This is a must-have gadget this season

Behind every wonderful photography or fashion show is a trustworthy steamer. This hardworking gadget is the best friend of the stylist and can make clothes wrinkle-free. With summer finally here and bars and restaurants-our own private fashion show-reopening, the steam iron is well worth throwing away your iron.

Whether you are wandering around in the most dreamy summer dresses, or like the return of beautiful tops and jeans, use our favorite and tried-and-tested garment steamer to make sure your clothes look their best:

Honestly, ironing can be nerve-wracking and time-consuming. Fortunately, with a steamer, there is no such pressure; the risk of ironing clothes is less, because although the iron uses a hot metal plate to flatten the fabric, the garment steamer does not touch the fabric at all. They just release steam, relax the fabric and make the crease disappear quickly.

This also makes them the perfect gadget for making delicate fabrics-you can say goodbye to the days when you can hang your bridesmaid's dress on the shower door and hope that the steam will quickly deal with these creases.

Steam can also kill bacteria, so you can use a garment steamer for last-minute refreshing between washing or dry cleaning.

There are two types of garment steamers: handheld and vertical. Both have their advantages, but if you are a frequent flyer (or used to be in the pre-COVID era), then we recommend that you buy handheld devices because they can fit snugly against your suitcase without taking up too much space-you won’t Don't sacrifice a pair of high heels, but in order to get the perfect look, it's worth weighing.

However, if you plan to steam your entire wardrobe from now on, the upright style may be the best. They have a larger fuel tank capacity, so you can wear more clothes between fillings, but they can be bulky. Therefore, if you are already filled with clothes in every available corner of the apartment, choose a more compact handheld design.

Steaming is really easy. Just fill the water tank of the steamer with water and plug it in. When the steam starts to rise, adjust the nozzle angle to avoid dripping onto the clothes, and then run the steamer on the clothes in a slow downward manner. The creases should disappear.

Remember to gently hang your clothes tightly on the hanger when you go, and let it cool for a few minutes when you are done; then, your clothes are ready to wear.

We had a lively discussion of 13 different models to judge the effectiveness of each person's crease removal on a series of clothing and fabrics from silk to cotton to linen in our wardrobe. We also studied the speed and ease of use of each product, and whether it is dripping or spitting. This is a list of the best eight garment steamers:

Now that the sun has finally appeared, we were born for linen, but this fabric is notorious for wrinkling. Enter this upright steamer; it removes all creases on the fabric and is impressive and fast in all other respects.

The steam is also mild enough to make fine details, but also effective enough to make our shirts look like ironed. The large water tank means you can walk through many wardrobes at once, and its wheels are easy to carry. 

It is not clear when the steamer is ready, because there are no lights and you cannot control the steam output. It also spit occasionally. In other words, it is a main force that allows you to maintain your clothes easily.
