A clothes steam­er can­not com­plete­ly replace an iron, but it will be a good help in the house­hold. It will be very con­ve­nient to process cur­tains, iron wom­en’s things with small dec­o­ra­tive ele­ments or steam out out­er­wear. But how not to get con­fused with all the vari­ety in house­hold appli­ances stores? Kom­so­mol­skaya Prav­da has col­lect­ed the best steam­ers for clothes in 2022.

SteamOne ST70SB

The undis­put­ed leader in the cat­e­go­ry of steam­ers is Stea­mOne, so it is quite nat­ur­al that it occu­pies a lead­ing posi­tion in our rat­ing. The com­bi­na­tion of min­i­mal­is­tic and “expen­sive” design, pre­mi­um mate­ri­als and inno­v­a­tive tech­nolo­gies turns the steam­ing process into a real med­i­ta­tion.

>

>

The ver­ti­cal sta­tion­ary steam­er ST70SB from the STYLIS col­lec­tion pro­vides auto­mat­ic steam sup­ply thanks to built-in infrared sen­sors that con­trol the on and off steam gen­er­a­tion.

The man­u­fac­tur­er called this tech­nol­o­gy Start and Stop, it is patent­ed by Stea­mOne and so far only the ST70SB mod­el has it. The essence of the work is as fol­lows: when the head of the steam­er is fixed on the hold­er, the steam sup­ply auto­mat­i­cal­ly stops.

Thanks to this tech­nol­o­gy, it is pos­si­ble to save up to 40% of water, because. it is not con­sumed when the device is turned off.

In gen­er­al, the steam out­put of 42 g/min is enough to smooth out creas­es on any fab­ric.

But let’s not for­get that, of course, no steam­er, even one as pow­er­ful as Stea­mOne, can achieve the effect of per­fect “iron­ing”, so you should not try to steam a linen shirt to per­fect smooth­ness.

But due to the spe­cial tech­nol­o­gy of steam sup­ply due to heat­ing, and not under pres­sure, even del­i­cate fab­rics such as silk, embroi­dery or tulle are smoothed out with a bang, and the cos­tume fab­ric will not begin to shine, as from steam shocks. With Stea­mOne, you can’t burn col­or or burn a hole into fab­ric.

Readi­ness for work at the steam­er is instant — less than 1 minute. In prac­tice, this time is absolute­ly imper­cep­ti­ble. This is one of the biggest advan­tages of the brand’s devices com­pared to com­peti­tors.

Anoth­er handy fea­ture for those who are afraid to for­get to turn off the device is auto pow­er off. The steam­er will turn itself off if not used for 10 min­utes.

And what else makes Stea­mOne pre­mi­um is the process of car­ing for the steam­er. There is also a unique Anti-Calc sys­tem that allows you to descale the device: it is enough to dry the steam­er once every two months and clean it with a spe­cial cap.

Nice bonus: Stea­mOne steam at a tem­per­a­ture of 98 degrees is rec­og­nized by the Swiss lab­o­ra­to­ry Scitec Research SA as effec­tive in the fight against coro­n­avirus infec­tion. It kills up to 99.9% of bac­te­ria and virus­es on the fab­ric sur­face. This is espe­cial­ly true when using reusable masks.

Top 21 garment steamers in 2022 according to KP

1.SteamOne EUXL400B

Among hand­held steam­ers, Stea­mOne also has a flag­ship — EUXL400B. This is one of the most pow­er­ful hand­held mod­els on the mar­ket.

The steam flow is 30 g/min, which is very impres­sive for a device of this type. In just 30 sec­onds, the steam­er heats up to the desired tem­per­a­ture and is able to work con­tin­u­ous­ly for 27 min­utes. There are two oper­at­ing modes: “eco” and max­i­mum.

The small size makes the device very mobile and con­ve­nient for trans­porta­tion, the man­u­fac­tur­er took care of the ergonom­ic com­po­nent (the tank is unscrewed and there is a bag for stor­age and move­ment).

In gen­er­al, all devices of the brand are designed for com­fort­able use: a very pleas­ant soft-touch coat­ing, a whole set of acces­sories in the kit. Par­tic­u­lar­ly con­ve­nient, in our opin­ion, is the suc­tion cup, which can be attached to any smooth sur­face (win­dow, mir­ror, cab­i­net wall). This makes it pos­si­ble to steam things lit­er­al­ly any­where.

