How to choose
Heat-up time and tank size
Heat-up time is the wait before the steamer makes steam, and tank size is how much water it holds per fill. The NIASSO heats up in 10 seconds with a 0.15 L tank, the OGHom heats up in 20 seconds, the Rolipo heats up in 30 seconds with a 0.4 L tank, the Blesgam heats up in 40 seconds with a 0.12 L tank, and the BSWMHG heats up in 40 seconds with a 0.18 L tank. A shorter heat-up time suits a quick touch-up, while a larger tank suits several garments before refilling.
Steam output and power
Steam output is the flow of steam per minute, and wattage is the power draw of the appliance. The Blesgam gives a steam flow of 25 grams per minute at 700 W, the NIASSO runs at 1,200 W, the OGHom runs at 1,000 W, the Rolipo runs at 1,350 W, and the BSWMHG runs at 800 W. Compare the stated steam flow where a pick gives one, and compare wattage alongside heat-up time and tank size.
Upkeep and storage
After use, clean the steam vents and use purified water where a pick advises it, as the NIASSO advises purified water and cleaning steam vents after each use. Fill only to the MAX line, hold the steamer upright during use where a pick advises it, and store the cord out of walkways. A foldable handle, like the NIASSO 180° foldable handle, helps storage, and a detachable tank, like the OGHom detachable tank, helps refilling.
