Best Clothes Steamers of 2025

These compact devices heat up quickly and can be used in a clutch when you need to loosen up a single garment quickly before putting it on. But in our lab evaluations, our team found that some can create more headaches than they’re worth, though, sputtering hot water onto your hands or steaming your face more than your shirt.

To find the best clothes steamers, we purchased seven of the most popular models of their time (in 2023), including a couple of options that are steamer-iron combos, and put them to the test in our lab and at home.
