15 Best Clothes Steamers (Review) In 2020

Our best choice clothes steamer had to be the HiLife handheld garment steamer which is so light it’s simply ideal for lifting and steaming for periods of time. This appliance is the perfect size at 14.5 inches tall so it’s really good for storing when not in use, and it’s handy for packing when traveling. Rather than using a heavy press that you can’t take with you or steam iron that can’t be used vertically, this is easy to use on the go so you don’t have to worry about putting up with creased clothing out of your closet or travel case.

For a mini travel steamer, this HiLife model has a big 240ml water capacity with a ‘fill’ level marker so you can’t go over that, and with the lengthy 9-foot power cable, you won’t be restricted to hovering near to the power socket. Steamers are known for removing bacteria, odors, and creases from clothing and soft furnishings such as drapes and bedding and this one does its job and is such a good price.

Unclutterer’s choice for the garment steamer with the best pump steam technology is the Beautural 1200 watt model, which is great for removing wrinkles from fabrics. It heats up really quickly – in just 30 seconds – and while portable, it’s supplied with three removable attachments providing a functional way to safely steam clothing, bedding, and even sofas and toys. It can be used horizontally or vertically thanks to the no-leak, no-spill detachable water jug.

The water tank itself has a large capacity of 260ml allowing for up to 15 minutes of steaming and the pump steam technology pushes high-pressure steam rapidly through the plate when you press the trigger. It will switch off after 8 minutes of inactivity, great if you forget to turn it off yourself, and this also features kicks in if the appliance overheats (when the empty water tank goes unnoticed). You’ll like the fact this steamer comes with a 24 months warranty.

The best value clothes steamer as chosen by Unclutterer is the Magictec. It’s a handheld model that’s portable enough to travel with and powerful enough to use at home. The steam is released by an ergonomic nozzle design which allows for even removal of fabric creases in an easy-to-use way. With a promise of 7-in-1 uses, you will find it can do more than remove wrinkles and at this price that’s why we think it is best for value.

It is lightweight at a mere 1.2lbs with a small water capacity of 120ml yet it heats up quickly and works fast on all types of fabrics, even delicates. You will love the fact that it’s easy to store away at home when not in use, and just as convenient to pack when going away.

PurSteam makes it into our list as our premium pick of the bunch powered by a fantastic 1800 watts and an impressive continuous steam ability of up to 45 minutes. Whether you intend to use it professionally or simply want a powerful multi-purpose garment steamer, this is the one we picked out that is ideal for both. Built into this professional-level appliance is also a folding ironing board for when you steam so there’s no need to unfold your main one, and comes with a useful hanger if you prefer to steam clothing vertically. It’s well designed and you can leave it in place in your utility or laundry room to save having to remove it from storage each time you want to use it.

A fashion-forward steamer, the PurSteam was chosen by us as the best professional option. It’s a sturdy and powerful steamer that can be wheeled into position and used easily. It has continuous steam and four adjustment levels for sterilizing and de-creasing clothes and other fabrics like cushions, drapes, and bedding. You can create creases too such as in hems, trousers and skirt pleats.

This is, in Unclutterer’s opinion, a great option for steaming in-home fabrics and is light and portable enough to move from storage into the position you wish to use it. It stands vertically and the extendable pole can be retracted when you choose to store it away.

If you are looking for a steamer that is most gentle on fabrics, the Unclutterer choice in this category is the PurSteam PS510. This lightweight clothes and fabric steamer that is ideal when you travel and for general home use. It is especially effective at wrinkle removal for delicate fabrics such as embroidered and sequinned fabrics as well as satin, silk, and chiffon. We believe this is a good choice as a first steamer or as an additional one for convenient, quick steam – and for those who don’t necessarily want to iron certain garments. It weighs just 1.1 pounds so you will find that it’s light enough to use to steam vertically

For the best in leak-proof technology, the Unclutterer option is the MagicPro travel steamer. This model is a lightweight yet sturdy example of a portable garment steamer that can be used on a multitude of fabrics including clothing, drapery, cushions, and bedding. It’s designed so that it won’t leak meaning that you can use it whilst fabrics are hanging up or while they are laid on a flat surface without it spilling or spitting out boiling water. You will like the fact that it shuts off if the water level becomes too low or the steamer becomes too hot.

