Know what’s really hot and steamy? Saving money on quality home gadgets you’ll use for years. Oh, and never needing to iron again. You’ll get all that and more with this “compact but MIGHTY” handheld Conair steamer that’s currently 30% off — the lowest price it’s been since August.
Combining the results of ironing but with the ease and power of steam, it’s the type of tool you can use all over your home, from clothing to curtains to couches. If you’ve never used a steamer (or never used a quality one), you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Coming in white with gold, white with blue and black and silver, it weighs just over a pound (before adding water), making it a truly seamless addition to your laundry routine or holiday travel plans.
Get your home and outfit ready for the holidays, fast.
Heating up in just 40 seconds and with a 7.3-ounce water tank that gives you up to 20 minutes of continuous steam, the steamer is far less cumbersome than ironing boards and standing garment steamers, but just as effective. A little over a foot tall, it’s easy to maneuver and plenty sturdy.
“Feels very solid and well built, with a long power cord,” one wrote, with others calling it a “beast of a steamer.”
Reviewers say the machine will “save them hours” on pressing drapes, using the machine on bedding, slipcovers, furniture and even rugs. It’s especially lauded for getting folds and wrinkles out of new items, and “worked perfect on table runners and napkins that were purchased for holidays,” according to one reviewer.
Of course, it’s also loved for all sorts of clothing, from “my wife’s fine silky shirts” to jeans, blazers and more. “This is my first steamer ever, and I’m in love! It’s so much easier and faster than ironing,” one reviewer joked. “My house is wrinkle-free now! If only it worked for my face too.”
Its tank is large enough for tackling multiple garments at once.
Many celebrate that the easily refillable tank doesn’t leak, and is surprisingly long-lasting, allowing you to steam “multiple garments without needing frequent refills.” And they love it for traveling, taking to the office and generally on the go.
The steamer has a built-in creaser for that just ironed, fresh-pressed look. You’ll also get three attachment heads: a silicone band to keep your clothing tight as you steam, a “delicate” spacer for protecting finer fabrics and a bristle brush to ensure steam gets into heavier fabrics.
The quality, sturdiness and speed of this brand-name model make it “100% worth the price.”
A quick look through Amazon, and you’ll see a variety of budget steamers, yet reviewers who have tried both agree, when it comes to steamers, ′you really do get what you pay for.′
“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,” one user wrote. “The quality of this one, and the sturdiness of the plastic is worth the $50,” says another.
