel) and just a fraction of the usual steamer. But how good are they compared to the usual ones? I can understand if it is slightly not as good,but if it's unusable then no point getting it right? Here's the link to the website http://www.philips.com.my/c/irons/steam-go...h-gc310_05/prd/Review please!! This post has been edited by lynbabysusu: Jun 18 2013, 12:44 AM

Effective but don't expect to be as straight as the iron at the side and the end of the cloth.

Even ironing is not straight so don't expect much from steamer.
I bought a pro version years ago, same brand that boutiques uses. This was before steamers became popular in stores like now. In the end I returned it cause it wasn't working out for me. Too much trouble.
Better and much faster to use a steam iron. Good ironing board is also important

Had it for over 2 years now and it still works wonderfully. Plenty of steam to take out those stubborn wrinkles. Minimal leaks or if any. Only thing is I have to keep refilling when going through a pile of shirts.

QUOTE(hivemy @ Sep 11 2011, 02:27 PM) Hi Guys, I wanted to shop for a new iron , but I found that new technology has a thing called steamer, which I know nothing & have never used it So what's Iron vs Steamer like? Anyway, I'm on a budget I usually iron my ties, suit & trouses for dinner. Can u guys here recommend something good? Steamer good. Very good. Cost more to buy and more to run. But its good.
