I chose to buy this particular steam cleaner because I trust Xiaomi for the build quality of their household products. I’m glad I got it because indeed the quality of the materials is very high – the steam cleaner has soft plastic everywhere which is pleasant to the touch.

Apart from the construction materials, I was impressed that within 30 seconds the iron was ready to use. The steam cleaner consists of the ironing system, the water tank, the base where you can rest the hot iron, and finally a protective glove. To be honest, I never used the glove.

For the water tank, I suggest you use filtered or deionized water. The base allows you to rest the iron while it’s on, even when you have activated the continuous steam spray function.

Regarding its functions, I liked that the device gives you options for how it emits steam. There is a button that, when pressed several times, releases a very strong burst of steam to straighten more difficult areas. There is also a continuous steam release button – I found it ideal when ironing jeans and long shirts.

What I loved is the safety feature: if you don’t move the iron for a few minutes, it automatically shuts off to prevent any accidents.

Finally, I should say that I don’t recommend it for families. It’s a small iron with a small water tank, so I had to interrupt ironing several times to refill it. For example, I had to refill it twice to iron 3 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, and 5 underwear.

Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the purchase and I consider it a reliable solution for lighter use.
