Conair Travel Steamer for Clothes - Mini Garment Steamer, Fabric Steamer in Green by Travel Smart - Packable in Carry On Luggage - Dual Voltage

I recently took the Conair Travel Steamer for Clothes on my trip to France, and I must say, this "little" steamer truly packs a punch! With the recent bed bug scares in Paris and other cities, I found an unexpected but incredibly useful application for it - steaming hotel beddings. The steamer worked wonders in providing peace of mind and ensuring a clean, bug-free environment. But the real test came with my decision to travel light, carrying only a single bag for my two-week journey. This meant I had to regularly steam out wrinkles from my clothes and hand wash them as needed. The Conair steamer was up to the task every single day. Not only did it effortlessly smooth out wrinkles, but it also did an excellent job in airing out any stale smells. My outfits felt, looked, and smelled fresh and new again, as if they had just come from a professional laundry service. What impressed me most about this steamer is its compact size, which makes it incredibly easy to pack, and its powerful performance, which rivals larger, bulkier steamers. It heats up quickly and provides a consistent steam flow, making it super efficient and easy to use. Overall, the Conair Travel Steamer is a travel essential I didn't know I needed but now can't imagine traveling without. It’s perfect for anyone looking to keep their clothes fresh and wrinkle-free on the go. Highly recommend for its versatility, effectiveness, and ease of use!

We needed a steamer to use in Europe that could run on single-pole 220V with a standard 110 plug, and this was one of the only things that could do it. Holy cow, it worked marvelously. Yes, the thing itself gets quite hot. It's a very basic design, but dog gonnit it works. We used it to steam a bunch of linen during a summer pilgrimage in France and Italy and this thing was perfect. Compact enough that you can bring it with you, cheap enough you don't care if you ever have to use it again lol. As I said, we were wearing lots of linen (which is wrinkly as can be) and this thing worked marvelously getting the wrinkles out. Item of note - once it runs out of water, if you need to add more water, you have to unplug it (there is no on/off switch) and open it using a towel (or some other insulator) as the thing gets QUITE hot.

We are about to embark on a European trip and wanted a portable steamer. When you are limited by weight, you quickly discover that "smaller-is-better". I purchased the Samsonite and the Conair at the same time to evaluate them both. No question the Samsonite is smaller and lighter - but only marginally so. I pulled a cotton shirt - fresh out of the dryer and wrinkled, and experimented. They did indeed both work. The Samsonite took a bit longer to heat up - minute or so - and put out steam that you could not hold your hand against to the tune of about 3 inches. The Conair heated up much faster and put out steam that you could not hold your hand against to about 4-5 inches. The Conair just gets hotter faster. As the Samsonite moved on, the steam got a bit less and less. Before it was empty, it was not putting out much steam at all - and not enough to "iron" a shirt. You would have had to refill the Samsonite (refilling not a problem with either machine) to get enough proper steam to finish the shirt completely - but no question it will do the job. The Conair is a bit larger, and perhaps a tad bit heavier - but again - not appreciably so. The Conair heated very quickly and put out a lot of steam - all the way to the end of the tank. Without a doubt it got hotter and projected the steam further from the unit. The steam head is not as wide as the Samsonite, but the vents on the Conair are flared - so I would judge the width of coverage to be about the same. The amount of steam though is another issue, and to me, the more important issue. There is no question with me, that the Conair is the better of the two. The additional steam output will deal with wrinkles more efficiently than the Samsonite. The Samsonite is a good product, but it could be better. Oh, one other very small consideration. They are both dual voltage, but the Samsonite requires you to change the voltage by a switch. The Conair does it automatically. You could do with the Samsonite. It might take just a bit longer time-wise, but it will do the job. Frankly, I would prefer an even smaller unit - which I had 20 years ago - but it finally quit and was no longer made. It was about 1/2 the size of both of these and put out much more steam. You did have to fill it more often, but boy was it good - and small. I didn't give it 5 stars only because It could be smaller - and somebody should make one. I'm taking the Conair.

Wow, this travel steamer works great in the UK and the USA. The thing I’ll miss the most about the UK, though, is the 220 volt electrical supply! that makes all the appliances heat up so quickly! This steamer is very lightweight, effective, and heats up super quickly in the UK. Like all my dual voltage appliances, this takes longer to heat up in the USA than in the UK. But that’s not the fault of the appliance. The handle is sturdy when in use but collapses with the press of a button. Yes, the area you can steam with one pass is rather small, but I’ve been doing just one athleisure polo or long sleeve SPF shirt each morning. So my garments have only been thin ones. I don’t know how well this would work on cotton, but I almost never wear cotton garments anymore, so it’s not an issue for me. Of course, because it’s small, you really can only do 1-2 lightweight articles of clothing before you need to refill the water reservoir. To do that, you need to let it cool down (or use a very think oven mitt?) so you can remove the top to get to the reservoir. So if you need to steam more than 2 articles of clothing at a time, or if you’re doing 100% cotton, this may not be the appliance for you. However, this has been working out great for me. I am pretty much just steaming one shirt every morning during my trip. This is also super easy to pack and has not leaked yet that I have noticed. Of course, I have emptied it before putting it in my luggage. I think if you don’t empty it, water would flow out where the steam comes out. I definitely recommend this item!

