BLACK+DECKER Advanced Handheld Steamer for Clothes, Fast Wrinkle Removal, Auto Shut-Off, Attachments for Delicate Fabrics, Lint Removal, and Steaming Curtains, Upholstry (HGS200)

I did research to find an affordable, effective hand steamer. I needed this to stream clean a bunch of fabric items. It's simple to set up, heats up quickly, and works for a good long time on one little tank of water. It stores easily, too. It seems my model has an updated trigger. It can lock so you don't have to hold it down or it can be unlocked and give you more control over the steam. Recommended!

If you're like me and are somehow terrible at ironing despite practicing, and need a generally wrinkle free shirt, this is probably your best option. Using other steamers has not gone well for me.Very simple to use, following the manufacturer directions yields good results. Minimal drippage and never had an issue in the 6+ months I've used itI hang up shirts on my door hanger and use one hand to maneuver the shirt and the other to steam. Starting with one sleeve then making my way across the shirt, flipping to the back if needed. Keep the fabric flat but don't pull too tight otherwise you'll make creases.It won't get out very small "micro-wrinkles" like an iron will, but takes care of the major stuff. You may find it helps remove wrinkles better with an ironing glove or press pad to be able to apply pressure to the fabric.I wouldn't go so far as to say this is travel friendly unless you have a large suitcase, but I guess it beats having wrinkled shirts.In the photos I left this shirt crumpled up in the dryer instead of hanging it up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I needed to steam my mother "antique" wedding dress from the early 90s. There is quite a lot of beading and mesh along with a 10 ft train. We used the Conair for really difficult creases where we needed more direct air and then this steamer was used to use a wider area faster. Since this didn't have variable heat, we had to be faster or further away.It really produces a lot of steam. I was pleased with the results.Water capacity:Good! Big Tank!Heat up:Faster than the ConairWorks well:Does it's job!

Excellent

Love it! Bought a second one when I dropped it for the umpteenth time on a tile floor.

This steamer is fantastic for certain tasks—it works like magic on suits, jackets, pullovers, and wool coats, leaving them refreshed and wrinkle-free. It’s quick to heat up and the large water tank with a long cord makes it convenient for extended use.However, it’s not a complete alternative to regular ironing. While it excels with delicate and structured fabrics, it struggles with heavier materials like cotton and linen, where wrinkles are more stubborn.If you’re looking for a tool to complement your ironing routine and handle specific items beautifully, this is a great choice. For heavy fabrics, though, a traditional iron is still the way to go.

Este steamer es económico, de buena calidad y muy fácil de usar. Deja la ropa nítida. Lo único que no me gusta es que es pesado y que el agua se evapora muy rápido.

Bought in 2021. Used it couple of times each year for getting out of curtains and table cloths and some clothes too. Worked great then just stopped working. Always used distilled water. Heats but no steam comes out. I'm old fashioned. Expect things to last more than a handful of years especially with such infrequent use.
