Verdict

The Tower THS10 Handheld Steam Cleaner is a 1050W corded portable device equipped with a 250ml water tank, a 3-meter power cord, and a 9-piece accessory kit for multi-surface cleaning. It heats up in 3 minutes, generating a steam pressure of 2.6 to 3.2 bar and temperatures up to 105°C to kill 99.99% of bacteria during its 10 minutes of continuous runtime. Main pros include its lightweight design, rapid heat-up time, chemical-free sanitization, and versatile attachment selection. However, some cons include a slightly low-end finish, minor water dripping when steaming fabrics, a safety button that must be constantly held down to release steam, and the lack of a visible water level indicator.
