After having another supposed “travel steamer” which was bulky and ran out of water quickly it was time for a new one. I hate ironing and especially when I'm traveling for something like a wedding where I have a delicate fabric, I prefer a steamer. I was headed to a wedding with a very easily wrinkled dress which prompted me to buy this one. Not only does it pack well and take up barely any space but it works extremely well! It heats up super quickly and holds a lot of water so that I don't have to take breaks to keep filling it up. I'm able to steam multiple items at once in a very timely fashion. Like I said, I don't like ironing and for most of my clothing a steamer works far better and this one is a great find and I'd highly recommend it! I'm going to use it all the time, not just for travel. I had one of those tall bulky steamers before, but I'm done with that as it takes up too much room this folds neatly and takes up no room.
