Steamers are a special type of household appliances designed for vertical ironing of clothes and linen. Very often they are classified as irons, however, both conceptually and purely conceptually, these are different things that can complement, but not replace each other. The fact is that the "element" of steamers is the care of delicate fabrics, knitwear and fur products, while irons are used for a wider range of textile materials. In addition, the steamer is simply indispensable for women's blouses and suits, decorated with numerous ruffles, ruffles, rhinestones or other decorative elements.
Popular manufacturers of steamers
At the moment, there are several worthy manufacturers on the market offering really high-quality hand-held and floor-standing garment steamers.
MIE. One of the brightest brands in the Russian market of ironing equipment. The manufacturer offers both manual and floor steamers for home and professional use. A distinctive feature of the brand is functionality and convenience. Minus - it produces quite expensive premium products.
Runzel. The Swedish brand boasts a huge range of different types of steamers and a wide price range. In the catalog of the company, each buyer will find a suitable model for himself. The disadvantages could be attributed to production in China, but this did not affect the quality of the steamers.
grand master. Russian brand specializing in the production of ironing and cleaning equipment. The main plus is a wide price range. In the range you can find models for home or professional use.
Also in stores you can find models of well-known, but not specialized brands. A good choice of steamers is offered by Kitfort, Tefal, Philips.
How to choose a steamer
When choosing a clothes steamer, it is important to pay attention to the following characteristics:
Steamer type. All steamers are divided into manual and floor models. Manual - the most mobile, take up little storage space, but are low-power. It is necessary to work with them more carefully, since they cannot be tilted too much. These are models for every day for a small amount of work. Floor standing steamers have a large water tank, require space, but are capable of handling just about any task. These are more productive devices, it is easier to work with them for a long time.
Power. Up to 900 W, these are manual models that work 10-15 minutes without interruption. Models from 900 - 1800 W are considered powerful, and over 2000 W are professional.
Water tank volume. From this characteristic depends on how long you can work without refueling. Large volume can only be found in floor-standing models.
Filling water type. There are steamers with and without scale protection. For the second type, it is necessary to fill in only distilled water. What to spend on is up to you.
Steam modes. There are models with one or more steaming modes: for delicate and coarse fabrics. Most users work in one, constant mode.
Accessories included. More expensive models have more of them: a brush for cleaning lint, a special device - a board - for steaming pockets and collars of clothes. Floor models have clothes hangers that are attached to the bracket. A handy thing is a clip for creating arrows on trousers and pleats on skirts. Irons can also be made of metal or plastic.
The best handheld garment steamers
Handheld steamers are compact devices for quickly giving clothes a neat, tidy look. The main advantage of this class of home equipment is its low cost and the small dimensions indicated above, which allow not only stationary work, but also to take the device with you during a long trip.
4 RUNZEL VAG-150 Jatten
Country: Sweden
Average price: 4000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The handheld steamer, thanks to the red color of the body, immediately attracts the attention of potential buyers. The smooth plastic surface and the stainless steel bottom stand look spectacular, they do not heat up very much during operation. However, to avoid getting a burn, a special mitten-tack is included in the kit. The technical characteristics and functionality of this device for the home have received many good reviews. After all, the power of 1500 W allows the device to heat up in just 25 seconds!
The removable water tank is small (360 ml), but the ability to regulate the steam supply allows it to be used economically. A special measuring cup with spout simplifies filling the tank. The maximum work in one cycle is about 15 minutes. The manual model also evokes positive emotions due to the presence of auto-shutdown options, protection for switching on without water, anti-drop.The quality of steaming depends on the structure of the fabric. The disadvantages include the inconvenient location inside the body of the steam control button.
3 "Family" A 8
Country: Russia
Average price: 1950 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
The Russian manufacturer offers a multifunctional hand-held device that in a matter of minutes will not only smooth out the most difficult creases and folds, but also disinfect the fabric, eliminating dust mites and other microorganisms. In this case, the structure of the threads of the clothing material is not destroyed. The body of the device is quite light (1.2 kg), so it does not require significant physical effort when ironing.
