CONAIR Turbo Steamer
As someone who can not get their clothing pressed as well as my saviour of a mother can, I decided to finally pick up a compact steamer to be my helping hand. During this years boxing day sales, I managed to score a hand held steamer that I had been previously eyeing up online for sometime. My purchasing habits are so weird when it comes to things like this. I either do a bunch of research and then end up not buying or do ZERO research and completely impulsively buy (working on that). The CONAIR Turbo Extream Steam Handheld was raved about online as one (if not the!) most powerful compact steamers on the market. (grab it online here in Amazon-Exclusive Plum)
I once had a customer tell me “if you can’t shake the wrinkles out after tossing it (an article of clothing) in the drier, don’t buy it” .. now that seems easier said than done. I usually wear a button-down to work on the daily, whether it be linen, cotton, denim, etc, tucking them in and rolling sleeves up can create the worst wrinkles. Within only 40 seconds the steamer brings an impressive 1550 watts of power heating up the water chamber in the handle then reheating at the head before the steam is released to the garment in order for it to remain at a very hot temperature, melting away creases and folds.
After a couple weeks of using, I’ve tested this steamer on a variety of materials and fibres. One of my favourite unexpected perks of this product are the interchangeable attachment’s that clip onto the aluminum plate. The grid-like piece that protects fragile fabric, Bristle Brush that allows the steam to reach deeper into loosened fibres (great for couches, pillows, headboards!), and the most useful in my opinion — The Silicone Band which helps pull fabric for a tighter & easier steaming while a garment is hung. Another built-in accessory (that I am still getting the hang of) is the Quick Crease at the top of the device that clips on to clothing for an instant crisp crease.
Reading reviews online from other consumers and bloggers, they’ve noted that using the steamer over upholstered furniture proves that the device goes the extra mile. Living with a lab-retriever my couch has seen better days. Combining the Bristle Brush and Silicone Band my couch was dog hair free within a matter of minutes as well as deodorizing and giving a fresh look to the entire sofa and pillows. I even took it a step further and steamed my cloth head and footboard of my sleigh bed. My final thoughts? I’m obsessed with this thing — to the point that I asked my roommate if she had anything that needed to be steamed because it’s seriously the easiest thing to do and oddly satisfying.
