Zelmer ZGS 1700 Perform

Quickly ready to go

The Zelmer brand handheld steamer refers to solutions at the junction of the entry-level and mid-price segments. At the same time, the model is equipped with a powerful heater (1700 W), which will “prepare” steam in 25 seconds after turning on the network. First, you just need to fill the 220 mL tank with water, which has received a removable structure for greater convenience.

Zelmer ZGS 1700 Perform is characterized by thoughtful ergonomics, received a moderately long 2-metre power cord. And the package includes a brush that allows you to combine wrinkle removal with delicate mechanical cleaning. This accessory is recommended for use with thick fabrics, including jackets.

Adjustable power

The model without refueling can work up to 20 minutes, and the intensity of steam supply can reach 30 g / min. In addition, 2 levels of power adjustment are provided: they change by successively pressing the power button. By default, the maximum steam setting is active, suitable for most steam tasks (including removing wrinkles on blouses, shirts and dresses), but less intense steam is also available — for processing delicate fabrics.

Of the additional options, it is worth highlighting automatic shutdown when idle, a clear indication of steam readiness and the selected mode (multi-coloured illumination of the power button). Among the shortcomings, some users note difficulties with installing a water tank: the latch is very rigid and strong pressure is required for the necessary “click”.

Otherwise, the Zelmer ZGS 1700 Perform is an interesting portable steamer with fast heating and an adequate price tag.
