BLACK+DECKER 1400W Advanced Handheld Steamer, 3 Attachments, Gray/Blue, HGS200

Works great and has been going strong now for over 3 years. Produces a lot of steam.

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!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I needed to steam my mother "antique" wedding dress from the early 90s. There is quite a lot of beading and mesh along with a 10 ft train. We used the Conair for really difficult creases where we needed more direct air and then this steamer was used to use a wider area faster. Since this didn't have variable heat, we had to be faster or further away. It really produces a lot of steam. I was pleased with the results. Water capacity: Good! Big Tank! Heat up: Faster than the Conair Works well: Does it's job!

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 it I 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.

I bought this to replace my old steamer, of a different brand, that died. This steamer is significantly larger, and that is the only adjustment I had to get used to. It's also significantly better as it is more powerful and has a better water chamber, easier to replace the water if you need to refill in the middle of steaming larger items. The attachments are great, and the long cord is awesome - it makes it easy to steam large objects like curtains, bedspreads and upholstery. Great product!

Bought this in Sep 2022 and it lasted 3 years before it stopped producing much steam - really feels like everything is made to break within a few years now. It also cost $45 and has gone up nearly 50% in price since then, which is insane. Just buy a cheaper one if you're going to have to replace it in a couple years anyway. It worked while I had it but no better than the cheap Amazon one I replaced it with, and it's quite heavy. Definitely not worth the price at this point.

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.

After three years, it stopped working. It seems like it’s working, but no steam is coming out.
