Tefal Care for You First Automatic Clothes Steamer, Deep Blue

Actually works. Dry clean all my blazers, sanitise pillows before baby arrival, 10minutes and my shirts are ready for office. What else does a man want!

Great product: its quick, efficient, and a good alternative to hand-held steamers or ironing on a day to day basis, especially when just freshening up clothes that were in the closet for a while. It takes up a fair amount of space, as one would expect, and can hang hang ~3 shirts at a time. Easy to collapse and move around as it‘s light.

Unit worked initially then failed Amazon took for repair then failed to return - then told that it want coming back still trying to get refund - avoid

Expensive for what you get. A conventional steamer will be better

It’s effective and super easy to use! Super time saving from the manual work!

Comes in a big box, and it is quite heavy! Built to typical Tefal quality, the unit looks smart and it all feels well made and solid. Comes In a nice classy blue colour, which will blend in anywhere. It is quite small though when not in use, as it compacts down to a short size. In use, just pull up the side to extend it. You get a water tank on the side you have to fill first. To use you get three hangers and weights for the clothes. Once you have hung say a shirt on a hanger, you then attach weights to the cuffs and lower part of the shirt. Obviously can add more than one shirt if needed. Then raise the cover so it locks in place. Using the remote you can select between steam, sanitise or dry. It defaults to steam. Whichever program is selected, the graphic lights up below it. And them select the time. Press start and off it goes. It makes a little bit of noise in use, but not much. When finished you get a notification beep. After a 30 minute programme the shirts come out lovely and wrinkle free. And as no Iron has been used on them, the fabric feels softer. Steam will be the most used setting, but quick refresh is good for removing odours from clothes. Sanitize mode removes 99.9% of Viruses and bacteria, so good for cleaning children’s soft toys etc. If you have a few suits you like to look after, then this will pay for itself In no time. Typically a suit is £20 at the dry cleaners, and with this you can clean and freshen your suits anytime you like. Just for shirts alone though. Hang a few in there , press start and come back to nice crease free shirts. Once you have got the hang of it, this will save you time. Another life (and time) saver from Tefal!

This is easy to set up, but is quite bulky, even when reduced to its smallest size for storage, so you definitely need to plan where you’re going to keep it. I tried a linen shirt as my first item, and it was as good as new in 20 minutes. The shirt was slightly damp afterwards, so not recommended to don items straight afterward in winter. The plug lead is a little on the short side, so you will either need to locate it near a socket, or get an extension lead. As to height, this is not really quite high enough for a full length dress, which is a shame, but you could probably fold it in half on a hanger. The functions are good, but its shortcomings deprive it of a star.

Bought elsewhere but it works very well for my needs. Plain white t shirts no longer need ironing, ditto smart and casual shirts. (Aside from a quick go at collar and cuffs) not used to refresh a suit yet but im certain that will work. Just wish it was higher capacity so that I could put my kids school shirts etc in. (Max 2 shirts, one t shirt) with given weights.
