Unfortunately, I didn't understand the point and use of this ahem thing. Which, of course, could just be due to my lack of understanding, but given that I have understood the meaning and use of even seemingly much more complex things in the past, I suspect that this unfortunate result could be due to the product rather than me. The manufacturer strictly avoids overtly claiming that it is a full-fledged alternative to ironing (hence the term "steamer"), but on the other hand many marketing materials and some of the reviews strongly suggest that it should be an almost full-fledged replacement for ironing. I thought it might be a simple way to make a garment a little more comfortable with less effort and faster, without the need for lengthy ironing with a traditional iron on an ironing board. Unfortunately, this assumption turned out to be wrong. Unfortunately, working with the "steamer" is much more annoying, unnecessarily complicated and lengthy, and the result is absolutely incomparably desperate compared to classic ironing. The handling of the vertical ironing pad is restrictive (you have to have somewhere to hang it and adjust the ironing place accordingly), the hanging hook is ridiculously miniature, so that with any movement the hanger even with the clothes (clean, washed) tends to fall out and fall on the floor, I absolutely did not understand the function of this pad/strap, because it is soft and provides virtually no support that could help with "ironing", plus it is so small that a normal length garment hangs at least 1/3 off the pad anyway, and unlike a regular horizontal ironing board you can't move the garment as needed, so apparently 1/3 of the garment is supposed to remain un-ironed, not to mention the sleeves and other externals. The question arises as to what such a thing is actually for. I don't know. The actual "steamer" is big and heavy (even without water), because of the unusual shape it looks bigger than a classic iron and about the same weight. I remind you that you have to hold it in the air all the time, unlike a conventional iron. If you are hoping that this inconvenience and impracticality will be compensated by the shorter time it takes to achieve the result, I must disappoint you. "Ironing" with a "steamer" is tedious if the garment is to have any effect. I would say that about five minutes of work with the "steamer" corresponds to the effect that can be achieved after five seconds of work with a classic steam iron on the ironing board. Add to this the aforementioned limitations where you only have to work where you can conveniently hang the garment, but where you don't mind wetting surfaces and surroundings with steam and dripping condensation, and I end up with a very impractical tool that doesn't fulfil any of my requirements. I bought the Tefal DT9100E0 Access Steam Care steamer unpacked, after someone apparently returned it. I now understand why and will return it as well. If you use the product and are happy with it, I congratulate you and wish you well, unfortunately I was not so lucky.
