When it comes to looking polished on the go, nothing beats the convenience of a travel steamer. Whether you’re heading to a weekend getaway or business trip, a good travel steamer — like the Conair Handheld Garment Steamer I swear by — will become your go-to for freshening up your wardrobe. Unlike traditional irons, travel steamers offer quick and easy wrinkle removal without the need for an ironing board, making them perfect for frequent travelers.

Our Travel + Leisure team tested eight travel steamers to assess ease of use, performance, portability, durability, and value. We evaluated and compared each option based on heating time, wrinkle-busting performance on different fabrics, cord length, packability, and more. (Read more about our comprehensive testing process below). We will continue testing our picks for six more months to ensure each option’s reliability and durability, and we will update this article if anything should change. Scroll down below to find your next travel steamer that ensures you’re always prepared to look your best, no matter where your travels take you.

Best Overall

Electrolux garment steamer.

This steamer has the largest water capacity on our list, which comes in handy when you’re steaming multiple items consecutively. 

Packing it in tight spaces may be challenging since the head does not fold. 

This Electrolux Handheld Steamer is the Goldilocks of our list: everything is just right. From a large water tank to an 8-foot-long cord and multiple steam settings, this steamer strikes the perfect balance between convenience and performance. We tested this steamer twice to make sure it deserved our best overall spot, and it held up thanks to its light weight, powerful steam output, and wide plate that helped cover a wide surface area on each garment. The steamer heats up quickly — though for best results, a five-minute warm-up is recommended — and has a fixed steam trigger that will automatically provide continuous steam without the need to hold it down. We used it on various fabrics, including tuxedos, slacks, linen shirts, and button-down shirts, and each item came out fresh and crisp. When we tested this steamer in our lab during our final round of testing, we were able to steam four clothing items top to bottom, including a thick, wrinkled blazer, without having to refill the tank. We especially loved the ergonomic handle that saved us from hand cramps during extended use. 

The Details: 1 pound | 8 x 3 x 3.5 inches | 10-ounce tank | 8-foot cord | 2 steam settings | 18-minute steam time per fill

Best Lightweight

Nesugar steamer for clothes.

The adjustable head gives you options to steam vertically and horizontally.

When the tank is completely full, it tends to spit out some water when you turn it on. 

Whether we tested this steamer out on trips or at home, it made quick work of everything from cotton shirts and dresses to wrinkled Roman blinds. And above all, we ranked this steamer high for being so lightweight that you barely even notice that it’s in your bag — perfect to throw into a tote or a carry-on suitcase during travel. The steamer heats up in less than 20 seconds and features a 90-degree rotating head, adding versatility by allowing vertical or horizontal use. The two-button operation is straightforward, though the cord's length was a bit limiting, and the initial water spitting from a full tank was a minor inconvenience. Despite these quirks, its small size and fast heat-up time make it a great choice for frequent travelers when you don’t want to add extra weight to your bag. 

The Details: 12.8 ounces | 3.1 x 1.65 x 8.9 inches | 6-foot cord | 1 steam setting | 10-minute steam time per fill

Most Compact

Polardo hand held portable travel garment steamer.

Its compact size, quick heat-up time, and effective wrinkle-busting power make it a top choice for travel.

This steamer is not compatible for international travel. 

We dub this one the “little steamer that could.” Despite its small size, this steamer delivers impressive performance, heating up in just 25 seconds and effectively smoothing out wrinkles from a variety of fabrics like cotton, linen, and blends. Its lightweight design — just over a pound — and compact size made it easy to pack, fitting comfortably into a weekender bag or carry-on. The detachable, magnetic water tank simplifies refilling, and the steamer’s consistent steam output effectively tackled wrinkles on multiple garments. With a cord over 7 feet long, it offers decent flexibility, though it might require some adjustment for different hotel setups — and you won’t be able to use it for international travel.

The Details: 1.2 pounds | 3.54 x 2.36 x 7.87 inches | 7-foot-7-inch cord | 4-ounce tank | 1 steam setting | 10-minute steam time per fill

Best Heavy-duty

Conair extremesteam fabric steamer.

This steamer has more steam settings and a longer use time than most others we’ve tested, plus it's very durable.

It’s the heaviest and largest of all the steamers on this list.

I can personally vouch for this steamer because it’s my go-to for travel and at home, having survived several trips and bag checks throughout the years. The steamer heats up in just 40 seconds and features an easy-to-grip handle, attachments, and adjustable steam settings for precise wrinkle removal. Despite its 3.5-pound weight, which might be cumbersome for some travelers, the steamer’s durability and performance makes it worth taking along if you have the space, especially since its L-shaped design and detachable tank make it easy to pack. This Conair option is a solid investment, especially for those who need a reliable steamer that works as well at home as it does on the go.

“I mostly steamed some of my cotton button-up shirts, which are notoriously prone to wrinkles and usually better tackled with a traditional iron,” says T+L senior editor Jasmine Grant . “I was impressed with how effective this steamer got the wrinkles out. I used the attached creaser on the hood of the steamer to get those tough to steam areas like the collar and sleeves, which helped me press those areas down flat. Genius feature!”

The Details: 3.6 pounds | 8 x 5.6 x 13.6 inches | 7.3-ounce tank | 5 steam settings | 20-minute steam time per fill

Best Iron/Steamer Combo

Nori the nori press.

The steamer’s design, resembling a hair straightener, is easy to use and helps cut down steaming time.

The steam tank is small, so be prepared to refill it often (though you can still use it without the steam).

The Nori handheld steamer, tested on a variety of fabrics including linen, cotton, and denim, proved to be a standout performer. It heats up quickly, in under a minute, and its intuitive fabric settings make it easy to use, much like a high-tech hair straightener for clothes. The steamer's compact, lightweight design — just 1.4 pounds — makes it easy to pack and carry, whether in a suitcase or a weekender bag. It effectively combines the benefits of an iron and a steamer, allowing for quick wrinkle removal on both sides of garments simultaneously as you press it down directly on the clothing. Though it requires frequent refilling due to its small tank, it compensates with its six versatile fabric settings. 

“I found the design easier to use than other travel steamers I’ve tried, maybe because I’ve been using hair tools with a similar design my whole life,” says T+L testing editor Jackie Cucco . “I also love how you can switch between fabric settings so easily, and it will tell you to use it for poly, silk, wool, cotton, denim, or linen, so you don't have to guess.”

The Details: 1.4 pounds | 15.5 x 4 x 4 inches long | 0.98-ounce tank | 8-foot cord | 6 steam settings | 10-minute steam time per fill

Best for Thick Fabrics

Hilife steamer.

The steamer's large water tank allows for 20-25 minutes of continuous use, making it efficient for multiple garments before needing a refill.

The steamer is on the bulkier side, which can make it less ideal for tight travel packing.

This HiLife steamer, which we tested on a range of fabrics from silk pajamas to linen pants and work shirts, delivers solid performance with its single "on" setting. We love the long cord length (the longest out of all the steamers on this list), which provides added flexibility and convenience, eliminating the need for constant repositioning. It takes about four to five minutes to start producing steam, which is visible through a window on the steamer. Despite its straightforward design, with an easy-to-fill water tank and a basic plastic handle, this steamer handles wrinkles efficiently, offering up to 20-25 minutes of continuous steam before needing a refill. Although it feels a bit bulky compared to other travel steamers and may not fit easily into a tightly packed suitcase, it functions well without leaks or malfunctions. One thing to note is that the fill line is located in the middle of the water tank, so you may be tempted to ignore it and fill it higher (like we did), but hot water will start spurting out, so follow the instructions and don’t overfill it.

The Details: 1.7 pounds | 6.8 x 5.5 x 7 inches | 8.1-ounce tank | 9.2-foot cord | 1 steam setting | 15-minute steam time per fill

Best Budget

Bear travel steamer.

You can’t beat this price for anyone needing a portable, effective steamer.

This steamer does not have a steam lock feature.

