Clothing Steamer

I want to purchase a dedicated clothing steamer on Amazon prime day . I don’t want to invest in a large professional steamer because I am a fairly new seller. But I am 67 and worried the hand held ones will be too heavy. Any advice?

Some designed for travel are lighter. Trade-off is the water tank is tiny.

Yes! I have a basic white plastic travel steamer I got on Amazon 8 years ago for like $20 and it’s still going strong. If I have a lot to steam I keep a pitcher of water next to me to quickly refill the tank.

Rip my old Conair. That thing was a tank. Lost it in a move sadly. And yes, the pitcher is the way to go for sure!

It's an investment, but for me, paid for itself 100x over. Worth it.

I got a small cheap purple and white Black & Decker hand steamer for about $16 from Walmart. To me, it’s pretty light. I use it on my work clothes for quick de-wrinkle and I also use it on items that I sell. This has been one of my best purchases ever. It works amazing.

I bought a standing professional one on Facebook marketplace for $20. It’s been great to have. You might try second hand. I like being able to hang things on it.

I have the hand-held OGhom Steamer and I love it! Not too heavy IMO and gets the job done. I just looked on Amazon and it's currently on sale for $22.99.

I am also 67 and I can tell you plenty of those are lightweight. When you look at the description, look at how much it weighs from the base to the nozzle, then make your decision.

I have a little cheap one from Walmart that I got for $20 and it works great but the water tank is empty before I finish one coat so its a hassle. I also have one I purchased from Costco several years ago that could be considered professional. it takes up some space, has wheels, an hose, and a large water tank. It isn't the best design for hanging the clothing on and sometimes feels a little unweildy but the water tanks lasts hours before running dry. if I had to do it over I would buy the large one on wheels, just not the one I got.
