However, many people complain about the garment steamer after use, and feel that it will not only produce peculiar smells but also easily damage clothes, so is there any harm in the garment steamer?As a senior fashion evaluator, I often deal with various types of garment steamers, in order to let you have a deeper understanding of the garment steamer, today I will give you a detailed science popularization.
Here are some of the garment steamers I've reviewed).
1. Is there any harm in garment steamer?
Is there any harm in garment steamers?In fact, the garment steamer itself is harmless as an ironing tool, but if you use an unprofessional garment steamer, they are of poor quality and poor ironing performance, and it is likely to cause a variety of hazards, easy to damage clothes, and even cause potential safety hazards. In the picture below, the home appliance blogger explained the harm of the garment steamer.
1. It is easy to damage clothes
One of the common problems caused by garment steamer damage to clothes is excessive power. Some cheap garment steamers may not have the right power and the heat cannot be well controlled. This can lead to overheating, which in turn destroys the fibrous tissue of the garment. Inaccurate temperature control is also a common problem. Some low-quality garment steamers may not be able to accurately control the temperature, resulting in too high or too low temperatures, which can burn the garment. In addition, different garment fabrics require different processing methods, and some unprofessional garment steamers may not be compatible with a variety of fabrics, making it difficult to iron properly.
2. Burns**
The garment steamer heats the water to a high temperature state, and uses high temperature to soften the fiber tissue of the clothes to achieve the effect of ironing the clothes, but if there is a lack of professional structural design and grip design, it is easy to cause the user to burn during operation**.
3. There is a peculiar smell
The production components of inferior products are not very good, or even unqualified, and such garment steamers are prone to pungent odors after a long time of high temperature work. It not only affects the freshness of the clothes, but also endangers the health of the user.
4. There are large potential safety hazards
The unreasonable design of the power supply circuit of the low-cost and inferior garment steamer may lead to overload, short circuit and other problems, thereby increasing the risk of fire. Garment steamers with poor wire quality are unsafe to use and prone to fire. In addition, as a high-power electrical appliance, improper use of garment steamers may also lead to the risk of electric shock.
Second, the four major industry traps behind the inferior garment steamer
Is there any harm in garment steamers?We have made it clear that there are harms of those inferior garment steamers, and the problems that lead to these problems are naturally indispensable within the industry, there are four major industry traps in the garment steamer industry, so that the inferior garment steamer is becoming more and more rampant, and this bad industry trend also makes the evaluation of the garment steamer worse and worse, the following figure is people's negative evaluation of the garment steamer.
1. Products with poor professionalism can also become Internet celebrity products
Many people will do a strategy on the Internet when choosing a garment steamer, some Internet celebrity products have been recommended by many bloggers and even celebrities, but the actual use process has not achieved the ideal effect, in the final analysis, it is because of the lack of professionalism of these popular Internet celebrity products, some businesses have no relevant experience in the garment steamer industry at all, just buy other people's products back to OEM, and then ask Internet celebrity bloggers to recommend and bring goods, how can the quality of this product be guaranteed?Not only is it particularly easy to burn clothes, but there are also many safety hazards.
2. A large amount of clothing is damaged
In the past two years, the garment steamer market has been fiercely competitive, and some new brands have chosen the way of OEM production in order to quickly enter the market. OEM production means that they do not have their own R&D strength, but choose to sell products from other manufacturers under their own brands. This production method makes it impossible for these brands to fully control and supervise the quality and performance of their products. In order to capture the market quickly, some brands may sacrifice the quality of their products and adopt cheap parts and low-quality processes to reduce costs. This leads to a decrease in the durability and stability of the product, while also increasing the risk of damage to the garment.
3. False list publicity
Most people often click into the product details page to view, many people will feel that the details page of various awards and certificates are more convincing, but also a plus for the product, but in fact, many certificates and awards can be bought or customized, and there is no professional certification. This kind of product takes advantage of consumers' comparison psychology and makes some superficial false list information, which is actually very uncredible.
4. Reduce costs and quality
In order to pursue low-price sales, some garment steamer brands will take the way of cutting corners to reduce costs. They may use low-quality components, use inferior workmanship, or even reduce the functionality and performance of the product. This leads to a decrease in the quality of the product, poor ironing results, and an increased risk of damage to the garment. When buying a garment steamer, we should be wary of too low**. If a brand of garment steamer** is much lower than other similar products, then there is likely to be a quality problem. It is advisable to choose brands that have a good reputation and credibility, and try to avoid buying low-priced products.

