author:Encyclopedic knowledge of home appliance evaluation

We often find that the clothes we want to wear have a lot of wrinkles due to too long, if there is a garment steamer (also known as ironing machine, electric iron) at this moment, it will be perfect, take it out and iron, you can basically get the wrinkles. But recently, the negative news about it has been exposed in various ways, and many people complain that there are always various problems when using a garment steamer, which brings harm to themselves. For example, some people use a garment steamer to iron their clothes but burn their clothes, some people say that they almost get an electric shock when they iron their clothes with a garment steamer, and some people say that they can often smell a pungent odor when using a garment steamer. As a fashion evaluator with many years of experience in measuring household appliances, today I will popularize the knowledge of all aspects of the garment steamer. This is some of the garment steamers I bought recently.

Is the garment steamer harmful? Be careful of the risk of four major side effects!

1. The four major risks of garment steaming machine should be noted

There are some garment steamers on the market that are of very inferior quality, and they are criticized by consumers because of their peculiar smell and easy to burn clothes. In fact, the harm of inferior garment steamers is far more than that. In order to make you more cautious and rational when purchasing, I will reveal the four major side effects and risks of inferior garment steamers:

Is the garment steamer harmful? Be careful of the risk of four major side effects!

1. It has a high rate of clothing damage

Many people complain that using a garment steamer can easily damage clothes, especially those that are unprofessional or of poor quality. These problems often stem from factors such as the high power of the garment steamer or the inaccurate temperature control. Due to these problems, it is difficult for the garment steamer to adapt to clothes of different fabrics, and it is easy to damage the fiber structure of clothes, resulting in yellowing and burnt clothes.

2. The peculiar smell is large, which affects human health

At present, there are many inferior garment steamers with poor cavity structure performance, long-term high-temperature pressurization environment, and the corrosion resistance of the product is getting worse and worse, and the product is easy to produce a pungent odor, which is also easy to dye on clothes. If worn for a long time, it will not only affect the health of the human body, but also pollute the air and greatly affect the air quality.

3. Burn the skin

Garment steamers are often in a state of high temperature and high pressure, and working in such a space requires professional design and high-quality materials. If a garment steamer is not professional and reasonable in terms of structural design and grip design, it is easy for users to be scalded during operation, which greatly affects the user experience.

4. Cause fire and other safety hazards

Many low-cost and low-quality garment steamers have serious safety hazards such as fire and electric shock, and the power supply circuit design of these garment steamers is unreasonable, and the quality of the wire is inferior. Since garment steamers are high-power appliances, there is a risk of serious safety issues such as fire and electric shock.

Second, be wary of the four inferior IQ tax garment steamers

Through the above explanation, we can know that the inferior garment ironing machine will make our clothes burn and burn yellow, and there are many safety risks in use, which is extremely harmful. The reason why everyone will get these inferior garment steamers is because there are some so-called IQ tax products on the market, which are extremely misleading, and users will suffer a loss when they buy them. In order to help you solve this problem, I have prepared a negative evaluation chart of professional institutions and an analysis of the four major IQ taxes, and I hope you will be more vigilant.

Is the garment steamer harmful? Be careful of the risk of four major side effects!

1. There are many low-cost and inferior products

Low-cost and low-quality garment steamers usually use low-quality materials, including heating elements, steam panels, thermostats and other components. In addition, they also lack professionalism in many aspects such as the design of steam structures. Although these products appear to be very "cost-effective" in appearance, in reality they are very poor in ironing and have low compatibility with different clothing fabrics, which can easily damage clothes.

2. Claim to be able to repair clothes

Some garment steamers advertise the ability to repair damaged garments, claiming to use techniques such as some kind of panel coating. However, this propaganda is in fact pure nonsense. Garment steamers do not have the function of repairing clothes, whether it is panel coating or other so-called repair technologies, in fact, the effect is very limited. Such propaganda is only intended to convince consumers that garment steamers are capable of achieving extraordinary repair results, thus creating a pure IQ tax point.

