In order to buy a suitable steam iron, I really did a lot of homework, so I will share with you my shopping points~

1. Size
It is mainly used for garment steamer for Clothes business trips, so it must be portable, light, and easy to store. The space of the luggage for business trips is really precious! To put clothes, shoes, cosmetics, skin care products, so the volume of the steam iron must be small, preferably only a small space in the suitcase. When not in use, it can also be placed in the corner of the closet without disturbing the place~
2. Appearance
As a face value control, before buying something, if the functions are similar, you must first look at the appearance value. After all, it is something that needs to be used for a long time. With a high appearance value, it can be used smoothly~ Even if you don’t use it at ordinary times, you can put it there. A decoration, it's comfortable to look at~
3. Steam output speed/steam volume
The steam iron must first be heated and the steam must be released fast to save our time, but it cannot wet the clothes. If the clothes are wet, they have to wait for them to dry. Isn't that in a hurry! Then the amount of steam It has to be large to penetrate clothes effectively and iron your clothes in one go.
4. Ironing area
For a garment steamer or an electric iron, the ironing area must be large enough to save effort and worry.

A slightly more convenient clothes ironing machine on the market now


(1) The inner tank of the garment steamer
1. The aluminum liner is characterized by uneven heating and less steam output.
2. The copper inner tank is prone to scale after being used for a long time, thus shortening the service life of the inner tank
3. Stainless steel liner, fast heating, uniform heating, large amount of steam, and no scale will be produced after a long time, which ensures the safety of the garment steamer.
The structure of the whole machine is relatively large, and it is easy to carry without letting go! !
(2) The steam duct of the garment steamer
There are mainly two types of steam conduits: fiber braided hose and corrugated hose (with silicone tube inside).
The fiber braided hose has the advantages of anti-scalding, high temperature resistance and uniform steam. Generally, the fiber braided hose is selected for the garment steamer with small steam pressure.
The corrugated hose (with silicone tube inside) has the advantages of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. Generally, the corrugated hose is used for the steamer with high steam pressure.
The structure of the whole machine is relatively large, and it is easy to carry without letting go! !
(3), the steam nozzle of the garment steamer
1. Plastic panel
The characteristic of plastic is that it is not resistant to high temperature, and it is easy to deform after long-term use, making it impossible to iron and flatten clothes.
2. Stainless steel panel
The advantage is that the panel is not easy to deform, strong and durable, and can achieve the best ironing effect. The soleplate is smooth and wear-resistant, and ironing is smooth. The metal is bright, the texture is strong, the cost is high, and it is inconvenient to carry and travel.
Wireless portable electric iron heating element
As the name implies, it is relatively portable. The portable iron is also called a mini iron, but we are accustomed to call it a portable iron. The basic feature of portable irons is that they are small and easy to carry, and are usually suitable for travel, business trips, and work. Because it is easy to operate and easy to carry, it is especially popular among office workers.
