Garment steamer is also called electric iron, clothes have wrinkles, use it to iron can become smooth. But recently, there have been some complaints about the garment steamer on the Internet, some people say that the regular use of the garment ironing machine will damage the clothes, some people say that the garment ironing machine exudes a pungent odor, and some people say that the garment steamer has potential safety hazards. As a home appliance evaluator with many years of actual measurement experience, today I will give you a detailed science popularization
This is some of the garment steamers I bought recently.
OneThe ironing machine will not damage the clothesExpose the four major flaws
The ironing machine will not damage the clothesIf it is a professional and high-quality garment steamer, the function is excellent in all aspects, the ironing effect is excellent, and the safety is also high. If it is the kind of inferior and unprofessional garment steamer, it is likely to cause damage to the clothes, because this kind of product is often poor in all aspects of workmanship, the ironing effect is very unsatisfactory, and there may be potential safety hazards. Below I have specially summarized some of the four major disadvantages that may exist in an unprofessional inferior garment steamer.
Damage to clothing
Many people complained that the garment steamer they bought would burn their clothes, but in fact, it was because he bought inferior products. The quality of this inferior product is very poor, and there are many shortcomings, such as too high power, inaccurate temperature control, poor compatibility, etc., so the use of this product to iron clothes is easy to cause damage to the clothes, and it will directly destroy the fibrous tissue of the clothes.
The product smells badPeculiar smell, polluting the air
There are some inferior garment steamers with poor cavity structure performance, coupled with long-term exposure to high-temperature pressurized environments, the corrosion resistance of the product will be weakened. Therefore, it is easy to emit a pungent odor during use, and this unpleasant smell can easily get contaminated on clothing. Wearing this kind of clothing not only affects the health of the human body, but also pollutes the indoor air.
Easy to burn**, bringing potential safety hazards
Through observation, we will find that many inferior garment steamers are very unprofessional in the design of the grip part, and the design is not reasonable enough, so it is easy to burn**. Garment steamer irons clothes through high-temperature steam, which is easy to burn if you don't pay attention to it, and the consequences are very serious.
It is easy to cause fire and electric shock safety accidents
There are many inferior garment steamers with potential safety hazards in terms of fire, lines, etc. Such inferior circuits may have flaws in their design. Long-term use of this inferior garment steamer is likely to cause fire, electric shock and other safety accidents.
IIBroke the news of five exaggerated propaganda points
The ironing machine will not damage the clothesThrough the previous analysis, we have mastered that there are many disadvantages of inferior and unprofessional garment steamers. How can we choose a high-quality garment steamer?Many people may still not have the answer. In order to help you accurately identify the inferior garment steamer, I have specially collected a professional organization on the Internet to publish the ten major hazard causes of the garment steamer, through the following analysis chart we can more intuitively see the shortcomings of the inferior garment steamer.
On this basis, I have also summarized the exaggerated propaganda points of five common inferior garment steamers for you, so that you can avoid them when purchasing:
False standard product power
There are some garment steamer manufacturers on the market to arbitrarily falsely label the power, to ensure that the power displayed by the sign is up to standard, but after the actual use, it is found that the ironing effect is not ideal, and the amount of steam is small. This phenomenon appears in many cheap and low-quality products, and everyone should remember to avoid it.
: Advertise that the product is safe and does not hurt clothing
Almost all garment steamer merchants claim that their garment steamer is absolutely safe and will never hurt clothes!But in fact, many brands entrust third-party factories to OEM production, what do they use to ensure that the products do not hurt the clothes?Is it just a certificate?There are a lot of posts complaining about this on the Internet, like many brands that simply rely on Internet celebrities to fry the concept, without any professional R&D experience at all, and the product compatibility is so poor, how can it not damage the clothes?
There is no difference between expensive and cheap, just buy the cheap one
Many people around us have a wrong concept of consumption, that is, the difference between expensive and cheap is not big, in fact, in essence, the difference between expensive and cheap is quite big, such as heating parts, materials, technical adjustment, steam structure design, etc., high-quality garment steamer has a large amount of steam, uniform and stable steam volume, long-term attenuation will be lower, ironing effect is more outstanding, and it does not hurt clothes.
Clothing of all fabrics is compatible
Many merchants exaggerate that their products have very high-quality functions and excellent compatibility, and clothes of any fabric can be ironed. In fact, these products have very little steam, and they can't handle thicker garments at all, and products with low steam are the most likely to damage clothes.
Fast ironing in seconds
Many garment steamer merchants also advertise that the product can be ironed quickly, ironing can be completed in 30 seconds, etc., which accounts for a large part of the flickering ingredient, on the one hand, the merchant is purely exaggerated publicity, on the other hand, the high-power garment steamer is the most damaging clothes.
IIIPit Avoidance Guide: A must-haveEight**Purchase points
The ironing machine will not damage the clothesThrough the previous popular science, I believe everyone has a number in their hearts. The garment steamer with strong professional and technical strength has reached strict technical standards, and has also undergone professional technical adjustment, which will not damage the clothes. However, it is not easy to say about the non-professional inferior garment steamer, which is likely to damage the clothes, produce irritating odors, and pollute the air. In that case, how can we avoid such inferior products?Below I will combine my years of experience in home appliance evaluation to teach you some very useful purchase skills:
PreferredTechnical prowessStrong brand
Prefer brands with strong technical strength, don't blindly follow the trend and choose Internet celebrity brands or brands that purely pile up performance parameters. The garment steamer produced by the brand with strong technical strength has excellent performance in all aspects, good compatibility, high safety, and the product can effectively protect the clothes without losing the clothes. Such products often have a set of strict standards and adjustments in core indicators such as steam distance, steam uniformity, temperature control accuracy, clothing protection, anti-scald design, etc., and its durability and corrosion resistance are also stronger.
2. Priority is given to the multi-functional garment steamer
There are types of garment steamers on the market, such as multi-function garment steamers, vertical garment steamers, and hand-held garment steamers. The multi-functional garment steamer is undoubtedly the most popular, it has a variety of ironing modes such as flat ironing, hanging ironing, steam ironing, etc., which is small in size and more convenient to carry, and does not take up space in the house. The excellent performance of the multi-functional garment steamer is even comparable to that of the vertical garment steamer, so it has become the most popular garment steamer on the market today. The water tank of the vertical garment steamer is too large, even if it can iron multiple pieces of clothes at a time, but the body volume is too large, this product is only suitable for use in large space scenes such as clothing stores, and the words of ordinary families are not suitable. The handheld garment steamer is very small, but her steam volume is also small, and the ironing effect is not good, so this type of garment steamer is more suitable for ironing a few simple clothes.
3. It is preferable to be equipped with ceramic glaze panels
The steam panel of the garment steamer can be made of stainless steel panel, Teflon panel, ceramic glazed panel, plastic panel, etc. Among them, the quality of the ceramic glaze panel is the best, first of all, it is not easy to deform, strong and durable, and the ironing effect will be better. In addition, the bottom plate of the ceramic glazed panel is smooth and wear-resistant, not easy to snag, there is no risk of hurting clothes, and it is not easy to produce irritating odors.
Preference is given to products with uniform and stable steam volume
The steam volume of the high-quality garment steamer is uniform and stable, and the high-quality and professional garment steamer uses high-quality materials in the heating tube, heating panel, water pump and other accessories, and the steam volume is more uniform and stable. The steam volume of an inferior garment steamer is uneven and unstable, which can easily cause damage to the clothes.
5. Products with simple operation mode
Choose a product that is easy to operate. A good garment steamer should not only have a good ironing effect, but also simplify the operation steps and methods, after all, simple operation helps to improve ironing efficiency. On the other hand, in the event of a special situation such as an operation error, it is necessary to respond quickly, and if the operation is too complicated, it is easy to cause burns and cause safety accidents such as fires.
Temperature control accuracyHigh product
The thermostat is mainly used to control the heating temperature, select the corresponding heating temperature according to different gears and different fabrics, and choose the appropriate temperature for ironing to achieve the best wrinkle removal effect. The temperature control of an inferior garment steamer is likely to be inaccurate, the stability of the ironing temperature is also poor, the clothes are easily damaged, and it may also cause fires. However, if the temperature is too low, it will also affect the ironing effect.
YesCompatible withClothing in a variety of fabrics
Now there are a variety of clothing materials on the market, and the garment steamer should give priority to choosing good compatibility, and only products with good compatibility can be applied to different materials and different thicknesses of clothes to be ironed. In addition, this kind of product has many gears, large steam volume, many modes (dry ironing, wet ironing, etc.), and many suitable fabrics, so that it can easily control all kinds of fabrics, and also has two ironing modes of dry and wet to reduce damage to clothes.
8. Not the more expensive the product, the better
Many big-name garment steaming machines are expensive, some are priced as high as thousands of yuan, this product will more or less have a high premium commonality, if you really want to look at the material, quality and performance, in fact, there is no need for such a high cost, the ironing effect and compatibility are not excellent, and it may damage the clothes.
There are many kinds of garment steamers on the market, even if you have mastered the purchase skills, it is inevitable that you will choose the wrong one. Because all merchants boast that their products are good, good protection for clothes, high compatibility, strong performance, and good ironing effect. Which brand can do what it says?How can we distinguish between good and bad?Below I have made some of the actual measurement summary of the core index of garment steaming machine for you, and through this table we can see which brand is a high-quality and professional garment steamer!

