Fourth, remember the eight secrets of garment steamer purchase!
Does a garment ironing machine hurt clothes? Garment steamer has many benefits and is loved by many fashion bloggers, but only if it is of good quality. An unprofessional garment steamer not only fails to achieve these effects, but also may cause damage to the clothes and even cause disasters. So how to buy a garment steamer? Here are my eight purchase tips, let's learn them quickly!
Tip 1: Choose a brand with strong professional and technical strength
The professional garment steamer brand has strong technical strength, and has carried out long-term repeated adjustment and optimization of the core parameters of the garment steamer, which can maintain the accuracy of temperature control and steam uniformity, not only the ironing effect is excellent, but also not easy to damage the clothes. Professional brands have been strictly tested for many core parameters such as steam distance, temperature control accuracy, and steam uniformity, and the performance of the garment steamer will not be quickly consumed even if it is used for a long time.
Tip 2: Choose a product equipped with a metal heater
The garment steamer is the "heart" of the garment steamer, so it is recommended that you use a garment steamer equipped with a metal heater. Because the metal heater has fast heat conduction, uniform steam, smaller thermal efficiency loss, better energy storage effect, and is not easy to accumulate scale, it can achieve better ironing effect, reduce the damage caused to clothes, and have a longer service life.
Tip 3: It's best to buy a multi-functional garment steamer
There are many types of garment steamers, such as multi-functional garment steamers, vertical garment steamers, handheld garment steamers, etc. Among them, the multi-functional garment steamer is the best choice, because it has the same excellent ironing performance as the vertical garment steamer, and also has the advantages of small and portable handheld garment steamer, which can support a variety of ironing methods such as garment ironing, flat ironing, and steam ironing at the same time, but the premise is that you use a high-quality garment steamer with a high degree of professionalism!
Tip 4: Don't choose low-priced products
Many garment steamer brands in order to attract consumers with low prices, do not hesitate to sacrifice product quality, the workmanship of the product is very poor, although it is sold very cheap, but the ironing effect is poor, easy to damage clothes, emitting pungent odor and other situations are very common, the service life is generally very short, and it is easy to break.
Tip 5: Be sure to choose a product with good compatibility
It is recommended that you use those garment steamers with large amount of steam, many gears, and many modes (wet ironing, dry ironing, etc.), which can do dry and wet ironing to meet the ironing needs of different fabrics, so that the garment steaming machine not only has a better ironing effect, but also can effectively avoid damage to clothes.
Tip 6: Ceramic glazed panels are preferred
Compared with panels made of other materials, ceramic glazed panels are smoother, which can effectively avoid damaging clothes when ironing, and are not prone to rust or odor, making them easier to clean.
Tip 7: Don't blindly pursue big names
The price of many big-name garment steamers is as high as thousands of yuan, but whether it is materials, quality or performance can not reach such a high cost, most of the high prices are premiums, and merchants are overly keen on marketing and publicity, but the ironing effect and compatibility of garment steamers are not much improved.
Tip 8: Choose a product with a good thermostat
The thermostat can control the heating temperature of the garment steamer, and in the face of different fabrics and gears, different temperatures need to be selected for ironing and wrinkle removal, so the quality of the thermostat is very critical, and the inferior thermostat can not accurately control the temperature, and the temperature is high and low when ironing clothes, which is easy to damage the clothes and cause fires, or the ironing effect is poor at too low temperature.
