Garment steamer, also known as ironing machine or electric iron, is a household appliance that uses high-temperature water vapor to iron clothes. In recent years, with the continuous development of the garment steamer industry, many kinds of garment steamers have been launched, among which the more popular one is the multi-functional garment steamer. But many people do not know what the multi-functional garment steamer is for? In fact, this garment steamer is based on the ordinary garment steamer for multi-mode gear ironing upgrade, many people want to buy it fresh, but after using the feedback that it will not only produce peculiar smell, but also may damage clothes. As a senior fashion evaluator, I have also evaluated and used a lot of garment steamers, and today I will give you a detailed knowledge about multi-functional garment steamers.
(Here are some of the garment steamers I have used in my evaluation)
1. What is the use of the multi-functional garment steamer?
What is the use of multi-functional garment steamer? In order to meet people's gradually increasing ironing needs, the garment steamer market has made improvements on the basis of the traditional garment steamer, and launched a multi-function garment steamer, which can not only bring a better ironing experience, but also have various benefits. Before we get into what it's used for, let me take a look at how it works.
When the garment steamer is energized, the heater inside can quickly convert the water into high-temperature and high-pressure steam. This scorching steam acts directly on the folds of the garment through cleverly designed pipes and nozzles. The continuous high-temperature steam quickly softens the fibers of the garment, which, in combination with the user's ironing action, can restore the garment to a new condition. And it can be used not only for all types of clothing, but also for special materials such as curtains and carpets.
At present, there are several categories of garment steamers that are more popular in the market, including ordinary garment steamers, wireless garment steamers, flat ironing garment steamers, multi-functional garment steamers, etc. Among them, the multi-functional garment steamer is highly recommended for its excellent ironing effect. Let's popularize science, what are the uses of a professional and high-quality multi-functional garment steamer:
1. Easy to operate, time-saving and labor-saving
Although many people have the need to iron clothes, they think that the garment steamer is bulky and inconvenient, so they give up buying. The professional multi-functional garment steamer has upgraded and optimized the original bulky and redundant body structure, making the body more compact and portable, and at the same time, it can be grasped for a long time without tiring hands, so that users can easily iron at multiple angles and for a long time.
2. The deep ironing effect is first-class, and thick clothes can also be easily handled
The professional multi-functional garment steamer is no longer just a simple ironing tool, but also a powerful assistant to add convenience to the family. Its deep ironing function is excellent, and it is easy to handle heavy clothes, such as wool coats and down jackets in winter. No more worrying about ironing in place, even intricate designs can be renewed.
3. Widely compatible with various fabrics
With the increasing variety of clothing fabrics, the professional multi-functional garment steamer has achieved a wider range of compatibility, and its versatility and multiple modes make all kinds of clothing fabrics can be ironed as they should, which can support both traditional flat ironing, hanging iron, dry ironing and wet ironing and other modes. This makes it easy for users to iron their clothes in different situations, which is very convenient and fast.
4. Sterilization and dust removal, disinfection of clothes
The high-temperature steam emitted by the multi-functional garment steamer when ironing clothes not only has an ironing effect on clothes, but also has the function of sterilization and disinfection, which can effectively kill bacteria and viruses on clothes and improve the hygiene of clothes.
2. What are the hazards of unprofessional multi-functional garment steaming machines?
After reading the above description, we have to admit that the multi-function garment steamer does have great use, but there are also many people who have the problem of damaging clothes after using the garment steamer. This is mainly because there are many garment steamers with low professionalism on the market, which not only have poor ironing effect, are easy to burn yellow or burn clothes, and may even burn the skin, but also have many potential safety hazards. The following chart is the opinion of professional home appliance review bloggers.
1. Damage to clothing
Inferior multi-functional garment steamers often have problems such as excessive power and inaccurate temperature control, which leads to the fact that the fiber tissue of the clothes is easily damaged when the product is used, and the clothes are yellowed or even burned, and these damages are often irreversible.
2. Burn the skin
Garment steamers use high temperature to iron clothes quickly, so the scientific and rational design is very important. If the product lacks professional structural design and grip design, it is easy for the user to be burned during operation.
3. Radiate a pungent odor
Some garment steamers with poor quality use substandard materials in the production process. After a long period of high temperature work, these materials may produce a pungent odor, which not only affects the freshness of the garment, but can also cause harm to the user's health.
4. Cause fire and electric shock
In order to save costs, many low-cost and inferior garment steamers even use inferior wires and circuits, which greatly affects the performance and safety of the product, and this inferior product is easy to cause fire, electric shock and other accidents in the process of high temperature and high pressure, which is very dangerous.
