Great review! I have unfortunately not been able to get it to emit any steam for some reason, maybe it’s because I used tap water? Or didn’t fill it up properly?
I didn’t see much steam coming out at first either, but if you push the button down for a period of time and then release it, the steam will appear. It did for me ☺️ when the steam isn’t visible I think it just goes into the garment. Filling it completely up also helps! Always use demineralized water and not tap water if you live in an area where the water is very hard. ☺️
There’s not a lot of steam coming out of it in general. You should just keep pressing the button and when you let it go, then it lets some steam out. But again, it’s not a whole lot.
Great review, I've been interested in this for many months now. As it's a hybrid product, do you feel like the steaming feature is handicapped? Or would you say it works as well as any other dedicated steamer, with an added iron function?
Thank you, so happy to hear that! The steamer works just as well I would say. The iron is just a heated plate on the mouthpiece so it doesn’t really interfere with the steaming function. But I know what you mean, I’ve owned a hybrid washing machine/tumble dryer and that was a nightmare! I think this tends to be a problem with more advanced hybrid technologies.
Yes, that’s the only way to control the steam. And yes, after using it for a while that can happen! To me that usually happens when I’m steaming more than two pieces of clothing at a time. I’ve just bought their Cumulus steamer and since it’s standing on the floor the steamer itself is not as heavy as the Cirrus 3 Iron steamer and I’m excited to see if that one’s more comfortable to use or not!
A hot iron can easily burn or damage more delicate fabrics like silk, satin, cashmere, polyester. Since steamers release wrinkles without coming into direct contact with clothing, they are a much safer option for delicate fabrics. But this one has iron in front of it, do you think it defeats the purpose of a steamer? Can you please suggest as I am buying this only for clothes that can otherwise burn with iron
I have used it on garments and other textiles made of polyester and silk/cotton blends, but haven’t found the ironing plate to be problematic. However I made sure not to keep the plate still against the fabric, just to be sure! But if you don’t need the iron at all you might as well just buy their Cirrus no 2 I think, which is a fair amount cheaper ☺️ so generally no, I don’t think it defeats the purpose of a steamer but if you only need it for garments made of delicate materials, I would get the no 2 instead of the no 3.
I used many diff hand steamers this one was the by far the worst. It's unnecessarily heavy, cord is way stiff and get in the way. Most importantly you tend to get burned easily with the weird big uncomfortable grip and button placement. Just bad design all around.
It is! You can easily use up one tank just by steaming one shirt if it’s very, very creased. I’m probably buying the bigger model at some point myself because of that ☺️
@@KatjaNordkvist Thank you for responding. I'd like to get a good steamer but I'm wondering if this one really fits the bill. I'm ironing my shirts, I have a good iron with plenty of steam for cotton, I need something for vertically steaming my suits and pants, wool, linen or wool-silk-linen mostly, fabrics tend to be heavier in suits, 320-450 grams, not sure if this one's strong enough for the almost industrial steaming that suits require. I brush my suits, blazers, pants and coats before and after every wear and use wide cedar wood hangers of proper size, but some jackets still crumple up a little on the lower back side and steamer might do the trick. Have you tried steaming your knits, merino wool, cashmere? Knitwear can be ironed on lower temps and steam from the iron but a steamer might be better, what do you think?
@@toobalkain I have tried steaming my husbands blazer once, I think I would categorize it as made of medium thick fabric and that went well! But again, the tank is small. In my opinion the handheld steamer a great option if you´re on the go a lot, like traveling a lot for work! No, I haven´t tried using it on knitwear. I mostly just hang my knits outside to freshen them up a little bit :) But according to Steamery you should be careful when steaming delicate materials like wool, cashmere and silk because of the high temperature.
@@KatjaNordkvist I know, they're saying the same about ironing knits but I'm ironing mine, I just use a lower temp and go over with a soft touch and plenty of steam from the iron, I used to use a protective muslin cloth but I find merino, cashmere and silk-cotton-cashmere take temperature just fine. I also used to think that knits should not be washed but I've since learned here on youtube they take water well too, you just need to do it right and dry them by wrapping them in a towel and then lay them out on a rack rather than hanging.
Thank you for this review Katja! So happy your like our Cirrus 3 😊
You’re welcome 🙏🏼☺️
Thanks for reviewing it. It helps me a lot.
That’s so good to hear! Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏼

@@KatjaNordkvist Thank you for your tips, I'm definitely gonna try it out and see if it works ^^
My cirrus 3 doesn’t steam at all is there something you know I should do in order to make the steam produce?

Mine doesn’t steam. The cheaper ones are way better 😢 returning this one

So should I continuously press the steam button for letting steam out? i found it very inconvenient and I got a completely sore hand 😓

Can you review the fabric shaver? Interested to see if it works, thanks
I will! 🙌🏼
This was really helpful, thanks ❤
That’s so good to hear! Thank you!
super nice useful and great video, thanks!🥰
Thank you, I’m glad you found it useful! 🥰
Thank you katja
You’re welcome 🙏🏼
Mine doesn’t give any steam. I’m so disappointed. It’s very bad cause you also need to keep pressing the button to be able to get any heat
I’m sorry to hear that! Steam should definitely be coming out of it, but my experience is that it’s not a lot.

This steamer costs $300 in Canada 😢🤯
Yes, they are pretty expensive in some countries 😬

90ml sounds like a very small tank, their home model looks more promising.
It is! You can easily use up one tank just by steaming one shirt if it’s very, very creased. I’m probably buying the bigger model at some point myself because of that ☺️
