BLACK+DECKER Advanced Handheld Steamer for Clothes, Fast Wrinkle Removal, Auto Shut-Off, Attachments for Delicate Fabrics, Lint Removal, and Steaming Curtains, Upholstry (HGS200)

I did research to find an affordable, effective hand steamer. I needed this to stream clean a bunch of fabric items. It's simple to set up, heats up quickly, and works for a good long time on one little tank of water. It stores easily, too. It seems my model has an updated trigger. It can lock so you don't have to hold it down or it can be unlocked and give you more control over the steam. Recommended!

I researched hand-held steamers and came across this one as highly rated. This steamer lives up to its reputation. It arrived in great condition, was easy to unpack and “assemble” (just snapping the water tank into place) and worked like a charm on new curtains that were extremely wrinkled during shipping. The steamer is easy to hold and warms up to a full steam in seconds. I steamed two 96-inch long curtain panels in a few minutes — no second pass needed.

Works great. I used a home and abroad. Taking it with me on my next vacay.

The B&D steamer is the only steamer that I have puchased that actually works as advertised. A steamer is not an iron, but this works great for getting out wrinkles in drapes and clothing.

I bought this quite a while back, it gets used several times a week. It’s still working fine. For anyone wondering if it will last, just know it’s lasted for me just fine.hope this helps!

Bought in 2021. Used it couple of times each year for getting out of curtains and table cloths and some clothes too. Worked great then just stopped working. Always used distilled water. Heats but no steam comes out. I'm old fashioned. Expect things to last more than a handful of years especially with such infrequent use.

This steamer is fantastic for certain tasks—it works like magic on suits, jackets, pullovers, and wool coats, leaving them refreshed and wrinkle-free. It’s quick to heat up and the large water tank with a long cord makes it convenient for extended use.However, it’s not a complete alternative to regular ironing. While it excels with delicate and structured fabrics, it struggles with heavier materials like cotton and linen, where wrinkles are more stubborn.If you’re looking for a tool to complement your ironing routine and handle specific items beautifully, this is a great choice. For heavy fabrics, though, a traditional iron is still the way to go.

If you're like me and are somehow terrible at ironing despite practicing, and need a generally wrinkle free shirt, this is probably your best option. Using other steamers has not gone well for me.Very simple to use, following the manufacturer directions yields good results. Minimal drippage and never had an issue in the 6+ months I've used itI hang up shirts on my door hanger and use one hand to maneuver the shirt and the other to steam. Starting with one sleeve then making my way across the shirt, flipping to the back if needed. Keep the fabric flat but don't pull too tight otherwise you'll make creases.It won't get out very small "micro-wrinkles" like an iron will, but takes care of the major stuff. You may find it helps remove wrinkles better with an ironing glove or press pad to be able to apply pressure to the fabric.I wouldn't go so far as to say this is travel friendly unless you have a large suitcase, but I guess it beats having wrinkled shirts.In the photos I left this shirt crumpled up in the dryer instead of hanging it up.
