Conair Turbo Extreme Steam Hand Held Fabric Steamer, GS59X, 1875W, 15 min, 7.3 oz, White/Champagne

This steamer was a life saver when it came to my wedding dress. I bought a wedding dress online that had 6 different layers and some were the tulle fabric. The dress came compressed and full of wrinkles. It took me some time to go through each layer of the dress, about 2 days, but this steamer worked so great! It is very powerful and took all wrinkles out of my wedding dress even the thick tulle fabric layers. I could have done it faster if I had someone to help me go through all the layers of my dress. This thing heats up really quick. Remember to use distilled water like it says. The size is light weight enough that even my weak arms could use it. It is small enough to also travel with it and fit it in a suitcase.

There is only one thing I hate more than crinkled sheets, and that’s ironing them. Seriously, I hate ironing and I almost never do it. I’ve bought various handheld steamers over the years and they’ve all been disappointing, so I wasn’t expecting too much from this one - but wow, I was wrong. This steamer is a game changer. I was able to steam my sheets while they were on the bed. The machine heats water quickly, is easy to use, and most importantly, it actually works. The pictures I’ve included show the before and after from the very first time I used it. Since then, I’ve steamed more sheets, and the results have been fast and even better than what’s shown in the photos. I also tried it on two dress shirts and was thrilled with the results. I do recommend getting a steamer glove for safety and convenience, and an over-the-door clothes steamer pad - both make the whole process faster and easier.

This steamer won't create a freshly ironed/straight from the dry cleaner 100% wrinkle free effect, but does an excellent job for day to day, 'I made an effort' look. It depends on the fabric... I ordered this for next day delivery after I realized a shirt (synthetic fibers) I wanted to wear to an event the next night had fallen off the hanger and had been sitting and gathering wrinkles. Usually I wash on gentle in a garment bag, and if I hang it to dry immediately, gravity takes the wrinkles out. I didn't have enough time to do this and still have time for it to dry completely. For a lightweight poly/cotton blend, the steamer did take out every single wrinkle. While it was hot, I tried it on another lightweight 100% cotton shirt I usually dry clean, and it took out 'most' of the wrinkles, or took it to from a point of not wanting to be seen in public with it, to it being acceptable (kind of the same state as though it had been ironed, but had been worn for a few hours). I then tried it on a pretty thickly woven 100% linen tunic that I usually dry clean but had tried to wash and hang by hand to save money. Before I got the steamer, I was about to resort to taking it to the dry cleaners, but.... the steamer did struggle a bit, but after several minutes it did become 'has been worn for a few hours' wrinkly vs creased all over with wrinkles. If I had spent a lot more time and used more finesse with it, I likely might have been able to get all the wrinkles out, but I decided this one may be one to just keep taking to the cleaner. In sum, for some synthetics or synthetic blends, it's great. For more naturally prone to wrinkle fibers, it is great for a more casual and presentable, 'I didn't just pulled this off of the floor' look. I wouldn't count on it for a more formal or crisp look for say, job interviews. Plan ahead and drag out the ironing board or take it to a dry cleaners instead. H However, If you are like me and can't stand ironing or, if you don't want to continue to spend an arm and a leg at the dry cleaner for less formal wear that could really be washed on gentle cycles and hung to dry and be fine with a quick but not perfectly crisp de-wrinkling, this is a great investment. Aside, it does heat up pretty quickly. If you give it a good couple of minutes rather than the 40 seconds the instructions say, it will be more effective. The whole to fill up the water is a bit small and awkward, but do-able with a little creativity. I didn't have distilled water on hand, but tap water in my area isn't that hard, so I'm not going to bother with buying jugs of distilled water from the store. If you are constantly struggling with lime and calcium residue in your bathroom, ya, I'd get distilled water, but if your build up is very minimal... up to you.

