Garment steamer (ironing machine, electric iron) can quickly iron wrinkled clothes smoothly, in recent years by more and more people love and use, but when it comes to the harm of garment steamer, many friends feel unfamiliar, because they do not know the harm of garment steamer, but do not know how to avoid harm, many people therefore mistakenly choose an unprofessional garment steamer and encounter a series of problems such as damage to clothes, poor ironing effect, and irritating odor. As a senior home appliance evaluator, today I will talk to you about the knowledge of garment steamer, and tell you some skills to master when buying a garment steamer.
(The picture above is some of the garment steamer styles I have used)
First, the four disadvantages of inferior garment steamer
Recently, the Internet has been filled with a large number of complaints about the garment steamer, and the big reason is that many people do not know what are the adverse consequences of buying an inferior garment steamer. Next, let's take a look at the hazards caused by inferior garment steamers.
Hazard 1: There is a risk of burning the skin
Since garment steamers iron clothes and remove wrinkles by means of high-temperature steam heating, those inferior garment steamers with unscientific and reasonable grip design or defects greatly increase the possibility of scalding the user's skin.
Hazard 2: There are potential safety hazards
Some low-end inferior products are not professional enough in terms of wire design and material, which makes their products have great defects, and garment steamer is a high-power electrical appliance, which is difficult to ensure that there will be no fire, electric shock and other safety hazards when working.
Hazard 3, damage to clothing
Many people complain that the ironing will damage the clothes, especially the low-cost and inferior products, often have problems such as high power, unstable heating, and low steam volume, and often burn their precious clothes to yellow and scorch.
Hazard 4, emitting a pungent odor
In order to save costs, some inferior garment steaming machines use some materials that have not passed safety inspection standards in production, and this unqualified material, because it is not resistant to high temperature and corrosion, will produce unpleasant odor after a long time of high temperature work, which not only affects the freshness of the clothes, but also endangers the health of users.
Second, there are five types of IQ tax products that must not be used
What are the dangers of using a garment steamer? Judging from the above explanation, there are still many drawbacks and side effects of the garment steamer, and each of these hazards is worthy of everyone's attention. For the sake of our clothing and health, we must figure out what are the reasons for the harm caused by the garment steamer. The following figure is a statistical chart of the negative evaluation of the garment steamer from a professional institution, the data reflects the inferior and unprofessional garment steamer is the main cause of the harm of the garment steamer, in order to help you avoid lightning, I combined the data to summarize five types of IQ tax products, you must be careful.
1. Low-cost and low-quality products
The selection of materials for low-priced and inferior products is relatively poor, and inferior steam panels, heating pipes, thermostats, etc. are generally used, and they are not very professional in steam structure design. It seems to be "cost-effective", but in fact, this kind of garment steamer has a very poor ironing effect, and the compatibility with different clothing fabrics is also relatively poor, and it is easy to damage clothes when used.
2. Lifetime warranty or long warranty
Many low-cost and inferior garment steamer brands play the gimmick of "lifetime warranty or ultra-long warranty", but don't believe it, on the one hand, the lifetime warranty merchant can run away at any time, on the other hand, the garment steamer itself is very inferior, it seems to take advantage, but the ironing effect is poor, and it is easy to damage the clothes, and it will be damaged in a few months.
3. Garment steaming function can be wrinkle-resistant
If you hear that there are garment steamer merchants emphasizing that their products can be wrinkle-resistant, you must pay attention to it, this is a big IQ tax, there are many merchants who advertise the use of XX panel coating during production, which can make clothes 30 days strongly wrinkle-resistant, but after buying it home and using it, it is found that it is simply a lie, which is very many users who complain.
4. Provide a variety of gear modes
Many businesses will take the richness of multi-gear and multi-mode as the publicity point of the garment steamer, but in fact, too many stalls will increase the complexity of the operation, and it is best to choose the mainstream garment steamer with three to four gears and modes.
5. Don't blindly rely on brand effect
In fact, this kind of high-priced products do not have such a high cost in terms of materials, quality and performance, and this kind of product is often burned and scorched because the mind is not on technical tuning. So don't pay too much attention to the brand effect, and buy something that is not easy to use at a high price, and the gains outweigh the losses.
3. What are the benefits of using a multi-function garment steamer?
What are the dangers of using a garment steamer? Inferior and unprofessional garment steamers are indeed not very effective, and there may be hazards such as damage to clothes, peculiar smell, and even potential safety hazards.

When using, spray on the wrinkled place, this hot water vapor will quickly contact with the clothes, soften the deep fiber structure of the clothes, and then through the gentle "pull" and "pressure" action, so that the clothes become smooth and smooth, and the hot water vapor can play a role in cleaning, sterilization, as long as water is added, the current will spray high-pressure steam, spraying on the folds of the clothes, to achieve a smooth and soft effect. The product is suitable for ironing and sterilization of clothing, curtains and carpets of various materials, which is easy to operate and saves energy and time.
As the public has become more and more interested in the types of ironing clothes and the scenes that need to be ironed, businesses have also launched many types of garment steaming machines. Among them, the multi-functional garment steamer has good ironing performance and is easy to carry, which is very popular with the public.

1. Buy a brand with a high degree of professionalism
Professional garment steamer brands usually have strong technical strength, and through continuous technical tuning, they ensure the accuracy of temperature control and steam uniformity, ensuring that the product not only has excellent ironing results, but also does not cause damage to clothes. The steam distance, steam uniformity, temperature control accuracy and other parameters of these brands have been rigorously tested to ensure that the performance of the products will not be quickly lost in long-term use.
2. Metal heaters are more recommended
The garment steamer uses a metal heater to conduct heat more quickly and evenly, and it is not easy to rust, which reduces the generation of scale and can effectively prolong the service life of the garment steamer.
3. Choose a garment steamer with accurate thermostat
Because different clothing fabrics have different requirements for ironing temperature, the temperature control accuracy of the garment steamer directly determines the probability of clothing damage.

Compared with other panels, ceramic glazed panels will be smoother, less likely to damage clothes, less likely to rust due to long use, less prone to odors, and easier to clean.

As a handheld household appliance, the grip is the first experience that precedes the ironing experience. Therefore, it is very necessary to choose a product that is comfortable to hold. Only by choosing the right product that you will not get tired of holding for a long time, you can have a greater chance of avoiding burns and accidents.
7. Choose products with good compatibility
It is necessary to try to choose garment steamer products with more gears, large steam volume, more modes (dry ironing/wet ironing, etc.), and many clothing fabrics, which can not only control the ironing needs of various fabrics, but also meet different dry and wet ironing needs, so that not only the ironing effect is good, but also effectively avoid damage to the clothes.

There are many types of garment steamers, among which the multi-functional garment steamer is the most recommended, it supports a variety of ironing methods such as garment ironing, flat ironing, steam ironing, etc., both the same comfort performance as the vertical garment steamer, as well as the small and portable characteristics of the handheld garment steamer, which is the most mainstream choice, of course, we should use professional brand products!
