Conair G16 Travel Clothes Steamer

Conair GS16 is the smallest travel clothes steamer in the family of Conair GS. It's featured in the middle right picture, looking like an iron.


It's no secret that with a portable clothes steamer like this you can keep all of your garments looking like new without going through the hassle of taking them to a professional cleaners or steamer which can be very expensive or firing up an iron and getting the ironing board out just to make a few shirts/suits look their best.

Just as you would imagine Conair GS16 is an extremely portable clothes steamer, however don't let the size fool you: it's got a 1000 watt heater! It's almost as much as Conair GS5 steamer, which has 1200 watts, but much bigger in size.

This steamer weighs only 4 pounds which makes traveling together with it an easy ride. If you wanted you could even easily fit it into your carry on bag, just in case you need to use it before the luggage arrives.

One of the best things about Conair GS16 is that it has aluminum soleplate for ironing with steam with variable temperature control. This is great because you can not only make passes along your garments with a steamer, but also put it down on flat surface and give it a good steaming session in those hard-to-reach spots with the aluminum plate which basically works like an iron, only without all the hassle.

This model features dual voltage for travel, which can come in quite handy in most of the countries where the standard American plug is not the norm.

Another thing customers are raving about is the fabric lint brush attachment found on this model. So if you have this brush on your steamer while working your garments it will brush off all the lint off of it with almost no effort, as steam will help to get it off easier.

This steamer runs on regular tap water, without salt. As soon as you fill it up with water let it stand for about 5-6 minutes so the steamer can heat up the water and start producing heat.  If you wish to have a continuous flow of steam, this function can be activated by a trigger switch.

This model can cost up to $35 when bought new and up to $25-29 when bought used. However before buying used it's always smart to read up on what other people said about this model's reliability and make your own decisions.
