We’ve all been there: You open your suitcase after a day of travel only to see your once meticulously packed clothes now fully covered in wrinkles. This is where travel steamers come into play: They’re far more convenient than an iron and they’re small enough to keep in a checked suitcase. HiLife’s steamer, which has over 125,000 reviews on Amazon, is a bestseller and on sale for almost 50% off, putting it at its lowest price this year.
Below, I talk more about the steamer’s features and what makes it worth taking with you on your next trip.
This steamer weighs less than 2 pounds and is around 7.5 inches wide and 7 inches tall (about the size of the new Kindle Paperwhite), making it easy to store in your laundry area with your detergent or with you in a suitcase. It’s safe to use on several fabrics, including cotton, linen, wool, chiffon, nylon and more, according to the brand. Some numbers to keep in mind: It has an 8-ounce capacity (and a fill line to keep track) as well as a 9-foot power cord, a 2-minute heat-up time and a 15-minute run-time for continuous steaming. For the best results, the brand recommends only using distilled or purified water with the steamer.
