Tefal Care for You YT3040

Amazing. Simple to use. I highly recommend. It is a time saver and my clothes look fresh.

Opening the package, I struggled to remove the inner box, ended up emptying it to do so but was wow-ed by the finitions and sturdiness. I was already playing with the unit and accessories before reading the instructions. It is so straightforward that most steps can be figured out but keeping the instructions nearby can come in handy, especially before selecting sanitization (although there aren't many care labels that the unit is not compatible with). The steam option worked great on my shirts (no more creases!!) and the sanitization option proved downright amazing for my jumpers - no longer smelling like a hotpot of scents. So far, the unit has managed to steam and/or sanitize various types of shirts, a wool blend jacket, wool jumpers including cashmere jumper and, very importantly, my cat's plushies! When not in use, I tend to use it as storage. Always ensure that, when in use, there is enough room around the unit & the room is ventilated. No more ironing for me, happy days!

The product is large in size but is compact and can be stored easily which is a positive and it’s doesn’t take up too much space. I was excited to test out the product and I was disappointed as the results from all 3 features didn’t overwhelm me. Although the product had 3 functions to it from steaming to sanitising. It’s a great idea the product but needs finessing I.e having the ability to put freshener in the sanitise function.

I was really excited to test this product as I hate ironing! The Tefal Care For You is a big piece of kit, it does shrink down a bit for storage but it is still sizeable. It is fairly heave but certainly seems to be well made and solid. Performance wise the results were mixed. I tried several different types of clothes on different settings with very mixed results. Shirts - the Care For You performed surprisingly well and much better than my expectations. Setting the shirts up (buttoning it up, placing weights on each sleeve and the bottom) is a bit of a faff and it can only do 2 at a time but the results were good. Trousers - quicker to set up but you can only do one pair at a time (with 2 shirts or t-shirts if needed), however the results were mixed and probably need to be ‘properly’ ironed before wearing. T-shirts and jumpers - performed poorly and barely improved the creases at all, it actually stretched my clothes due to the weights. Better than expected but not as good as hoped.

Absolutely amazing! When I received the product the size of the packaging was slightly daunting! However there is o need to worry as Tefal have managed to make this product easy to put away and store. Plus the product is not nearly as big as the box leads you to believe. Easy to set up with great instructions. The remote is q bonus, and it contains all the accessories you would need to use the product to its full benefit. I used this product for my work uniform and it performed amazingly. It was so nice not having to wash, dry, and iron my uniform, I popped it in my care for you and was rewarded with fresh uniform in a flash. It also worked great to refresh my babies toys and duvet and pillow. 5 stars from me!

A little bulky, but definitely worth it. And besides, you soon forget its there once you find the perfect place in your house for it. I thought I would chiefly use it as part of my weekly clothes wash cycle, and even though its great as part of that, it's really handy for just popping your suit in to sanitise after your working day. Extra sanitising confidence, if like me you travel on the tube, with all the germs and dust that entails. Great for refreshing items that sit in your wardrobe for six months a year too! Worth taking the tine to familiarising yourself with all the features, but very user friendly to get started on quickly.

The unboxing was a little tricky, but worth the wait! I have difficulties using a traditional iron as I have mobility issues, so this machine is fantastic. It is very easy to use and provides better results than a handheld garment steamer I have. So far, I have used the Care For You to freshen up a suit, steam shirts and trousers, and sanitise my child's comforter. I have been very pleased with the results. I have just read that I am able to clean my pillows, so those are next on the list. The only negatives are the amount of space the Care For You takes up. However, my house is rather small, with little storage space. Also, the clips for holding trousers are a little fiddly, but this may be due to my mobility issues. Overall, I am delighted with the Care For You and would definitely recommend it!

When I received the item, I was shocked at how large and heavy the unit was. Even when everything stored away it does take up a lot of room. Luckily, I had the space. The first time I used it I tried to steam a shirt, a delicate top, and pair of trousers. First off, the unit it quite noisy at points in its cycle. But, as it was on the landing it wasn't really an issue. Once the cycle was finished, the items on the edge were decreased. However, I had to redo the shirt in the middle. When the shirt was on its own in the unit, it decreased it perfectly. I also sanitised some pillows and soft toys. Each time it worked great - and it is handy for drying delicate items. Overall, it works great. My only issue is it takes up a lot of space when it can only do a couple of items at any time. With the rising prices in energy bills, it's an expensive item (if convenient) item.

