Calor completes its laundry care offering with the Access Steam Care steam iron. To deal with stubborn creases, the device has three steam flow rates and an aluminum heating soleplate. It also comes with a vertical ironing board.
With its Access Steam Care, Calor attempts to combine the advantages of a steamer and an iron. The device is quick to use and is very efficient thanks to its three steam flow rates and its vertical ironing board. But, in wanting to offer the best of both worlds, the steamer loses its compactness. Less than a portable device, the Access Steam Care presents itself more as an effective alternative to the imposing steam generator.
Strong points
- Excellent steaming efficiency.
- Three steam flow rates.
- Large capacity tank.
Weak points
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
With the 8000 GC800 Series, Philips has created a high-end garment steamer. The device has a heating plate and two steam flow rates; which gives it very good steaming performance. Its large tank offers great autonomy to this steamer, but we regret that it is not removable. It also loses in ergonomics due to a trigger that is impossible to lock and too few steam nozzles.
