In order to extend the operating time, this clothes steamer has been equipped with a comparatively large water tank. The tank also serves as its handle and is positioned at an ergonomic angle to facilitate the handling of the device. The on / off button is easy to reach with the thumb. After use, the device can be disassembled: in order to reduce the required space, especially when traveling, the water tank can be removed from the steaming unit via a turn-lock.
