BEAUTURAL Steamer for Clothes, Portable Handheld Garment Fabric Wrinkles Remover, 30-Second Fast Heat-up, Auto-Off, Large Detachable Water Tank

Product Information

There's one major downside to this steamer, and that's its size. The unit is about 1 foot tall and weighs over 3 pounds, making it one of the largest options on this list. It wouldn't be good for frequent fliers who only travel with a carry-on, but we think it would come in handy at weddings or other special events, in particular.

Using the Beautural handheld garment steamer was nothing like we’d expected. For a product in this price range, I – personally – had preconceptions about it being somewhat shoddy when it came to its primary application; this was not the case at all, though. Key specs – Type: Handheld; Dimensions: 22 x 12.7 x 10.5cm (HWD) Weight: 1.28kg; Tank capacity: 120ml; Heat-up time: 15secs; Continuous steam: No Setup is straightforward and it’s easy to use: the steamer heats up in just 35 seconds and immediately sets to work with a surprisingly powerful jet of steam at its highest setting (there are three fabric modes to choose from). The steam plate’s ceramic coating can also easily withstand repeated use on buttons, zips and other features, which have a tendency to result in scratches. Beautural’s steamers are not designed to be used by children. Parents who chose to teach their tweens and teens to use the steamer should supervise the activity to prevent any accidental burns, as the steam is quite hot.The last thing you want on your wedding day is to accidentally scorch your wedding dress—which is why we recommend the Conair Turbo Extreme Steam for delicate items. This steamer comes with a unique "delicates bonnet" attachment that helps to diffuse the steam, yet it doesn't hamper the unit's effectiveness. It was able to remove wrinkles from fabric in just a few passes in our testing, and we were impressed that it heated up in less than a minute, as well. Steaming is the modern way to enjoy fresh, crease-free clothes. Garment steamers heat up in seconds and are easy to use, including on soft furnishings like sheets and curtains. Most offer a range of settings so you can adapt the power to your fabric and avoid any damage. Best of all, there’s no need to faff around with an ironing board!

Included accessories such as travel bags and folding hangers can also be useful, particularly if you're looking for a handheld steamer to take travelling. For a device which cost us less than a pair of emoji slippers (sadly a real thing!), we were immediately surprised at how well-built it felt to hold. As well as the steamer itself, there’s also a couple of brushes (one for fabrics, and one for lint), and also a handy instruction manual. It’s worth considering your needs and the energy usage of your clothes steamer prior to purchasing. If you plan to use your steamer for a couple of items, then a light energy, handheld device will do just fine. This travel steamer takes about a minute to heat up, and there's a large window that lets you see into the water tank to monitor how much is left. The top of the unit twists off when you need more water, and we had no issues filling the water tank from the faucet. The steamer is slightly bulkier than other models we tested, but it's still compact enough to fit in a carry-on or another suitcase.Look for a large water tank if you’ve got a big pile of clothes to plough through, as it will ensure you don’t have to keep stopping and refilling. I like [a steamer] that has a decent amount of continuous run time—10 minutes, at least—so that you don't have to stop and refill several times," says Melissa Maker of Clean My Space. Our "best for heavy materials," the MagicPro Portable Garment Steamer, has a 15-minute steam time, which could allow you to easily steam a longer dress or multiple T-shirts. While travel steamers sometimes sacrifice steam time due to their small sizes and thus smaller water tanks, all of the models in our roundup have steam times just under or slightly over 10 minutes.

Most steamers require you to hang your garment for steaming. If you’re traveling and you don’t have a clothing rod handy, you can hang the item from the bathroom shower rod or from the doorknob on your hotel room door. When using your steamer, you’ll need to hold the unit a few inches away from delicate fabrics, like silk, velvet and chiffon. You also want to make sure you don’t keep the steam over one area for an extended period of time. Additionally, the power cord can rotate in a complete circle, which makes twisting and turning the device significantly easier. Our Experiences If you plan on using your clothes steamer for one-off occasions or touch-ups, a smaller tank will suffice, ideally with a transparent casing so you know when to refill it. Start steaming your garment at the top and work your way downward. You can place the steamer right up against the garment if it has a heavier fabric that isn’t classified as delicate. Move an inch or two away from the fabric when you come to any areas that have embellishments.

Each of the Beautural steamers is also designed to be leak-proof, so you can use them vertically or horizontally without worrying about any water spilling out. Another common feature shared between the two units is the automatic shut-off. For safety, the steamers will power off after they have remained idle for a total of 8 minutes.
