How to choose
Handheld size for a small room
A handheld unit takes less floor space than a standing unit, which matters in a small room. The Rowenta weighs 3 lb, the BEAUTURAL weighs 2.18 lb, and the OGHom weighs 1.26 lb, and each is a handheld unit. The SALAV is a standing unit that weighs 9 lb and measures 65 inches tall, with roll wheels and a foldable hanger for storage.
Tank size and steam time
Tank size sets how long a steamer runs before a refill. The Rowenta tank holds 7.1 oz for up to 12 minutes of steaming, the BEAUTURAL tank holds 200 ml, and the OGHom tank holds 240 ml for 15 minutes of continuous steaming. The SALAV tank holds 1.8 L for up to 60 minutes. Match the tank to the length of a steaming session.
Heat-up time and controls
Heat-up time sets how soon steaming starts. The Rowenta heats in 10 seconds, the BEAUTURAL in 30 seconds, the Conair in 35 seconds, and the SALAV in 45 seconds. Controls differ too: the Rowenta has 5 settings and the Conair has two heat settings. For plates, only the BEAUTURAL names a ceramic plate, a 310°F thermostatic ceramic plate for dual steam and dry ironing, with a burst steam button.