Anoth­er fea­ture is an addi­tion­al con­nec­tor for con­nect­ing your own con­tain­er with water. For exam­ple, you do not want to take an addi­tion­al vol­ume in the form of a water tank with you on a trip. Take a steam head and a con­nec­tor, and on vaca­tion find any water bot­tle.

Also, like the ver­ti­cal mod­el, it is equipped with the Anti-Calc sys­tem and auto-off.

2. Runzel MAX-230 Magica

This is a floor steam­er that com­bines all the nec­es­sary func­tions and styl­ish design. The time of heat­ing the water in the tank is 45 sec­onds, so you do not need to plan in advance what exact­ly needs to be stroked, and you are not afraid of being late.

You can inde­pen­dent­ly adjust the steam sup­ply due to the mechan­i­cal type of con­trol. The steam­er has 11 modes of oper­a­tion, so you can choose the right one depend­ing on the type of fab­ric.

5. Tefal DT7000

This is a small com­pact appli­ance that can be kept as a func­tion­al addi­tion to the iron. Or take it with you on trips. The water tank here is only 150 mil­li­liters. For­tu­nate­ly, you can always top up quick­ly. Or do not be stingy to buy a bot­tle of dis­tilled water and then the device will last a very long time. Assem­bled with high qual­i­ty: the parts are tight­ly adja­cent and the plas­tic is good, dense. If he still worked autonomous­ly, and not from the net­work, then he would not have a price. There is only one pow­er but­ton on the case. There is a steam trig­ger on the han­dle under the index fin­ger.

There are noz­zles for del­i­cate things and dense fab­rics. They will not be able to iron a shirt from the wash­ing machine. But to fresh­en up a thing from the clos­et in the morn­ing before work will do it with a bang. You can take it with you on a trip. True, if you have a suit­case of things, then its shape is not very con­ve­nient for trans­porta­tion.

9. Grandmaster GM-Q7 Multi/T

One of the top gar­ment steam­ers for 2022. Posi­tioned not only as a device for the home, but also for shops, dress­ing rooms, hos­pi­tals, hotels and oth­er ser­vice indus­tries where you need to take care of things. There are wheels for easy mov­ing from place to place. True, they are dumb. Steam, unlike bud­get mod­els, is sup­plied under pres­sure con­tin­u­ous­ly. This affects the speed of water con­sump­tion. But the process itself is faster. And it can also be used in clean­ing as a steam clean­er for dif­fi­cult con­t­a­m­i­nants. Still, steam at almost 100 degrees, in com­bi­na­tion with deter­gents, breaks down fat sharply.

For the steam­er, you can buy dif­fer­ent acces­sories. For exam­ple, an extend­ed hose or addi­tion­al noz­zles. Some­times in stores there are pro­mo­tions and they are giv­en as a gift. The water in the steam­er is heat­ed in two places at once: in the low­er boil­er and imme­di­ate­ly before going out­side in the iron. This reduces the amount of con­den­sate. Also on the iron there is a reg­u­la­tor and a steam but­ton. Com­plete hang­ers rotate 360 ​​degrees.

10. Tefal IXEO+ QT1510E0

Thanks to Smart Pro­tect tech­nol­o­gy, the device will not dam­age even the most del­i­cate fab­rics. The device works in such a way that the tem­per­a­ture of the iron and the steam out­put are uni­ver­sal.

The steam­er is equipped with an anti-calc sys­tem, which makes it eas­i­er to care for and pro­longs the ser­vice life. In the course of work in fab­rics microbes and bac­te­ria are killed, and also the unpleas­ant smell is elim­i­nat­ed.

11. Philips GC625/20

This ver­ti­cal steam­er has every­thing you need for flaw­less gar­ment care. Dual heat­ing tech­nol­o­gy pre­vents wet spots. With a pow­er­ful steam boost of 90 g/min, the device will eas­i­ly cope with any fab­rics, and con­tin­u­ous steam sup­ply of 35 g/min will remove all wrin­kles.

