For years, one of the only ways to ensure your clothes were crisp and wrinkle-free was to rely on an iron and an ironing board. But why use two tools when one can get the job done and save space? If you are hoping to toss two gadgets in favor of one, you might consider this foldable handheld steamer that's on sale for $26.
One of the perks of using a steamer is you can erase creases from your clothes while they are on a hanger versus having to lay each piece flat on an ironing board. The Beautural Travel Steamer checks this box. But it also checks many more because it completely collapses to become a sleek and small device that you can pack inside your suitcase. Another bonus? It heats up and is ready to use in 30 seconds, according to the brand—and you simply press and hold a button for continuous steam.
Buy it: $26 (was $30); amazon.com.
"It's super easy to fill up with water with the detachable water tank, and it heats up very quickly," wrote one five-star reviewer who said they were "so impressed with the way it's designed."
Another shopper said, "I was also shocked at how well and fast it de-wrinkled a pair of shorts that I'm certain were shoved in the back of a drawer—I'm talking creased." They also liked that it comes with a travel bag and is safe to use around kids because you need to continuously press the button for steam to come out. "This is a little life-saver for the mama-on-the-go!"
The compact steamer holds two-thirds of a cup of water inside its clear leak-proof tank, so you can see when you need to refill it. Plus, the 8-foot cord provides plenty of leeway to use the steamer in your preferred spot. The lightweight tool has a stainless steel plate, and it's ideal to use on all fabrics, including upholstery.
"This is such a neat steamer! It's convenient for travel and heats up within seconds," said another reviewer who confirmed the leak-proof tank lives up to its promise. While a different shopper said, "I have tried so many different steamers. This is the best one I ever had."
Whether you are planning to take the Beautural Travel Steamer with you on the road or you're simply looking for a tool that's lightweight, portable, and easy to use, don't miss out on buying this under-$30 find while the sale lasts.