Despite having only one setting, this steamer removes wrinkles with just a few passes, even on delicate fabrics, though not as powerfully as some of the other steamers on this list. It heats up quickly, within 10-15 seconds, and the consistent steam output ensures efficient wrinkle removal without sputtering. The lightweight and compact design made it easy to pack in a small, already-stuffed weekender bag. While the small water tank requires frequent refilling, the steamer's portability and performance make it a fantastic value at $20. Although it lacks a continuous steam setting and requires holding the button down, these are minor trade-offs for its impressive price, results, and convenience. 

The Details: 1.45 pounds | 8.4 x 6 x 3 inches | 4.05-ounce tank | 6-foot cord | 1 steam setting | 10-15-minute steam time per fill

Other Travel Steamers We Liked

One additional travel steamer we tested couldn’t quite earn a spot on our list due to minor issues but still had notable features that may meet the needs of some travelers.

Rowenta Steamer : This steamer is heavier than it appears, and while it fit into a carry-on, its size — reminiscent of an old-fashioned hair dryer — makes it a better fit for a checked suitcase or larger carry-on. Despite its weight, it heats up impressively fast and removes wrinkles efficiently, though the tiny water tank limits it to steaming one garment at a time.

Travel + Leisure / Jhett Thompson

Our T+L team tested eight travel steamers in everyday scenarios to assess portability, ease of use, performance, durability, and value. We assessed each steamer's weight and how it fit into various travel bags, from personal items to checked suitcases, to determine its portability. We gauged ease of use by how simple it was to fill the water tank, maneuver the steamer, and adjust settings if available.

Performance tests focused on how quickly the steamer heated up, the effectiveness of the steam in removing wrinkles, and how long a single tank of water lasted. We noted any issues with sputtering or leaking during use. For durability, we examined the quality of materials and any signs of wear after extensive testing. Lastly, we evaluated each steamer's value for money, comparing its price against its performance and quality to determine if the cost is justified.

We retested four steamers (from Electrolux, HiLife, Rowenta, and Bear) in our New York City lab to directly compare them against each other and to better assess the most appropriate categories for those products. For that lab test, we prepacked a selection of clothing overnight as messily as we could to make the garments as wrinkled as possible, including a blazer, trousers, a button-down shirt, and a long dress. We steamed a different set of wrinkled clothing with each steamer to note what made each one stand out among the pack.

Our ongoing plan includes further testing over six months to track each steamer’s long-term performance and durability. We’ll continue to document portability, practicality, and overall reliability, updating our findings as necessary.

Tips for Buying a Travel Steamer

Prioritize portability.

A compact steamer is ideal for carry-ons or personal items, but remember that smaller sizes often mean smaller water tanks, which may require more frequent refills. Balancing portability with functionality is key for a smooth travel experience. Ensure the steamer fits comfortably into your preferred travel bags, whether it’s a carry-on, weekender, or checked suitcase. A lightweight steamer will be easier to handle and pack, making it a more convenient option for frequent travelers. 

Think about types of garments you typically steam

If you frequently steam thicker fabrics like blazers, look for a steamer with higher power or steam output. For those packing a variety of outfits, including silk, cotton, linen, and denim, a steamer with multiple steam settings will offer the versatility needed to handle different materials effectively.

Look for extra features and attachments

Some, but not all, steamers come with additional features like a creaser, built-in irons, or lint removers. Special attachments can enhance versatility and functionality, helping you tackle a range of fabrics and garment types more efficiently. Make sure you know what your steamer includes when you buy it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by filling the steamer's water tank. Most travel steamers have a removable tank or a small opening for easy filling. Plug in the steamer and turn it on. Allow it to heat up; this usually takes a minute or two. Some models will have an indicator light or sound to signal when it's ready. 

Hold the steamer upright and press the steam button to start the flow of steam. Gently move the steamer over the wrinkled areas of your garment, either holding the fabric taut or steaming it while it hangs. Some models allow you to use the steamer while the garment is flat on a surface.

After use, turn off and unplug the steamer. Empty any remaining water from the tank, and let it cool down before storing. 

The primary difference between a steamer and an iron is each tool’s method of wrinkle removal. A steamer uses hot steam, which helps to smooth out wrinkles without direct contact. In contrast, an iron uses direct heat and pressure to press wrinkles out of clothing. It requires physical contact with the fabric, which can sometimes lead to burns or shiny spots if not used carefully. While irons can provide a crisp, pressed look, steamers are often quicker and gentler, making them suitable for a wider range of fabrics and easier to use on items that are hanging.

Yes, you can generally bring a travel steamer on an airplane or cruise ship, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind. For airplanes, most airlines allow travel-size steamers in carry-on or checked luggage, but remember to empty out the water tank to avoid any issues at security. On cruise ships, steamers are usually permitted in your cabin, but it's a good idea to confirm with the cruise line before your trip because some ships have specific policies or restrictions on electrical appliances. Even when flying, checking with your transportation provider is always a good idea.

Always confirm the voltage specifications of your steamer before traveling, and consider investing in a universal adapter and voltage converter if needed to ensure your steamer functions properly abroad. Most travel steamers operate on 110/120V — including all items on this list — which is standard in the U.S. and some other countries. If you’re traveling to a country with a different voltage standard, such as 220/240V, you’ll need a voltage converter to use your steamer safely.

Even the most seasoned travelers open their suitcase after landing and find themselves with a daunting task ahead: deciding if their wrinkled clothes can get by with a thorough shake out or if reinforcements are needed. Of course, most hotel rooms are equipped with irons, but the task of setting up the ironing board and fitting each article of clothing just right can feel overwhelming. Not to mention, some pieces are too delicate for harsh heat. But is it easy to travel with a clothing steamer instead?

When I set out to find the best travel steamer a few years ago, I admit, I was hesitant about such a practical item taking up precious carry-on space. But when traveling as a family of four, as I often do, an ironing board set-up can quickly become a catch-all for toys, shopping bags, or electronics and simply gets in the way. Since I began testing these steamers, it’s rare I leave home without one.

Of the 13 steamers I've tested, my favorite models have one thing in common: a metal soleplate, allowing you to touch the steamer to the clothing to smooth out tricky spots. While steamers are mostly celebrated for their ability to get the wrinkles out, they also kill 99 percent of bacteria. Important to note, most steamers come with the recommendation of distilled water to keep the sediment buildup at bay, which I did not use as most of us don’t have easy access to it when we travel.

This article has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

• Most leakproof steamer

Best two-in-one steamer

How i tested:.

Each steamer has been tested on jeans, khakis, T-shirts , button-down shirts , linens, blouses, and jackets based on the following criteria:

• Size/packability : Does it fit into a weekender or carry-on?
• Power/efficiency: Is it faster and easier than setting up and using the hotel iron? Or at least just as good?
• Water capacity: How many times do you have to refill the reservoir to steam an entire outfit?
• Leakproof: Will you be late to dinner while waiting for the wet spots to dry?
• Durability/longevity : Is the quality going to withstand enough trips to make the steamer worth packing and purchasing?

Can I travel with a portable steamer?

Most travel steamers will fit into a carry-on and can go through TSA without any issues; just make sure any remaining liquid from the reservoir has been emptied before getting to the airport.

Is a portable steamer worth it?

If you are going to a formal event or know you’re packing clothes that are famous for wrinkling, then yes, it's worth adding to your suitcase. A new perk I’ve recently come to love about steamers is I actually pack less clothing knowing I have a way to freshen up an item I want to rewear. This makes packing a simpler capsule wardrobe all the more possible. As someone who typically only uses a carry-on, I do value my space and find the steamer to be an easy item to remove should I be running short on room. Below, the six best travel steamers to pack on your next trip.