Plus, with 1700W of power, the steamer is ready to use in less than a minute after being turned on with a button conveniently located on the handle. A powerful jet of steam for 20 minutes in one cycle penetrates deep into the products, regardless of the density of the material and thickness. The owners of the device speak positively about the results of processing not only sweaters, outerwear, but also pillows, blankets, mattresses.
The advantages of the model usually include a very capacious tank (1 liter), a long cord (2 meters), the presence of a brush nozzle in the set, and safety of operation. The lower placement of the heating element, the presence of a lid with a hole for quick filling with water allows you to use the device as an electric kettle on the road.
2 Polaris PGS 1412C
Country: Russia, Italy, Israel, China
Average price: 2845 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Polaris PGS 1412C is perhaps the most attractive model in terms of ergonomics.Smooth lines make the product pleasant in appearance, and the convenient location of the steam button increases the safety of its use. The portable design is designed in such a way that the operator's palm firmly grasps the handle of the body, directing the jet precisely to the desired area of the tissue to be treated.
On the Internet, you can sometimes find negative reviews about the operation of manual steam generators. Most often this is due not to the shortcomings of the equipment, but to the improper operation of the devices. In order to avoid mistakes, the manufacturers provided the Polaris PGS 1412C with a clear instruction in Russian, which describes in detail the mechanism for using the model. The recommendations given in it help to correctly set the distance depending on the characteristics of the material to be ironed, as well as to choose the position of the device in which the result of its work will be most effective. But the model itself also has drawbacks. Most often, users complain about the low steam temperature and the small water tank.
1 MIE Assistente M
Country: Russia
Average price: 7500 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This model has the maximum power rating for handheld steamers. The value of this parameter for MIE Assistente M is 1500 W, which allows high-quality processing of products from materials of different densities, and the smooth metal surface makes the unit truly versatile - if necessary, it can be used as a mobile iron, using the traditional type of ironing on a horizontal ironing board.
The undoubted advantages of the product include a large number of accessories - with the help of MIE Assistente M you can give the perfect shape to the shirt collar (there is a special nozzle for this), iron the creases on the trousers, fixing them in the desired position, clean clothes made of fleecy fabrics with a special with a brush, and also protect the skin of the hands with a heat-resistant mitten. All this “wealth” fits compactly in a branded MIE handbag, which is convenient to take with you if necessary. But before buying it is worth considering that the device is quite heavy, it is difficult for them to work for a long time.
The best inexpensive floor steamers: budget up to 5000 rubles.
In terms of general advantages and disadvantages, budget models of floor steamers are not particularly different from more expensive, balanced counterparts. On the contrary, all significant changes relate exclusively to technical and operational characteristics. Inexpensive devices are less powerful and, as a result, have a lower steam generating capacity, which, nevertheless, does not detract from their effectiveness in smoothing things from delicate fabrics.
4 Ginzzu HG-202
Country: China
Average price: 4099 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The floor unit is not as often seen on sale as we would like, since its technical potential is definitely high. Adjustable power (maximum 2200 W) allows you to provide steam in 12-stage mode, depending on the type of surface to be treated.Users in the reviews indicate the successful use of the steamer in the fight against old wrinkles on clothes, stains on upholstered furniture or carpet, as well as on the hob of the stove. Steam is able to gently clean from grease, dust, spilled liquids.
The contents of the 2.5-liter removable tank located on the body are enough for an hour of intensive work. The maximum steam output is 50 g/min. For clothes there is a height-adjustable metal bracket with a hanger. With the help of 2 different types of nozzles, the best result is obtained. The design flaws of the owners include the lack of wheels on the case for easy movement, the length of the power cord is 1.2 meters and its manual winding.
3 Grand Master GM-A600
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 4900 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The standard floor type steamer has become a member of our rating not only because of its affordable cost, but also due to the innovative coating of the iron.