The best mini option for steaming clothes and other fabrics is the OGHom steamer which is a small and portable option, great for taking on your travels, and in our opinion the best mini option. Whether you intend to buy a small steaming appliance for home where it can be easily stored, you travel for work or want to de-crease clothes when taking a vacation, this is the ideal size.

With a good-sized water tank for such a small model, it offers up to 18 minutes of continuous steaming before the need to refill. You might like to discover that the stainless steel heating element promises to offer a longer life than those designed with aluminum heating panels – the stainless steel is an anti-rust and anti-oxidation addition to the OGHom mini steamer.

In the group of small and affordable portable garment steamers, Unclutterer has chosen to highlight the Lemontec travel steamer. It’s designed differently to most of the clothes steamers we are featuring in our ’15 best’ list – it’s black which some might prefer over a white appliance. It boasts powerful and effective steaming so you can manage wrinkles and sanitize clothing and other fabrics.

If you want to organize your wardrobe at home with something that you can store away easily, or if you intend to use this little steamer when you travel, this heats up in 70 seconds and promises up to 9 minutes steaming time before you need to refill the water tank.

Our best pick for portable design with a nano filter is the Bizond steamer for both home and travel. This handheld model can be used vertically and horizontally and promises you can even use it upside down with no leakages or mess. If you want a versatile steamer that can be used at any angle then you might consider this one.

The nano filter is a feature that helps to prevent a build-up of limescale inside the appliance which helps to give it a longer life than those without it. It will make a great addition to your usual iron and you can take it places. Travel with it or pop it easily to store in your utility or laundry space to take out when you need it.

The Pure Enrichment standing steam system is our best choice if you want a fast heating, powerful option. It stands at just under 16 inches with a detachable pole and hose, hanger for efficiency, and it comes with an additional fabric brush. At just over 10 pounds it has been designed with wheels so that it can be moved into place easily without the need to lift it.

If you want to organize your wardrobe and remove clothing wrinkles while sanitizing your favorite outfits then it has a massive 60 minute steaming time before having to refill the huge half-gallon water tank. You can sterilize furnishings, hard surfaces, linens, and garments till your heart’s content.

The Unclutterer choice for dual safety protection is the hOmeLabs handheld iron steamer which is ideal for travel and quick use around the home. The safety feature has been designed with both auto shut-off; should the steamer become overheated it will switch off and reset itself again when cool enough and will do so if the water level becomes too low ( a handy reminder to refill the water tank ).

At just under 1.3 pounds you’ll find it light enough to use at eye-level and over time. It has a simple white design with an easy on-off switch and can be used for steaming, sanitizing, creasing, and de-wrinkling clothes, furnishings, linens, and more. If you are planning a work trip, just pop it in your case and refresh your clothes before that important meeting. Or just keep it in your laundry room to pull out when you need a quick steam fix.

The CIRAGO fabric and clothes steamer is our choice for the professional steamer that comes with superb high-quality accessories that most others choose not to provide. It is supplied with a perfectly shaped clothes hanger including pant clips so that you can steam clothing items whilst hanging – the hose is easy to handle meaning you can hold things like sleeves out of the way with one hand and steam with the other. It comes with a pants press, simply feed them through and create creases if needed. Also is a handy fabric brush and, we think, an all-important pair of anti-scalding gloves. It’s a professional grade appliance that can adjust it’s heat output in 2 ways for garments with stubborn wrinkles.

As the name suggests, the PurSteam 1400 watt steamer is a powerful appliance that is useful to use in your home or whilst traveling. It only weighs 2 pounds making it ideal for packing away for business or leisure trips and it’s easy to store at home. Perfect for a quick fix, you can steam and sterilize garments whilst they are hanging up and this model is gentle on all kinds of fabrics. We all hate ironing and this little gem is great for getting wrinkles out of pieces of clothing and heats up in seconds. It comes with a water measure and a handy fabric brush and the water tank is detachable. We think it’s great for refreshing and getting creases out of the lightest summer clothing as well as thicker winter pieces and it will also sanitize and steam home furnishings.

This Pure Enrichment Pro is a standing 4.5 feet steamer with a huge 2-liter water tank giving up to an hour of continuous steaming. We think this is on par with our professional choice although the difference here is that the on/off switch is controlled with a foot pedal. It comes with a detachable hanger for steaming clothing and you might like the fact it has four different water temperature levels so that you can steam and sterilize both thick and more delicate garments. The 6.5-foot power cord tidies neatly away when not in use.
