Tefal launches new IXEO Power all-in-one steamer station

After debuting the original IXEO All-In-One in 2019, Tefal has launched its newest combination steaming solution, the IXEO Power, created to replace a garment steamer, a steam generator, and an iron and ironing board. 

The Tefal IXEO Power was designed with efficiency in mind, producing an output comparable to that of a boiler steam generator. It can also heat up in just 70 seconds.

It comes with an adjustable Smart Board, which has several different built-in positions. The steam head is half the weight of a traditional steam iron, and the removable water tank can hold up to a litre of water. This main unit and steam head can also be detached from the rest of the system, for maximum portability and ease of use.

The base is set on wheels, meaning that the steamer can be transported around to wherever you need it, or be stored away until you need it next. Accessories include a steam-brush, designed for thick fabrics, and clips to fasten your garments to the built-in board. 

IXEO Power also features Smart Protect technology, created to ensure that the temperature is adapted suit all garments – even the most delicate pieces, like silk – without the need to manually adjust any settings.

And with home hygiene at the forefront of everyone’s mind right now, the IXEO Power was designed for increased manoeuvrability so that you can steam and sanitise all around the house. Upholstery, curtains and even bed linen are ideal candidates for steaming, as the power of steam kills up to 99.9% of bacteria.

Five appliances you (or more accurately, I) didn’t know existed

I live in a little bubble. It’s warm and cosy. There is a PlayStation in it, and a TV, and a laptop. I have a frying pan as well, a toaster and a kettle… I could go on, but you get the point. I have all the basics required to live a rather simple but entertaining life. Then an esteemed colleague of mine started this blog, Appliance Addict, and my mind was progressively blown as weird objects trying to pretend to be appliances landed in our apartment.

To be fair, they are actually appliances, they’re not just moonlighting. Which would be pretty odd – an inanimate object moonlighting as an electrical appliance. The news media would be all over that on a slow news day. It was more my appliance innocence, not realising that a) half of these tasks could be done at all, let alone with a specific appliance and b) anyone actually needed to do these tasks.
