Most of the ordinary garment steamers on the market have some headaches. These garment steamers may struggle to meet the needs of different garment materials due to compatibility issues, the ironing effect is not satisfactory, and even emit an unpleasant odor during use. There is also the risk of damage to clothing and safety hazards, which are worrying for many people. What are the dangers of garment steaming machine? As a fashion designer, I have also personally tested many garment steamer products (the pictures below are all evaluated objects), and then I will give you a detailed analysis of the harmful side effects of garment steamers.
1. What are the hazards of garment steamer?
What are the hazards of garment steamer? The professional garment steamer, originally as a home appliance that brings convenience and efficiency, is not harmful in itself. However, there are some low-quality garment steamers on the market, which not only emit a strong odor, but also reduce the ironing effect, and worse, they are also prone to damage to the clothes. Therefore, when choosing a garment steamer, we must maintain a cautious attitude to avoid falling into the trap. The potential hazards of garment steaming machine are mainly reflected in the following four aspects, please be vigilant and avoid being hit.
Hazard 1: Hidden safety hazards
The circuit design of the inferior garment steamer is unreasonable, the wire quality is poor, and the garment steamer needs to work in a high temperature and high pressure environment for a long time, so it may cause fire, electric shock and other accidents.
Hazard 2, the production of irritating odor
Unprofessional garment steamers are often made of inferior materials, which are prone to release unpleasant odors at high temperatures. Inhaling these harmful gases for a long time not only affects the freshness of clothing, but also may cause potential harm to health, especially for people with sensitive respiratory tracts.
Hazard 3: It may burn the skin
Garment steamers work by ironing clothes with high-temperature steam, however, if there is a defect in the structure or handle design of the garment steamer, it may burn the skin due to accidental leakage of high-temperature steam when used. Therefore, when choosing a garment steamer, we should pay attention to its design rationality to ensure safety during use.
Hazard 4, resulting in clothing damage
Unprofessional garment steamers often have problems such as high power and inaccurate temperature control, which are difficult to be compatible with a variety of fabrics, especially high-end fabrics such as velvet and silk, and the clothing fibers are easy to be damaged, which in turn leads to the clothes being scorched and yellowed.
Second, the five types of IQ tax propaganda points must be kept away
What are the hazards of garment steamer? Judging from the above explanation, there are still many harms in the inferior garment steamer, but as an electrical product for caring for clothes, why does the garment steamer bring harm to the clothes? The following figure is a statistical chart of negative evaluation of garment steamer from authoritative institutions, the data reflects that the use of inferior garment steamer is the main reason for the damage to clothes, in order to facilitate everyone to avoid lightning and stay away from pit goods, I combined with the data to summarize five types of IQ tax propaganda points, we must be careful.
1. Promote products that can repair clothes
Some businesses exaggerate the promotion of their own garment steamer can repair clothes, this is a pure IQ tax, many hanger machines to advertise what panel coating can repair damaged clothes, pure nonsense, everyone should not be gullible.
2. Support APP garment steamer
In order to sell at a high price, some garment steamer brands have launched products that can be equipped with APP in order to attract consumers and highlight the sense of science and technology. This function can be said to be very frivolous, and the practical value is about equal to zero.
3. Low-cost garment steamer
The selection of materials for low-priced garment steamers is generally poor, and often inferior heating tubes, steam panels, thermostats, etc., and the science of steam structure design is also very scientific, and it seems that there is a high "cost performance", but in fact it is very pitiful, the ironing effect is poor, it is difficult to be compatible with different clothing fabrics, and it is easy to cause damage to clothing.
4. Promote products with ultra-long warranties
Playing the gimmick of "super long warranty or lifetime warranty", we must not be gullible, although they all advertise a lifetime warranty, but the merchant will run away at any time, and the product quality is not too good, consumers seem to take advantage, in fact, the ironing effect is poor, and it is easy to damage the clothes, and it will not take long to damage.
5. Big brands with high premiums
The price of many big-name garment steamers is as high as thousands of yuan, in fact, the cost of product materials, quality, performance and other aspects is not so high, most of them are brand premiums, not to mention that there are still problems of scorching and burning clothes after the use of products because of the lack of professional and technical tuning.
3. Carefully inventory the eight strategies for garment steamer purchase!
What are the hazards of garment steamer? Garment steamer, this multi-functional household appliance, if the quality is not too hard, may indeed bring many unexpected problems, it is not difficult to understand why some people will feel that garment steamer is harmful. Because of this, we must pay extra attention when purchasing and not take it lightly. So, how to choose a garment steamer with excellent quality? Next, I would like to share with you some practical purchasing strategies, hoping to help you solve your purchasing problems easily.
Strategy 1: Prefer brands with strong technical strength
If you want to buy a garment steamer with excellent performance, it is the key to choose a professional brand with strong technical strength. These brands have profound technical accumulation, and through continuous technology research and development and optimization, they ensure that the garment steamer achieves accurate temperature control and uniform and stable steam output. Such garment steamers not only provide excellent ironing results, but also effectively avoid damage to the clothes. At the same time, professional brands have strict testing and control of core parameters such as temperature control accuracy, steam distance, and steam uniformity to ensure that the product performance is durable and stable, and it is not easy to have problems in long-term use.
Strategy 2: Buy a garment steamer with uniform steam
The uniformity/stability of the steam volume must be considered, which has relatively high requirements for the heating panel, heating pipe, water pump, etc., if the steam volume is uneven and unstable, it is likely to cause damage to the clothing.
