Amazon Cuts Philips 5000 Handheld Steamer to £39.99

The price drop matters to shoppers deciding between bigger irons and portable steamers.

Overview

  • Amazon reduced the Philips 5000 Series Handheld Garment Steamer to £39.99 on Thursday, June 18, 2026, a 43% cut from its usual £69.99 list price.
  • Philips markets the device as ready in about 35 seconds and capable of removing up to 99.9% of bacteria, and the product listing highlights a 120ml tank plus an extra 200ml reservoir and a pointed tip for cuffs and collars.
  • More than 700 Amazon reviewers give the steamer roughly a 4.4 out of 5 average score, with shoppers praising quick wrinkle removal, portability and ease of use for delicate fabrics.
  • Coverage notes limits and alternatives: some users say it is less effective on heavy denim, Currys and Argos still list it at full price, and cheaper or faster models exist such as Dunelm’s £20 steamer and Tefal’s Pure Pop that heats in about 15 seconds.
  • The deal is likely to appeal to busy households and travellers who want a compact, fast option for last-minute touch-ups, but shoppers should compare retailer prices and fabric needs before buying.
