Why iNews named the f1200 a best clothes steamer
Independent reviews carry weight, especially when they come from someone who does the job for a living. In a recent iNews article, a laundry professional with 40 years of experience shared the products she relies on, from detergents to stain removers, and named the Fridja f1200 Clothes Steamer Pro as her best clothes steamer. You can read the full piece on the iNews website.
What stood out was her honesty about ironing. Despite decades in professional laundry, she would rather not iron at home, and found that a vertical steamer handled the job with far less effort. That is a fair reflection of where a steamer fits for most people, so below is a closer look at what the f1200 offers in everyday use.
What makes the f1200 a practical choice
Quick to heat and steady in use
The f1200 Clothes Steamer Pro uses a 2200W heater that is ready in around 35 seconds, so you are not left waiting. A large tank gives extended steaming between refills, which helps when you are working through several items or larger pieces such as curtains and bedding.
Suited to a range of fabrics
Dual steam settings let you adjust the output for the fabric in front of you, from delicate silks to heavier cottons and coats. Because garments stay on the hanger, there is no direct contact and less risk of the stretching or scorching that can come with an iron. That makes it a sensible option before an event, when you want clothes to look tidy without much fuss.
Where a steamer fits into everyday care
A full size steamer suits the bulk of your wardrobe and soft furnishings, but it is not the only tool worth having. For travel and quick touch ups, a compact option like the f10 Handheld Steamer is easier to pack and faster to fill. Once the creases are gone, a quick pass with the f40 Fabric Shaver lifts bobbling and pilling, so knitwear and upholstery look fresher for longer.
Used together, these cover most day to day garment care without reaching for an ironing board. If you want the full set, the garment care trio brings the f10, f40 and f1200 together.
Is the f1200 right for you?
If you steam regularly, care for delicate or formal pieces, or simply want to spend less time ironing, the f1200 is built for steady, repeated use at home and in light commercial settings. A recommendation from someone with 40 years in professional laundry is a helpful signal, but the practical case is straightforward: quick heat up, generous run time and gentle handling across a wide range of fabrics.
