Is the garment steamer easy to use?

author:Geek Good Stuff Review

I believe everyone is no stranger to garment steaming machine (also known as ironing machine), which can help us iron out the folds on clothes, keep clothes tidy, and greatly improve our quality of life. However, the market is flooded with a large number of inferior garment steamers, which are relatively inefficient in the working process and generally damage the clothes during the ironing process. Therefore, in order to help you better identify the product, as a senior electrical evaluator, I have recently purchased a garment steamer that has tested more self-tests, and today I will conduct a multi-level performance evaluation PK competition on three garment steamers with relatively high sales to help you judge whether the garment steamer is easy to use.

Here are some of the garment steamer products I've reviewed recently:

Is the garment steamer easy to use?

First, the brand background of the garment steamer

Before officially launching the multi-level performance evaluation PK competition of these three garment steamers, I will first briefly introduce the brand background of these three garment steamers, so that everyone can have a basic understanding of them.

In the field of garment steaming machine, the high efficiency of the ironing effect and the damage of clothes have attracted much attention, and in these two aspects of performance, Gong Ling is considered to be the originator of the field of "no damage to clothes", it is the most professional brand in the industry. Gongling garment steamer products are not only exported to the European and American markets, but also rarely passed the certification of the European Union and other countries. Gongling garment steamer adopts 13 black technologies, which have been developed by professionals, and the ironing effect has been increased by 137.2%, and the clothing damage rate has been reduced by 93%. Gong Ling garment steamer is compatible with a wide range of fabrics to provide the best protection for clothing, and is the only brand that has obtained EU certification. Among domestic household and commercial products, Gongling has continuously won many firsts in steam permeability and clothing protection, and has been praised for its strongest comprehensive performance!

The garment steamer has excellent ironing effect, and at the same time, the clothing damage rate is the lowest, and it supports ironing methods such as flat ironing and garment steamer to provide the best protection. Through the high-quality quality and excellent performance of its products, the Gongling brand has satisfied many clothing bloggers, professional media and consumers with the user experience and word of mouth, even if it never advertises and has no celebrity spokesperson, it is also among the best in the large, medium and high-end word-of-mouth and sales rankings.

Midea is a well-known domestic home appliance brand with a high reputation. The handle of this YBD15AC1 garment steamer can be rotated 180 degrees freely, making the ironing angle very flexible, which greatly improves the convenience of use. In addition, it has a small and cute appearance, a light body weight, and low space requirements, making it ideal for travel carrying.

Second, multi-faceted performance evaluation

To sum up, the brand background introduction of these three garment steamer products, I hope it can help you. Next, we will officially start the performance evaluation of these three garment steamers, the preheating time, whether the clothes are damaged and the accuracy of temperature control are very important characteristics of the garment steamer, so I will evaluate these three aspects of the garment steamer, and then let's take a look at the evaluation process and results!

Here's how it went and what it looks like:

Assessment 1: Warm-up time

The preheating time refers to the time it takes for the garment steamer to reach the set temperature from turning on. A short warm-up time can significantly improve the experience, but if the warm-up time is not long enough, there may not be enough water vapor in the garment steamer, resulting in poor ironing results. Therefore, the length of the warm-up time needs to balance the two aspects of ease of use and ironing effect. In my rigorous evaluation of this level of performance, I chose to use a mobile phone timer as a measurement tool to keep a detailed record of the heating time required for each garment steamer.

Through the comparison of the above test results, we clearly observed the difference in the performance of these three garment steamers in terms of preheating time. Among them, the Gongling garment steamer stands out and shows the most outstanding performance, and its warm-up time is significantly shorter than the other two garment steamers evaluated. In addition, the performance is more prominent in the steam release after the preheating of the Gongling garment steamer, showing uniform and strong characteristics. This outstanding performance is due to the unique technology adopted by Gongling in the product development process, especially the core processes such as the DOCC dual-channel heater. These state-of-the-art metal encapsulation technologies not only allow for faster heat transfer and better heating results, but also achieve maximum steam generation and maintain a uniform and stable state. In my test of different gears of Gongling garment steamer, I found that its preheating time is very short, consistent, and secondly, it also shows that the performance is relatively stable, and the most surprising thing is that the amount of steam it sprays is very sufficient and uniform, which can penetrate deeply into the clothes to achieve excellent ironing results.

