CraftyShopper’s Best Garment | Fabric Steamer
When choosing the best fabric steamer some important factors to look into are the steamer’s wattage, how much steam it can produce and convenience features like hanging rods, auto-shutoff and overall design or portability (if you want one for travel). Take into account the higher the wattage the faster and hotter steam you will get. Among the products we researched Jimmy Steamers seem to be the better in craftsmanship and reliability while SteamFast steamers seem to also be reviewers favorites due to its inexpensiveness and quality performance. Although there are some reliability issues with Steamfast steamers due to it’s cheaper quality build. Other companies like Conair, Rowenta and Sunbeam had some decent garment steamers as well but according to reviewers the best values came from the top 2 brands.

 4. SteamFast SF-435W Compact Fabric Steamer - The SteamFast compact fabric steamer is another top selling compact steamer on Amazon. It cost much less than the Jiffy steamer but has more reviews of it leaking and breaking down due to its lesser quality construction. The compact SteamFast also runs out of water sooner than the Jiffy making the Jiffy possibly a better buy. Aside from that, its operation works just about as good as the Jiffy compact steamer. |

It is almost identical to the SteamFast SF-407 in performance and operation with the addition of an insulated hose and built in cord wrap. Other than that they are very much the same steamer. |

 7. Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Pro-Line Commercial Garment Steamer - The Jiffy J-4000 is the big daddy of steamers. It is considered their commercial grade steamer can steam continuously for almost 2 hours. If you’re only steaming 1 or 2 items at a time the J-4000 might be a little overkill plus it takes more time to heat up the 1 gallon tank for steaming. It’s perfect for business applications like wardrobe and costume sets where numerous items would need freshening up. |
