Conair GS5 Travel Clothes Steamer

The Conair GS5 is the middle-sized travel clothes steamer, standing between it's gs10 and gs 16 brothers. Out of all accessories that you take on your trip and if you're taking any "serious" garments like business suits, dresses, etc. the travel clothes steamer may be one of the most important ones.

The Conair gs5 looks like a kettle with a blue tube coming out of it that actually carries all the steam when it's turned on, has two heads - one that actually stays on top of the tube all the time and one that can be attached on top of the first one. It has brushes in front and in the back it has a lint remover to get rid of any lint that you might have on your garment.

This travel steamer heats up in only 6 minutes for a 20 minutes steam time, which is enough for most people to go over several of their garments and if you accidentally leave it on after you're done steaming this device will auto shut off.

Another feature of this steamer is that it includes a water reservoir with max/min water markings, which will tell you exactly how much water to put for maximum efficiency and time. Many satisfied customers who own professional steamers either at their workplace or home confess that GS 5 works just as well as the pro versions.

The integrated carry handle nozzle extends for good five feet, so you can place this portable steamer on the table by your closet and have it be long enough to reach up to your hanging garments so they can be steamed. The nozzle is can also be folded and attached to the steamer, which makes it portable and easy to put under the bed or in the cabinet when you're finished using it.

The Conair gs5 is a perfect combination between power and mobility - and this is what we like in our portable steamers. However it might not be something you'd want to carry with you during those long flights as you will need a bigger bag for it than if you were taking Conair g16 with you for your steaming needs.

It may cost you up to $50 for a brand new one and around $40 for a used steamer. When buying a used steamer be aware that the nozzles and tubes used to carry all the steam up to your garments might have holes in them because of wear and tear which let hot water leak on your hands if you're not careful at spotting them right away.
