Features

Faster results with AirStretch

Experience 3 x faster³ steaming with AirStretch Technology. Its 2600 Pa powerful suction⁴ gently pulls fabric flat, helping steam reach deeper for faster, more even results so you can get ready under 3 minutes – start to finish⁵.

Removes wrinkles in one glide

Half the effort. Better results. Suction holds fabric in place, so one hand is all you need. Glide edge to edge – top to bottom, no adjusting, just effortless steaming in an easier way⁶.

No burns guaranteed

OptimalTEMP Technology keeps every ironable fabric safe, from delicate silk to sturdy denim. Steam confidently without changing settings or waiting for the right temperature.

Powerful steam performance

Up to 24 g/min steam output and 1500 W power remove even tough wrinkles quickly and effectively, giving your clothes a crisp, freshly pressed finish every time⁷.

Steam anywhere, easily

Effortless one-hand steaming for precision as steam plate glides smoothly. Use it vertically for hanging garments or horizontally for flat surfaces⁹ – whichever suits your style and space.

Three modes for every fabric

Choose what suits your garment the best: steam only for most delicate garments, low suction with steam for silk and satin, or high suction with steam for thicker materials like cotton that need a little extra care.

Ready to use in seconds

Always ready when you are. The steamer heats up in as little as 30 seconds, ideal for quick morning refreshes or last-minute outfit prep. Just switch it on, steam, and go.

Removable water tank

Enjoy the flexibility of two removable water tanks; 140 ml for quick touch-ups, 200 ml for larger loads. Together, steam up to 8 garments for 20 minutes. When it's time to top up, simply detach, fill, and click back in place.

Kills 99.9% of bacteria

More than just smooth; steam also refreshes your clothes. It kills up to 99.9% of bacteria and removes odours, keeping your garments clean and fresh between washes⁸.

Peace of mind with built-in auto shut-off

If left idle for 10 minutes, the device shuts off automatically. It helps prevent accidents and saves energy – keeping the home safe while reducing electricity use.

Door hook

Hang your garments with ease while steaming. The handy door hook gives you a stable place to position clothes, making every session simpler and more comfortable, especially when space is limited.
