Top 5 Best Garment Steamer | 2017 Reviews

One of the problems we have when it comes to ironing our clothes is that it just can’t seem to be ironed out straight. Creases still remain and it's frustrating when you keep turning up the knob to increase the heat. Sometimes, you end up screaming your head out because the strong heat ended up melting the fabric. That's just totally the worst. You may have the option of getting a water spray and constantly switch spraying and ironing. You just don't have time for that. That's simply the reason why garment steamers really rock.

URPOWER Portable Garment Steamer

URPOWER Portable Garment Steamer

You will definitely need a portable steamer in your house. This percolator looking thing that you will buy on Amazon is nothing short of amazing. We really love this tiny hand steamer because it really does a great job at steaming garments. This garments steamer really focuses on the main function of ironing out your clothes without the use of an iron or an iron stand and is built to completely save up on space. All you need is a hanger and you’re wrinkled up clothing, and you're off! Just steam straightens out your clothes and you're done! In less than three minutes, you can get nicely ironed clothes. And that's exactly what we really need from a portable garment steamer.

Its wide flat nozzle tip puff out dry steam to effectively sanitize your clothes at the same time, releasing the creases and wrinkles on your clothes.

We really love that even if it's small; it works better than typical garment steamer. This uses quick-action heating and steaming that can penetrate really fluffy and heavy materials, it can even dry clean and sanitize your baby's plushes but still gentle enough to iron out sensitive mesh, chiffon, and satin on your wedding dress.

It is also very handy because it has a safety feature that automatically shuts down when the water level is too low. It also doesn't sputter boiling hot water but instead, just limits steaming when the water level is already getting far too low. The entire body cast is heat protected so that your hand won't burn while using this steamer for clothes. It also has a heat sensor that prevents it from overheating, so that is a big plus for us! The only problem with The UrPower fabric steamer is that it is not ideal for long usage like steaming an entire laundry basket full of clothes all at once. It is made for quick and emergency use only that’s' why it is the best travel steamer.

Its portability and great quick feature use make this our third favorite steamer for clothing in the bunch!

The Pursteam Fabric Steamer can penetrate heavy fabric and relaxes its fibers to leave your clothes softened up without the use of a fabric conditioner.

J-2000 Jiffy Garment Steamer

J-2000 Jiffy Garment Steamer

This is another awesome item in our list of the best steamers for clothing in the market. One thing that makes this stand out is that it doesn't just work well at home but it is also a professional clothing steamer. This commercial garment steamer is very durable and very versatile that you will love having it in your dry cleaners and even your home.

It has a long steaming time per filling which runs up to 90 minutes. It doesn't take long for the water to heat up either because, in 60 seconds, you are good to go; just fill up the tank and go back to steaming. Owning a laundry shop or dry cleaners would need the Jiffy Steamer J2000. This works so well in light professional steamer functions. It can easily release wrinkles, steam beddings and disinfects sheets and other linen. But one thing that this steam cleaner for clothing works really well with is removing wallpaper too.

Wallpaper glue is really tough and resilient and you would need more than a week’s worth of scrubbing in order to take it out. Once molds and rips and discoloration hit your wallpaper, you know you need to change it ASAP before it gets worse. The Jiffy Steamer J2000 can really help meltdown that glue and easily tear the wallpaper off your wall. Less hassle, less clean-up and less time-consuming. Just steam the edges up or down first and leave the steam on one side for about 5 minutes.

This steamer for clothes has a no-drip check valve system that assures you that the hose and the water tank holding up to a ¾ gallon of water won't leak. In using the Jiffy steamer, it is most preferred that you use distilled water over tap water. That's because sink water has minerals in it and steaming will separate those minerals off the water and that mineral will deposit on the steamer holes. It clogs up the holes and may end up squirting water instead of steaming it.

For those reasons, this ranks as the fifth for the best garments steamer!