I have a new favorite steamer. While the Nesugar handheld steamer used to be my most-used, the Proctor Silex 2-in-1 compact garment steamer has moved into the top spot for me. It’s only seven ounces heavier than the Nesugar model and steams continuously for almost 10 minutes without needing to refill the reservoir. Plus, it works effectively on every type of garment—even jeans with stubborn wrinkles. Often we don’t know where or how many outlets our hotel or Airbnb will have, so the 10-foot cord on this steamer is much appreciated, as it allows you to move around comfortably. Surprisingly, this is also the most affordable steamer at $20. If you are someone who will only travel with a steamer for special occasions, this one is a safe choice.

Weight: 1.63 lbs. Water tank capacity : 4 oz. What I like most: Affordable, de-wrinkles all fabrics, heats up in 45 seconds, effective brush attachment Where there's room for improvement: Reservoir can be hard to completely empty

I've used this steamer regularly for over a year, and very much appreciate the smart design. The Nesugar portable steamer weighs less than a pound, but produces a solid stream of steam. With a small reservoir, I was surprised the water lasted for almost 10 minutes, allowing for five items to be de-wrinkled (though it was not powerful enough for jeans). There is a button to turn the steam on, but you don’t have to hold it down, which I like. The metal soleplate allows for an ironing option, which is what I ended up using to smooth out the jeans. An adjustable head not only makes the steamer compact, but gives you the option to steam at different angles. Originally, I wondered if frequent adjusting of the head would loosen the feature, but it is still going strong after countless trips. The unit also comes with a wall mount so you always have a place to hang it at home.

Weight: 12.8 oz. What I like most: Lightweight and packable, adjustable head, comes with a wall mount Where there's room for improvement: Works best on lighter fabrics

One of the more expensive steamers I tested, the Conair is definitely the winner in terms of power and functionality—a T-shirt can be good as new in less than a minute. While the steamer can blast wrinkles from jackets, you can also lower the setting for more delicate items. The Conair turbo is the only steamer I tested that had various settings to choose from. It even has a built-in creaser, if that’s your thing. Because the steamer is more powerful, it uses more water, so refills are necessary after a few items (depending on the fabric and intensity of the wrinkles, of course). The Conair Turbo would’ve taken the top spot if it were more compact for traveling (its dimensions are 13" x 8" x 6", making it a bit bulky for carry-ons). If you find yourself using an iron a lot at home, this steamer may actually be your best bet.

Weight: 3.2 lbs. Water tank capacity : 6.6 oz. What I like most: Can de-wrinkle anything, various settings to choose from, quick heat-up Where there's room for improvement: Hard to fill with its small opening, on the larger size for travel

This is by far the most aesthetically pleasing steamer I tested and ranks number two for packability. With a 30-second warm up and automatic steam (no trigger to hold), the Seekclass was off to a good start, but it did take four minutes to steam one pair of pants and I had to utilize the metal soleplate in order to get the job done. The reservoir is tiny, so I had to refill it before I could finish the pants, too. Because the hole to refill is so small, it’s also hard to get out any remaining water when you’re ready to pack up the unit. Knowing this, it’s smart to let the steamer dry out at your earliest convenience to keep any build-up from forming.

Weight: 1.4 pounds Water tank capacity : 3.5 oz. What I like most: Its foldable handle is great for travel, metal soleplate, quick heat-up Where there's room for improvement: Leaks when on its side; has small, hard-to-fill reservoir; heavier material requires at least one refill

International travelers will be happy about the automatic dual voltage with this steamer. While the heat up is quick (about 20 seconds), the reservoir of the steamer is painfully hot—so be sure to only hold on to the handle. Unfortunately, the high temperature of the reservoir requires a pause between fill-ups, but you can get three items done with one tank. My favorite feature is the automatic steam from the get-go, which means your fingers get a rest from holding down the trigger button that comes with many other steamers. The main reason this steamer remains on the final list is for its appeal to those who frequently travel abroad.

Weight: 1.2 lbs. Water tank capacity : 3.4 oz. What I like most: Dual voltage, collapsible handle for travel, automatic heat-up (no power button), no trigger needed to release steam Where there's room for improvement: Cannot promptly refill reservoir because the tank gets so hot

Most leakproof

I tend to gravitate toward the hybrid steamers that can also be used as an iron. The large iron plate on the Steamery Cirrus 3 is almost as efficient as a full-size iron, but I could only steam three items with one tank of water. Something that stands out with this steamer is its ability to remain leak-free. This is one of the most important features for me as I tend to travel with a busy itinerary, which means I may be steaming in a hurry and the last thing I want to do is take out a hair dryer to dissolve the wet spots left behind by the steamer. I even gave it a bit of a shake test and nothing spilled. Where this steamer falls short, honestly, is the price.

Weight : 1.8 lbs. Water tank capacity : 3 oz. What I like most: Large iron plate, completely leakproof, quick heat-up Where there's room for improvement: Expensive price point, reservoir empties after three garments

Rounding out our list of the best travel steamers is this hybrid steamer/iron that comes highly recommended by senior editor Megan Spurrell . “I was drawn to the Nori steamer because of its sleek design—two-in-ones are always ideal for travel, and not needing an ironing board seemed like a plus,” Spurrell says. “I put it to the test the day of my destination wedding this past month, on both my dress and my husband's linen suit. It did get the job done, and both functions (steaming and ironing) deliver.”

The unique, compact steamer features two aluminum plates that can simultaneously iron the front and back of a garment, getting the job done in half the time. Another perk: It offers six fabric settings (polyester, silk, wool, cotton, denim, and linen)—so no matter what you pack, you can rest assured it will be wrinkle-free and free of any damage when it's time to wear.

Weight : 1.4 lbs.  Water tank capacity : 1 oz.  What I like most: Double plates, dual voltage, automatic shut-off after 10 minutes of no movement Where there's room for improvement: Its tiny reservoir means it's best reserved for smaller jobs; it can be tiring to hold while smoothing out a very crinkled shirt.

The 6 Best Travel Steamers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Wrinkles? We don't know them thanks to these small but mighty steamers

• Why Trust The Spruce

The Spruce / Leticia Almeida

Having a travel steamer on hand means you'll be able to freshen up an outfit in minutes, whether you're comfortably at home, or on a trip with a suitcase full of wrinkly clothes. We've tested more than 40 clothes steamers in The Lab and in our own homes, measuring each one's heat time, water tank capacity, and overall effectiveness against deep-set wrinkles on linen, cotton, and silk.

After all our testing, we can say: don't let a travel steamer's compact size fool you. These units are light enough to pack into a carry-on or duffel bag, or store in your bathroom vanity —yet they deliver, on average, ten minutes of powerful steam. You may need a funnel in order to fill up their water tank without making a mess but with just a few up-and-down motions, your clothes will be ready. The models below are the best options to reach for when you're in a pinch—or should we say wrinkle ?

Editor's Note: This review was updated in July 2024 with new buying considerations for three of our six favorites.

Best Overall

Brookline steamer.

Pink or black design

Wide-mouthed reservoir for easy and clean filling

Good water tank capacity

Performs better when tank is more than halfway full

The ideal travel steamer should be lightweight, as small as possible, and able to decrease wrinkles in a matter of minutes. We saw in our testing that the Brookline Handheld Garment Steamer hits all of the above notes, and has a few extra conveniences that set it apart from the pack.

The design (sort of like an elongated teapot) is easy to use or pack, and the wide-mouthed reservoir is a breeze to fill—even if you're dealing with the limitations of a hotel sink, there's no need for a funnel. The 6.1-ounce capacity is in the middle of our picks, too, which range from roughly 4 to 10 ounces. Now, it is easy to go through this amount of water in a single steam session, but that's to be expected from most travel steamers. This one strikes a good balance between being compact enough for travel, but still a useful shape and size for functionality.

For us, it took about two and a half minutes to heat up. This was a bit longer than our typical experience, but is still within reason in our eyes. There's one steam setting, so depending on your materials (and the severity of their wrinkles), you may need to fill up the container in between garments. This steamer does perform better when the tank is more than half full, so you'll really want to stay on top of the water level either way.

