Verdict

The Girmi AP30 is a compact, chemical-free handheld steam cleaner featuring a 900–1050W power output, a boiler pressure of 2.5 to 4.2 bar, and a maximum steam temperature of 135°C for effective surface sterilization. Main characteristics and pros include its rapid 3-to-4-minute heating time, a 30 g/min steam volume, a lightweight 1.7 kg ergonomic frame with IPX4 moisture protection, an aluminum boiler with a safety cap, a 3-meter cord, and a versatile multi-accessory kit containing specialized brushes, spouts, and squeegees. However, its notable cons are a limited 350cc (ml) water tank capacity that yields only about 10 minutes of continuous cleaning autonomy per refill, requiring frequent stops during larger cleaning tasks.
