Phillips 5000 hand held steamer
This steamer has a quick heat up time and 2 sizes for water refills. Can be used verticle and horizontal and does not burn clothes. It is really good having the large glove and heat mat included with it.

Nice little steamer
Love how it all fits away in the glove for travel. Doesn’t take up much space and it’s handy having the 2 different size water containers. Very happy with this purchase

Quick, Easy and Convenient
Its easy to use and heats up quickly. It does a good job removing wrinkles from clothes without needing an ironing board (Yeah!!!). Also like that it is compact and easy to store. A convenient steamer and a good alternative to traditional ironing.

Small and compact great for use in a caravan
Absolutely love the ease of it, having both the steamer and the versatility to use as an iron is great, highly recommend.

easy to use
I had a Tefal steamer previously and it was difficult to hold comfortably and it always spat water out of it, this one is lovely to hold, very comfortable, doesn't spit water out, I bought it to steam my young neighbours ball gown and it did a terrific job on all the layers of ruffles that the frock had! It was a nightmare dress but the steamer made it easy to get it looking good instead of the crumpled mess it started as.

Great design
I'm used to an iron, so this will take a bit of getting used to. But it seems like a good product, handy with 2x sizes of water chambers. For heavier fabrics and a stronger press, I will probably still use an iron.

Excellent Steamer
This steamer looks great and works well, the angled tip gets into where it needs to go. The accessories were a lovely bonus. Definitely won't be pulling out the ironing board very often now! I'll be taking it on an upcoming cruise to keep my outfits looking good

At a glance
The Philips 5000 Series Handheld Garment Steamer is a convenient everyday steamer for quick touch-ups on shirts, dresses and delicate fabrics. It suits busy households, apartment living and light travel thanks to its 35-second heat-up, adjustable head and no-ironing-board use. Its key strengths are ease of use and flexibility, but the small tank means it is better for quick refreshes than large weekly steaming sessions.
What it’s great for
- Quick garment touch-ups
- Delicate fabric steaming
- Everyday wrinkle removal
- Travel-friendly clothing care
- Last-minute outfit refreshes
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Family homes
- Bedrooms
- Laundry areas
- Holiday accommodation
Who it’s for
- Busy professionals
- Frequent travellers
- Students
- Apartment dwellers
- Everyday households
Things to consider
Its 120 mL onboard tank is convenient for short sessions, but it is less suited to steaming multiple large garments in one go than larger garment steamers or full steam stations.
Travel friendliness
Good - compact handheld design with adjustable head makes it easier to pack than a full-size garment steamer
Allergy friendliness
Basic - suitable for refreshing garments with steam, but not positioned as a specialist sanitising or allergy-focused model
Quick refresh suitability
9/10 - fast 35-second heat-up and handheld format make it well suited to last-minute wrinkle removal
Ease of use rating
9/10 - simple plug-and-play operation, no ironing board needed, and vertical or horizontal steaming adds flexibility
Noise level vs category average
About average - expected handheld pump and steam noise, with no evidence of unusually quiet operation
Key benefits
- 35-second heat-up: gets you steaming quickly for fast outfit touch-ups before work or events.
- 24 g/min continuous steam: provides steady steam output to smooth everyday wrinkles with less repeated passes.
- Vertical and horizontal steaming: lets you steam clothes on a hanger or flat on a bed or bench to suit different fabrics and garments.
- Pointed steam plate tip: helps reach around buttons, collars, seams and other tricky areas more easily.
- Safe for all ironable fabrics: gives extra confidence when refreshing delicate or mixed-fabric clothing.
- Adjustable tilting head: improves comfort during use and makes the steamer easier to pack away or take on trips.
- 120 mL water tank plus extra 200 mL tank: gives flexible capacity for either lighter touch-ups or longer steaming sessions.
- 2 m power cord: gives better reach around hanging garments without needing to stand right next to the power point.
Q: Can this handheld steamer replace an iron for work shirts?
A: No. Philips 5000 Series Handheld Garment Steamer is better for removing everyday wrinkles than creating a crisp pressed finish. It suits shirts, dresses and quick refreshes, but an iron is still the better tool for sharp creases and heavier fabrics.
Q: Is the water tank big enough for multiple garments?
A: Yes, for short to moderate sessions. It includes a 120mL tank and an extra 200mL tank, which gives flexibility for a few garments, but this handheld design still suits touch-ups better than steaming a full week's laundry in one go.
Q: Will it steam thick fabrics like linen or suit jackets?
A: Yes, for light to moderate creasing. Philips 5000 Series Handheld Garment Steamer has 24 g/min continuous steam and a pointed tip for collars and seams, but thicker fabrics or a stronger pressed look may still need an iron.
Q: Does it need an ironing board to work properly?
A: No. Philips 5000 Series Handheld Garment Steamer can be used vertically on a hanger or horizontally on a flat surface, so a full ironing board is not required. A flat surface can still help when you want more control on tricky areas.
Q: Is this steamer practical for travel, cruises or a caravan?
A: Yes. The handheld design folds down with an adjustable head, which makes it easier to pack than a full-size garment steamer. It still uses a 2m power cord, so it suits travel where a power point is available rather than cordless use.
