Steaming options
Hang your clothes horizontally on a clothes hanger and attach it to a door/door handle, or lay them flat vertically (especially useful for steaming cuffs, collars or stubborn wrinkles) on a bed or table. Tip: place a towel underneath. Thanks to the telescopic rod, the Professional garment steamer can be adjusted to your ideal height. -
Water tank
Fill the water tank with tap water or distilled water. The handheld steamer's water tank holds 100ml of water, while the Professional garment steamer holds 3 Litres. The handheld steamer provides around 7 minutes of steaming, while the Professional garment steamer provides 70 minutes. -
Heat-up time
Plug your steamer into the socket and let the device heat up. The handheld steamer is ready to use within 20 seconds, while the Professional steamer is ready within 45 seconds. -
Steam button and steam settings
With the handheld steamer, you need to hold down the steam button to produce steam. With the Professional garment steamer, you press the on/off button once and the steamer produces continuous steam. The handheld steamer has no different steam settings, while the Professional steamer has 2. -
Steam power
The Professional garment steamer is 5x as powerful as the handheld steamer. The handheld steamer's steam output is 30g/min, while the Professional steamer's is 50g/min. - Compact and space-saving
With a garment steamer, you no longer need an iron or ironing board. The handheld steamer in particular takes up no space in your home. This also makes it an ideal device to take with you when travelling. The Professional garment steamer, on the other hand, requires a little more space. -
Easy and quick
Place the steam head against your clothes and move it over your clothes in strokes. Voilà, wrinkle-free clothes in no time! If desired, use the STEAMRS steam glove to apply extra pressure to the fabric and make removing wrinkles even easier.
