What we look for in clothes steamers
While any clothes steamer is sure to make your cleaning routine (1) more convenient and (2) much quicker, we kept a few considerations in mind when selecting the best products on the market:
- Heat-up time: When using a top-of-the-line clothes steamer, you surely don’t want to wait five years for your trusty handheld to heat up. We kept heat-up time in mind when selecting our tried-and-true favorites.
- Water tank capacity: Surely, the bigger the water tank, the quicker it is to steam your entire laundry basket. We kept this in mind, too, in order to boil down some clothes steamers with the best values and run times.
- Ease of use: With just about any cleaning product, we want it to have a comfortable, sturdy grip. We looked for ergonomic handles and shape, namely.
Pros:
90,000+ positive Amazon reviews, boasts strong and penetrating steam, has a 9 ft. power cord for easy use
Cons:
The handle could be more ergonomic, along with the ‘spout’ of the clothes steamer to heat up more batches of clothing
When on a budget, you certainly don’t want to compromise value — and that’s exactly where the Hilife Portable Handheld Steamer comes into play. It’s one of the most compact and *truly* portable options out there, and you can’t beat the $30 price ticket.
Pros:
A model we’ve been using for years, has an ergonomic handle, has a turbo steam feature to quickly iron out wrinkles
Cons:
None to speak of
Since our dorm days at college, we’ve been using the Rowenta X-Cel Powerful Handheld Fabric Steamer (and yes, it’s powerful!) It takes about a minute to fully heat up and the amount of steam it generates is truly impressive. Plus, the water tank is simple to use and refill.
Pros:
Features five steam settings, has a large ‘spout’ to produce and expat much steam, has an ergonomic handle to grip
Cons:
The water tank could be larger
The Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Handheld Fabric Steamer is one of our top picks, namely for its ability to —quite instantly — smooth out wrinkles. It heats up in 40 seconds, has a water tank that lasts for 15 minutes of continuous steam and an easy-to-use design.
Pros:
One of the best for traveling, has a minimal and easy-to-use design, heats up in only 30 minutes
Cons:
Isn’t the best for loads upon loads of laundry
Finally, a clothes steamer designed for travel. For less than $25 right now, the Beautural Foldable Handheld Wrinkle-Removing Clothes Steamer is one we have in our Amazon carts ahead of this year’s travels. Whether you put in in your luggage or your carry-on, it’s perfect for the job.
Pros:
Affordable price point, well-designed for targeted steaming, has an ergonomic handle, leak-proof
Cons:
Doesn’t heat up as fast as other models
Quickly pick up the PurSteam Handheld Clothes Steamer if you just want something that’ll do the job in a well-designed way. Notably, this model boasts a leak-proof design and an ultra-ergonomic handle, though it doesn’t heat up in seconds like some other models. Nevertheless, it’s still a quality household product to add to your cart.
