OneIs a garment steamer dangerous?？There are four major secondary risks of doxxing
Is a garment steamer dangerous?Both professional and high-quality garment steamer This product function is very good, the ironing effect is very good, and the safety performance is not to say, but the inferior and unprofessional garment steamer may lead to damage to the clothes, because this kind of product is often poor in all aspects of workmanship, the ironing effect is not ideal, and there may be potential safety hazards. Below I have specially summarized some of the four major risks that may exist in an unprofessional inferior garment steamer.
Damage to clothing
Many people run out of garment steamers and find that their clothes are burned. In particular, the use of inferior and unprofessional products has many shortcomings, such as too high power, inaccurate temperature control, poor compatibility, etc., the use of this kind of products to iron the clothes will destroy the fiber tissue of the clothes, and the result is that the clothes are scalded and burned.
The product is irritatingPeculiar smell, polluting the air
The cavity structural materials of many inferior garment steamers are of inferior quality, and the corrosion resistance of the garment steamer will gradually weaken in a long-term high-temperature pressurized environment. Therefore, it will cause a pungent odor to be emitted during use, and this odor is also easy to stain on clothes. In this way, it not only affects the health of the human body, but also causes pollution to the indoor air.
Easy to burn**, there are potential safety hazards
If we look closely, we will find that the grip part of many inferior garment steamers is not designed reasonably enough, and the result is that it is easy to burn**. Garment steamer irons clothes through high-temperature steam, which is easy to burn if you are not careful, and the consequences are serious.
It is easy to cause fire and electric shock safety accidents
Many inferior garment steamers have potential safety hazards in terms of fire and wiring. The circuit design of inferior products is often not up to standard, and there may be defects, and there are risks in the electrical safety of this kind of garment steamer. Long-term use of this problematic garment steamer may cause fire, electric shock and other safety accidents.
IIDisclosureGarment steamerFive exaggerated selling points
Is a garment steamer dangerous?We have analyzed before, the inferior and unprofessional garment steamer can be said to be full of slots, everyone remember to avoid lightning. How can we choose the right garment steamer?Many people may still not have the answer. In order to help you identify the inferior garment steamer cleanly, I have collected and sorted out a top ten hazard cause analysis of the garment steamer issued by a professional organization on the Internet, and we can clearly see the characteristics of the inferior garment steamer through this figure.
In addition, I have also summarized the exaggerated selling points of five common inferior garment steamers for you to avoid when purchasing:
False standard product power
Although the product is marked with the power standard, the actual ironing effect is poor, and the steam volume is weak, which is completely fooling consumers. This phenomenon often appears in cheap and low-quality products, and everyone must avoid it.
: The advertisement says that the product is safe and does not harm clothing
Almost all garment steamer merchants advertise that their garment steamer will never hurt clothes and is 100% safe!The truth is that most brands are OEM produced through third-party factories, and I wonder what they do to ensure that the products do not hurt the clothesIs it just a certificate?There are a lot of complaints on the Internet, like many brands that only rely on Internet celebrities to fry the concept, have no R&D experience at all, and the product compatibility is poor, how can it not damage the clothes?
The expensive ones are the same as the cheap ones, buy only the cheap ones
Many people have such a wrong concept of consumption, feeling that there is no difference between expensive products and cheap ones, in fact, the difference is still very big in essence, such as heating parts, materials, technical adjustment, steam structure design and other aspects, high-quality garment steamer has a large amount of steam, uniform and stable steam outgas, lower long-term attenuation, and the ironing effect is also better, and does not hurt clothes.
Clothing of all fabrics is compatible
Many businesses exaggerate the promotion of their own products with high-quality functions, any fabric and clothing can be compatible, and ensure that the clothes will not be damaged, but many of the products have too little steam, and the effect is very poor if you iron thicker clothes.