3. Expose all kinds of bad practices in the garment steamer industry
What is the use of the multi-functional garment steamer? The multi-function garment steamer is favored by the majority of consumers because it is compatible with more fabrics, convenient and efficient to use, resulting in a surge in purchase demand in the market. However, consumer feedback is deeply polarized. In order to explore the root cause of this problem, I have compiled the garment steamer reviews in the full price range and come to the following conclusions:
1. Products with poor professionalism can also become Internet celebrity products
Some Internet celebrity brands of multi-functional garment steamers, their brands do not have professional experience in the field of garment steamers, often OEM sales, and then ask Internet celebrity bloggers to recommend and bring goods to get sales, this product is not only particularly easy to burn clothes but also has many potential safety hazards.
2. Crazy fight to reduce cost and quality
Now more and more multi-functional garment steamers on the market have begun to fight a price war, many businesses have obtained a lot of income and sales by selling at low prices, but this low-cost product is achieved by cutting corners at low cost, and there is no good quality, and the price war has made a large number of inferior multi-functional garment steamers flow into the market.
3. The trend of damage to clothing is obvious
There are two reasons why the risk of blindly buying multi-functional garment steamer products is so big, one is that more and more inexperienced garment steamer industry merchants in the industry have chosen to join the market by OEM, and the other is that the price war is intensifying, which together has caused the trend of garment steamer industry damage to clothes.
4. Spend money to make false list publicity
In addition to the grass recommendation on the Internet, there are many people who will choose the garment steamer by browsing the details page, everyone tends to choose the product details page to appear more professional products, awards and certificates are undoubtedly very good for the product, but in fact, many certificates and awards can be bought with money, and there is no gold content.
5. The raw materials of the product are only superficial
I believe that many people have such an experience, but the experience of using a good product is not as good as the original when buying it again, the reason is that in order to save costs, some businesses replace the original with cheap materials and structures in the production of multi-functional garment steamers in later batches, resulting in the product looks the same, but in fact, the experience effect gap is huge.
Fourth, the eight essential purchase skills of the multi-functional garment steamer
What is the use of the multi-functional garment steamer? It is not only convenient and fast, but also can iron clothes efficiently, allowing us to enjoy a more outstanding ironing experience. But at the same time, there are many inferior multi-functional garment steamers on the market, which are not only easy to produce peculiar smells, but also easy to destroy the fiber tissue of clothes, which brings a lot of trouble to our lives. So, how can you buy a good-to-use multi-functional garment steamer? The following summarizes eight professional purchase skills for you:
1. Choose a brand with strong professional strength
The reason why the products of professional brands are trustworthy is because professional brands have the most advanced technical level in the industry, and with professional level, the products produced will have a high safety factor and strong technical tuning strength, whether it is deep ironing effect or compatibility, and the protection of clothes, they have good performance, and can really not hurt clothes, and there are no other potential safety hazards, which is very trustworthy.
2. Preferred multi-functional garment steamer
There are many types of garment steamers, such as multi-function garment steamers, vertical garment steamers, handheld garment steamers, etc. At present, the most popular and advanced type on the market is the multi-functional garment steamer, which not only has the same good performance as the vertical garment steamer, but also has the characteristics of small and portable handheld garment steamer, and supports flat ironing, garment ironing, steam ironing and other methods.
3. Choose a multi-functional garment steamer equipped with a high-quality metal heater
The choice of heater material directly determines the quality of the garment steamer, the metal heater on the market is the best choice, equipped with this heater products, thermal efficiency, loss, energy storage effect, heat conduction speed, steam uniformity, etc. have better performance, good performance and not easy to damage clothes.
4. Choose a garment steamer with accurate thermostat
Whether the temperature control of the garment steamer is accurate determines whether the garment will be damaged when ironing different clothing fabrics, and it is necessary to choose a garment steamer with good temperature controller quality and professional technical adjustment to not easily damage the clothes.
5. Choose a multi-functional garment steamer that is comfortable to hold
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.
6. Stay away from low-cost multi-functional garment steamers
I believe that after reading the above, we have a deep understanding of the truth that there is no good goods, and the low-cost multi-functional garment steamer must be a cost-saving material or technology, and the most damaged clothes are often the low-cost garment steamer.
7. Garment steamer for ceramic glazed panels is preferred
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.
8. Choose a multi-functional garment steamer with stable heating
In the ironing process of the garment steamer, the specific embodiment is that the steam temperature will rise and fall, which will increase the possibility of damage to the clothes, and the quality of the heating tube will directly determine the heating stability of the multi-functional garment steamer, so the selection of the multi-function garment steamer should focus on the stability of heating.