I bought this Conair clothes steamer in a bit of a rush because I suddenly realized I had a multi-day conference ahead of me, and my suits and sports jackets were in storage (thank you Amazon Prime). The clothes were clean enough in their zip-up plastic bags, but quite wrinkly. A number of online reviews had this unit as the number 1 pick or close, and I see why. LIKES Build quality — This is a huge, heavy beast of a steamer. The giant steam head alone is as big as a brick, and HEAVY, and all the plastics feel designed for heavy use. The buttons are solid, the cord is thick, and it just seems ready to go forever out of the box. Not common in our era of disposable appliances. Power — This unit claims to put out over 1800 watts, and I believe it. Just a few seconds gets it the steam ready to go, and I never felt I needed to go past “2” or “3” out of the five available power settings. It makes a lot of steam and works fast. Efficacy — I see people talking about how many “passes” are required to remove wrinkles, and I did need a few, but I was frankly a bit scared of the higher power levels, which might have sped things up. Still only talking about 5 minutes or so to steam a suit jacket and pants. The crease clip on top of the head (see below) worked great and having used it, I’d rather not be without that feature. I’ve read that some of these machines “spit” water before the steam is ready, and it neither spit nor leaked water anywhere. The “sole plate” on the front of the steamer is not perfectly flat, but it’s covered in a non-stick material, so I think you could “iron” with it if you felt the need. I just didn’t because it took out all my wrinkles with the clothes right on the hanger. This thing takes out wrinkles FAST. Features — I like that it has those power settings (not that common in these devices) and the bright lights that show you how high you have the device set all the time. The sturdy, separate buttons for on/off and steam are good as well. The power cord is long enough at 6 feet, and I like that Conair included a prong cover and a ratcheting cord keeper strap that is sturdy enough to keep with the unit. I really appreciate that the machine has a flat bottom on the handle that allows you to securely stand it up on the counter as you work. The water reservoir is large, and I never came close to using it up steaming two jackets and a pair of pants. The “crease clip” on top of the head worked great for sharpening the creases on my dress pants. I don’t know if I’ll use the “delicates” attachment, but it’s nice to have. NOT SO LIKES Not much, but I intend to bring this unit with me on my trip, and it is going to take up a lot of space in the suitcase. It doesn’t fold or swivel, and at 13” long and two very solid pounds, it’s a bit of a beast. If you travel a lot, you may want something sleeker to take with you. Nevertheless, a travel case or pouch would have been nice to have, and there is none included. The hole to fill the large water tank is small, but wasn’t a problem. I did have a little trouble with the silicone plug that closes that hole, which has a tab on it for easy lifting, but which can get in the way when you’re trying to press it down. The small hole also means you can’t easily get the unit completely empty of water, but i think that’s in the nature of this kind of device. I just turned the tank on its head on a towel and left it for a while, which you need to do anyway because it stays hot for quite a while. CONCLUSION - This is the steamer to get if you want the job done right and aren’t bothered by a bit of bulk. It’s a deadly serious, wrinkle-crushing piece of equipment to keep in the laundry room and, in a pinch, on a trip if you have the room. Five big, steamy stars.

I had heard about steam irons but never used one. I was skeptical and undecided based on the price range that they have. But I will say I am pleased with this one. It doesn't do miracles, but it just works, it's more convenient than a regular iron and it's not expensive. Also, I am impressed with how little water it uses. Quick to warm up, easy to use and effective. Just make sure you get a clothes hanger to go with it.

I use this steamer to smooth wrinkles and refresh items before wearing. I had put off buying a handheld steamer for far too long, and now that I use this one often, I genuinely wish I had picked it up sooner. It heats up quickly and produces a steady flow of steam that relaxes wrinkles in cotton shirts, knits, and lightweight pants without needing an ironing board. I appreciated how easy it was to pull out, use for a few minutes, and put away, which made it something I reached for regularly. The water reservoir was simple to fill and lasted through several garments before needing more water. The handle felt comfortable to hold, and the steam output stayed consistent during use without dripping or leaving water spots. I have been surprised by how often I pull it out to refresh clothes between wears.

This is an awesome product. I bought a different handheld steamer in the past and it was absolute junk. After reading tons of reviews on different brands, I bought this one and just decided to have very low expectations. That being said, I was hoping it worked since I absolutely hate ironing, and I'll find myself wearing work clothes that are slightly wrinkled just to avoid having to iron them. It arrived just before New Years Eve, as I was staring at a dress that probably should have been dry-cleaned, and my husband's suit which likely needed the same. I hesitantly started at the bottom of my dress to see if it would ruin the synthetic fibers (on the low setting), and it worked like freaking magic! Now my husband uses it every singe morning on his dress shirts and pants that cannot be dried or dry cleaned...and my mother in law was so impressed that she bought her own. We've used it on a lot of different types of fabrics so far, and it's worked on all of them perfectly (and without damaging them). Highly, highly recommend.

Honestly not that impressed. Nothing works like a good old iron! Like others have mentioned it’s heavy, it does release some of the wrinkles but won’t get out the deep wrinkles like an iron would. It’s fairly easy to use and the steam does get extremely hot. It looks like a lot of steam coming out but it just doesn’t get the deep wrinkles. It also runs out of water quickly. I gave it three stars because it does work for things that aren’t really wrinkled. I wanted to give it a good try, so unfortunately I missed my return window or I would be returning.
