How to choose a garment steamer

How often do you iron?

• Every day — go for an upright garment steamer with a large tank.
• 2–3 times a week — a powerful handheld model will do.
• Once a month or when traveling — a compact handheld steamer is the perfect choice.

What fabrics are in your wardrobe?

• Heavy fabrics (coats, suits, jeans, curtains) — you need a powerful steam flow (30 g/min or more) and a high temperature.
• Delicate fabrics (silk, chiffon, organza) — adjustable modes and a gentle touch are key.
• The fabric type determines whether a compact model will do or you need an upright one.

Planning to take it on trips?

• Yes — choose a foldable handheld steamer weighing up to 800 g: it fits easily in a suitcase and rescues your clothes after a flight.
• No — an upright model takes up some space at home, but it can steam a whole week's wardrobe in one go.
