Tried and Tested by Commercial Content Editor, Ellie Weaver:

"Firstly, there's no denying how cute this steamer looks, and the fact it folds up into a bag is super handy for both taking on the go (an easy addition to your carry-on) and storing in a drawer when not in use. This was my first time using a steamer and I was amazed at how easy this one was to use - simply top up with water, switch it on and you're good to go in a matter of seconds.

"It was effective at de-creasing dresses, shirts and skirts without having to faff with getting out
the iron and ironing board. The only thing worth flagging is that it does recommend using a mix of tap and distilled water (not something I had access to) and it takes a while to cool down - not ideal if you're using it on the go and were hoping to pack it up pretty swiftly.

"Though admittedly, I found it was quicker than the 60 minutes the instructions suggested."
