Tefal Access Steam Force Handheld Clothes Steamer, Black and Silver

Works as expected

amazing product, very handy for a home, for a quick run, not ironing everything perfect but I highly recommend for all household to have one.

Shorter Version: It does what it is designed for very well; that is to steam garments. The microfiber attachment is very good at removing dust, lint and even hair whilst protecting the delicate fabrics. I use this steamer daily for my work suits and even after several years of wear, my suits are in excellent condition. This is not going to replace your iron, but after a bit of experience, you might find yourselves reaching for this instead of your iron. Long Version: It took me a few seconds to decide on this purchase; having previously owned the Tefal Steam+ for over 8 years. The Steam+ was not flawless but worked well until it's accidental death did us part. This new and supposedly improved model has little to tell apart from his predecessor, if not for the evenly spaced holes on its face as opposed to the vacant impression like slot on the Steam+ and its name stamped on the forehead. But I digress; this is meant to be a review of Tefal Access Steam Force and not a comparison. I have used this steamer to iron my non-iron cotton shirts, on an ironing board, and whilst the results were comparable to the steam generator iron that I normally use, it took about twice as long. Though, not due to the lack of power, but because of the small size of the heated soleplate. Well, size does matter after all. But when it comes steaming vertically, this handheld steamer literally steamroller the wrinkles on most clothes like t-shirts, chinos, jeans, suits, blazers, wool coats etc. and does it so much better than a traditional or even a steam generator iron. The microfiber head protect the delicate fabrics and also prevent that unsightly shine on suits and darker colours, that is unavoidable with a traditional iron. I use this steamer daily to refresh my work suits and using the turbo option cuts down time and effort sufficiently that I don't mind having to refill it often. On turbo, the 200ml tank runs for little over 5 minutes. The normal mode would extend the run time to just under 8 minutes. The microfiber attachment removes the dust as well as the lint, whilst the steam de-wrinkle and refresh the clothes. I didn't need to get my suits dry cleaned in a long time, thank to this (and it's predecessor) steamer. Having a good few years of experience with such handheld garment steamers, I learnt that deionized water (not distilled, softened or tap water) works best as not only it keeps the steamer limescale free which in turn keeps the steam flowing steadily, it prevents the hot sprays and staining of the clothes. In 8 years, I never had to descale my steamer or the iron. A 2.5L bottle is about pound fifty from 'every little helps'. The cable is 2.5m which I found to be adequate for my use, albeit shorter than Tefal's other handheld steamers. The biggest issue is the size of the water tank but I suppose that's to keep the operating weight manageable.

Not terrible impressed . The steamer is quite heavy to hold and runs out of steam very quickly . Is it as good as an iron or professional steam cleaner ? Nope I don’t think so , I bought it to help with ironing. You definitely need a flat steam proof surface to hold it up to , it’s difficult to achieve a very smooth ironed look .

Really good steamer with extra water capacity.

Easy to use

Absolutely brilliant steamer. I've only used on silk garments thus far. It's powerful but also works wonders on delicate fabrics. My favourite household tool.

I returned it unused as it was too heavy for me.
