I have been given a 'handheld' clothes steamer and think it is good, but want to know what others think about these? Ideally if someone has one like mine it would be great to know what they think. It is called a Propress MINI. Thanks!

Sorry I forgot to mention, it is relevant to MSE as apparently it saves electricity (with a faster heat up time, and faster time to complete the ironing) and cost by not having to do as many wash loads and trips to the dry cleaners for suits, dresses and jackets. Also it can be used on curtains. So quite a few money saving areas.

and if you want to see the MINI - it's here: https://www.propress.co.uk/steamers/mini-handheld-steamer
I'm not sure if you are allowed to add a link in here, but thought it was helpful

Can't see the point in these.

If it gets all the creases out and you proceed to wear it, haven't you just wasted your time?  Or am I missing something?

My partner who works in fashion uses them. They’re quick and easy compared to using an iron, they work with delicate non-iron items and the steam can help kill germs. 

Personally I can’t comment on your particular model
but I’ve just bought one from Lidls under the brand name Beldray multi steam pro and it’s been excellent so far.
