DESCRIPTION
CONSTRUCTION
Weâre looking at a steamer with a metal iron. Let us note at once that the accessories hanger, nozzles are very similar to those of another participant of our test. But the tests showed that the devices work differently, so you canât call them âtwins.
Assembly is the same as with all steamers. Iâm a pro now, but this steamer is easy to assemble, even for a beginner. Everything is easy enough to install and secure. Added convenience: long cord, which allows the steamer to be operated away from the socket.
The wheels are big enough, in addition to them, there is a small front swivel wheel. With all this, the steamer is easy to move around the room.
Design of the body is bright enough due to the metallic red color â red looks solid and stylish.
Very many accessories. In addition to the standard set, there is a nozzle for cleaning clothes or furniture upholstery, for horizontal ironing a small iron is attached, which can be connected instead of the steamer nozzle.
It comes with cleaning attachments, their use extends the functionality, making it a 2-in-1 appliance: you can iron and clean the carpet as well. And if you also consider the presence of a large iron, then in the â3-in-1â: steamer, steam generator and steam station.
CONTROL
On the body is only a power button, and on the iron itself â steam button, heat indicator and steam indicator. In addition, the iron has a regulator steam power from min to max. No mode like other models. No need to bend over while ironing, just adjust the power on the nozzle. The rubberized power button is not like the other models in the test: it doesnât switch modes, it just turns on the power.
When steam is flowing continuously, the indicator light goes out when you press the button, the steam stops flowing and the indicator light comes on.
The model is equipped with a serious safety system. The thermostat switches off power when the tank runs out of water, and the overheat fuse is triggered if the thermostat is damaged.
OPERATION
The steamer copes with its responsibilities well. Steam is blowing smoothly, no water droplets even when you turn it on for the first time. I press the steam button, and the result is visible at a momentâs notice â you donât have to wait a second for the steam to come on or stop after you turn it off. There is no indication in the instructions that this iron can be ironed on horizontal surfaces, besides there is a separate iron in the kit for that purpose.
The steam tube is very handy, thatâs why itâs easy to hold the nozzle and use it for ironing things hanging on the hangers.
the instructions for the steamer has no recommendations for fabrics: exactly what kind of ironing. And since the temperature mode is the same, only the steam power varies, you need to be careful with delicate garments when steaming for the first time. I tried ironing a frilly dress made of a thin fabric. I was able to give the flounces a fresher look and âfluffâ them up, but the fabric itself became noticeably damp.
There is a detailed story with pictures of the rules of ironing, and explained how to iron the arrows on pants. This is sure to help with the first steaming experience.
THE CARE
Use specially prepared demineralized water. Recommended once a month or after the use of 20 liters of water to rinse the drain valve and remove limescale with a metal wire. In addition, you should wash the filter and water tank.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
Thanks to its many accessories, it is the most versatile appliance on the market and can be used for three different tasks: steam cleaning, steaming clothes, ironing. This is a plus, of course. But the price of this steamer is such that a large number of functions are justified.
I like the clear responsiveness of the steam button, the maneuverability of the device and the long wires.
Multifunctionality, clear controls, a large number of accessories.
Only one temperature mode on the steamer.
Is the Grand Master GM-Q7 multifunction steamer-cleaner easy to use and effective in cleaning various surfaces?