The Opti­mal­TEMP tech­nol­o­gy heats up the sole­plate to enhance the smooth­ing effect, but guar­an­tees pro­tec­tion from burn through. Since the noz­zle of the steam­er is made in a spe­cial shape, you can work out even dif­fi­cult areas: col­lars, cuffs, yokes.

The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that it has equipped the device with a mod­ern motor that is resis­tant to scale. Three types of steam can be select­ed depend­ing on the type of fab­ric, and an ECO mode can be select­ed to help reduce ener­gy con­sump­tion.

18. Kitfort KT-915

Mod­el from the senior line of the bud­get brand. It dif­fers from col­leagues in the work­shop by high­er pow­er. There is also a dis­play for select­ing modes and steam sup­ply strength. It seems to be an obvi­ous idea, but for some rea­son many man­u­fac­tur­ers avoid it, con­tin­u­ing to make devices with only mechan­i­cal switch­es. There are five stan­dard modes in total. The device is not easy — once again you are too lazy to drag and hide in a clos­et. Although there are wheels. But the cord is short. The wire can be wound into the body.

It heats up quick­ly — in a minute, after turn­ing on the net­work. Reser­voir for one and a half liters. This is enough for about 45 min­utes of steam­ing at medi­um pow­er. In this case, the steam will not go con­stant­ly: for ten sec­onds there is a good pres­sure, then a decline. Be sure to wear a com­plete mit­ten — after five min­utes of work, the han­dle becomes very hot. Plas­tic with­stands, but it is uncom­fort­able to work.

19. M.I.E. Piccolo

“Pic­co­lo” means “small” in Ital­ian. This clothes steam­er lives up to its name. Inside you can pour up to 500 ml of water. This is enough for about 15 min­utes of work. In fact, to work in detail with one thing. If the tank is emp­ty, the device will turn off. Also, expe­ri­enced users rec­om­mend not pour­ing a full tank and not tilt­ing it more than 45 degrees — it will spit water.

The pow­er but­ton is locat­ed on the han­dle, you do not need to keep it pressed all the time. Includ­ed is a brush for pile, which is worn on the spout. There is a board in the box, which the man­u­fac­tur­er rec­om­mends plac­ing under cuffs and oth­er small parts. Don’t for­get about the mitt. Although judg­ing by the reviews, it does not heat up much. All this good­ness can be put into the shop­per that comes with the kit — a tri­fle, but nice. The man­u­fac­tur­er also sug­gests using your steam­er as a ket­tle. Sounds like a joke, but we’re not mak­ing it up. The iron is removed, and a cov­er is put on in its place. A small road boil­er comes out.

20. RUNZEL MAX-220 Rena

This gar­ment steam­er isn’t new, but it’s cur­rent for 2022 and often found in stores. There is even a def­i­nite plus over the more cur­rent mod­els of the same com­pa­ny — the appear­ance is not so “indus­tri­al”. Clos­er sim­i­lar to our usu­al house­hold appli­ances. It sup­plies steam with a pres­sure of 3.5 bar. This is a remark­able indi­ca­tor among col­leagues and com­peti­tors.

The appli­ance has 11 steam options. If the water tank is emp­ty, the device will turn off. It can work 1.5 hours. For most every­day tasks, there is plen­ty of time. The device has a good, durable hose. But it’s not par­tic­u­lar­ly flex­i­ble. In addi­tion, if the tele­scop­ic guides are pushed all the way up, then the iron does not reach there slight­ly. It is solved by sim­ply low­er­ing the racks. The device is light­weight. If the hose does not reach some­where, you can put it on a table or iron­ing board.

21. ENDEVER Odyssey Q‑507 / Q‑509

This steam­er for clothes, despite the bud­get price tag, has good char­ac­ter­is­tics. We imme­di­ate­ly note a remov­able 2.5‑liter water tank and a ledge in the back, on which you can wind the cord. The device itself also looks con­cise, only the col­or of the plas­tic is too bright. But this is, so to speak, the sig­na­ture style of bud­get tech­nol­o­gy. Now let’s talk about the nuances that actu­al­ly make this device bud­get.