The Conair steamer was unfortunately a waste of money and luggage space. I give it a one-star because it did not meet the basic objective in use while travel, and its poor design does not make it a decent substitute for anything I would use at home. First, a product description for context: it is a simple plastic bottle with a plug and a folding chair-like grip. It has no on/off or settings. You plug it in and it should start to boil water and the resulting steam comes out of the top. The top part has small grooves and it is easy to misalign when trying to put it on. For home use, it is small and you wouldn’t leave it plugged in for more than a few seconds, as it will continue to boil the water empty. I would feel it is not safe for regular use compared to other options. An on/off switch would help. I would also look for something that makes a basic effort at the handle because it is designed for folding, not holding and the bottle is literally boiling hot once you have it going so you’re not going to hold it anywhere other than the handle. The reason I got this was to have something for travel. I travel a lot outside the US, and it claims to have dual voltage. So, that was the draw for me. Frankly, I don’t know why you would use this unless your are traveling. Problem I had in my trip to Europe was that it oddly would not hold the electrical charge long enough to boil. It would warm, but not boil, which is odd because the voltage in Europe is much higher and brings ordinary water pots to a boil much faster. I tried multiple sockets, including ones where I had other things plugged in. This simply didn’t work. I never got sufficient steam to do a simple dress shirt. At over $60, I thought I was getting something more reliable.

This is one of the few dual voltage travel steamers that I found. It works. It will create some steam, and it will remove some wrinkles. It is a very small amount so it takes a long time to do a shirt or a pair of slacks. It is fairly small, and portable. It would have been nice to have a travel bag or case included, but at the end of the day, it is an option.

I used it for the first time today, it heated up in about 1min30 and took the wrinkle out of t shirt fabric as well as a thicker part wool sweater. It did a great job! I travel a lot so the dual voltage will also be a gift! I used it in the states today and I’ll be in New Zealand in a week and a half, looking forward to see if it works just as well over there 😊 highly recommended! The only addition I’d love to see at the moment is a pause/stop button. So that I wouldn’t need to unplug it to give it a pause while grabbing the next garment to steam. Totally worth it either way! I haven’t looked into this, but could also be nice to have access to the bottom of the water area where the heating element is to be able to wash it well after using it with hard water. Such a great purchase! So happy with it! The plastic also seems quite sturdy and well made.

If I had to decide based on utility per dollar spent, this has got to be one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon. I throw this steamer into my carryon spinner or backpack for every trip. (It is TSA compliant, as long as it's empty of water). Compared to setting up a cumbersome ironing board and dealing with that whole circus, this handheld steamer zaps the wrinkles right as the clothes hang in the closet. In terms of effectiveness, I would say this is 90% as effective as an iron, taking care of all but the most hard creases. In terms of convenience, the steamer trumps the iron hands down. Plus, I've destroyed multiple shirts by using old/dirty hotel irons that leave black soot stains on the clothes. I've started using it at home, replacing nearly all my iron usage. For international travel, it's a must-pack. At European hotels, ironing boards are hard to come by. With the dual-voltage compatibility, all you need is a standard little outlet adapter to use this overseas. At this price, this thing is a blind-buy in my opinion.

Didn’t produce enough steam or pressure to be very effective binned this and bought a small travel iron

Haven't traveled abroad yet with this, but very pleased so far. LIghtweight and very compact. Was worried if the collapsible handle would be made well but it is. There is a release button on the top to lock or collapse the handle and the mechanism seems nice and solid. Heats up fast and emits plenty of steam even with just one row of holes. Easy to open and fill. Don't need the brush attachment but others may find a use for it. This is the smallest, lightest travel steamer I have purchased. Hope it stays in Conair's lineup permanently.

Muy buen funcionamiento, ideal para llevar de viaje

Pequeña, rápida.

Completely satisfied with this travel steamer! It is dual voltage which is necessary for overseas travel. Weighs just over 1 pound so if you can afford 1 extra pound (ladies:) ) in your luggage it takes wrinkles out in seconds. Holds just enough water for 1 or 2 garments. Very powerful! Follow instructions and warnings as the green body gets VERY hot so only handle by the handle when in action. Highly recommend.