Lastly, we were able to acquire a pink version of this steamer to test, but that color is not always available—if a colorful steamer is a priority for you, check out the Polardo Handheld Travel Garment Steamer , which comes in eight different options.

Weight:  1.57 pounds |  Water Tank Capacity:  6.1 ounces |  Heat Time:  2.5 minutes |  Steam Time:  10 minutes |  Power Level:  800 watts

Best Overall, Runner-Up

Electrolux garment steamer.

12-foot power cord

Heats up instantly

Trigger lock for continuous steam

Smaller mouth on water reservoir

Not as compact as other picks

We've raved about the Electrolux Garment Steamer before, giving it the top spot among clothes steamers of all shapes and sizes. We definitely recommend it as a travel steamer, too. It's relatively compact and heats up almost instantly, and the handle has a trigger lock so you can have continuous steam without having to keep a finger on the button. This especially came in handy when we used it to steam a pair of jeans during our testing. Denim is a tall order for any steamer, and while it took multiple passes, it made a noticeable improvement.

Although, we do have a few caveats with this steamer, since it isn't quite as small as some of our other picks. It's perhaps the sort of steamer you could comfortably tuck in a suitcase, as opposed to squeeze into a carry-on. The water tank is 10 ounces large (our other picks are 4 and 6 ounces), and the 12-foot cord doesn't retract, so you'll need to wind it and make room for that in your bag, too.

Lastly, the smaller mouth on the water reservoir is easier to fill when you use a funnel—which could be hard to come by in a hotel room if you don't think ahead and pack one. Still, we'd call this a good steamer to have on hand. You'll be able to bring it with you when you travel, but will also want to unpack it so you can use it full-time at home, too.

Weight:  1.99 pounds |  Water Tank Capacity:  10 ounces |  Heat Time:  Immediate |  Steam Time:  18 minutes |  Power Level:  1500 watts

Best Compact

Isteam steamer for clothes.

Release button for water tank

High-quality brush attachment

Not as effective in horizontal position

If you don't want to sacrifice any more suitcase space than is absolutely necessary, the iSteam Steamer is a great choice. This sleek little device blew us away, heating up in less than a minute and delivering enough steam to remove wrinkles in just a few quick passes.

This steamer has a water tank mounted to the front, and an easy-to-press button releases the tank for easy filling (and since the water tank is roughly 4 ounces, that's an important feature). All of its pieces are made from thick, durable plastic, and we were even impressed with the quality of its brush attachment, which had significantly more bristles than other options.

You can even use this steamer at an angle thanks to its no-drip design—though, we found it was less effective in a horizontal position, as the steam tends to taper off a bit.

Weight: 1.55 pounds | Water Tank Capacity:  4.1 ounces | Power Level: 900 watts | Heat Time:  25 seconds | Steam Time:  10 minutes

Easiest to Pack

Beautural foldable handheld steamer.

Folding design

Steady steam output

Storage bag included

Small water compartment is a bit difficult to fill

If you're trying to fit everything into your carry-on, then the Beautural Foldable Handle Steamer is worth a close look. It's the only pick of the bunch that has a foldable design (much like a hair dryer you might find as a hotel amenity), so if you're in need of the most space-saving of the bunch, we think this is it. It comes with a bag too, which can be used for travel and home storage.

Along with the convenience of its size and shape, this Beautural steamer's performance impressed us, too. The water compartment is just over 5 ounces and it's designed well, so we didn't experience any leaking or sputtering.

Filling the water container took a bit of trial-and-error to get the water flow just right for the small opening, but we made it work. All said and done, the steam comes out steadily, and we were even able to get through some deep creases on heavy drapes in one go.

Weight: 1.43 pounds | Water Tank Capacity:  5.1 ounces | Power Level: 1000 watts | Heat Time:  47 seconds | Steam Time:  15 minutes

Best Lightweight

Polardo hand held portable travel garment steamer.

Brush attachment included

8 color choices

Heats up in 20 seconds

Clicking sound while in use

Some water sputtering

The Polardo Handheld Travel Garment Steamer is what you should consider if every ounce of weight in your suitcase matters. Aside from the sleek design, this steamer took roughly 20 seconds to heat up, while our best overall was a full 2.5 minutes. This one also has one of the smallest water tank capacities (4 ounces), and is the lightest weight of our picks.

The Polardo steamer also comes in eight colors total (including some fun ones like purple and red), so you can easily spot it among your packing cubes and laundry. The Polardo also includes a brush attachment, which we liked—it allowed us to get close, but not too close to our material.

The steamer did spit some hot water when we were getting started with it, though. This isn't unheard of for clothes steamers, and something we learned to work through with many models that we've tested. We also heard a bit of a clicking noise while it was in use; the manual did note that this could happen when the water level was low, but for us it happened even with a full tank.

We Also Like

Beautural steamer for clothes.

Includes several handy accessories

Great for creating creases

Longer steam time than average

Somewhat bulky design

Accessories allow you to do more with your travel steamer, and the Beautural Steamer comes with three handy attachments: a brush, a lint brush, and a crease clip. This steamer is on the larger side, making it slightly bulky to travel with, but in testing, we liked that it's able to remove most wrinkles within a few passes. We were also impressed with the crease clip, which made crisp, clean creases with just one pass.

The Beautural Steamer only takes a minute or so to heat up, and its water tank delivers up to 15 minutes of steam. We liked that it has a locking trigger for continuous steaming—the only thing we didn't like is that the water tank opening is tiny and awkwardly placed, making it tricky to fill without spilling.

Weight: 2 pounds | Water Tank Capacity:  8.8 ounces | Power Level: 1200 watts | Heat Time:  30 seconds | Steam Time:  15 minutes

Final Verdict

The best travel steamer is the Brookline Handheld Garment Steamer : a compact yet powerful option that's lightweight, easy to use, and a cinch to fill thanks to the wide reservoir mouth. We also love the Electrolux Garment Steamer that heats up almost instantly and has a trigger lock that'll allow you to steam continuously, without having to press a button at the same time.

How We Tested the Travel Steamers

We've tested more than 40 clothes and travel steamers in The Lab and at home. Our tests can vary, but always include assessments of the following categories.

• Setup: To start, we unbox and set up each steamer, noting how clear the instructions are and how intuitive the design of the steamer is.
• Heat Time: We evaluate the heat time of each steamer by timing how long it takes to heat up.
• Effectiveness: We use household garments, like linen pants, cotton shirts, linen napkins, and silk tops to test the effectiveness of each steamer. If there are any attachments, we give those a try, too.
• Portability: We note how easy each steamer is to hold or carry. In some tests, we put the travel steamer in a packed carry-on bag to see if it would be practical in your suitcase and if it drastically alters the bag's weight.
• Overall Value: Lastly, we use our hands-on experience to rate the overall value of the product, and decide if it's worth the cost.

What to Look for in a Travel Steamer

The heat and steam time.

When comparing different steamers, you'll want to look at their heat and steam times. The former indicates how long the unit takes to heat up and be ready for use, while the latter indicates how long the steamer runs when the tank is full. The longer the steam time, and the larger the water reservoir capacity, the more garments you can often de-wrinkle in one steaming session, without having to run to the sink to refill the tank.

"I like [a steamer] that has a decent amount of continuous run time—10 minutes, at least—so that you don't have to stop and refill several times," notes Melissa Maker of Clean My Space. While portable or travel steamers sometimes sacrifice a longer steam time for their small size (and thus, smaller water tank), all of the models in our roundup have steam times of 10 minutes or more.

The Electrolux Garment Steamer 's steam time clocks in at 18 minutes, and this steamer heats up almost instantly, too, meaning you can de-wrinkle your clothes sooner rather than later.

How Portable (and Packable) It Is

A steamer's size not only impacts its steam time, but it also determines how packable it is in your suitcase. If you're going to be packing a steamer in your suitcase, it should ideally be compact and lightweight—otherwise, it will prevent you from packing other necessities.

