Do you want a garment steamer to buy, but you don't know which model suits you best? With different types of garment steamers on the market, it can be difficult to make the right choice. One garment steamer is especially suitable for quick daily use, while another model offers more power and capacity for steaming multiple garments in succession.
A garment steamer can be a practical alternative to the iron when you want to quickly remove wrinkles from clothing without using an ironing board. But which features are important and which model suits your situation?
In this article we compare the different FLOWSTEAM garment steamer models and help you determine which garment steamer best suits your needs.
Why buy a garment steamer?
A garment steamer is designed to quickly and easily remove wrinkles from clothing using steam. Unlike traditional ironing, you usually don't need to lay a garment flat on an ironing board. For example, you hang it on a hanger and move the steamer over the fabric.
That makes a garment steamer interesting for people who:
- want to quickly remove wrinkles from clothes;
- don't want to use an ironing board;
- regularly wear shirts or blouses;
- want to quickly freshen up clothes for a workday;
- want to be able to steam multiple types of clothing;
- are looking for a compact solution for home or travel.
Especially when speed and convenience are important, a garment steamer can be a valuable addition to your household.
What should you look for when buying a garment steamer?
Before choosing a garment steamer, it is important to consider the features that matter most to you.
Steam power
The steam power partly determines how easily you can remove wrinkles. A powerful garment steamer is especially interesting when you regularly want to treat thicker fabrics or stubborn wrinkles.
For light garments such as T-shirts and thin blouses, a compact model may be sufficient. For more intensive use, a more powerful model may be more interesting.
Warm-up time
A garment steamer should be especially easy and quick to use. A short heating time means you don't have to wait long before you can start.
This is handy, for example, when you want to quickly steam a shirt in the morning just before leaving.
Size and weight
Do you want to use the garment steamer daily or take it with you when traveling? Then a compact and lightweight model is important.
A handy garment steamer is easy to store and easy to move along your clothes. A larger model, on the other hand, can offer more capacity and power.
Water tank
The size of the water tank determines how many clothes you can steam in a row. For one or two garments, a smaller tank is often sufficient.
If you want to treat multiple shirts, dresses or other garments one after another, a larger capacity can be more practical.
Ease of use
A good garment steamer should especially be easy to use. Think of filling the water tank, the controls, the weight and the way you hold the device.
The simpler the device works, the easier it becomes to make the garment steamer part of your daily routine.

Which one should you choose? That mainly depends on how you want to use the garment steamer.

|---|---|---|
| Daily use | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Quickly steam a single garment | ★★★★★ | ★★★★☆ |
| Compact use | ★★★★★ | ★★★☆☆ |

| Professional use | ★★★★☆ | ★★★★★ |

The FLOWSTEAM Garment Steamer is especially attractive if you are looking for a compact solution to quickly treat a garment.
The FLOWSTEAM PRO is a better fit if you regularly want to steam multiple garments and prefer a standing, more professional solution.
Which garment steamer is best for shirts?
When you mainly want to steam shirts, a handheld garment steamer is often very practical. You can hang the shirt on a hanger and then treat the creases in a targeted way.
For a single shirt that you want to quickly de-wrinkle just before leaving, the compact FLOWSTEAM Garment Steamer is an interesting choice.
Do you wear several shirts every day and want to regularly treat different clothing items one after another? Then the FLOWSTEAM PRO may fit your usage better.
Which garment steamer is best for home?
For home use, the amount of clothing you want to steam is especially important.
If you mainly use the garment steamer for a few garments per day, a compact handheld steamer offers great convenience.
If you regularly want to steam a larger amount of clothing, a standing model may be more practical.
So it is not only about the question of what the best garment steamer is, but especially about the question of which garment steamer best suits your usage situation.
Which garment steamer is suitable for travel?
For travel, a compact garment steamer is usually the most practical choice. Space in a suitcase is limited, and you also don't want to be on the go with a large device.
A handy garment steamer can be useful during a business trip, for example. A shirt or blouse can become creased during transport, after which you can quickly steam the garment in the hotel room.
For regular travel, the compact FLOWSTEAM garment steamer is therefore a logical choice.
Buying a garment steamer: choose based on your usage
The best garment steamer doesn't exist for everyone. So first think about your own situation.
Choose a compact garment steamer if you:
- mainly want to steam one or a few garments quickly;
- are looking for a portable device;
- have little space;
- regularly wear shirts and blouses;
- may want to take the garment steamer with you on a trip.
Choose a garment steamer with a stand if you:
- regularly steam a lot of clothing;
- treat multiple garments one after another;
- look for a professional solution;
- have a fixed place for your garment steamer at home;
- place extra value on a comfortable standing setup.
Conclusion: which FLOWSTEAM garment steamer is right for you?
If you mainly want to make your clothes wrinkle-free quickly, easily and without an ironing board, then the FLOWSTEAM garment steamer is an excellent choice for daily use. Its compact size makes it practical for shirts, blouses, dresses and other suitable garments.
If, however, you are looking for a solution for more intensive use and want to steam multiple garments one after another, then the FLOWSTEAM PRO with stand is an interesting option.
In short: the best garment steamer is the one that fits your lifestyle. So don't just look at the device itself, but especially at how often, how much and where you want to steam your clothes.
