A hand steamer and a steam iron do different work. Specify the one the guest is actually expected to use.
Glide Hand Steamer for hanging garments
Glide Hand Steamer (GLST2601) is for light creases on hanging garments. Stainless steel steam head, detachable 260 ml tank, heat-up in 30 seconds or less, variable steam of 15-25 g/min, auto shut-off, a 2 metre cord, plus a steam brush and a hair brush. It is 220-240 V. Warranty is 3 years. Typical lead time is 8 to 10 weeks. It does not replace a board iron. There is no soleplate and no full press.
Xpress irons for a board
Xpress steam irons are for guests who iron on a board: the 2200 W Xpress and the 2400 W Xpress Plus, both black, at 220-240 V. Xpress Dry Iron (EXID4100) is the no-water option: 1000 W, non-stick soleplate, auto shut-off, BS plug, 1.8 m cord, 3 year warranty. Pair a dry or steam iron with a Roomwell board and holder.
When to issue one, or both
Use Glide alone in rooms where hanging touch-ups are enough, and where you do not want an ironing board. Use an Xpress iron where the brand still offers full pressing. Many suites issue both. Do not install Glide, or any of these irons, on a US 110 V or 120 V circuit.