The unit's weight will also impact its usability and how packable it is, since you likely don't want to add to much weight to your suitcase or carry-on bag. "A steamer should be a manageable weight, comfortable to hold, and nicely balanced, so it's not too top or bottom-heavy," says Maker.

All of our selections weigh 2 pounds or less, with the Polardo Handheld Travel Garment Steamer weighing the least (1.2 pounds).

To produce steam, travel steamers need to generate water temperatures of more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit. That means you need to use any clothes steamer with care , to avoid accidental burns and spills. For use with heavier fabrics, temperatures can reach as high as 395 degrees Fahrenheit on many standard clothes steamers, but the less-powerful travel varieties don't often reach these temperatures.

While they may seem similar, steamers and clothes irons serve different purposes in the laundry room.

Steamers use hot steam to relax fibers within a fabric, while irons are used to press and smooth fabric and create creases. Further, steamers are typically used vertically on hanging garments, while irons require a horizontal surface, such as an ironing board .

Tested and reviewed: the best travel steamer to pack in your suitcase

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Even the most seasoned travellers open their suitcase after landing and find themselves with a daunting task ahead: deciding if their wrinkled clothes can get by with a thorough shake out or if reinforcements are needed.

Of course, most hotel rooms are equipped with irons, but the task of setting up the ironing board can feel overwhelming. Not to mention, some hotel irons aren't so trustworthy, while some fabrics are too delicate for harsh heat. Enter our swanky new friend, the travel steamer.

When I set out to find the best travel steamer, I admit, I was hesitant about such a practical item taking up precious carry-on space. But when travelling as a family of four, as I often do, an ironing board set-up can quickly become a catch-all for toys, shopping bags, or electronics and simply get in the way. After testing these steamers, I’ll be leaving the iron tucked away.

Of the 10 steamers tested, my favourite models had one thing in common: a metal soleplate, allowing you to touch the steamer to the clothing to smooth out tricky spots. While steamers are mostly celebrated for their ability to get wrinkles out, they also kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria. It's also important to note that most steamers come with the recommendation of distilled water to keep the sediment buildup at bay. I did not use this as most of us don’t have easy access to it when we travel.

Each steamer has been tested and reviewed on jeans, khakis, t-shirts, button-down shirts, blouses, and jackets based on the following criteria:

• Size/packability : Does it fit into a weekender or carry-on ?
• Power/efficiency: Is it faster and easier than setting up and using the hotel iron? Or at least just as good?
• Water capacity: How many times do you have to refill the reservoir to steam an entire outfit?
• Leakproof: Will you be late to dinner while waiting for the wet spots to dry?
• Durability/longevity : Is the quality going to withstand enough trips to make the steamer worth packing and purchasing?

Which is the best travel steamer?

Below, our top four models to buy now.

The design here is just smart. The steamer weighs less than 500 grams, but produces a solid stream of steam. With a small reservoir, I was surprised the water lasted for almost 10 minutes, allowing for five items to be de-wrinkled (though it was not powerful enough for jeans). There is a button to turn the steam on, but you don’t have to hold it down, which I appreciated. The metal soleplate allows for an ironing option, which is what I ended up using to smooth out the jeans. An adjustable head not only makes the seamer compact but gives you the option to steam at different angles. I did wonder if frequent adjusting of the head would loosen the feature, but the steamer seems to be quite solid and well-made. The unit also comes with a wall mount so you always have a place to hang the garment at home.

Weight: 0.3 kg

Size : 22.6 x 7.9 x 4.2cm

Pros: Lightweight and packable, adjustable head, Comes with wall mount, powerful

Cons: Works best on lighter fabrics only

This Tefal steamer comes in a very close second place and, if you’re looking for an inexpensive option, then it clinches the win – it’s nearly half the price of the model above. It’s a million times better than the cheap Amazon product I was using before, removing wrinkles in record time, with a swift 15 second heat-up time. It’s lightweight, comes with a handy bag for travel and an attachment that removes lint as it steams. Unlike my old steamer, this one can also tackle clothes on flat surfaces, which means no more worrying about burnt fingers and I can press out collars and sleeves more effectively. For travel especially, I love how slim it is – it will easily squeeze into any remaining suitcase space in even tightly packed bags. It’s a winner. Olivia Morelli

Weight: 700g

Size: H32 x W14 x D6cm

Pros: Very light, slimline, comes with travel pouch, can be used for stubborn creases

Cons: Small, so can only do two or three items at a time

I’ve been tempted to purchase a steamer in the past, but most people I’ve asked have said they’ve struggled on heavier fabrics, which has put me off – why buy something that’s only going to work on half your wardrobe? But my fears were not borne out here. I had a pair of jeans looking pressed and perfect within minutes, plus a cotton T-shirt and a button-down, all in far less time than it’d take to iron. The steamer did struggle with the creases on a very crinkle-prone dress, so I had to use the included mitt to hold the fabric more taut at the bottom, which was a little time-consuming. So I’d not ditch my iron completely at home – but for pressing out floaty summer dresses and light shirts while travelling? This is a game-changer. This is a newer, smaller and lighter model than the Steamery option we tested below, and better-designed for use on-the-go. I’d say it’s still a better match for your checked case than your carry-on but, either way, it’s coming with me on my next flight. Charley Ward

Weight: 0.75kg

Size: 31 x 14 x 9cm

Pros: Comes with mitt for doing shirt collars and cuffs, worked very effectively on jeans and heavy fabrics

Cons: Didn’t perform so well on a very creased dress

This steamer is one of the best, size-wise, for travellers – it folds up to around the same size as a shoe, making it easy to slip into the corner of your suitcase. It comes with a refill container, fabric brush and a bag to keep everything neatly together. I was impressed with how quickly it heats up, and it got most of the creases out of a thick white shirt easily. On the other hand, the cord is quite bulky, so it’s a little fiddly to get into the bag properly if not wound in perfectly. Overall though, light packers will likely find this to be a new essential for their travelling tech kit. Amber Port

Weight: 1.26 kg

Size: 28.5 x 24 x 11cm

Pros: Folding design, comes with a fabric brush

Cons: Cord makes it bulky in the bag

Can I travel with a portable steamer?

Most travel steamers will fit into your carry-on and can go through airport security without any issues; just make sure any remaining liquid from the reservoir has been emptied before getting to the airport.

Is a portable steamer worth it?

If you are going to a formal event such as a destination wedding or know you’re packing clothes that are famous for wrinkling, then yes, it's worth adding to your suitcase. As someone who typically only uses a carry-on unless travelling with family, I do value my space and find the steamer to be an easy item to remove should I be running short on room.

What is the lightest travel steamer?

The Nesugar steamer weighs less than a pound, which inched it ahead of the Steamery Cirrus 2 (750 grams and 31cm long) and the Conair Turbo (weighing in at about 900 grams and measuring 33cm long) in overall rating.

More steamers I tested

Of the 10 steamers I tested out, these are the others I would recommend, with caveats:

Leave it to Swedish brand Steamery to create not just one of the most effective hand-held steamers on the market, but also the most aesthetically pleasing. Their latest style is a slick-looking steamer and iron in one. The tool heats up quickly with just one button and the power is impressive – I was able to steam a couple of crinkled silk dresses in a matter of minutes. It also comes with a wearable heat-protecting ironing mitt so it's really easy to remove every crease. Overall it's not just great for travel, but can easily replace your iron at home. If you're hand luggage only, this one may be a little on the heavier side, but if you're travelling with check-in luggage, the minimalist design is easy to store amongst your other items. They also make a fabric spray that is brilliant for keeping clothes smelling fresh when you're travelling. Lauren Burvill

Weight: 0.86 kg

Size : 24.6 x 14 x 8cm Pros: Can de-wrinkle anything, can stand on its own, quick heat-up

Cons: On the heavier side for travel

The Conair is definitely a winner in terms of power and functionality — a t-shirt can be good as new in less than a minute. While the steamer can blast wrinkles from jackets, you can also lower the setting for more delicate items. The Conair turbo is the only steamer I tested that had various settings to choose from. It even has a built-in creaser, if that’s your thing.

