Wattage determines steam volume and how quickly it recovers, and 1800W is at the useful end. Decide between a full-size steamer and a handheld: full-size gives you volume and endurance for curtains and multiple garments; handheld travels and stores easily. Practical technique that actually matters: steam garments hanging up, pull the fabric taut with your free hand, and work from the top down — steam rises, so you are working with it. Keep the head moving to avoid wetting one spot. Use clean water, and empty the tank after each session rather than leaving water sitting, which is what causes mineral build-up and spitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the handheld SF2904GS, that is portable and stores easily while this has a much larger tank and more power for extended use. Compared with an iron, a steamer relaxes creases without pressing fibres flat, which suits suits, silk, pleats and embellished fabrics that an iron would damage — but an iron still gives sharper creases on shirts and trousers. Against dry cleaning, steaming refreshes garments at home between cleans. Most households benefit from owning both an iron and a steamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteamer or iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA steamer relaxes creases without flattening fibres, which suits suits, silk, pleats, curtains and embellished fabric.