The hose is short. That is, he is right back to back — espe­cial­ly swing­ing and retreat­ing to a dis­tance will not work. But it is unscrewed, which is con­ve­nient for stor­age and clean­ing of the steam­er. If you pull the iron sharply, the noz­zles will spit out a few drops of water, so be care­ful. The steam pow­er switch is only at the bot­tom. There are a cou­ple of stan­dard acces­sories in the pack­age, but no more. For exam­ple, there are no boards for col­lars and pock­ets. Ten­sion board for guides too. The mit­ten is thin. In gen­er­al, cheap-cheer­ful, but it works.

1. Philips GC557/30 ComfortTouch

If you sit a lit­tle longer choos­ing the best clothes steam­er, you will quick­ly real­ize that the appear­ance of these devices is not the most suit­able for home inte­ri­ors. Philips man­aged to make high-qual­i­ty and, it seems, the most beau­ti­ful devices. True, at a great price. Their steam­ers are some of the most expen­sive on the mar­ket. This appli­ance will auto­mat­i­cal­ly go into stand­by mode if the tank is emp­ty. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that their iron is safe for all fab­rics — even silk will not burn through at max­i­mum pow­er.

Engi­neers made sure that the steam­er was easy to dis­as­sem­ble and clean from scale. Although the instruc­tions say to use only dis­tilled water, which prac­ti­cal­ly solves this prob­lem. But not every­one fol­lows the rules. The steam hose is made of sil­i­cone. Five modes of steam sup­ply are avail­able to users — for spe­cif­ic fab­rics. By the way, the device works non-stop, which is typ­i­cal of cheap­er mod­els. The hang­er has an inter­est­ing lock for fix­ing things. A kind of board is fas­tened to the guides, to which you can press the fab­ric with noz­zles to achieve a stronger effect.

2. Zauber PRO-270s i‑Fordel

Anoth­er pro­fes­sion­al device. The man­u­fac­tur­er on the web­site writes that it is made in Swe­den, but Chi­na is list­ed on the box. Man­age­ment is very sim­ple. There are two large but­tons on the case — one turns on / off, the sec­ond winds the cord. On the han­dle, switch­ing to one of two steam sup­ply modes — for del­i­cate and all oth­er fab­rics. The water tank holds more than two liters. You can add direct­ly dur­ing oper­a­tion. Heat­ing takes place in the low­er boil­er and in the iron to avoid drip­ping. True, with each new inclu­sion, the iron will still spit, because con­den­sate col­lects in it. So take it away from your clothes first.

It is ready to work in a minute, after inclu­sion in the sock­et. There is a noz­zle to smooth out the arrows on the trousers. The stand can be fold­ed for com­pact stor­age or pulled out. A wal­let for stor­ing noz­zles clings to it. In addi­tion to trouser clips, the man­u­fac­tur­er puts in the box two brush­es to col­lect pile from fab­rics, a mit­ten and a plas­tic board that can be placed under pock­ets and col­lars.

3. Polaris PGS 1415C

The com­pa­ny has sev­er­al sim­i­lar mod­els of dif­fer­ent years. So do not pay atten­tion if you meet in the store not 1415, but 1412. There is not much dif­fer­ence between these clothes steam­ers. Only 90 mil­li­liters of water is poured into the pen. Plug into the out­let and after half a minute you can press the steam but­ton.

The device is whim­si­cal in oper­a­tion. That is, you should not tilt it — water will flow. Pour too much — water will flow. But it’s hard to call it a dis­ad­van­tage. As with any device, there are rules to fol­low. Despite the small size, the pow­er and the amount of steam pro­duced are decent. The cord is two meters long. This is use­ful when steam­ing cur­tains. The device is com­pact and easy to take with you. You should not expect the ide­al effect of ironed things, but refresh­ing a shirt or dress before going out is just a fea­si­ble task.

4. Scarlett SC-GS130S06

In 2022, this gar­ment steam­er looks hilar­i­ous. You won’t keep such a bright “vac­u­um clean­er” in the mid­dle of the room. But if there is a pantry, then why not con­sid­er it. More­over, a mod­est device has ful­ly earned a posi­tion in our rank­ing of the best. So, the steam­er is on sol­id wheels. In gen­er­al, few man­u­fac­tur­ers resort to such an engi­neer­ing solu­tion. And in vain — it’s con­ve­nient. There is only one tele­scop­ic guide — this is a minus for sta­bil­i­ty, but a plus for dimen­sions. The shoul­ders can also be fold­ed.

