10 Best Clothes Steamers UK 2024 | Morphy Richards, Tefal and More

We love it when a company that we know and trust delivers, as it reaffirms our faith in them all over again, and this is what Morphy Richards have done here. This handheld is a brilliant appliance that is also well-priced, which is surely what most of us hope to find in a purchase. 

The steamer has everything, from a respectable CSR and wattage, to a decent water tank for its size and even an additional brush. Where it stands apart from the other smaller steamers is its inclusion of two different heat/steam modes, which is impressive compared to most other handheld models. For these reasons, this quality product takes our number 1 spot. 

This uniquely-designed steamer from trusted-brand Tefal is a hybrid of a standalone and a handheld steamer, with yet another added bonus of acting as a regular iron too! The price point makes it an investment item, but we are certain you won't be disappointed.

The appliance also has a 1.1 L tank capacity and runs at an amazing 90 g/min - with an optional boost taking it to 200 g/min for short periods. Wow! Furthermore, its compact cuboid shape makes it much easier to store neatly away when not in use - or you could leave it out on display, as it looks stylish enough!

The ample tank holds 2.2 litres and allows this steamer to run continuously for over 65 minutes, at an impressive 30 g/min steam output. It is on wheels, making it perfect for those who like to frequently clean and straighten not only clothes, but other fabrics around the home.

This steamer also comes with a wonderful array of different accessories to ensure that whatever you like to clean will be done so with the utmost ease. It's an excellent price for an impressive piece of kit.

While this Russell Hobbs number won't win any awards for its looks, it functions well, and that's arguably the most important thing. We particularly love the design as it utilises a steam lock system, so you don't have to continue pressing and risk injuring your trigger finger. 

Moreover, there is a decent-length cord and a good-sized water tank. Unusually, for a handheld device, it also comes with an array of different accessories - upholstery, lint and fabric brushes. These inclusions make it an excellent choice for those who like to keep on top of all their textiles. 

If you're someone who plans to (or already does) take their steaming seriously, then you're going to love the IXEO from Tefal. Its wheels allow it to be easily manoeuvred around the home and its board can be positioned upright, at a 30-degree angle or horizontally, depending on which is best for you. 

Allowing you to ditch your regular iron and ironing board, this appliance has three different heat settings, 1600 W of power and an impressive 35 g/min of steam. Even larger loads will be finished and looking fresh before you know it. 

With a rapid 45 second heat-up time, this steamer from Philips means business. As well as firing up quickly, it's also great against a range of fabrics thanks to its CSR and power. Plus, the long cord length and low weight make it very comfortable to use. 

It does have a far-below-average size of water tank, although we think this indicates what the steamer was designed for – quick touch-ups rather than extended use. The device can be used in both vertical and horizontal positions, making it a versatile piece of kit whether at home or away. 

While it might be small, this handheld steamer from Swan packs enough of a punch to ensure you keep on top of your clothing maintenance. The device will quickly and effectively remove crinkles, wrinkles and odours and can even be used in both upright and horizontal positions. 

Furthermore, it's ergonomic, easy to use and has a 250 ml tank capacity. Some buyers found the tank to be a little leaky though, which is something you might find frustrating if you want to steam at awkward angles. 

While Tefal might be better known for creating good-quality cooking equipment, they've also branched out and are making other useful goodies for the home. Thankfully, they've maintained their high standards and reasonable prices with the Pro Style Steam. 

Its standout features are its impressive 30 g/min continuous steam rate, followed by the three different heat settings - allowing you to tackle any fabric type. It comes with only one accessory brush, however and some reviews report dripping, making clothes wetter than expected.

This tiny travel steamer packs down small enough to fit in any overnight bag - so it's perfect for when you need to look your best for a morning meeting or event. Despite its small stature, it provides 10 minutes of continuous steaming, thanks to the 150 ml tank.

You can also use this gadget as a traditional dry iron - by not activating the steam setting. This 'ironing' option is one of 5 settings, also including a 'sterilisation' option to quickly sanitise items. Obviously it isn't designed for steaming numerous outfits / fabrics, but it's a great, miniature take-along piece of kit.

While it may not have the stylish looks of the other appliances in our ranking, this offering from Pro Breeze is a great portable-yet-sturdy option; it even comes with a travel pouch. The long nozzle design helps you target areas more precisely. 

However, due to the compact size and the travel concept, there are some flaws, such as the low wattage and the lack of any additional settings or brushes. Still, for something fuss-free and robust enough to chuck into your suitcase, it'll still ensure you look sharp for your evening meal out.