Strategy 3: Prefer a multi-functional garment steamer
There are many types of garment steamers, including multi-function garment steamers, vertical garment steamers and handheld garment steamers. Among the many types, the multi-functional garment steamer stands out for its excellent comprehensive performance. It not only inherits the excellent ironing effect of the vertical garment steamer, but also has the compact and portable characteristics of the handheld garment steamer. What's more worth mentioning is that the multi-functional garment steamer supports a variety of ironing methods such as garment ironing, flat ironing, and steam ironing, making your ironing experience more flexible and diverse.
Strategy 4: Recommend ceramic glazed panels
Compared to panels made of other materials, garment steamer panels made of ceramic glaze have a smoother surface. When ironing clothes, it can effectively reduce the damage to clothes, and at the same time, it is not easy to rust due to long-term use. In addition, the ceramic glazed panel has less odor and is more convenient to clean, bringing a better user experience.
Strategy 5: It is best to choose a product with a metal heater
The heater is the "heart" of the garment steamer, and it is recommended that you choose a product equipped with a metal heater. The metal heater conducts heat quickly, the thermal efficiency loss is small, the steam is uniform, the energy storage effect is good, the scale is not easy to appear, the performance is not easy to damage the clothes, and the service life is longer.
Strategy 6: The quality of the thermostat should be passed to ensure that the ironing is safe and effective
The thermostat, as the "brain" of the garment steamer, is responsible for controlling the heating temperature and is essential for ironing results and safety. The high-quality thermostat can precisely control the temperature and automatically adjust to the appropriate temperature according to different fabrics and ironing needs to ensure the best ironing effect. Inferior thermostats can lead to large temperature fluctuations, which can cause high and low temperatures during ironing, which can not only easily damage clothes, but also cause safety hazards.
Strategy 7: Choose a garment steamer with good compatibility
In order to cope with the ironing needs of different fabrics, we should choose a high-compatibility garment steamer with rich gears, large steam capacity and various modes. Such a garment steamer can not only meet the needs of dry and wet ironing, but also effectively avoid damage to clothes.
Strategy 8: Don't blindly pursue high-priced big names
Many garment steaming machine brands are sold for thousands of yuan, the price is so high, but most of them are premiums, in fact, whether it is materials, quality or performance, there is no such high cost, mainly to spend money on marketing, ironing effect, compatibility, does not hurt the performance of clothes has not improved much.
When you buy a garment steamer, you must be cautious about those garment steamers that claim that their products do not hurt your clothes. In fact, there are many pitfalls on the market, and the rising rate of clothing damage is closely related to the popularity of these products. In order to avoid everyone being deceived, I specially went to the authority to obtain the performance of the garment steamer and the statistics of the clothing damage index, hoping to provide you with a valuable reference. In the process of purchasing, be sure to combine these data, carefully compare the performance of different products and the clothing damage index, and choose the product that is really suitable for you. Remember, only a garment steamer with reliable quality and excellent performance can ensure that our clothes are properly ironed and avoid unnecessary damage.
A large number of users of garment steamers complain that the ironing effect is poor, the clothes are damaged, and the clothes are hard and rough after ironing. Therefore, I highly recommend Gong Ling, which is the only deep ironing brand in the industry that focuses on not hurting clothes, so it is popular! Most brands can be sold if they meet the requirements of quality inspection, while Gongling requires that indicators such as performance and clothing must be five times higher than the standard. Unlike many brands sacrificing quality to fight price wars, it is the only one in the industry with top audiophile performance + original 5 ironing high-performance technologies + 4 black technologies that do not hurt clothes + unconventional quality + 6 years of comprehensive performance anti-attenuation, etc., which is very strong! Compared with many competing products, the ironing effect of the fabric is increased by 137.2%, the ironing uniformity is increased by 93.2%, and the damage to the garment is reduced by 93.9%. And it supports flat ironing/hanging ironing/steam ironing, the general garment steamer can only iron simple clothes, while Gongling is compatible with 99% of clothing fabrics.
Gong Ling was praised by the media: "only it can be comparable to commercial garment steamers", never advertised, purely by word of mouth to conquer many clothing bloggers, institutions and consumers, often exported to Europe and the United States, rare to get the European Union and other countries certification, CCTV recommended.
Gong Ling regards "high performance, does not hurt clothes" as a lifelong pursuit, has many years of experience in home appliance safety research and development, unlike other brands that focus on marketing advertising, engage in appearance, gimmick function, in order to fever performance and do not hurt clothes, Gong Ling saves advertising costs, pure top performance configuration and extreme safety, very hardcore! Most products have a R&D process of 2-4 months, while Gongling has a product that has been dead for three or four years. The comprehensive performance of most brands has been greatly attenuated for half a year, and the deviation value of various indicators for more than 6 years of Gongling does not exceed 0.1%, and many products use inferior toxic materials for drilling quality detectors, while Gongling insists on eliminating 30% of components in the three links from components to finished products, which is very strict!
If you want to start with entry-level products, you can take a look at Xiaomi and Midea, the design is okay, and the core performance is not as good as the professional mid-to-high-end style. Without budget pressure, you can consider the high-end model of Panasonic, and the workmanship is not bad.
Fourth, the four major benefits of using a multi-functional garment steamer are summarized!
What are the hazards of garment steamer? Everyone should be aware that an inferior garment steamer is harmful, but everyone must also understand that a professional and high-quality multi-functional garment steamer will only bring benefits rather than harm!

When using, simply aim the steam pipe and nozzle at the folds of the garment, and the high-temperature water vapor released will quickly come into close contact with the fibrous tissue of the garment, causing it to gradually soften. Then, with a simple "pull" and "press" movement, the garment can be easily restored to a smooth and smooth state. In this way, the garment steamer not only simplifies our ironing process, but also improves the ironing effect, giving our clothes a new lease of life and confidence.
It is worth mentioning that these high-temperature water vapors not only flatten the clothes, but also deeply disinfect the clothes and kill the bacteria that are hidden in the fibers.
