'User friendly' Tefal Clothes Steamer touted as a 'game changer' slashed by 50%
Tefal's handheld steamer, now £44.99 on Amazon, offers 10 minutes of steam, a lint-lifting brush, and Smart Temp tech that sanitises without burning
Whether it's smoothing out work shirts or freshening up fabrics without hauling out an ironing board, handheld steamers have become a go-to solution for quick and easy garment care at home.
A powerful garment steamer from Tefal, praised by reviewers as both 'user-friendly' and a 'game changer,' has been reduced by 50 percent in a major deal on Amazon. The Tefal Handheld Clothes Steamer, normally priced at £89.99, is now available for just £44.99.
Finished in black and silver, the Tefal Handheld Clothes Steamer is part of Tefal's Access Steam Force range, which the brand says delivers its most powerful handheld steaming yet. With 2000W of power, a 90g/min steam boost, and ready to use in just 25 seconds, it's designed for tackling creases quickly and effectively, even on thicker fabrics.
The steamer offers both continuous and boost steam functions, a removable 0.2L water tank providing up to 10 minutes of use, and Smart Temp Technology to prevent burning. It also comes with a microfibre brush to lift lint and hair while sanitising garments with natural steam, claimed to kill 99.99 percent of bacteria and viruses.
A 2.6m power cord helps reach tricky spots like curtains or upholstery, while its upright design and auto shut-off feature add safety and convenience.
If you're after other budget-friendly steamers, the Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 2 in 1 is another solid option. Now £39.99, down from £59.99, it holds a 4.5-star rating from 279 reviews on the Russell Hobbs website.
Another choice is the Dunelm Grey & White Clothes Steamer, priced at just £20 with a 4.7-star rating from 70 reviews. It's a simple model for quick jobs, though not quite as powerful as Tefal's version.
But if it's the Tefal Handheld Clothes Steamer that's caught your eye, you're not alone, as many call it a go-to tool for everyday creases and sanitising. With a 4.1-star rating from over 1,100 reviews, it's become a popular choice for those looking to ditch the ironing board.
One reviewer wrote: 'This steamer is incredibly user-friendly, with a quick heat-up time that gets me going in just 25 seconds. The vertical steaming option is a game-changer for curtains and larger items.'
Another said: 'I recently moved to a small apartment and didn't want to deal with an ironing board. This steamer is honestly perfect. Super happy that I chose the 2000W version for better performance.'
Not all feedback was glowing, though. Some noted limitations in how long it runs and its effectiveness on heavily creased items.
One reviewer explained: 'Even though it has one of the larger water tanks, it needs refilling after about 10 minutes. It's great for light to moderate creases but not a replacement for an iron.'

Another said: 'It is a decent device but does not replace your iron… especially when trying to steam collars. I've started using my regular iron again, though I still like using this on coats and sofas.'
Still, for many, the steamer remains a worthwhile buy. One long-term user shared: 'I've been looking for something like this for ages. After five months, it's still going strong. Even the stubborn creases manage, and I love using it to freshen bedding and clothes.'
For those looking to simplify their routine and ditch the ironing board, the Tefal Handheld Clothes Steamer stands out as a solid option.
