The key features of the new handheld garment steamers are as follows:

“Steam and Go” with Convenience

Customers can say goodbye to bulky, traditional irons and ironing boards as both the NI-GHF025WSK and NI-GHD015WSK handheld garment steamers effortlessly refresh your garments with minimal effort and maximum convenience.

Both handheld garment steamers are lightweight and compact with the NI-GHF025WSK model weighing at 600g with a 120ml water tank, while the NI-GHD015WSK model is only 530g with a 70ml water tank.

The NI-GHF025WSK is a foldable model that features a Titanium Soleplate, an innovative steam technology that offers a 2-way ironing: steam and dry. For those who own delicate clothes that cannot be ironed, the NI-GHD015WSK model is the best choice as it comes with a Plastotype panel, where you can only expect powerful steam rather than an overheating soleplate melting your clothes.

Fast, Seamless and Smooth Ironing

Both models offer a Rapid Start-Up that allows you to start steaming clothes in just 30 seconds for the NI-GHF025WSK model and 20 seconds for the NI-GHD015WSK model, great for when you are in a time crunch. The 1300W steam power of up to 21g/min smooths our deep wrinkles in no time.

Stay Fresh and Hygienic
