The Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 2-in-1 Handheld Clothes Steamer has been slashed to £32.95 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, down from £59.99 — a 45% saving. The deal is available exclusively to Amazon Prime members, though new users can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
Key Features of the Steam Genie
According to Russell Hobbs, the steamer features a 150ml water tank offering up to 10 minutes of continuous steam. It operates on a single temperature setting, eliminating the need for dial adjustments. Unlike some models, it does not require holding down a button; a single press produces steady steam until pressed again to turn off.
Shopping Contributor Sally Newall described it as a "game-changer" for tackling creased clothing without an ironing board. She noted: "The fact it doubles up as a small iron means I can really get in the creases, too." The device includes attachments for delicate fabrics (silk, lace), upholstery, and thicker fabrics like coats.
Customer Feedback
One Amazon shopper reported: "I can do around six or seven items before needing to refill the detachable water tank, and it’s light enough to hold comfortably. I’ve also started using it to freshen up bed sheets between washes." The steamer is also claimed to remove 99.9% of bacteria from fabrics.
Some users noted the need to refill the tank after several items as a minor inconvenience, but overall reviews highlight its ease of use and versatility for clothes, upholstery, and bedding.
