A portable steamer made to a high specification with a number of top quality features. There are over 100,000 in use worldwide today. The Vitesse has a strong but lightweight aluminium body which makes it tough and resistant to knocks but easy to move around. Fitting neatly on the top of the body is a clear plastic water tank which provides between 1 and 3 hours of steam dependant on the power setting you choose. The tank allows you to see easily how much water is left but there is also an automatic cut out should the steamer accidently run dry. Vary the steam output by using a 5-step power switch. The power settings range between 800 watts and 1600 watts. For ultimate performance and comfort, the 1.5m steam hose has an insulated cover and the steam head is fitted with an aluminium faceplate to retain heat and reduce spitting. The pole takes either the steam head or a garment hanger and is 173cm (70 in.) high. Supplied with a 183cm (6ft) long cable and fitted plug. 2.5 litre (4 1/4pt) capacity. Weighs 9.8kg (21 1/2lbs).