5. It can be ironed quickly in 30 seconds
Many garment steamer merchants advertise that the product can be ironed quickly, ironing in 30 seconds and other gimmicks, which exist in the majority of the flickering ingredients, on the one hand, the business is purely said to be exaggerating publicity, on the other hand, the high-power garment steamer is actually the most likely to damage the clothes,IIIStay away from inferior garment steamersEight**Buying skills are essential
Is a garment steamer dangerous?Through the previous popular science, I believe you have a better understanding. The professional strength of the garment steamer has reached strict technical standards, but also after professional technical tuning, the overall cost-effective. There are many risks associated with non-professional inferior garment steamers, which may burn clothes, produce peculiar smells, and endanger health. We should be able to avoid this kind of inferior garment steamer?Next, I will combine my years of experience in measuring household appliances to teach you some useful purchase skills:
Preferably ownedTechnical prowessStrong brand
It is better to choose brands with strong technical strength, and avoid blindly choosing Internet celebrity brands or brands that purely pile up performance parameters. The compatibility and safety of the high-quality and professional garment steamer has great advantages, it can effectively protect the clothes from damage, and there is a set of strict standards and tuning on the core indicators such as steam distance, steam uniformity, temperature control accuracy, clothing protection, anti-scalding design, etc., therefore, the durability and corrosion resistance of such products are stronger.
2. Priority is given to multi-functional garment steamers
Now there are many types of garment steamers, including multi-function garment steamers, vertical garment steamers, handheld garment steamers and so on. One of the most popular types is the multi-functional garment steamer, it has a variety of modes to choose from, flat ironing, hanging ironing, steam ironing, etc., it is small in appearance, more convenient to carry, and will not take up a lot of space. The product performance index of the multi-functional garment steamer is very high, and it is even comparable to the vertical garment steamer, so it has also become the most popular type of garment steamer on the market. The vertical garment steamer has a large water tank in shape, although it can iron multiple pieces of clothes at a time, but the body volume is too large, and it is only suitable for use in places with large spaces such as clothing stores, which is not suitable for ordinary families. The handheld garment steamer is small, the amount of steam is also small, and the ironing effect is not good, so this type of garment steamer is only suitable for ironing a few simple clothes.
3. Products equipped with ceramic glazed panels are preferred
The material of the steam panel of the garment steamer is very important, and the types include stainless steel panels, Teflon panels, ceramic glazed panels, plastic panels, etc. Among them, the ceramic glazed panel is of the best quality, which is not only not easy to deform, strong and durable, but also has a better ironing effect. In addition, the bottom plate of the ceramic glazed panel is smooth and wear-resistant, so the panel is not easy to snag, will not hurt clothes, and is not easy to produce irritating odors.
Products with uniform and stable steam volume are preferred
The steam volume of a high-quality garment steamer must be uniform and stable, because the heating pipes, heating panels, water pumps, etc. are all made of high-quality materials. If the amount of steam is uneven and unstable, it can easily cause damage to the garment.
5. The operation mode should be simple
The operation mode of the garment steamer should be simple. The use of functions should not only be efficient, but also the operation steps and methods should be simple, not too complicated, and the efficiency will be very high when the operation is simple. On the other hand, once the high-temperature steam ironing of the garment steamer encounters an emergency situation such as operation error, it is necessary to respond quickly, and the operation is too complicated, which can easily lead to burns, burn clothes, and cause safety accidents such as fires.
Temperature control accuracyHigh
The main function of the thermostat is to control the heating temperature of the garment steamer, different gears, different fabrics need to choose the corresponding heating temperature, only ironing at the right temperature can achieve the ideal wrinkle removal effect. Inferior garment steamers often have inaccurate temperature control, and the stability of ironing temperature is also very poor, which is easy to cause damage to clothes, and some will also cause fires. Once the temperature is too low, it will also affect the ironing effect.
YesCompatible withClothing of various materials
Nowadays, there are a variety of clothing materials on the market, and it is preferential to choose a garment steamer with stronger compatibility, so that it can iron clothes of different materials and different thicknesses to achieve the maximum value of the garment steamer. In addition, the product must have many gears, large steam volume, many modes (dry ironing, wet ironing, etc.), and many suitable fabrics, only such products can easily cope with all kinds of fabrics, and there are two ironing modes of dry and wet to avoid damage to clothes.
8. Not the more expensive the product, the better
Many big-name garment steamers are inflated, some are sold as high as thousands of yuan, this kind of product is generally more or less the problem of high premium, if only from the product materials, quality and performance, in fact, there is no need for such a high cost, ironing effect and compatibility is not very good, but also will damage the clothes.
Now there are mixed brands of garment steamers on the market, even if you have mastered some purchase points, you are still worried that you will make mistakes. Because many merchants say that their products have good protection, high compatibility, strong performance and good ironing effect. So which brand can really do it?How do we distinguish between good and bad?Below I have made a summary of the core index of garment steaming machine for you, through this summary table we can see which brand is a high-quality and professional garment steamer!