This product is outstanding, with a number of uses. The sanitise function brings my suits to perfection, meaning I no longer have to take weekly trips to the dry cleaners. The Care for You can accommodate any types of fabric, making it perfect for anything unsuitable for washing machines, such as coats and ties. The steam function is also invaluable, straightening even the most creased of garments better than any iron possibly could. I find this particularly useful for my ties, which do not iron well. The drying function is also incredibly useful for any items I don't feel comfortable putting in the tumble dryer. Furthermore, the unit is neat and attractive, and the remote control couldn't be simpler. Incredibly impressed and happy with this machine.

The TEFAL Care for You is very easy to set-up with a QR code on the box linking to a video explaining how to unbox the product and get started. There is a video available explaining how to use the product along with written instructions which are clear. The steamer was well packaged so it arrived without any issues. The collapsible design allows for easy storage when not in use. It is very quiet when in use and very little steam leaks from the device. It can fit several items of clothing and the included straighteners are great. The controller allows for easy operation (and comes with batteries included). The holder for the controller and straighteners is also a nice touch so it all neatly stays together and nothing gets lost! I can put an item in the steamer in the morning and let it do its thing whilst I get ready and use the item immediately after it is finished in 10 minutes or so. Overall this is a great product for those who regularly need to steam, dry or sanitise clothes.

Workshirts less crinkled, clamps bit hard to open first use,PE kit was sanitised, sweaty armpits all fresh along with Daughter's cuddly toy + pets stuff (in separate runs) not that noisy but condensation could prove a problem in smaller rooms.

I genuinely had no expectations when I received this but am so pleased with how it performs every time! As a busy guy going to the office most days I was looking to not have to iron t shirts and shirts anymore but look smart still. This brilliant piece of genius gives me fresh tidy clothes each time I use it to prepare my items. I can quickly dry clothes when I need to in a short time which is super handy. Even if the clothes are dried bit creased this takes care of that no problem. Freshening up my pillows, cushions and coats has been a cinch. The machine requires little intervention, just use the buttons to select your choice of 3 programs, adjust the time if you want and press start. All you have to do is sit and wait but the best thing is that you hardly have to wait any time at all before it's finished! Amazing! Really is magic as it's quiet in operation, doesn't take up too much storage space and is the easiest thing to operate. It's changed my routines, giving me free time back!

I absolutely love the Care For You. I normally take clothes to the dry cleaners weekly and I never imagined it any other way until now. I found it so easy to set up and use as it has clear precise instructions. It has four wheels for easy mobility, it’s compact for storing and it is remarkably quiet when in use. I was in a rush when I first gave it a try, I had trousers and a delicate blouse to wear to work, they were clean but quite wrinkly so I tried the 10 minute steam function whilst I went and got ready. I wasn’t sure what to expect but on opening I was so impressed, my outfit was perfect, totally crease free and looked like new. It was a stress free process and so convenient. I continued using Care for you to dry, steam and sanitise clothing, bedding and cushion covers all with perfect results each time. I honestly couldn’t live without it as it has really revolutionised my life, no more dry cleaners for me. I can relax at home and let Care For You take care of my clothing.

On first sight I genuinely could think of no circumstance where I would use this item in day to day life. Then I used it and everything changed. Ironing has never been something i was either good at or keen to do, so the crease removal feature of this device was a clear place to start. Does it do it? Yes it certainly does. Hang the items up, put the weight clips on larger more creased items, shut it up, pop some water in and let it get on with it. In the time it takes to have a coffee its done. For me it will reverse the way I deal with creases. I used to iron items then hang them up ready to wear. Now I hang them up creased and simply use the 'care for you' on the whole outfit prior to popping it on. Simple and easy. If this wasn't enough and believe me it is, there are also the deodorising and drying features which add value too. Space prohibits more detail than to say, these features work well ands will be used less often, but are still very handy. How did i ever manage without one!

This product is great for all clothing but particularly for suits and shirts, it cleans hygienically and removes creases well, i like that it can be collapsed and folded away when not in use, 10/10 from me.
