How to choose
Steamers warm towels with steam
Some picks are steamers and others are cabinets. The VERYTOP and the EASYINBEAUTY make steam for towels, while the VEVOR, StateRiver and TASALON are cabinets that heat towels inside. A steamer turns water into steam, so it needs water before heating, and a cabinet needs towels placed inside before heating.
Compare heating time and temperature
Heating times differ. The VERYTOP makes steam in 1 minute and reaches 60℃ in 20 minutes, the EASYINBEAUTY heats a towel in 5 minutes to 80°C, and the StateRiver heats a towel in 10 minutes to an average of 158 ℉. The VEVOR heats from 150 to 180℉, and the TASALON holds heat between 149℉ and 158℉. Compare the time and the temperature together, since a fast time with a lower temperature suits a different routine than a slower time with a higher temperature.
Check capacity and size before buying
Capacity is given in liters for cabinets and in towel counts for steamers, while the EASYINBEAUTY steamer also gives a 2.6L tank figure. The VEVOR is an 8L cabinet and the StateRiver and TASALON are 5L cabinets, while the EASYINBEAUTY has a 2.6L tank and holds up to 10 face-sized towels. The VERYTOP fits 3-5 hand towels or 8-10 face towels. Measure the space where the unit will sit, and check which dimensions the listing gives, since only the StateRiver listing gives outside dimensions and the TASALON listing gives inside dimensions only.
