1800 W with 36 g/min of steam: The full-power setup of the Philips 1000 Series, delivering a steady 36 grams of steam a minute. That is the level that gets creases out of thicker cottons, woollens and layered outfits rather than merely relaxing them.

Adjustable double poles: Two telescopic poles carry the hanger, so garments stay put and at the right height while you work down them. The frame collapses when you are finished.

Three steam settings: Turn the dial down for silk and chiffon or up for denim and coats. One appliance handles a mixed wardrobe without you having to guess.

1.8 litre detachable tank: Unclip the transparent tank, fill it at the tap and slot it back. It holds enough for a long steaming session, and you can top it up part-way through.

Ready in 45 seconds: Short enough that a single garment is worth the trouble, so it earns its space rather than sitting unused.

Hanger, glove and fabric brush included: The glove lets you pull fabric taut safely, and the clip-on brush works the steam into heavier weaves such as wool and thick cotton.