Because the steamer is more powerful, it uses more water, so refills are necessary after a few items (depending on the fabric and intensity of the wrinkles, of course). The Conair Turbo would’ve taken top spot if it were more compact for travelling. If you find yourself using an iron a lot at home, this steamer may actually be your best bet.

Weight: 1.38kg

Size : 34.5 x 21.4 x 14.4 cm

Pros -Can dewrinkle anything  -Various settings to choose from -Quick heat-up

Cons -Hard to fill with small opening -On the larger side for travel

At first, I was wondering if I had a faulty unit because it took several minutes for this steamer to heat up, which felt like an eternity compared to others. Once it was ready to go, though, the steam was quite efficient as long as the material wasn’t too thick (button-down shirts worked fine, but nothing heavier). Again, the metal plate comes in handy for more stubborn wrinkles. You have the option to lock the steamer into a continuous stream or control the trigger for smaller bursts (this helps save water in between items, too).

Weight: 1.19kg

Size : 28.5 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm

Pros -Metal plate -Option for continuous steam or manual

Cons - Longer heat up time -Won't tackle jeans or heavier garments -Heavy

International travellers will be happy about the automatic dual voltage with this steamer. While the heat up is quick (about 20 seconds), the reservoir of the steamer is painfully hot so be sure to only hold on to the handle. Unfortunately, the high temperature of the reservoir requires a pause between fill-ups, but you can get three items done with one tank. My favourite feature is the automatic steam from the get-go, which means your fingers get a rest from holding down the trigger button that comes with many other steamers. The main reason this steamer remains on the final list is for its appeal to those who frequently travel abroad.

Weight: 0.5kg

Size : 24.1 x 11.4 x 11.4 cm

Pros -Collapsible handle for travel -Automatic heat-up (no power button) -No trigger needed to release steam

Cons -Cannot promptly refill reservoir because the tank gets so hot

What is the Best Travel Steamer?

850W PurSteam Garment Steamer

PurSteam Portable Travel Steamer

PurSteam  is the best handheld travel steamer according to our readers. It’s also the one my friend uses as her everyday steamer at home (instead of owning an iron).

At 1.13 pounds it’s quite lightweight and similar in size to the majority of small portable clothes steamer brands out there. It’s adept enough to smooth out most garments and heats up quickly, which is a plus when you wish to get ready on time to go sightseeing. And, it also includes a bonus travel pouch, for easy storage. 

This portable steamer is 850 watts, which means it’s powerful enough to do whatever you need.

This mini clothing steamer gets the readers’ vote so it gets my vote as well.

Here’s a list of top travel accessories that you can also add on your packing list aside from the steamer!

700W Hilife Garment Steamer

Hilife Travel Garment Steamer

The Hilife travel streamer is a massive favorite with travelers as it’s an extremely small and lightweight travel steamer for clothes which allows you to pack light while also putting less strain on your arms, too! 

At 700 watts, it gets the job done. While it doesn’t iron out deep creases, it easily removes the wrinkles from the majority of clothing. 

The downside is that neither of the top travel steamers shown above is dual voltage. But the Hilife is still a solid choice to use along your travels.

Thinking of where to store your steamer? Here’s a list of the best packing organizers !

1000W Jack ＆ Rose Dual Voltage Travel Steamer

Jack ＆ Rose Dual Voltage Portable Steamer

Finding a dual-voltage portable steamer is very rare, so readers were excited to discover this Jack & Rose travel steamer that works all around the world! While compact and incredibly lightweight, it releases high-speed steam that removes wrinkles quickly and easily and warms up in only 15 seconds. It also has a rotating steam head for ease of use and convenient packability.

One reader shares that she took this on a trip to Mexico for a wedding, and it worked like a charm for all the dresses and shirts she needed to steam!

400W Conair Garment Steamer

Conair Garment Steamer

Conair doesn’t just make amazing curling irons and blow dryers; they also make a comparable handheld fabric steamer. This Conair steamer is the ONLY dual voltage steamer we could find. Do you have any other suggestions?

Unlike the previous steamers, this includes a detachable bristle and lint brush to remove debris and have more hand control. It claims to have an impressive 10-minute steam time and a convenient 8-foot cord.

Incredibly light at just 1.2 pounds this could easily be the best travel steamer for clothes available. One traveler noted that she took this on a trip to France and reported how it worked beautifully. 

Aside from a garment steamer, you might also need business travel essentials on a work trip!

Polardo Handheld Mini Steamer

Polardo Mini Steamer

A downside of portable travel steamers is that they are often oddly shaped which creates a challenge to have a neatly packed suitcase. But the Polardo Mini has a unique shape that uses the body as a handle, making it one of the smallest travel steamer products that are fuss-free to store or pack.  

The 25-second heat-up mode is one of the fastest around and our favorite feature is the auto-protection that turns off after five minutes in standby. One reader says, “I never have to take a hotel ironing board out again. Even in carry-on, this is something I won’t go without.”

Its compact size, quick heat-up, and the fact it doesn’t spit water places this lightweight travel steamer as a sure bet! 

900W iSteam Handheld Fabric Steamer

iSteam Portable Steamer

The iSteam Steamer is considered one of the best steamer for clothes with its spiral nozzle designed to evenly distributes steam for a put-together outfit in no time and prevent spits of boiling water from spoiling your clothes. It is also super lightweight and  easy to store in any suitcase or carry on luggage

The water tank lasts up to 15 minutes off continuous steaming to bust out those deep creases. This travel size clothes steamer is certainly popular, one traveler calls it a “lifesaver” to business professionals and says that it “steams like a pro.” Plus, it’s safe to use with the built-in automatic shut-off if it gets too hot or too low. 

1200W BEAUTRUAL Handheld Garment Steamer

BEAUTRUAL Garment Steamer

While the Beautural portable travel clothes steamer might not be as compact as some of the products we’ve featured, it is definitely more powerful. More watts equals more power, which equals better ability to tackle some ornery creases!

It generates about 14 minutes of continuous steam and preheats in 35 seconds or less, removing wrinkles fast and efficiently. One reader says, “Without reservation, this is the best hand held steamer I’ve ever used.”

It’s safe to use on all kinds of fabric, from cotton and polyester, silk, and wool. Bonus too, it has three attachments, including a fabric brush, creaser, and a lint brush. This mini steamer clearly has the tools to achieve a wrinkle-free look! 

1200W Conair Extreme Steam Hand Held Fabric Steamer

Conair Handheld Steamer

Thanks to 1200 watts of power and an easy to fill water tank, Conair  makes some of the best travel garment steamers in terms of power. Yet somehow it’s quite compact. 

It’s adored by TFG readers and as one says, “I love this! So portable and easy to put into a suitcase.”

This lightweight travel hand steamer is less than 2 pounds and has a slender design for convenient storage. It also heats up fast—in 40 seconds you can start de-wrinkling your clothes! 

600W Jiffy Esteam Handheld Travel Steamer

Jiffy Esteam Handheld Travel Steamer

The priciest steamer on our list is the Jiffy Esteam handheld travel steamer . What makes this item stand out are the converter/adapter plugs which are included. It can run for 15 minutes per water tank fill, which makes it beneficial when you have a few outfits to de-wrinkle.

Don’t let the fact that it’s bigger put you off. What makes it one of the best travel clothing steamer selections is how it performs. One reader feels “It’s a little larger and heavier than I’d like, but still fits in my carry-on and doesn’t weigh me down.” 

It has a 600-watt heating element (120-volts in North America) and it’s a durable choice, made with high-impact plastic. Perfect for carting along to your next vacation! 

1600W Rowenta DR8120 Handheld Garment Steamer

Rowenta DR8120 Garment Steamer

Rowenta makes one of the best steamers and this round-up wouldn’t be complete without including their travel-size version. This portable handheld brand is a bit larger than the travel steamers previously listed.