The mode switch is locat­ed on the case. There are a record num­ber of them here — ten pieces. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that steam is sup­plied in the amount of 160 grams per minute. This is a very large indi­ca­tor. Even expen­sive devices can not boast of this. How­ev­er, one should not expect great mir­a­cles from him. Basic bud­get steam­er. The box con­tains a set of acces­sories — a brush for woolen and del­i­cate fab­rics, a pro­tec­tive mit­ten, an over­lay for col­lars.

5. Pioneer SH107

This is a styl­ish mod­el of a hand­held steam­er that dif­fers in appear­ance from most com­peti­tors. The device is not very pow­er­ful. Steam con­sump­tion is only 20 g/min, which is good for dis­in­fect­ing things, giv­ing a neat look and smooth­ing out small wrin­kles.

This is a good option for trav­el­ing, as the device does not take up much space and allows you to take care of your clothes even out­side the home. For con­ve­nience, the water tank is built into the body, it is easy and con­ve­nient to fill and start using.

The steam­er has two modes of oper­a­tion, depend­ing on the type of fab­ric. The kit includes a brush attach­ment that allows steam to pen­e­trate into the deep­er lay­ers of the fab­ric.

How to choose a steamer

If you want to save time and get every­thing at once, of course, only the Stea­mOne brand steam­er will suit you.

It will be a lit­tle more expen­sive than the rest, but you get a device that is easy, pleas­ant and safe to use for a very long time.

All oth­er brands have excel­lent bud­get mod­els, but you need to care­ful­ly choose: study the char­ac­ter­is­tics, reviews, espe­cial­ly those relat­ed to after-sales ser­vice and the pur­chase of addi­tion­al con­sum­ables, spend time eval­u­at­ing the price-qual­i­ty ratio.

About device types

In addi­tion to man­u­al and floor-stand­ing, gar­ment steam­ers are clas­si­fied accord­ing to the method of steam gen­er­a­tion. I con­sid­er this char­ac­ter­is­tic to be the most sig­nif­i­cant. The boil­er room is con­sid­ered the most effi­cient — when water enters a spe­cial com­part­ment at the bot­tom and there it is con­vert­ed into steam by boil­ing. And then it comes out of the iron when the user press­es the but­ton. Such devices are the most pow­er­ful, but also the most expen­sive.

In which case will replace the iron

Only if you are not a per­fec­tion­ist: not obsessed with per­fect trouser creas­es and per­fect office shirts. Refresh­ing casu­al clothes, straight­en­ing the creas­es of a jack­et, tidy­ing up a light dress or blouse — all this is a real task. You can’t take a crum­pled thing out of the wash with even the most pow­er­ful device for 15–20 thou­sand rubles. Only an iron will help here.

About important ingredients

Man­u­fac­tur­ers try to lure the buy­er with as many bells and whis­tles as pos­si­ble. For exam­ple, put on a mit­ten. If you look objec­tive­ly, then with a good device the han­dle does not heat up very much, you can not use pro­tec­tion. But the bud­get ones are so hot that you can get a burn. Iron brush­es are also ques­tion­able. The bris­tles must be very stiff in order to col­lect lint. Soft and cheap are use­less. The same prin­ci­ple applies to the ver­ti­cal iron­ing board. Most often it is made of durable fab­ric. More like a cov­er for tele­scop­ic racks. So not all mod­els have this part func­tion­al. In some it just gets in the way. To be sure of the qual­i­ty, read the reviews.

Examine the iron

Per­haps, after the heat­ing ele­ment, this is the most impor­tant detail. Cheap mod­els are equipped with a plas­tic iron — frag­ile and unre­li­able. Ceram­ic is con­sid­ered the coolest, but such mod­els are on the fin­gers. The best option would be stain­less steel.

About the main length

Many gar­ment steam­ers in 2022 have a short cord. But it’s not ter­ri­ble in gen­er­al. Roll the device to the out­let and iron it. Much more impor­tant is the length of the hose. There should be an opti­mal bal­ance: if it is short, you will be tor­ment­ed. Too long — creas­es will appear that will delay the release of steam. Pay atten­tion to the mate­r­i­al: it should not be eas­i­ly wrin­kled and twist­ed.