When in use, the user only needs to aim the nozzle at the folds of the garment, and the hot water vapor released from the nozzle will quickly penetrate the garment and soften the deep fibrous tissue.

1. The best steam permeability, the best compatibility with clothing, and the lowest damage rate of clothing. Its performance is very good, and it can be called against the sky.
At the same time, it supports flat ironing, hanging ironing, and steam ironing, due to the relative complexity of the thin and thick clothes, fabric material, weaving, density, technology, material splicing, wrinkle resistance, air permeability, etc., the general garment ironing machine can only iron simple clothing fabrics, while Gongling is compatible with 99% of clothing fabrics, it can realize the effect of deep wrinkle removal of commercial ironing machines at the level of 1,000 yuan and has the small size of a handheld garment steamer!
It began to lay out B2C household appliances many years ago, and did not blindly pursue good-looking appearance to cater to the party's pursuit of appearance design, but specialized in technology that does not hurt clothing technology and deep ironing performanceIt has pioneered innovative black technologies such as HI-VI strong pulse pressurized steam technology, approved DEER-SS fast cycle dynamic compensation technology, WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm + NTC temperature control array, etcAt the same time, high-end materials such as thousand-yuan machine-level all-copper fireproof wires and four-layer smooth design ceramic glazed panels are usedAfter more than 5 years of material safety and anti-attenuation designIn terms of core steam penetration, temperature control accuracy, steam distance, and compatibility with different clothing fabrics, it is recognized as the best in 1,000 yuanEven if it never advertises, it has become popular because of the strong recommendation of many home appliance bloggers and clothing designers, and it dominates the list of mid-to-high-end sales word-of-mouth all year round!

Fourth, keep in mind the eight ** purchase skills, help win the professional garment steamer!
Is there any harm in garment steamers?If we start with a professionally optimized, high-quality garment steamer with excellent performance, we can use it with confidence and don't have to worry about this problem at all. But it is not easy to succeed, because many merchants have endless traps, and if you want to avoid these traps, you need to keep in mind the eight ** buying skills I will talk about next:
1. Choose a brand with strong professional strength
The reason why the products of professional brands are trustworthy is because professional brands have the most advanced technical level in the industry, and with professional level, the products produced will have a high safety factor and strong technical tuning strength, whether it is deep ironing effect or compatibility, and the protection of clothes, they have good performance, and can really not hurt clothes, and there are no other potential safety hazards, which is very trustworthy.
2. It is best to use a multi-function garment steamer
The water tank of the vertical garment steamer is relatively large, and it can iron more clothes at one time, but the portability is poor, and it is not suitable for many scenes. Only the multi-functional garment steamer with the advantages of both is the most mainstream choice, it supports a variety of ironing methods such as garment ironing, flat ironing, steam ironing, etc., light weight, small size, portable and convenient, and has the same hot performance as the vertical garment steamer.
3. Ceramic glazed panels are more suitable
Among all the vapor panels, I think the ceramic glaze panel is the best, it not only has a smooth surface, it is neither hooked but also very smooth to use, it will not scratch the clothes, and more importantly, it is not easy to deform and has a longer service life.
4. Choose a garment steamer equipped with a high-quality metal heater
As the "heart" of the garment steamer, the choice of heater material directly determines the quality of the garment steamer, the metal heater on the market is the best choice, equipped with this kind of heater products, thermal efficiency, loss, energy storage effect, heat conduction speed, steam uniformity, etc. have better performance, good performance and is not easy to damage clothes.
5. The accuracy of the temperature control system is the key
A good garment steamer should have a precise temperature control system that can adjust the temperature according to different clothing materials, such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc. This ensures that the garment is ironed at the right temperature to avoid damage.
6. The steam volume is stable and uniform
When in use, when the amount of steam emitted is stable and uniform, it can protect the fiber tissue of the garment and make the structure of the garment better ironed.
7. Not the more expensive the garment steamer, the better
The expensive garment steamer has more cost space than the low-cost garment steamer, but these extra parts do not mean that they will be put into the improvement of materials and technology, at the same time, the first garment steamer also has a premium phenomenon, which is likely to not achieve the effect of value for money, and even there are many ** garment steamers also have the problem of less steam and inaccurate temperature control, so it is not that the more expensive the garment steamer, the better.
8. Choose products with good compatibility
It is necessary to try to choose garment steamer products with more gears, large steam volume, more modes (dry ironing, wet ironing, etc.), and many clothing fabrics, which can not only control the ironing needs of various fabrics, but also meet the different dry and wet ironing needs, so that not only the ironing effect is good, but also effectively avoid damage to the clothes.
