A Review: Russell Hobbs’s 2-in-1 Handheld Garment Steamer

Do you need a quick fix when it comes to managing your laundry? Perhaps you’re after a compact iron that removes wrinkles without the need for an ironing board? Worried about bacteria build up on your lightly soiled garments? Russell Hobbs’ 2-in-1 Handheld Garment Steamer is the answer! This multi-purpose iron can be used as a traditional iron, as well as a handheld vertical steamer to help you cater to any laundry and home refreshing need. Aside from your clothes, this garment steamer is also suitable for use on bedding, upholstery and curtains.

Convenient and simple to use, our friend Claire from @vanlifestraya has provided us with a first-hand review of how the Russell Hobbs 2-in-1 Handheld Garment Steamer performs. Check out her review below:

The reason I got this product was due it’s multi-function capabilities. We have a boutique campervan that we rent out from time to time and what really attracted me to this was the ability to remove bacteria and keep all our linens and fabrics hygienic and super clean.

The combined steaming and ironing features mean that we can keep our bed sheets really clean as well as being able to iron out all the stubborn creases that are usually quite tricky to get rid of.

And because we’re using it inside our campervan, the super quick heat-up time (around 45 seconds) is really handy for when we’re on the move and trying to quickly keep the interior of the van clean. And as you might imagine with a toddler in tow, it’s no easy feat! So, the fact that the steamer kills 99.9% of bacteria in just 60 seconds means that we’re able to keep a nice and clean environment for our little family. And the fact that I can do it quickly makes me pretty happy!

Additionally, although we don’t iron our clothes a lot, the fact that you don’t need an ironing board with this steamer makes things so much easier. Like I said, I’m all about products that save me time and help me throughout the day, and with its various functionalities, this steamer does exactly that.

There you have! For fuss-free ironing and garment steaming efforts, you can’t look past the Russell Hobbs 2-in-1 Handheld Garment Steamer.
