The design is very pretty, colour scheme is so fashionable, and a cord is very long.It removes wrinkles very quickly and adjusts heat to the most suitable range. It's either eco or higher level, but it doesn't stay on higher for too long and goes down to the eco so it's not too hot and not damaging for clothes.There's no water leakage, only tiny bits at the beginning when the steamer is heating up.Two different sizes of water holders are amazing, it depends of how many products you decide to steam, you can choose one, or like me, fill up both to save time. Also the protective glove and matt, which are also holders for the steamer and for the accessories, are very useful and well designed.The only problem can be with a scale production over time, but usually the initial burst of steam removes it well.In overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, as it's easy to use, intuitive without unnecessary amount of programs, pretty light and well made.

Just tried it out. A little heavier than I expected.  Appears to work great. Purchased and iron/ steamer which was very light, and rubbish.  This one will be ideal to take on holiday.

I use this daily! Perfect to get light creases out of jeans, jumpers, linen items. Easy to use, lightweight, small in size takes up no room. Not noises and does the job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me

I really wanted this to be a game changer. It looks cute and easy to pack. For me this was just ok and if you take filling up the little water tank with distilled water into consideration, no quicker than an iron. Am looking forward to getting a more effective steamer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab steamer, portable and easy to use.

Great product, easy to use, and it works. If you have stubborn creases, then yes, an iron may be needed but it depends on the clothing. Some of my shirts are a linen-cotton blend, and it works well. Also on t-shirts - I wear t-shirts to work - but they can't be creased. Also used it to steam some flags I had to use at an event! Worked great on the bed in the hotel. Photo was as I was starting in fairness but they came out great. Much more fun than ironing!

5.0 out of 5 stars 21st Century Iron

j.g. · 9 February 2025

The Philips 5000 handheld steamer is bringing ironing into the 21st Century. I chose this particular version partly to free up cupboard space (no more bulky iron/ironing board) and partly as I wanted to get “down with the kids” as apparently conventional ironing is old hat now. I mainly chose it though because it looks like a really cool space gun!I chose the red option which is actually a vibrant slightly dusky coral colour (not scarlet as it looks in done photos). I must point out that the difference between colours in this range is not just the colour but the accessories that come with it: the coral/red comes with just a heat protecting mit that doubles up as a storage bag. Some of the others in this range have an additional ironing mat and slightly larger capacity 200ml water holder.Main features: 35 second heat up time (I timed it). There is an on/off switch and an eco/max button. Also a trigger that you press to release a burst of steam. I particularly like this as it means you’re not wasting water and can control exactly where to steam. I couldn’t really notice a difference with the max mode, I guess it just dumps more steamer faster.The device can be used either straight or bent - just click it into the bent position for the “space gun” look. I only tried using it in this position and it was comfortable to use.The steamer can be rested on its side while adjusting garments etc to steam - the hot plate doesn’t touch the surface so seems safe. You could rest it in the heat mit for extra security.The main thing I was concerned about before purchasing was whether the water tank would be big enough. The capacity is 120mls. I found this gave me approx 5-10 mins use on eco mode, which was ample. I refilled it twice in my ironing session but that was just because I was trying it out around the home seeing if I could steam off old stains on curtains / cupboard doors (it didn’t work so well on these - a gadget with a scrubby head might have been more appropriate).The weight was fine, not ultra light but by no means weighty. don’t think the 200ml water tank would have been necessary - and would add to the overall weight. Also, I could mark it down for length of the lead (2 metres) but I think that a longer lead would also have added to the weight. Just something to consider but you could always add an extension lead.The water holder just clicks on and off, has a rubber seal that covers the water hole (flipIt to fill it). It seems fairly durable - possibly potentially the weakest point for longevity but time will tell.Use: you can iron like a flat conventional iron or just hang up a garment, slightly stretch out the part you want to de-wrinkle (wear the mit for this), spray the steam and you’re done.Overall, I’d definitely recommend. It exceeded my expectations for looks and use. And it works! No more grappling with a heavy old ironing board and airing for a steam iron to warm up.

Perfect Item to have at home!

It works very well for my need of occasional light ironing. I like the mat & gloves, really useful & the water tank with 2 different capacities is very handy. I would highly recommend this model/option over the others where some accessories aren't included.