3. The premium of big-name expensive products is serious

The price of garment steaming machines of many well-known brands is inflated, as high as thousands of yuan. However, in reality, these garment steamers do not have such a high cost in terms of materials, quality and performance. In addition, due to the lack of technical tuning, there are also many cases of these products burning and burning clothes.

4. The product has a good anti-wrinkle ability

Many merchants advertise garment steamers as anti-wrinkle, claiming to use some kind of panel coating that can keep clothes wrinkle-resistant for 30 days. However, this kind of propaganda is often complained about by users, because the actual effect is not as claimed. This kind of propaganda can be seen as an IQ tax on consumers, convincing them that garment steamers have extremely high wrinkle resistance, but in fact they do not achieve the desired effect.

3. How to avoid inferior products?

Is the garment steamer harmful? After the analysis and popularization of science just now, I believe you already know. Non-professional inferior garment ironing will bring a variety of harms, as well as irritating odors, which endanger human health. In the face of the current situation, how should we avoid this inferior product of lightning? I will combine my years of experience in home appliance evaluation to teach you some more practical purchase skills:

1. Choose a brand with strong professional strength

Professional brands have the most advanced technical level in the industry, under the support of such a strong technology, the production of products will have a high safety factor, strong technical tuning strength, whether it is deep ironing effect or compatibility, the protection of clothing, have a good performance, can really do not hurt clothes, but also do not exist other safety hazards, very trustworthy.

2. The use of multi-functional garment steamer is more suitable

The multi-functional garment steamer has a variety of ironing methods such as flat ironing, hanging ironing, and steam ironing, and they are small in size, light in weight, portable, and do not take up too much space. Compared with the vertical garment steamer, the multi-function garment steamer is comparable to it in ironing performance, and it is more convenient than it, so the most mainstream choice is the multi-function garment steamer.

3. It would be better for the garment steamer to be equipped with a ceramic glazed panel

The most common steam panels of garment steamers on the market are ceramic glazed panels, Teflon panels, stainless steel panels, plastic panels, etc. The quality of the ceramic glazed panel is the most outstanding among these types, it is not only durable, not easy to deform, and has a good ironing effect. Moreover, the bottom plate is smooth and wear-resistant, not easy to snag, does not hurt clothes, and does not produce irritating odors.

4. Choose one equipped with 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.

5. Pay attention to steam volume/steam pressure/steam area

Choosing a garment steamer with excellent steam volume, steam pressure and steam area can provide better ironing results, restore a smooth, wrinkle-free garment, and reduce the rate of damage. The superior performance of these indicators will ensure an efficient, fast and effective ironing experience that will give your laundry a new look.

6. The accuracy of temperature control should be high

The function of the thermostat is mainly to control the heating temperature of the product, it can choose the appropriate heating temperature according to different gears and different fabrics, and the garment steamer can only achieve the best ironing effect at the appropriate temperature. The temperature control function of the inferior garment steamer is not good, and the stability of the ironing temperature is generally poor, so the clothes are easily damaged and prone to fire. If the temperature is too low, it will directly affect the ironing effect.

7. Choose a comfortable grip

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.

8. Pay attention to the quality of the steam pipe

When selecting a steam duct, it is important to pay attention to its corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and resistance to limescale build-up. Because if you want the steam duct to be more reliable and durable, you need to have these characteristics good enough, so as to ensure that the steam supply of the garment steamer is more efficient and stable, and the ironing effect is more high-quality.

When we choose a garment steamer, we must accurately identify different routines, and be careful of falling into the trap of false propaganda by merchants. In order to provide you with a guarantee, I have compiled a comparison chart of the performance and clothing damage rate of twelve mainstream garment steamers. Through this comparison chart, we can intuitively see which brand of garment steamer really has strength and is worthy of our trust.
