3000 Series Handheld Steamer, 1000W, 20 g/min Steam, Kills Germs, Detachable 100ml Water Tank, Compact + Foldable, Plastic Plate, Blue (STH3000/26)

Brilliant steamer I've got 2 so easy to use and we always take one on holiday as its light just love it and really irons clothes would recommend it to everyone

The steamer is actually really good. Heats up fast and makes ironing super quick. I’ve used it on a few shirts and it does the job well. Definitely saves time compared to pulling out a full-size iron and board. Build quality feels solid too. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s lightweight and easy to use which is a plus. Only thing is the water tank is pretty small. I had to refill it after doing just one shirt which gets a bit annoying if you’re doing a few at once. Overall still happy with it. I’d give it a 4.5 if that was possible. Good product if you don’t mind a bit of refilling.

Very impressed so far. Have only tried it on a shirt and t-shirt but the results were excellent. The creases fall out. Steamer heats up quickly is lightweight to hold and easy to use. Tank is slightly small but there was water remaining after steaming those 2 shirts. Overall good value for money

On the positive side, the build quality is good and the Heat-up time is just 30 seconds and easy to empty the high-grade detachable plastic tank. However, it doesn’t replace a steam iron as I had assumed. On a cotton shirt, it barely removed wrinkles and did even worse on denim pants, removing only about 60% of the wrinkles on the shirt. The small 100ml water tank empties quickly, consuming 200ml just for one shirt and the pants. It generates a lot of steam, which can cause mould problems due to condensation in winter, necessitating a dehumidifier. Additionally, this model only allows for vertical steaming, so garments must be hung and cannot be steamed in the usual way on an ironing board or bed. It's a quick solution when you can't find an ironing board or don't want to carry a traditional iron, such as removing folds from clothes from a suitcase or small wrinkles on a suit during travel. It weighs around 720 grams and has a 2-meter cord. However, the small water tank is a drawback, making it unsuitable for ironing a large pile of clothes. Unlike a traditional steam iron that uses steam, heat, and pressure, this device only uses heated continuous steam, making it less effective on thicker fabrics. It's useful for light wrinkles and delicate fabrics like suits, polyester/nylon sportswear, or fabrics with embroidery, metal, or beadwork that can't be ironed normally. For best results, use distilled or demineralized water to avoid lime scales. As a tip, freshly collected water from the dehumidifier tank works well. I've also used Brita-filtered water without issues in emergencies. Be cautious of the very hot steam flow.

I recently got the Philips 3000 Series Handheld Steamer, and it's been a handy addition to my routine. The compact, foldable design makes it easy to store and perfect for travel. It heats up in about 30 seconds, which is great when I'm in a rush. The 1000W power delivers a decent 20 g/min steam output, enough to smooth out light wrinkles. The 100ml detachable water tank is easy to refill but requires frequent topping up during longer sessions. I appreciate that it kills germs, adding an extra layer of cleanliness to my clothes. However, it's not a replacement for a traditional iron on heavier fabrics or stubborn creases. Overall, it's a convenient tool for quick touch-ups and refreshing garments.

This handheld steamer is a great size for both storing and for travelling with the useful fold away handle. It’s so easy to quickly get out and use rather than setting up an iron/ironing board and performs an excellent job, surpassing my expectations for the price. It has transformed the way my clothes look on me, they now look far smarter and more expensive. Even down to steaming my trench coat which wasn’t particularly creased before but now it looks immaculate and far more expensive than it really was. I’m rather ashamed to think I used to forgo steaming my clothes. I find the steamer particularly useful for garments that have gathered areas (such as dresses with a gathered waist) or pleats, where ironing is much more difficult. I too have been able to steam my dresses of more fragile material that I couldn’t use an iron on at all and it makes a huge difference to the overall appearance, even though they didn’t appear badly creased to begin with. It’s worth noting that steaming still isn’t suitable for all materials however. I also personally prefer the more natural finish from a steamer where the garment just appears relaxed rather than a little rigid and overworked from ironing. In addition to this I have found more uses for the device than just dealing with creases and I now give my workout wear a quick steam over after it’s washed and dried to ensure all bacteria is killed and this definitely has kept them fresher overall. I give the bed pillows a steam in between washes as well to kill bacteria and freshen them up which is much better for my face and prevents breakouts forming. I also steam the sofa cushions too to freshen them up. From using it over recent weeks I would comment as follows: -The model I purchased has a 100ml water tank which in real life generally translates to 1 garment’s worth of steam give or take (around 7 minutes worth). You can get models with a slightly greater water capacity. The orange dress in my pictures took me 10 minutes and used 1.5 tanks of water, the green shirt took me 7 minutes and used 1 tank of water. -Bear in mind that the garment will be a little damp immediately after steaming and therefore you will need to allow it to hang for a little while before wearing it -I’d advise that you also purchase a steaming glove as it’s very easy to catch yourself with the steam when you’re pulling the material taught -The device does spit a little when using which does leave wet marks on your clothes which soon dry. (As you can see slightly on the green shirt) -Some people suggest to use distilled water in order to avoid a chalky buildup from the minerals in the water however I use tap water and haven’t found a problem as yet -Steaming is not necessarily quicker than ironing, however it is easier and less faffy as well as having some different uses to an iron Overall I cannot fault this device for the price (I did purchase during the prime day sale) and it’s made a huge difference to my wardrobe. If I were to purchase again I’d get the model with the slightly larger water tank. I hope this helps someone.

Compact and easy to use, it does a great job for quick touch-ups and light steaming tasks. It heats up fast, delivers consistent steam, and feels like good quality for its price range. Probably ideal for travel or everyday use when you don’t want to pull out a full-size iron. One downside: I didn’t receive the pouch, which I thought was supposed to be included. A bit disappointing, especially for storage and portability. I’ve seen others mention the cord is a bit short — and it is — but personally, it doesn’t bother me. Overall, a solid steamer that delivers good performance for its size and cost.

The steamer works very well. It heats up fast and gets rid of wrinkles quickly. The water tank is a bit small, it holds enough liquid for approximately one garment before having to refill. All in all, it's definitely faster and easier to use than a traditional iron with the only drawback being the inability to strengthen structural folds in clothes such as shirt collars or pleats.
