Variety of models

In order to understand which of the steamers is better and more convenient, you need to know what the varieties are and their main features. Manufacturers present several types of steamers:

• Manual - these are compact, inexpensive models, small in size, equipped with a heating element, like an electric kettle, so they can heat water up to 100 ℃.As a result of the heating and boiling of water, steam appears, which, penetrating through holes specially designated for it, gets on the fabric, smoothing it, disinfecting and destroying odors and various contaminants. During the entire operation, water is consumed quickly, since small reservoirs in hand-held models hold a little liquid, and it lasts for 7-10 minutes, the rate of evaporation of water is 13-20 ml per minute. They can work in continuous mode for 30 minutes.

This type of steamer is convenient for traveling due to its minimal dimensions and lightness.

During operation, basic safety precautions must be observed, for example, you must not turn the device over during operation, since hot water will pour out, get on the skin and you can get a thermal burn. You need to work with clothes located in an upright state;

• Stationary floor-standing steamers for vertical ironing are much larger and more powerful than previous ones. Designed for both home and cleaning companies, trade, sewing workshops. There are gravity (water in a special tank is heated by a heating element, steam is fed by gravity to the iron) and pump (steam is supplied under the influence of pressure using a pump, comes out through the holes on the iron).

Specifications

In order to avoid mistakes when buying a steamer, you can take into account a number of general parametric data typical for many models. These indicators are the main categories of choice.

room	Parameter	Characteristic
1	Power	It is determined by the amount of electricity consumed by the steamer, namely: • 800 W consumption - suitable for ironing delicate linen; • 1200-1500 W - for smoothing any kind of fabric; • more than 2 kW - used for professional purposes.
2	Steam temperature	Basically, steam comes out with a temperature of 98-99 ℃, penetrating into the fibers, smoothing clothes, leveling them, not stretching them, while disinfecting the fabric. Some models heat water over 100 ℃.
3	Duration of continuous work	Manual types of steamers can work in continuous mode for about half an hour, the work of vertical models can be longer.
4	Steaming type	1. Horizontal steamers. 2. Vertical models.
5	Control block	• mechanical block; • automatic control.
6	Steam type	• self-feeding - by gravity; • automated method (under pressure).
7	Functionality	• models with hangers with clips; • in a complete set of mittens for protection from steam; • devices with several modes.
8	Price range	The price tag depends on the power of the device. Several types of steamers are produced: • gravity - they cost about 4 thousand rubles, the power of which does not exceed 1600 W, the amount of steam comes out up to 25 grams per minute, but the speed of this type is low and only one operating mode; • gravity flow at a price of 6 to 9 thousand with a capacity of 1800 W and the amount of steam is produced more - 35-50 g / minute, this is an economical option; • high-quality steamers with a capacity of 1900-2000 W produce a quantity of steam up to 55 g / min, which comes out under pressure. This type is used by professionals. They cost well above 10,000 rubles.
9	Guarantee	1 to 3 years old. It is necessary to be wary of the unlicensed sale of electrical appliances, which has recently been encountered quite often, so it is important to purchase a thing from trusted sellers. It is better if the product is produced by a well-known company.

Thus, the price of an electrical device depends directly on its power, that is, how much electricity it consumes. After all, the more powerful it is, the more it is in demand among buyers, since it copes with its task many times faster, more efficiently, which is worth paying special attention to.

What is the best model to buy, everyone decides independently, everything is in the hands of a particular person, and the more money he has, the more powerful the unit he can afford to buy.

Main selection criteria

All steamers are conventionally divided into several groups, depending on what power they have:

• a budget option - gravity steamers, cost up to 5 thousand rubles, heating elements of which with a capacity of up to 1.6 kW, giving out up to 25 grams per minute. This type, although inexpensive, is suitable for working with thin fabrics, with dense clothes, unfortunately, it will not cope, since the power is not the highest, the speed is low, and there is only one operating mode;
• gravity models with an average price of about 6000-10000 rubles, with a power of no more than 1800 W, they give out steam from 35 to 50 grams per minute, thereby they can cope with thicker fiber, with a high density of fabric;

• appliances in which steam escapes under the influence of high pressure. Their power is higher than the previous ones, it is 1900-2500 W, a pair comes out 55 grams in one minute. They work very quickly, with high quality, they use this type, mainly in production, but they also buy for home use. An important condition is required: the water that is poured into a special tank must be of exceptionally high quality.

There are ironing devices with an adjustable power system. It is convenient, you can customize the modes for yourself, changing it as needed, depending on the density of the material.

The more steam per minute the steamer dispenses, the better. To date, the highest and optimal rate of steam supply is 55 g / min, which gently affects thin fabrics without damaging them at such a steam jet speed, cleaning, not just wetting.

When choosing, you should pay attention to heating elements that are made of the following materials:

• from brass;
• made of stainless steel;
• made of aluminum.

Basically, they are made of the second type of metal or aluminum, but brass is said to be durable, little susceptible to various negative environmental influences, exposure to high temperatures, scale, operating time, and corrosive reactions. Although in fact brass appliances last 5% longer in time, in contrast to steel and aluminum, so it is not worth it to specifically search for this particular type of steamer, since the difference in this indicator is insignificant.

When buying, you need to ask the seller what quality water can be used during work. It is not always possible to fill in expensive models with ordinary tap water, so it will be useful to clarify this point immediately "on the shore".

It is better if the iron itself heats up, then the water that comes up to it will evaporate with small particles of steam, get on the clothes in a more metered manner, and not be sprayed with large drops. And it is necessary to avoid plastic materials on the sole of the iron, because plastic is not durable. If the sole of the iron is metal or ceramic, then you can confidently buy just such a steamer.

How to make the right choice

For travel and various trips, the best option would be handheld steamers, which are compact, they can be easily fit into a suitcase and they will not take up much space in it, and they also weigh little, they definitely will not pull their hands.

They can cope, for example, on a business trip ironing shirts. They are inexpensive, so this budget-friendly way to make your clothes look attractive on departure is worth considering.

If you plan to use these devices occasionally, you can buy an inexpensive vertical device. But they will only cope with thin, soft fibers, knitwear, but they will not master linen or cotton clothes.

Models that deliver steam from 35 g / min will be able to cope with more difficult fabrics. Children's soft toys, as a rule, tend to quickly get dirty and dusty, so you can purchase a more powerful steamer to clean them.

The best at the moment are the models with the supply of steam under pressure, but they are also not cheap.For disinfection of clothes, soft elements of home furniture, children's toys, general cleaning of the apartment, this option of vertical steamers will be just right.

Top manufacturers

The modern market presents to the attention of buyers a huge assortment of steamer models. The most popular of them are several:

• Kromax;
• Super Jet;
• MIE Deluxe;
• Zauber;
• Grand Master;
• Philips.

Thus, the question of which company is better to purchase a steamer will be answered only by the buyer himself, whose decision is influenced, first of all, by his level of awareness of the most famous brands, the quality of their products, and their cost. An important condition is also the individual wishes of a person and his preferences associated with the future model of the steamer. The price depends directly on the set of functionality of a particular model.
