Ironing is one of the most tedious household chores, and no-one wants to be spending hours at the ironing board when there are plenty of other things that need doing in the run-up to Christmas. For those seeking a less time-consuming way to smarten up their clothes, many shoppers swear by one alternative gadget – and our shopping experts have spotted a way to bag it for less.
The Express Steam Handheld Garment Steamer has a price tag of £49.99, but shoppers can get it for £22.99 by using the discount code BFSTEAM54 on the Morphy Richards website. As its name suggests, a garment steamer uses steam to remove wrinkles and creases from clothes without the need of an ironing board, making it ideal for quick jobs or to use on-the-go.
The steam can also help to remove odour, with this steamer killing 99.9% of bacteria according to Morphy Richards, meaning it can also be used to give clothes an easy refresh between washes, as well as spruce up the likes of upholstery, curtains and bedding around the home. There’s also a lint brush and garment creaser included to help achieve the perfect finish on different materials.

Suitable for a range of fabrics
Equipped with a generous 260ml water tank, the Express Steam Handheld Garment Steamer has a fast heat-up time of 35 seconds, Morphy Richards claims. Users can choose between Eco mode for lightweight material such as cotton, or Turbo Boost mode for stubborn creases, so it’s suitable for use on a range of different fabrics.
It’s also a practical choice for bringing on trips, as its small dimensions mean it can conveniently be tucked into a suitcase or travel bag. This way, customers can maintain their garments looking smart and wrinkle-free while travelling, without depending on hotel ironing equipment, reports the Mirror.

‘Great for a busy household’
Those after a larger tank might find the Philips Garment Steamer 1000 Series (£109) a more suitable option. It boasts a sizeable 1.8L water tank and comes fitted with three steam settings delivering up to 36g/min of continuous steam.
Alternatively, anyone in the market for a professional-grade clothes steamer might fancy the f1200 Clothes Steamer Pro (£159) from Fridja. It packs a powerful 2200W heater that gets up to steam in just 35 seconds, while its whopping 3-litre water tank means you can keep going for longer without refilling.
Meanwhile, the Express Steam Handheld Garment Steamer has already racked up some glowing reviews from customers, earning an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars. One shopper enthused: “So much quicker and easier than ironing! Great for a busy household!”
Another praised: “The handheld device you need, I was so impressed with the device I will be using instead of ironing. The uniforms were crease-free so quickly! Highly recommend for all.”

‘Ideal for quick jobs in the morning’
A third reviewer chipped in: “Good little item. Much easier than getting the iron and ironing board out. I keep it in my wardrobe, and it is great for getting rid of those wardrobe creases.”
Though they did point out: “It does get rid of heavy creases too but takes a little bit longer.”
Someone else wrote in a five-star review: “Very useful to smooth out little creases and freshen up garments. Not a full replacement for a traditional iron if you’re looking for something professional, but ideal for quick jobs in the morning, especially kids’ uniforms when you’re in a hurry. I can imagine taking it on holidays too!”
