Review on URPOWER Garment Steamer 130ml: Fast Heat-up 7-in-1 Portable Handheld Fabric & Clothes Steamer for Home and Travel - High Capacity with Travel Pouch Included (Not for Abroad) by Doug Powell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great steamer, large water tank, user friendly design and extra safety features

It's no secret in our family that I hate ironing and I've avoided the job very successfully for over 15 years. Whilst we have a great old iron along with 2 ironing boards these items have been left in our back closet where they are sure to collect dust and out of sight. The materials match well, but for a pure cotton garment, my garments are not perfectly ironed. fabrics, but most cotton fabrics remain wrinkled. As an alternative to ironing, I bought my first steamer a few years ago. It was a "Corey Travelaid hand steamer" and it was a disaster. The Corey Travelaid Steamer has a very small water tank as it only holds 2 ounces. Water. The on/off toggle switch is 12 inches on the cord, which is inconvenient. When the steamer is up I can't see the amount of water and there is no auto shut off. Also, there is no indicator light to show the steamer is on and I have to constantly check that it's working as it takes over 3 minutes to heat just 2 ounces. Water. But the worst thing is that the appearance of the steamer gets boiling hot, when I grabbed the steamer to drain the excess water it burned and blistered my palm. In conclusion, I found the Corey Travelaid steamer to be a dangerous product and never used it again. The second steamer I bought was a "Remington Steamer" and it also failed for the following reasons. The Remington has a slightly larger water tank, but this one holds 3 ounces. Water. However, there is NO power switch, when you plug the cord into an outlet, it starts heating immediately, which takes about 4 minutes. Like the Travelaid, the Remington does NOT have a power indicator, auto shut off, or ability to see the amount of water in the steam tank. Aside from these similar flaws, the last dangerous trait applies to this one. The exterior gets boiling hot, which immediately burns and blisters the hand if touched, and the Remington steamer takes a long time to cool down before it's safe to handle. So the Remington steamer is a dangerous product because it has NO power switch and auto shut-off function, and the appearance becomes incredibly hot. URPOWER is my third purchase of a steam iron and this time I got it right because it has additional features and none of the previous disadvantages of a steam iron. This steamer has 5 oz. a water tank that is much larger than my previous two vapers, and my vape's heat-up time is 1 to 2 minutes. The on/off slide switch is on the handle and is comfortable for my thumb, and just below the slide switch is an LED light that glows red when the steamer is on. There are two clear acrylic windows on each side that allow you to see the water from inside the steamer. In addition, this steamer has a safety feature that turns off automatically when the water level is low. However, the most important feature for me is that while it does get warm on the outside, it's never too hot to the touch, so there's NO risk of burning my hand as long as I stay away from the front vents, which is where the vapor comes from. This allows me to drain the excess water and let the steamer air dry for a few minutes before putting it away. This was my own full price purchase, there was no discount or promotion and I did NOT receive this for free. This is a great clothes steamer, it has all the comfort and safety features and I would highly recommend this clothes steamer.
