Guests expect convenience, even when it comes to looking their best. To meet this need, Roootz is introducing a new garment steamer to its hotel range: the VAPO. Available from this month, the compact steamer offers hotels a practical and cost-effective way to provide guests with an easy clothing-care solution in their rooms.
A practical addition to the hotel room
Hotel rooms are becoming increasingly multifunctional, while space remains a key consideration. The VAPO has been designed with this in mind. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to store in a wardrobe or other small space, while allowing guests to quickly remove wrinkles from their clothes.
Unlike traditional ironing, steaming can be done directly on a garment hanger. Guests do not need to set up an ironing board, making the process quick and convenient — particularly when preparing for a business meeting, dinner or special occasion.
The VAPO reaches operating temperature in approximately 30 seconds and delivers 28 grams of steam per minute. With 1,500 watts of power, a 300 ml water tank and a 3-metre power cord, it combines compact dimensions with the performance expected from a professional hotel-room appliance.
Designed with hotel budgets in mind
For hotels, adding in-room amenities always involves a balance between guest experience, available space and investment. The VAPO addresses all three.
Its compact design makes it suitable for a wide range of hotel rooms, while its attractive price point makes it an accessible option for properties looking to add garment care as an in-room amenity.
The VAPO can also be paired with the Roootz MINI tabletop ironing board for hotels that want to create a compact ironing setup without dedicating significant space to it.
Two garment-care solutions within the Roootz range
The arrival of the VAPO does not replace the existing Roootz SMOOTH. Instead, the two products give hotels the opportunity to choose the solution that best matches their requirements.
The VAPO is focused on compactness, simplicity and easy steaming. It is particularly suitable for hotels where space and budget are important considerations.
The SMOOTH, meanwhile, offers a more comprehensive 2-in-1 solution, combining a garment steamer with a traditional iron. It can be used both vertically and horizontally and includes features such as a 330 ml water tank, anti-scale function, self-cleaning system and automatic shut-off.
This makes the two products complementary rather than competing solutions:
VAPO
A compact and accessible garment steamer for hotels looking for a simple in-room solution.
SMOOTH
A multifunctional 2-in-1 appliance for hotels that want to offer both steaming and traditional ironing.
A small amenity with a practical benefit
Garment care may be a relatively small detail within the overall hotel experience, but it can make a meaningful difference to guests. A compact steamer gives travellers the option to quickly freshen up their clothing without having to request equipment from reception or search for a local laundry or ironing service.
With the launch of the VAPO, Roootz is giving hotels another way to provide this convenience while keeping the equipment compact and the investment attractive.
The Roootz VAPO is available from this month.
