Novita Garment Steamer SS13 : Pretty in Pink

The second item we purchased after the Philip Avance Air Fryer XL from Tangs was the Novita Garment Steamer SS13.
Novita offers a range of Steamer models from which you may select from. However, we decided on SS13, their oldest model, because I wanted the PINK steamer! :)
The pink steamer is SO CHIO, it makes ironing a more enjoyable chore task!

The SS13 has only two buttons at the back of the steamer: the on/off and the steamer heat button that has only low and high heat to choose from.
The water capacity of1400cc allows continuous ironing for at least 2 hours. IMO, this is more than enough for ironing our clothing every week.
Once set up, the steamer is as tall as I am. At162cm tall, it may be slightly difficult for taller people like Mr Kwek (180cm) to do the ironing. They have to bent down to iron the bottom of the clothing. It was quite comfortable for me although I still have to bent slightly. Oh well, I figure, sitting on a standard chair will solve this problem!
So to test out how effective and user friendly steam irons are, I tried ironing my midi skirt that is made of garbardine rayon blend. I used high heat which the sales lady recommended for all type of material other than silk and chiffon which only require low heat.

The result? I thought it was pretty good! Easy to operate and my skit was steamed to perfection in less than 5 minutes.
Say bye bye to burnt clothing with the traditional irons.

The SS13 is definitely ironing dummy approved! :)

Thanks for sharing your review! I think your steamer works just as fine as the expensive options out there. Really nice and cute color, too!
