Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 27220 Handheld Garment Steamer with 200ml Tank

The Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 27220 is a handheld electric garment steamer designed to quickly remove wrinkles and freshen fabrics without the need for an ironing board. Operating at 1800 watts, it heats up in approximately 45 seconds and produces a steady steam output of 28 grams per minute. The device features a 200ml detachable water tank that provides up to seven minutes of continuous steaming, making it suitable for refreshing entire outfits or performing quick touch-ups on hanging garments, curtains, or bedding. Its vertical steaming capability allows you to work on items while they remain on hangers or even while duvets are still on the bed. Key features include three practical attachments: a delicate fabric tool for fine materials like silk or chiffon, an upholstery attachment for sofas and curtains, and a lint brush to remove fluff and hair from clothing. The steamer incorporates a steam trigger lock for continuous operation and an automatic shut-off function for safety. It is designed to be gentle on fabrics with decorative elements like beads or sequins, and its germ-busting properties are claimed to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria within 60 seconds of steam contact. The unit comes with a 3-metre power cord and cord wrap for convenient storage. This steamer is best suited for individuals seeking a space-saving alternative to traditional irons, particularly those with limited storage or who frequently need to refresh garments quickly. It's practical for everyday use on a wide range of fabrics, from everyday cotton and linen to more delicate materials. The compact design also makes it a consideration for travel, although its 1.63kg weight should be factored in. It offers a straightforward solution for maintaining a crisp appearance in clothing, soft furnishings, and even certain types of fabric backdrops, all while operating from a standard UK power socket.