The multi-function garment steamer does have many advantages, but we can't be blind when buying. Nowadays, many garment steamer merchants are advertising their products that do not hurt clothes, but in fact, many of them are inferior products, and their clothing damage rate is very high. In order to allow you to choose a high-quality garment steamer that really has a good ironing effect and does not damage clothes, I have found a comparison data of the core indicators of garment steamers from professional institutions, hoping that these data can provide you with more references.
At present, the garment steamer industry generally has problems such as products that are easy to damage clothes, irritating odors, and poor deep ironing effect, and the originator of the field of "no damage to clothes" Gong Ling has exploded, as the most professional brand of clothing technology, Gong Ling has been exported to Europe and the United States for many years, and is one of the very few brands that have obtained EU certification, and it has created 13 black technologies such as HI-VI strong pulse pressurized steam technology, approved DEER-SS fast cycle dynamic compensation technology, and the ironing effect of deep and complex fabrics has been increased by 137.2% The brand has the best performance among all domestic household and commercial garment steamers/garment steamers, with excellent comprehensive performance, and has won many firsts, such as the highest continuous steam density, the first steam pressure, the best steam permeability, the best compatibility with clothes, and the lowest clothing damage rate. Its performance is very good, and it can be called against the sky.
The brand also supports flat ironing, hanging ironing, steam ironing, etc., due to the relative complexity of clothing, fabric material, weaving, density, process, material splicing, wrinkle resistance, air permeability, etc., the general garment steamer can only simply iron the fabric of the garment, while Gongling is compatible with 99% of the clothing fabric, it can achieve the effect of deep wrinkle removal of the thousand-yuan commercial garment steamer and has the small size of the handheld garment steamer!
It began to lay out B2C life appliances many years ago, and did not blindly pursue good-looking appearance to cater to the party's pursuit of appearance design, but is a technical brand specializing in non-damage clothing technology and deep ironing performance, in order to "do not hurt clothes" under the fever performance and high durability, the first HI-VI strong pulse pressurized steam technology, approved DEER-SS fast cycle dynamic compensation technology, WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm + NTC temperature control array and other innovative black technologies, and at the same time the use of thousand-yuan machine-level all-copper fireproof wire, Four-layer smooth design ceramic glaze panel and other high-end materials, after more than 5 years of material safety and anti-attenuation design, in the core of the steam penetration, temperature control accuracy, steam distance, and compatibility with different clothing fabrics, etc., it is recognized as the most outstanding within 1,000 yuan!
As far as many other brands are concerned, if the budget is low, you can consider starting with Xiaomi, Supor and other entry-level models, and the basic brand is okay. If you have a sufficient budget, you can take a look at the high-end garment steamers of Panasonic and Daewoo, which have a more exquisite design and a good grip.
5. Precautions for garment steamer maintenance
What is the use of the multi-functional garment steamer?Professional and high-quality multi-function garment steamer can indeed maximize its usefulness and bring great convenience to daily life, but in order to ensure that the product can continue to play its excellent performance and prolong its service life, we need to maintain it correctly. Next, I will give you a detailed science popularization of how to properly maintain the garment steamer.
1. It is forbidden to enter the water
The power cord and plug of the garment steamer must not be in contact with water when in use, otherwise it is easy to cause the phenomenon of garment steamer failure, shorten the service life of the garment steamer, and even cause potential safety hazards such as leakage.
2. It is forbidden to contact flammable materials
As an electrical appliance, especially a very high-power electrical appliance, once the garment steamer comes into contact with flammable materials, it will bring unbearable consequences, and when it is not in use, it should also be careful to avoid being close to flammable materials.
3. Regularly remove scale
The use of garment steamer needs to add a certain amount of water to the water tank, but the water will not be used up every time, and the remaining water will form scale in the water tank after long-term use, blocking the steam port of the garment steamer, and the most intuitive impact on the garment steamer is that its steam injection amount will be reduced, resulting in poor ironing effect and increasing the risk of damaging clothes.
4. Regular dust removal
The lower surface of the garment steamer is easy to accumulate a large amount of dust on the lower surface of the garment steamer for a long time, and the dust is easy to penetrate into the internal structure through the gap of the garment steamer, and it is easy to block the steam outlet of the garment steamer, if it is not cleaned up in time for a long time, it will lead to the lack of original precision in the structure of the garment steamer, and the amount of steam will also be reduced due to the blockage of the steam outlet, which greatly increases the possibility of injuring the clothes, so it is very necessary to carry out regular dust removal on the garment steamer.
Although there are some inferior products on the market, as long as we master the correct purchase skills and maintenance methods, we can enjoy a more convenient and efficient ironing experience while avoiding the harm of these inferior products.
