Hand steamer Deerma DEM HS006

Folding handle. Storage box. Fast heating (20 sec). Brush attachment.

Introduced at the beginning of 2020, the handheld steamer of the popular Xiaomi brand is notable for its well-thought-out ergonomics, stylish design characteristic of the brand and a reasonable price tag. The model received a white plastic case of a cylindrical shape, because of which it looks a little like a hair dryer. The handle is foldable for easy transport and storage. A transparent water tank with a capacity of 100 mL is placed on top, which can lead to analogies with a water gun.

The Xiaomi Deerma Garment Steamer steamer received an 800-watt heating element, which starts to supply steam within 20 seconds after being turned on. The temperature of the latter should reach, according to the manufacturer, a value of 160 °C. The device is intended mainly for quick steam smoothing, that is, removing wrinkles on clothes, refreshing and disinfecting (antibacterial treatment). A nice addition is that the package includes a stylish storage box.

The steamer, made in the laconic design familiar to the Xiaomi brand and snow-white coloring, is characterized by a folding design. When assembled, the model will not take up much space in a storage niche or travel suitcase.

Easy operation

Xiaomi Deerma Garment Steamer is extremely easy to use. First you need to unfold the handle: it leans back to a characteristic click by 110 °, which is designed to provide a more comfortable grip. Then, in the 100 mL reservoir located on top, you need to pour water using the supplied measuring cup. After that, you need to turn on the device: the only button is located on the back of the case, and the 800-watt heater will bring the liquid to the desired conditions after just 20 seconds. And to supply steam, you need to press the power button again.

High temperature for disinfection

The manufacturer claims that the temperature of the supplied steam reaches 160 °C. As a result, in addition to smoothing, fabrics are disinfected and refreshed, that is, some unpleasant odours are removed without washing.

Like most analogues, Xiaomi Deerma Garment Steamer allows you to perform vertical and horizontal steaming. The manufacturer did not indicate the steam intensity figures, but judging by the reviews, they are enough to combat wrinkles on light and obedient fabrics, such as synthetic T-shirts or combined materials. But with dense cotton and linen, the model handles worse than its counterparts: one product will require a whole reservoir of water and take more time (up to 8 – 10 minutes).

Stylish and convenient case

The steamer is equipped with a brush attachment, which helps to combine mechanical and steam effects on the fabric. It is recommended to use such an accessory with woolen things, curtains, soft toys, etc. To store the model and attachment, a practical case is proposed, made in the same style as the device.

Xiaomi Deerma Garment Steamer is able to become a good road assistant, that is, it is suitable for people who are often on the road.
