Conair Handheld Garment Steamer for Clothes, Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W, Portable Handheld Design, Strong Penetrating Steam, White / Champagne

I bought this Conair clothes steamer in a bit of a rush because I suddenly realized I had a multi-day conference ahead of me, and my suits and sports jackets were in storage (thank you Amazon Prime). The clothes were clean enough in their zip-up plastic bags, but quite wrinkly. A number of online reviews had this unit as the number 1 pick or close, and I see why.LIKESBuild quality — This is a huge, heavy beast of a steamer. The giant steam head alone is as big as a brick, and HEAVY, and all the plastics feel designed for heavy use. The buttons are solid, the cord is thick, and it just seems ready to go forever out of the box. Not common in our era of disposable appliances.Power — This unit claims to put out over 1800 watts, and I believe it. Just a few seconds gets it the steam ready to go, and I never felt I needed to go past “2” or “3” out of the five available power settings. It makes a lot of steam and works fast.Efficacy — I see people talking about how many “passes” are required to remove wrinkles, and I did need a few, but I was frankly a bit scared of the higher power levels, which might have sped things up. Still only talking about 5 minutes or so to steam a suit jacket and pants. The crease clip on top of the head (see below) worked great and having used it, I’d rather not be without that feature.I’ve read that some of these machines “spit” water before the steam is ready, and it neither spit nor leaked water anywhere.The “sole plate” on the front of the steamer is not perfectly flat, but it’s covered in a non-stick material, so I think you could “iron” with it if you felt the need. I just didn’t because it took out all my wrinkles with the clothes right on the hanger. This thing takes out wrinkles FAST.Features — I like that it has those power settings (not that common in these devices) and the bright lights that show you how high you have the device set all the time.The sturdy, separate buttons for on/off and steam are good as well. The power cord is long enough at 6 feet, and I like that Conair included a prong cover and a ratcheting cord keeper strap that is sturdy enough to keep with the unit. I really appreciate that the machine has a flat bottom on the handle that allows you to securely stand it up on the counter as you work.The water reservoir is large, and I never came close to using it up steaming two jackets and a pair of pants. The “crease clip” on top of the head worked great for sharpening the creases on my dress pants. I don’t know if I’ll use the “delicates” attachment, but it’s nice to have.NOT SO LIKESNot much, but I intend to bring this unit with me on my trip, and it is going to take up a lot of space in the suitcase. It doesn’t fold or swivel, and at 13” long and two very solid pounds, it’s a bit of a beast. If you travel a lot, you may want something sleeker to take with you. Nevertheless, a travel case or pouch would have been nice to have, and there is none included.The hole to fill the large water tank is small, but wasn’t a problem. I did have a little trouble with the silicone plug that closes that hole, which has a tab on it for easy lifting, but which can get in the way when you’re trying to press it down. The small hole also means you can’t easily get the unit completely empty of water, but i think that’s in the nature of this kind of device. I just turned the tank on its head on a towel and left it for a while, which you need to do anyway because it stays hot for quite a while.CONCLUSION - This is the steamer to get if you want the job done right and aren’t bothered by a bit of bulk. It’s a deadly serious, wrinkle-crushing piece of equipment to keep in the laundry room and, in a pinch, on a trip if you have the room.Five big, steamy stars.

This steamer works great—it heats up quickly and does a solid job smoothing out wrinkles. However, it’s very heavy, which makes it tough to use for more than one or two garments at a time. If you’re just steaming the occasional piece, it’s perfect. For larger batches, it might wear your arm out.Overall, effective but not the most ergonomic option.

I got this to avoid ironing curtains for my son’s new condo. I’m amazed with how well it worked. The outer part of a shower curtain was extremely wrinkly cotton. Steamed right out, no problems and extremely quickly. It will save me hours of pressing drapes. I have not tried it for clothing yet, but can’t wait. It uses very little water, so refills are infrequent and easy to do. Wish I’d bought one years ago.

This steamer is very difficult to use. I know I am not overfilling it because I am using the guidelines on the steamer, Yet it starts to bubble over and it just pours hot water out all over whatever i am steaming.I even have had to use a towel to soak up all the water on the floor. The first time it happened.I was very lucky that I did not get burned by hot water. Honestly I gave up and got the iron out.

Worth the money! Don't get a cheaper one, or you will spend 20 minutes trying to get a garment to look as wrinkle free as this one did in 2 minutes. I do recommend you crank it up as high as your garment can take, and read the safety instructions. Remember: its hot steam and you can get scalded easily.