However, we’d class this as the luxury option because of its 1600-watt power and the higher price tag, too. Surprisingly, the Amazon price tag is less expensive than the Jiffy, while being much more powerful.

The downside? It weighs in at 3 pounds so it may be best for professional jobs that require a steamer on the go. 

350W Sharper Image Mini Steam Iron with Dual Voltage for Travel

Sharper Image Dual Voltage Steamer Iron

If you want a little more, the best travel steamer iron is the Sharper Image  as shown above. It’s versatile because it can press clothes and take out creases or wrinkles simultaneously.

As a pro, it’s a dual voltage garment steamer but as a con, with only 350 watts it offers the least amount of power as some of the other models listed.

A word of warning, though, try to get continuous steam as opposed to spurts of steam as this can burn the fabric—unfortunately, I speak from experience. But this is a great travel size steamer iron if you want both functions. Buy it here !

Best Travel Steamer Comparison Chart

[wpsm_comparison_table id=”10″ class=”center-table-align”]

Travel Steamer vs. Regular Steamer?

If you’re used to the power of a full-size, quality garment one, you’ll find a notable difference with a small portable steamer.

The main difference is a travel size garment steamer ranges from 750-850 watts whereas a regular one is around 1700-1800 watts. This means that it will take longer to steam out wrinkles and you may not be able to remove the most stubborn of creases.

If you plan to travel with clothing items that wrinkle easily, you may want to consider one of the best small steamer models instead of a travel-size one, which may offer up to 1500 watts of power. They’ll take a little more room in your suitcase but will ease the frustrations of a slow steamer experience.

A full-size steamer may perform well, but the best mini travel steamer brands are more portable, packable, and quality enough to help you look suitable for whatever you have planned.

Note: I personally own a travel steamer for home use and I don’t use it often enough for it to cause me frustration!

Should I Buy a Travel Steamer?

It’s not easy to find a decent clothes travel steamer but I still own one and use it on trips when necessary. It’s better than nothing!

To determine the best travel steamers you have to weigh the pros and cons. I know someone who was so meticulous with their clothing that they packed a FULL-SIZE steamer on a vacation! In this case, a small clothing steamer or even a travel size steam iron makes more sense.

Some people (me included) even prefer to own a mini garment steamer instead of a full-size one for daily use at home. They’re less bulky and more affordable so this is an ideal option if you only need to steam the occasional clothing item.

It’s important to remember that it can also be a challenge to find the best dual voltage travel steamer model.

How to Choose a Travel Steamer

There are a few things to know before purchasing a travel fabric steamer:

• They’re not as small as you might like
• They’re not as powerful as a regular steamer (800 vs. 1800 watts)
• They can only steam one garment per fill
• They’re rarely dual voltage

The truth is that even the best mini clothes steamer does not compare to its full-size counterpart. While they do offer the convenience of removing wrinkles on the go, they will not be as powerful. It’s important to be realistic about your expectations before deciding to buy one.

The list of travel clothes steamers we’ve provided lays out several options that could work for you!

Best International Travel Adapter

Traveling Abroad With a Travel Steamer

Dual voltage electronics have two voltage options: 110-120 volts (US) and 220-240 volts (Europe). They are ideal for travel because they are safe to use at home and abroad, too. 

Right now, travel steamers can be somewhat difficult to source. If you do not buy an international travel steamer dual voltage model you’ll need to bring BOTH a travel adapter and a converter . While there are some travel-friendly converters, they’re usually only good for products up to 200 watts—a compact travel steamer is higher than this—so choose one that can handle the voltage.

If you plan to buy a dual voltage clothes steamer then a universal travel adapter is all you’d need and it will work in various outlets abroad, such as the international adapter  pictured above. 

Tip: It’s important to understand that an adaptor and converter are NOT the same thing. An adapter fits the outlets and a converter changes the electrical current so your electronics down blow a fuse!

Here’s our voltage converter vs. travel adapter post to give you more information!

After choosing from our round-up of the best travel steamers, please read our guide or watch the video above to learn about the difference between travel adapters, converters, and voltage!

What Is the Best Dual Voltage Travel Steamer? 

Unfortunately, there are not many dual voltage travel steamers in the market—the Conair is the best travel clothes steamer product we are aware of. Though a steamer travel iron, the PurSteam is also dual voltage. They’re both listed above, so please take a look and compare. If you know of other travel garment steamer dual voltage brands, let us know!

Tip: Remember to switch your clothing steamer to 220V/240V when you arrive at your destination !

Great post! I’m always on the lookout for new travel gadgets to make my trips more comfortable and convenient, so this was really helpful. Thanks for sharing your top picks!

I use a steamer at home and like it. Good to know that a Small travel steamer takes longer to heat. I’ll have to consider this when choosing, but I definitely need one that takes up less space.

My next travel purchase will be a portable steamer. Friend had one on our recent trip to New Zealand and it was well worth her bringing it!! She has the PurSteam handheld travel steamer.

I have the Conair Extreme Steam Turbo handheld steamer and it works almost as well as a professional steamer. A lot faster to start. Downside is that its bulkier than your average handheld steamer.

The best travel steamers to keep your clothes wrinkle-free

You could spend hours neatly folding your clothes into packing cubes , but no level of preparation will perfectly stop your evening pants and dress shirts from developing a few creases along the way. While many hotels come with some iron or steamer, it may be easier to bring your own — especially if you are traveling for a wedding or special event — as you never know how hot an iron or steamer may get or how it will work on your clothing .

To help you find the best ones on the market, we consulted travel experts and NBC Select staffers about their favorite options.

The best travel steamers in 2024.

To help you find the best travel steamers for your next trip, we took into consideration expert recommendations, staff picks and highly rated options that will fit in your luggage while traveling.

Steamery Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer

Steamery’s Cirrus 3 is a personal favorite, as it removes wrinkles and creases on my dresses within minutes. It's a hybrid iron and steamer that can eliminate any odors and bacteria from your clothing and can hold up to 90 milliliters of water in its tank, according to the brand. Its auto shut-off feature, which turns the steamer off after 30 minutes of inactivity, especially gives me peace of mind while traveling. I primarily use this steamer for cotton, linen and silk clothing. That said, you can also use it on fabrics like viscose and cashmere, but should avoid leather and suede as it may damage your clothing, according to the brand.

Capacity : 90 milliliters | Weight : 1.89 pounds

Urpower Steamer

This travel steamer, which has a 4.3-average star rating from over 10,000 reviews, is a favorite of travel journalist and writer, Rana Good , for how quickly it works. “It gets my clothes steamed in minutes and is especially good to use with flowy materials like silk,” she says. It heats up within two minutes and has a water tank that allows for continuous steaming for up to 10 minutes, according to the brand. You can use it on your clothing, but also on drapery and table cloths — just make sure not to tilt it more than 45 degrees to avoid any spillage, according to Urpower. Plus, it has an automatic shut-off feature that kicks in if the steamer overheats or if the water level is too low, as detailed on the product page.

Capacity : 130 milliliters | Weight : 1.2 pounds

Brynnl Mini Handheld Steamer Iron

If you're looking for a mini iron steamer, consider this Brynnl option, which comes highly recommended by travel blogger and advisor, Sally Nguyen for its compact size, which she described as similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. It has a simple one-button start feature and you can use it to ease wrinkles on cotton, silk and linen fabrics, according to the brand. The pointed curved design should help you iron out corners and hard-to-reach areas around buttons and collars, according to the brand.

Capacity : around 44 milliliters | Weight : 0.66 pounds

Hilife Steamer

This top-rated handheld steamer, which has a 4.3-star rating from more than 90,000 shoppers, can emit steam within 140 seconds and works on a variety of fabrics including chiffon, silk, wool, cotton and nylon, according to the brand. Its 240-milliliter water capacity provides up to 15 minutes of continuous steaming (the longest on our list) and its 9-foot cord provides easy access and maneuverability.

