Why is this clothing steamer deal worth it?

At 30% off, this customer-favorite clothing steamer is an inexpensive way to tackle everyday wrinkles without taking up closet space. More than 20,000 were bought in the past month alone and, since it's lightweight and portable, it's perfect for quick touch-ups and travel use.

It's also portable and travel-friendly: It fits easily into your bag for trips, so you don't have to worry about wrinkled clothes or whether your hotel has an iron.  

It's safe to use on a variety of fabrics, making it useful for work shirts, dresses and pants. The 700W steamer uses a 304 stainless steel heating panel, which the brand says helps resist rust and oxidation. A 240 ml tank provides around 15 minutes of continuous steaming before it needs to be refilled.

What do reviewers think?

Reviewers frequently point to the steamer's compact size, quick heating and straightforward design.

"A busy parent's new favorite laundry shortcut," said one reviewer. "The steamer heats up quickly. The extra-long cord also makes it easy to move around without constantly searching for a closer outlet."

"This is the best handheld steamer out there. It's lightweight but holds enough water to easily steam several shirts with one fill. It's quiet and heats up quickly. I use it at least once a week and have basically replaced my extra-wide ironing board/iron with it," said another.

"The steamer is great for travel and very easy to use… wrinkles came out very easily. The included brush attachment made the entire process very streamlined as well. I have traveled a lot in the past and wish I had this steamer earlier!" wrote one reviewer.

What could be better?

The steamer is better suited for smaller jobs than an entire load of laundry. For everyday and last-minute wrinkle removal, though, its smaller size is part of the appeal.

The steamer also only works with 110V to 120V outlets, so it isn’t designed for international travel in countries that use 220V to 240V power. The manufacturer specifically warns that using it with those outlets, even with an adapter or portable converter, can cause the steamer to malfunction.