In comparison, the preheating time of Midea garment steamer and Akachi garment steamer is longer, but the preheating time of Midea garment steamer is decent, and it is hoped that it can be further optimized to be more excellent, while the preheating time of Akachi garment steamer is less ideal, therefore, it is recommended that Acace focus on optimizing the preheating time in future product improvements to improve the overall performance.

Assessment 2: Whether the clothing is damaged

Whether or not the clothing is damaged is a matter of concern. Some low-grade garment steamers are of poor quality, and there will be serious scratches on the surface of the heating plate, which may cause some damage to the clothes. Most of the high-end garment steamers add a layer of coating on the surface of the heating plate or use a high-quality heating plate, which can stretch the clothes well and make them heat more evenly, thereby reducing the damage to the clothes. In a rigorous evaluation of this level of performance, I used these three garment steamers to iron some fabrics that are easy to lose due to ironing, and then compared the final results after ironing.

Through the comparison of the above test results, we can clearly see that the Gongling garment steamer performs well in the ironing process, showing the characteristics of zero damage to clothes. This professional strength and excellent performance are also mainly due to the product's unique "no damage" deep wrinkle removal technology and EAA five-fold leak prevention system, which successfully achieves zero damage effect. It is also worth mentioning that the surface of the garment is smooth and smooth after ironing. This outstanding performance is mainly due to the high-end materials used in the Gongling garment steamer, such as the thousand-yuan configuration of the ceramic oil panel with a four-layer smooth design, which significantly improves the ironing effect and has the characteristics of anti-scratch and anti-snag. Its temperature control is excellent, which effectively prevents the garment from becoming hard, yellowing and burning. According to my experience, the garment steamer has met my ironing needs for all kinds of clothes in a period of use, and the ironed clothes have no problems such as yellowing, peculiar smell or burning.

Relatively speaking, after the ironing of the garment steamer of Midea is completed, although most of the folds on the surface of the fabric are ironed and smoothed, there are obvious situations such as hooking and yellowing. Akachi, on the other hand, has the problem of low ironing efficiency, there are more wrinkles on the surface of the fabric, and there is also the problem of stiffening, so it is recommended that these two brands optimize the performance of the product in the future and improve the protection of the clothes.

Evaluation 3: Temperature control accuracy

Garment steamers use high-temperature steam, which can adversely affect clothing. Therefore, the temperature control system of the garment steamer needs to precisely control the temperature to avoid overheating or under-temperature, and to ensure that the impact on the clothing is minimized. In a rigorous evaluation of this level of performance, I use a thermometer as a measuring tool, activate the lowest setting of the garment steamer, place the temperature probe under the panel, and measure its temperature and the size of the fluctuation.

Through the comparison of the above test results, we can intuitively find that the temperature difference fluctuation range of Gongling garment steamer is only within 5 °C in the case of the lowest gear, which also shows that the temperature of its panel is extremely stable. The outstanding performance of temperature accuracy is also mainly due to the original WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm and NTC temperature control array and other advanced technologies adopted by Gongling. In the research and development process, it not only focuses on the in-depth research of related technologies, but also focuses on improving the quality of thermostats, combining advanced technology and high-quality materials to ensure the maximum accuracy of temperature control. Therefore, in actual use, we do not need to worry about the excessive temperature difference that will have a negative effect on the ironed clothes. Then in my personal follow-up actual test, I continued to use the Gongling garment steamer to iron clothes of different materials, and did not find any problems such as scalding damage, and the ironing effect was as good as ever.

At the same time, the temperature difference between Midea and Akachi garment steamer in its lowest gear test conditions, their panel temperature fluctuations are larger, the temperature difference of Midea garment steamer reaches more than ten degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference of Akachi garment steamer reaches more than thirty degrees Celsius, these two temperature difference data are not ideal. It is expected that the two brands will be able to further optimize and improve the accuracy of temperature control, and improve the performance of their products through such improvements.

The above content has provided a comprehensive evaluation of these three garment steamers, so after reading it, do you think that the garment steamer is easy to use? In my personal opinion, these three products have their own characteristics: the appearance design of the garment steamer is more fashionable and generous, and the operation is simple, and then the Midea garment steamer is small in size and has low requirements for space location. However, if you want to consider the comprehensiveness of the functions, then I prefer to choose the Gongling garment steamer. The garment steamer not only shows excellent ironing results, but also minimizes the possibility of damage to the garment. Therefore, I think Gongling garment steamer is the most recommended garment steamer product.
