How to choose
Heat-up and tank size
Heat-up runs 20 seconds for the OGHom and 30 seconds for the BEAUTURAL, HiLIFE and Rolipo. Tank size sets how long you steam without a refill: 150 ml for the OGHom, 300 ml for the HiLIFE and 400 ml for the Rolipo, with 15 minutes from the BEAUTURAL and 20 minutes from the HiLIFE. Match the tank to the number of garments you steam in one session.
Suction and soleplates
The Rowenta grips fabric with 3300 Pa suction while its XL 7 sq. in. heated ceramic soleplate smooths hems, edges, cuffs and collars. The BEAUTURAL has a ceramic heating plate. The HiLIFE has a metal panel for wrinkle removal on all fabrics. A larger soleplate covers more fabric per pass, while suction holds the fabric still for one-hand use.
Steaming curtains upright
Curtains hang vertically, so the steamer must work in that position. The BEAUTURAL steams vertically or horizontally, the HiLIFE works at 360 degrees, and the Rolipo stays leak-proof only when held upright. Keep the unit vertical for the Rolipo, and hold curtains taut while you pass the steamer down each panel.