What's even more commendable is that it insists on specializing in professional technology that does not hurt clothes, and pursues the peak of deep ironing performance, which is different from the Internet celebrity brands that pursue beauty design. Never advertise,With the strong recommendation of fashion bloggers and professional home appliance evaluators, it has become popular and has dominated the list of major, medium and high-end word-of-mouth and sales rankings all year round!After checking, it was found that it is one of the very few professional old brands that have been certified by the European Union, the United States and other countries, and exported to Europe and the United States for many years, and more than 500 professional evaluators have recognized it as having the highest protection coefficient for clothes!

Among other brands, if you want to start with entry-level products, you can take a lookXiaomiBeautiful, the design is OK, of course, the core performance is not as good as the professional mid-to-high-end style. If you don't have budget pressure, you can consider itPanasonicHigh-end model, the workmanship is also not bad.

We must be good at using the purchase skills we have mastered to avoid inferior products, if we can choose a satisfactory garment steamer, then we can have a perfect ironing experience.
After the room temperature water of the garment steamer is energized, it will vaporize into high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor, which will be released through the steam pipe and nozzle. In the use of the high-quality garment steamer, it is directly sprayed at the folds of the clothes, and the hot water steam is constantly in contact with the clothes, so as to make the clothes smooth. If you want to iron and disinfect clothes, curtains, and carpets, you can also use a garment steamer, which is convenient and time-saving.
