With the improvement of science and technology, garment steaming machines, also known as ironing machines and electric irons, have gradually entered people's sight. But there are many people who don't know what the garment steamer is for, but they think that many families are popular, so they follow the trend and buy the product back. However, many people who have used it have reported that the garment steamer will not only produce peculiar smells when used, but also may damage clothes, which is not very easy to use. As a fashion blogger with many years of evaluation experience, I have also evaluated and used a lot of garment steamer products, and I will give you a detailed knowledge about garment steamer. (Here are some of the garment steamers I have used in my evaluation)
1. What is the garment steamer used for?
We are often faced with the situation of wrinkled clothes that have been worn or washed, and this is where the garment steamer comes in handy, it can use the high-temperature steam generated by heating to quickly iron the folds of clothes, and not only that. Next, let's 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, makes the garment smooth again. This technology is not only suitable for all types of clothing, but also for other materials such as curtains and carpets.
In recent years, people's demand for ironing has been growing day by day, and various products have appeared in the market, such as wireless garment steamers, flat garment steamers, handheld garment steamers, multi-function garment steamers, etc. Among them, the multi-functional garment steamer has won the love of many consumers, because it not only has versatility, but also has excellent performance, remarkable results, as well as small size and easy storage characteristics, it can easily cope with various problems of daily ironing. The 4 major benefits of using a multi-function garment steamer are as follows:
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 the design is quite humane, suitable for long-term grip and not tired hands, so that users can easily carry out multi-angle and long-term ironing.
2. The deep ironing effect is first-class, and thick clothes can also be easily handled
The deep ironing function of the professional multi-function garment steamer can easily cope with heavy clothes, such as down jackets and wool coats in winter. No more worrying about ironing in place, even intricate designs can be renewed.
3. It can be compatible with a variety of fabrics
The high-quality multi-functional garment steamer supports a variety of modes such as garment ironing and flat ironing, as well as rich functions such as dry and wet ironing, which is suitable for different life scenarios and clothing fabrics (such as polyester, silk, cotton, etc.), and has stronger compatibility.
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.
Second, please pay attention to the hidden hazards of inferior garment steaming machine
What is the garment steamer used for? We have introduced its many uses and advantages, but there are also many less professional garment steamers 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.
Hazard 1: Burning clothes
Many unprofessional garment steamers have problems such as inaccurate temperature control and high power, which is difficult to be compatible with other fabrics, and will bring incalculable losses to high-end fabrics.
Hazard 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.
Hazard 3: The potential safety hazard is huge
Low-end garment steamers may have defects in wire design and material. The garment steamer is a high-power electrical appliance, and the high palace ling when it is working is very likely to cause the risk of fire and electric shock. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the product meets local electrical safety standards when selecting a garment steamer, and choose products from trusted brands to reduce the potential risk of fire and electric shock.
Hazard 4, will produce irritating odor
The components and materials of the inferior garment steamer are of inferior quality, and after working at high temperature for a long time, it is easy to produce peculiar smells, affect the freshness of clothes, and endanger everyone's health.
3. Expose the five major chaos in the garment steamer industry!
What is the garment steamer used for? Through the explanation of the above content, everyone should also know how harmful the inferior garment steamer is. So I counted a garment steamer negative evaluation chart, from the data it is not difficult to see that the main reason for the harm of the garment steamer is because of improper purchase, that is, the selection of unprofessional garment steamer, if you continue to study, you can find that the improper purchase is because there are many industry chaos in the garment steamer industry, so that it is difficult for everyone to choose high-quality products, let's take a look at the specific industry chaos!
1. Poor professionalism
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. The trend of damage to clothing is obvious
There are many garment steamer brands on the market that have only joined this industry in the past two years, and they do not have the professional research and development strength of garment steamers, most of the products are OEM production, and in recent years, the phenomenon of sacrificing quality to seize the market has intensified, and the clothing damage rate has been soaring.
3. 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.
4. Crazy fight for costs and low prices
A lot of garment steaming machines are promoted every day, the price is very low, and even usually sells for more than 200-300 yuan, but in some Internet celebrity live broadcast rooms, it is directly 59 yuan, 99 yuan to kill the low price, don't be tricked! Behind these ultra-low prices are all kinds of cutting corners, sacrificing quality, not only the ironing effect is very poor, but also very likely to damage the clothes when used!
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.
Garment steamers do 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 found the comparison data of the core indicators of garment steamers from professional institutions, and I hope these data can provide more references for you.
At present, there are many problems such as damage to clothes and poor ironing effect in the garment steamer industry, among the many mixed brands, as the originator of the field of "no damage to clothes", Gong Ling, is recognized as the most professional old brand of clothing technology, and its original HI-VI strong pulse pressurized steam technology, approved DEER-SS fast cycle dynamic compensation technology and other 13 black technologies, which reduce the damage rate of clothing by 93.9%, and can also improve the depth of 137.2%. The ironing effect of complex fabrics, at the same time, the compatibility of various fabrics and clothing has also been improved by 93%, and it is rare to obtain professional certification such as the European Union!
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!
Among other brands, if you want to start with entry-level products, you can take a look at Xiaomi and Midea, the design is okay, of course, the core performance is not as good as the professional mid-to-high-end style. If there is no budget pressure, you can consider the high-end model of Panasonic, and the workmanship is not bad.
Fourth, how to stay away from the harm? Learn eight major purchase strategies
After the core technology of the professional garment steamer has a high safety factor and good ironing performance, it has been recognized by many evaluation experts and clothing designers, which is obviously worth starting, and the inferior garment steamer is not only useless but also easy to damage clothes. In the face of a large number of inferior garment steamers on the market, how do we avoid them and choose a high-quality professional garment steamer? In order to help you make a wise choice, I have summarized eight garment steaming purchase strategies, let's learn Xi together!
Strategy 1: Choose a brand with strong professional strength
The first thing we need to pay attention to when purchasing is the brand and reputation of the garment steamer. The garment steamer of well-known brands has a high safety factor and strong technical tuning strength, and is usually more reliable in terms of quality and after-sales service, which can truly provide an efficient ironing experience without hurting clothes.
Strategy 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.
Strategy 3: Buy a garment steamer with uniform steam volume
The uniformity/stability of the steam volume must be considered, which has relatively high requirements for the heating panel, heating pipe, water pump, etc., if the steam volume is uneven and unstable, it is likely to cause damage to the clothing.
Strategy 4: Optimize the 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 at the same time supports flat ironing, hanging ironing, steam ironing and other methods, which is our best choice.
Strategy 5: Prefer a garment steamer for ceramic glazed panels
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.
Strategy 6: Choose products with good compatibility
It is recommended that you choose those garment steamers with many gears, large steam volume, and many modes (wet ironing/dry ironing, etc.), which can meet the ironing needs of different fabrics, and can be done both dry and wet ironing, so that the product not only has a good ironing effect, but also can effectively avoid damage to clothes.
Strategy 7: Choose a 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. Choosing the right product that you don't get tired of holding for a long time can have a greater chance of avoiding burns and accidents.
Strategy 8: Stay away from low-cost garment steamers
I believe that after reading the above, we have a deep understanding of the truth that there is no good goods cheap, the low-cost garment steamer must be in the material or technology to save costs, often the most damage to the clothes is the low-cost garment steamer.
What is the garment steamer used for? High-quality and professional garment steamer is obviously very useful, allowing us to enjoy the unparalleled high-quality ironing experience it brings, and we don't have to worry about its safety. So if you need one for home use, you might as well choose a multi-functional garment steamer according to the purchase skills mentioned in this article, I believe the effect will make you satisfied!
