About this product
Forget endless back-and-forth over stubborn creases. The Russell Hobbs Steam Genie VacuSteam 28550 Garment Steamer combines steam, suction and heat to smooth wrinkles in one pass, making it your quick-fix for perfectly pressed clothes without fuss. Ready in 35 seconds, this handheld steamer delivers 24g of steam per minute from its 1500W element, working with a heated ceramic press plate to freshen garments while they hang. The 200ml detachable water tank provides 7 minutes of continuous steaming, perfect for touching up a full outfit before you head out.
What makes this steamer different is its unique VacuSteam Technology, where steam, suction and heat join forces to banish creases in one sweep. With 3 settings for different fabrics, it's safe for delicates and powerful enough for everyday cottons. The vertical steam function lets you freshen hanging garments without taking them down, while the 3m power cable gives you freedom to move around. It comes with a cleaning brush to keep it in top condition, and the auto shut-off feature adds peace of mind. With a 2-year guarantee, it's built to tackle your crease-smoothing needs day after day.

Customers Say
Russell Hobbs Steam Genie is a powerful, easy-to-use handheld steamer with a vacuum feature that removes creases quickly. Lightweight and portable, ideal for quick touch-ups but heavier and noisier than expected.

Great quality and fast shipping
I recently purchased a Russle Hobbs steam Genie from Argos. Works perfectly, exactly what I needed. I am very happy with my choice

Steamer with a really useful suction feature
I bought this after reviewing steamer devices on the internet and thinking that the vacuum feature sounded really useful. I wasn't disappointed. My first task was to remove creases from some curtains that had been tightly bound for dispatch. The VacuSteam removed the creases very easily, the suction pulling the curtains in towards the surface of the iron. In that application I was helped by the weight of the hanging curtains, so I could iron single-handedly. Lighter items such as shirts need to be hung up and one hand is needed to feed the material in correctly.

Worth the money
So happy to have this steamer. For me, it doesn’t replace a traditional iron, however for wardrobe creases and freshen ups it’s great. The vacuum option is fantastic along with plenty of steam. It’s noisy, not excessive, but something to be aware of if you feel like a quick steam at midnight!! It’s high end pricewise but definitely worth it. Enjoy. 🌸

Game changer!
Works so well. Even for cotton and linen items with heavy creasing. This is going to change everything.

Versatile and easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item is easy to store. easy to use, a little noiser than expected as it suctions the material in to steam which is very effective! it’s great value for money and i’d highly reccomend this!

Not worth the cost.
Great item. I bought this for my son. He said it was perfect for his work uniforms. I was disappointed when I went back two days later to get one for myself. The price was up by £18.00. The special had ended. I couldn't justify buying it for £89.00.

Fast & easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was fantastic, it ironed my stuff perfect and the suction was great. It kept my clothes clean and on every bit of different fabric. The long wire is great as I can move around easily

Hello Penfriend.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Russell Hobbs Steam Genie VacuSteam 28550 Garment Steamer.
According to the user manual instructions, you should always check the garment’s care label before steaming and test fabrics for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area. Steamers are not recommended for use on leather, suede, vinyl, plastic, or other materials that are sensitive to steam.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello SueO.
Russell Hobbs Steam Genie VacuSteam 28550 Garment Steamer:
Yes, it can be used on duvet covers and bedding and is great for refreshing, deodorising, and removing light creases. However, it’s not ideal for heavily wrinkled bedding or as a full replacement for ironing.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi Shrubs,
Russell Hobbs Steam Genie VacuSteam 28550 Garment Steamer 776/3443
This item is a steamer for getting creases out of clothes/fabrics like an iron would and does not clean items.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hey Spannerman,
I can advise that you cannot put fragrance water into the steamer, it is designed for use with water only. Russell Hobbs also have the Steam Genie Aroma - which has a scent diffuser.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello iwantaclothessteamer,
Re: Russell Hobbs Steam Genie VacuSteam 28550 Garment Steamer