Capacity : 240 milliliters | Weight : 1.7 pounds

Perfectday Garment Steamer

PerfectDay Garment Steamer

This mini travel steamer is another favorite of Nguyen’s for its safety features including its automatic shut-off functionality that kicks in when it is overheating or short on water. It can store about 100 milliliters of water and can run continuously for about 10 minutes, according to the brand. The nozzle head, which has eight steam holes for rapid venting, is removable too, making it easy to pack. The 1-pound steamer also comes with a fabric brush to get any dust, dirt or debris off your clothes. And, while it’s great for removing wrinkles from your clothes, Nguyen also uses it for facials, as the steam moves in one uniform direction, which allows it to coat her face evenly. “It helps me take care of my skin when I travel as it clarifies my skin and unclog my pores,” she says.

Capacity : 100 milliliters | Weight : 1 pound

The Nori Press

The Nori Press is a favorite of NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider as it doubles as an iron and steamer and functions like a flat iron for your clothes. It comes with six fabric settings, a clamping mechanism to press your clothes and a pointed tip that can iron hard-to-reach areas like collar corners. You’ll press its two aluminum plates against the front and back of each garment to minimize creases and wrinkles.

Capacity : 29 milliliters | Weight : 1.4 pounds

How we picked the best travel steamers.

All of our picks are expert-recommended or highly rated with an average of four stars or higher and in line with our expert guidance. We also included Select staff recommendations and kept the following in mind:

• Weight : Every travel steamer on our list weighs less than 2 pounds.
• Attachments : Some steamers come with attachments like a brush or a lint remover. For ease while traveling, we chose steamers without any additional attachments to save you space in your carry-on or checked bag.
• Capacity : This indicates how much water the steamer can hold. The more it holds, the longer it can continuously run. We recommended steamers that can hold up to 240 milliliters (which is about 15 minutes of steaming).

How to shop for travel steamers

Aside from looking for steamers with portable and lightweight designs to make travel easy, here’s what our experts recommended searching for while shopping:

• Heat-up time : The faster the steamer heats up, the better, when living life on the go, according to Nguyen. We chose steamers that do so in under three minutes.
• Size : Since every steamer weighs less than 2 pounds, it won’t add too much weight to your bags.
• Works on different materials : A quality steamer should work on a range of different materials including linen, nylon, cotton and silk, according to Good.

Buying guide for best travel steamers.

Updated November 2023

Most hotel rooms have ironing tools for you to use, but do you really want to use an old, musty ironing board to freshen up your business attire? Do you want to risk staining your new dress with a potentially dirty or broken iron? Pack a travel steamer in your suitcase instead, and you’ll have a quick, convenient way to de-wrinkle and refresh your clothing when you’re away from home.

Travel steamers are compact, portable tools that allow you to easily remove wrinkles from your clothing … even when you’re on the road. And they’re not just for vacations and business trips; you can keep a travel steamer at the office for use before an important meeting or in case of an emergency. If you’re low on storage space at home, you can keep one there, too.

The BestReviews team performed in-depth research on travel steamers to identify the very best products. Read on to learn more, or check out the travel steamers we’re recommending.

Benefits of a travel steamer

The application of steam is a great way to get wrinkles out of delicate fabrics. Most travel steamers have smaller water reservoirs than their full-sized counterparts, so if you have a lot of work to do, you may need to refill yours more often. Some travel steamers may also produce less steam than traditional models. Nevertheless, many people agree that a steamer is a more convenient appliance than an iron.

Here are some of the main advantages of owning a travel steamer.

Won’t burn clothing

Can be used on almost any type of fabric

Sanitizes and removes wrinkles

No chemicals (unlike dry cleaning)

Low cost (unlike dry cleaning)  

Keep in mind that although steamers are highly convenient, they cannot produce the crisp creases that you can achieve with a steam iron and ironing board.

Considerations

Here are the main things to consider when shopping for a travel steamer.

Size and weight

Make sure your chosen travel steamer is suitably lightweight for travel. It should be compact enough to fit easily inside your suitcase . A unit that’s too heavy will be cumbersome to pack and challenging to hold, as well. Most travel steamers vary in weight from just over one pound to a little over three pounds.

Water reservoir size

A larger reservoir usually means that the unit will be heavier when full. But it also means the device holds more water, which translates to a longer steam time and less-frequent refilling.

Heating time

How quickly does the travel steamer heat up? Heating times can range from 20 seconds to several minutes. If you’re a last-minute kind of person, opt for a steamer with quick heating so you can plug in and go. Many manufacturers state the device heating time on the package.

Performance

How big is the water reservoir? A larger reservoir may allow you to steam more than one garment before you need a refill. Most travel steamers have water tanks that provide enough steam for one item of clothing at a time.

A good steamer doesn’t spray hot water; it produces a steady stream of hot steam. Look at the product description to discover how long the unit can produce a continuous stream of steam. Avoid models for which users have complained of water leakage.

Steamers with higher wattage are more powerful but may be larger, bulkier, and not ideal for travel purposes.

Ease of use

The best travel steamers are easy to use. The tank is removable for cleaning and filling, and the unit doesn’t leak or dribble water. The cord is long enough to maneuver the steamer without fuss; it may even be retractable. The controls or buttons make sense, and the handle is comfortable to hold as you de-wrinkle your clothing.

Most steamers have an auto shutoff feature that turns off the device when the water reservoir is empty.

Dual voltage

Wall outlets differ depending on where you are in the world. For overseas travel to Europe, you’ll need a dual-voltage device or an adapter to use the steamer with a different outlet type. Notably, it might be tough to find a steamer with dual voltage; this feature is more common in travel irons .

Travel steamer prices

• Budget travel steamers: $25 and under Travel steamers in this price range take longer to heat up, have smaller water reservoirs, and produce shorter continuous bursts of steam. They tend to be less powerful, too, with most models providing under 1,000 watts of power.
• Mid-range travel steamers: $30 to $50 For a bit more money, you can get a travel steamer that heats faster and has a larger water tank. Most units in this range provide at least 1,000 watts of power.
• Premium travel steamers: $50 and up The priciest travel steamers offer more powerful wattage (over 1,000 watts). They heat up very quickly and deliver long, steady bursts of steam.

Packing to prevent wrinkles

A travel steamer can help get out stubborn wrinkles when you’re on the go, but the first step to wrinkle-free travel is actually the proper packing of your suitcase. Here are some tips for wrinkle-free packing.

Roll cotton tees and clothes instead of folding them.

Choose synthetic fabrics to pack since they won’t wrinkle as easily as cotton. Wool is also wrinkle proof.

Use packing cubes to keep clothing from tumbling around inside your suitcase.

Neatly fold sweaters and shirts into squares. Use plastic bags (dry-cleaning bags are a good choice) to prevent wrinkling.

Keep smaller items like underwear and lingerie in zip-lock bags .

Minimize loose space to prevent jostling. Use items like socks to fill in the gaps.

Don’t overpack . A fully packed suitcase can squish and compress your clothing, causing it to wrinkle and crease unnecessarily.

• Bundle wrap your clothing to keep your garments looking neat and tidy. The method involves wrapping delicate, wrinkle-prone items with clothing less likely to wrinkle.

Q. Do travel steamers come with accessories? A. Some travel steamers may come with a brush attachment or lint roller attachment to help keep your clothes looking sharp. But steamers are relatively basic devices, and you don’t need extra accessories to steam your clothing correctly.

Q. What’s the best way to clean my travel steamer? A. Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside your steamer head and clog the unit. To thoroughly remove residue, fill the water reservoir with vinegar. Turn on the steamer and let the steam run its course. Once the reservoir has emptied, repeat the process with water. Rinse the tank when you’re done.

Q. Should I use distilled water in my steamer? A. The use of distilled water is recommended but not necessary. Using distilled water helps reduce buildup and mineral deposits, but it’s not dangerous to use regular tap water to steam clothing. If you don’t regularly clean your steamer, however, mineral deposits may eventually produce white stains on fabric.
