With the increasing demand for ironing clothes in daily life, we often need to use garment ironing machines (also known as electric irons, ironing machines) to soften the tissue fibers of clothes through high-temperature water vapor, making clothes more comfortable to wear. Although the garment steamer has a good ironing effect, there are also a lot of negative news about damaging clothes, so does the garment steamer damage clothes? As a senior home appliance evaluation blogger, I pay special attention to the performance and efficacy of the product, and I will talk to you about the garment steamer, hoping that you will have a more comprehensive understanding.
(The picture above shows some garment steamers in this evaluation)
First, the four major disadvantages of inferior garment steamer
Does garment ironing machine damage clothes? The inferior garment steamer has poor ironing effect, damage to clothes, and there will be scorching and yellow clothes. Therefore, in this evaluation, I sorted out the four major hazards of inferior garment steamers, and everyone needs to be more vigilant!
Hazard 1, direct damage to fibrous tissue
The performance of the inferior garment steamer is not ideal, especially the temperature control in the ironing process is difficult to achieve accuracy, and it is difficult to achieve multi-party compatibility with different clothing fabrics, which affects the effect of ironing, and it is easy to make the clothes yellowed and scorched to different degrees of damage.
Hazard 2, release unpleasant pungent odor
Inferior garment steamers perform poorly in terms of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, because the ironing process is a continuous high temperature environment. Due to the inferior material of the cavity structure, even the use of plastic material, it is easy to release unpleasant irritants at high temperatures, so that the clothes are also contaminated with pungent odors, and also pollute the air and the environment.
Hazard 3, there is a large potential safety hazard
Inferior garment steamers do not meet national standards in terms of circuit design and wire materials, such as the use of wires with poor corrosion resistance and the anti-breaking design without protection circuits, which makes it work in a high temperature and high pressure environment, which has greater potential safety hazards and is easy to cause safety accidents such as fire and electric shock.
Hazard 4, there is a risk of skin burns
Inferior garment steamer does not conform to ergonomics in terms of use design, and lacks control over the use experience, such as the unreasonable grip design of the hand-held handle, and the user is easy to touch the high temperature steam during the ironing process, resulting in skin burn accidents.
Second, the garment steamer industry exaggerated the four major phenomena
Does garment ironing machine damage clothes? Why does a garment of irons damage clothes? In this evaluation, I deeply analyzed the reasons for the above hazards, and referred to the negative public opinion inventory data on garment steamers released by authoritative institutions, and found that in recent years, there have been more exaggerated publicity in the garment steamer industry. The following are the four major phenomena that I have sorted out about the exaggerated publicity of garment steamer products, and I hope to remind you.
Phenomenon 1, under the gimmick of "not harming clothes".
Many brands have exaggerated the publicity of clothing protection, especially the gimmick of "not hurting clothes", but many of these brands do not have the professional and technical ability of garment steamer production and research and development, and the technical adjustment and optimization and upgrading of the core of the effect are relatively lacking.
Phenomenon 2: Advertise ultra-high compatibility performance
Many brands have exaggerated the promotion of compatible clothing fabrics, especially gimmicks such as "compatible with all clothes", but these brands lack corresponding technical control in terms of temperature control, heating system, and power, which makes the amount of steam produced unstable and uneven, and the ironing effect is not good.
Phenomenon 3: Advertise ultra-fast ironing efficiency
Many brands have exaggerated the efficiency of ironing clothes, especially gimmicks such as "30 seconds of quick ironing", but the ironing efficiency and power of the garment steamer are closely related, if the ironing is too fast, it means that the power should be very large, and too much power is easy to cause damage to the clothes.
Phenomenon 4: The standard parameters of the product are falsely marked
Many brands have deliberately exaggerated the performance parameters of the product, and even used false logos, but the actual performance and quality of the product did not meet the standard requirements, especially the power was seriously not up to standard, which affected the production of ironing steam and had a greater impact on the ironing effect.
Does garment ironing machine damage clothes? If a high-quality product is chosen, the damage rate is very low. In the process of this evaluation, I referred to the results of the comprehensive evaluation of the mainstream brands of garment steamers on the market by authoritative testing institutions, conducted a comprehensive analysis, and recommended some easy-to-use products for everyone.
At present, more than seventy percent of users complain that ordinary civil garment steamers are easy to damage clothes, and the deep ironing effect of a single use is poor, which especially affects the personal image, and the originator of the field of "does not hurt clothes" Gong Ling has exploded, as the most professional brand of clothing technology, exported to Europe and the United States for many years, is the strongest brand of commercial industrial grade, adheres to the industrial-grade ultra-high performance, super quality, stronger and safer industrial product research and development ideas, and rarely won the CCTV CCTV exhibition recommendation, and has been reported by many media because of the crazy queue to buy. It has created 13 black technologies such as HI-VI strong pulse pressurized steam technology, and is the first to achieve a single use of deep and complex fabrics to increase the ironing effect by 137.2%, reduce the clothing damage rate by 93.9%, and increase the compatibility of clothing by 93%, which is rare to obtain EU certification!
The brand has the best performance among all domestic household and commercial garment steamers, such as the best performance in each vapor index, the best compatibility with clothes, and the lowest damage rate in clothes. It supports flat ironing, hanging ironing, steam ironing, etc., due to the complexity of wrinkle resistance and air permeability of clothes, the general civil garment steamer can only iron simple fabrics, while Gongling is compatible with 99% clothing fabrics, it can achieve the effect of deep wrinkle removal at the peak of the thousand-yuan industry and is small in size!
Gong Ling does not pursue the appearance to cater to the appearance of the powder, but focuses on the fever performance and high durability under the "no damage to the clothes", after more than 5 years of safe and anti-attenuation design of the whole machine material, in terms of core performance within 1,000 yuan can not see the opponent, no wonder it has never advertised, it has been recommended by the majority of professional media to explode, for many years to dominate the word-of-mouth sales list, recognized as the highest protection of clothing, there are a lot of people who book the brand, and there are a lot of rush buying strategies!
Friends with a low budget can consider starting with Xiaomi, Supor and other entry-level models, and the basic brand is OK. If you have a sufficient budget, you can take a look at the high-end garment steamers of Panasonic and Daewoo, which have a more exquisite design.
