The unit, which recently appeared in stores, has already managed to become a sales leader in its segment. If you are not already familiar with this miracle of technology, then we present to you the top of the best vertical garment steamers suitable for home use.

Steam Ironing Facilities

Tefal IXEO QT1020E0

Tefal created a complete steam system with its own ironing board, which can be tilted at a convenient angle. An iron with a steam flow button on an elongated handle weighs 2 times less than a standard iron, so your hands do not get tired during work.

Despite the reservoir capacity of 1 liter, it is enough for long-term ironing and there is always the possibility of replenishment in the process. Thanks to the Smart Protect system, the optimum temperature for heating the sole is set automatically for any type of fabric, so after an easy blouse, jeans are smoothed out without problems.

Another feature of the model is the replaceable descaling filters. Their resource is not defined, therefore, the filter should be replaced as it becomes dirty, as indicated by a special indicator. The heavy weight of the ironing system is neutralized by transport rollers, with which it is convenient to move the device around the room.

Inexpensive models (up to 10 000 rub.)

For your convenience, the rating of vertical steamers was divided into two parts, depending on the price of the equipment. Agree, this is an important aspect in which a decision is made on the purchase of goods. The design of this unit is an outdoor water tank mounted on rollers, shoulders on a vertical rack and a hose with nozzles for steaming. The criteria by which the assessment will take place are as follows:

• steam power
• boiler value
• working hours
• protective functions

So let's get started.

Grand Master GM-A900

This will be perhaps the best vertical steamer among the available models. Simplicity of design and wide functionality are combined in it with a pleasant price. A powerful device brings the water to a boil in 30 seconds, the steam supply is continuously adjustable, two liters of water is enough for the eyes to cope with a whole heap of clothes. The disadvantages include the lack of additional nozzles with bristles. Convenience of storage will be an additional plus: for this model, a small department in the pantry is enough.

Kitfort KT-915

The round base is mounted on rollers and has an electronic display with indication of operation. Very large start and rewind buttons will not leave a chance for a miss. The power of the unit was 2,000 watts, which allows it to release steam under a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres. A nozzle with bristles allows you to clean clothes from lint directly during steaming. A very good device, rightfully taking second place in the ranking.

Galaxy GL6206

A good medium-sized apparatus with a capacity of 1,800 watts has an impressive water tank - as much as 2.3 liters, which it heats up in 35 seconds (as stated). Thanks to a large number of modes, you can even smooth the coat by hand in a couple of minutes.

ENDEVER Odyssey Q-5

This instance was created by the Swedish company Kromax Group. It is a powerful (2200 W) apparatus that produces steam with a temperature of up to 95 0C. But for such an abundant vapor release, the amount of liquid that can fit in the tank is clearly not enough. The intensity of the steam jet is regulated by a rocker. A fairly reliable rack on two telescopic legs ends with a smooth hanger.

SUPRA SBS-166

The steamer is suitable for home use. Despite the small size of the boiler, the saturation of the steam stream can reach 40 g / min., Which allows you to smooth out almost any fabric. The pressure is convenient to choose with the help of markers in Russian (linen, cotton, silk, polyester) located around the regulator. The reviews flicker complaints about the smell of plastic during operation.

We examined the rating of vertical steamers for clothing oriented to a consumer who is ready to part with an amount not exceeding 10,000 rubles. And now we will evaluate the tops of floor steamers of 2019 in the middle price category and choose the best of the best.

Middle segment (from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles)

The functionality of the products in question will be close to professional. The increased power and improved functionality of more expensive versions of steamers will accelerate the process of bringing clothes in proper form. It is these units that are used in boutiques and fashion shows.

RUNZEL Pro-300 TurboSteam

The technical novelty of the Swedish company Runzel rightfully takes the first place in our rating. She is the undisputed sales leader in terms of price-quality ratio. The strength of continuous steam flow is the largest among the analogues on the market. Thanks to this intensity, the RUNZEL Pro-300 TurboSteam can easily cope with the most dense and non-resistant materials, such as jeans, drapes, linen. The scope of delivery includes a brush clamp, interchangeable nozzles and a mitten for protection against steam. The telescopic stand is removable. The device is equipped with a shutdown function in case of insufficient water and a removable reservoir.Customer reviews indicate the reliability of the steam generator and the excellent build quality.

Grand Master GM-S-18

The slightly heavy representative of the Grand Master steam generators looks nevertheless elegant. The liquid is poured into a transparent boiler, which turns it into steam in 45 seconds. A 170-centimeter stand will allow you to smooth the creases even on long dresses without any effort. But not everything is so smooth. The device is not suitable for steaming dense materials: the saturation of the stream is only 20 g / min.

Philips GC557 / 30 ComfortTouch

Philips - he is also in Africa Philips. The thoughtful design is immediately striking: white, with a lilac stand. The steamer does not want to be hidden anywhere, but, on the contrary, admire the smooth lines of the device. An additional plus is the clamp for the hanger on a tripod, which keeps it from falling. The weak power of the device results in an increased time of vaporization, and an insufficiently large boiler for water quickly consumes it. The peculiarity of the model is that the FlexHead nozzle allows steaming even the most dense fabrics with concentrated steam, and also eliminates the need to keep the iron straight.

Zauber PRO-270s i-Fordel

Another representative of the northern country of Sweden in our ranking takes fourth place. The device does not look bulky, rather, angular. All the protective features are in stock, but the design just kills. For that kind of money, a little effort could be made in that direction. When turned on, condensate can escape, you need to be prepared for this. If the water runs out, you will hear a beep and the appliance will turn off. The word that fully characterizes it is reliability.

MIE Magic Style

The Italian declares himself as a professional in the field of steaming. A double stand facilitates the process of smoothing jackets and the like. Steam is supplied heated to a temperature of 980 ° C with an intensity of up to 85 g per minute. But reviews are full of complaints about the impossibility of steaming shirts and cotton products. In addition, you need to carefully monitor the amount of water in the tank, because the self-shutdown function is not provided in MIE Magic Style. And protection against scale, too, so it is recommended to use distilled water so as not to break the delicate mechanism. In addition to the device, you will receive a set of brushes, a clip, as well as forms for the collar and sleeves.

A few words in the end

We have completed a review of the most popular vertical garment steamers to date. Let me now say a few words about caring for this technique. The steamer is not a cheap thing, and no one wants it to work out its warranty period only, and then it fails. In order to extend the life of your device, read the instructions and follow the recommendations:

1. In order to avoid dropping water droplets from the nozzle, turn on the equipment immediately at maximum power.As soon as the water inside the boiler boils (the indicator light goes out), set the steaming mode according to the type of fabric being processed. This will save your time and nerves, and the device will not be overloaded.
2. Despite the fact that some manufacturers recommend pouring water directly from the tap, you should not do this if you do not want to get rid of scale on the internal elements of the steam generator and brushes. Tap water contains a large amount of salts that remain on the walls of the tank when the liquid evaporates. Even if the appliance is equipped with a self-cleaning descaling system, this system also needs to be cleaned from time to time. To do this as little as possible, add distilled or desalted water to the tank. If a reverse osmosis filter is installed in the house, then such water is also suitable.
3. Turn off the steam generator when you leave for a while. The life of the heating element is limited. Do not waste it on useless air heating.

One more thing. Steamers do not rid the clothes of unpleasant odors - this is an advertising ploy. They make it easier to smooth wrinkles on clothing, but it’s best to wash your well-worn clothes to give them a fresh scent. And then, of course, smooth it out with the help of your wonderful assistant.
