Tefal created a complete steam system with its own ironing board, which can be tilted at a convenient angle. An iron with a steam flow button on an extended handle weighs 2 times less than a standard iron, so your hands don’t get tired when working.
Despite the tank's capacity of 1 liter, it is enough for long ironing and there is always the possibility of replenishment during the process. Thanks to the Smart Protect system, the optimal sole heating temperature is automatically set for any type of fabric, so jeans can be ironed without any problems after wearing a light blouse.
Another feature of the model is replaceable anti-scale filters. Their lifespan is not defined, so the filter should be replaced as soon as it gets dirty, which will be indicated by a special indicator. The heavy weight of the ironing system is neutralized by transport rollers, which make it convenient to move the device around the room.

For your convenience, the rating of vertical steamers has been divided into two parts, depending on the price of the equipment.

The criteria by which the assessment will take place are as follows:
- steam jet power
- boiler size
- working hours
- protective functions
So let's get started.

This will probably be the best vertical steamer among the models available. Simplicity of design and wide functionality are combined with a reasonable price. A powerful device brings water to a boil in 30 seconds, the steam supply is smoothly regulated, two liters of water are enough to cope with a whole heap of clothes. The disadvantages include the lack of additional attachments with bristles. An additional advantage will be ease of storage: a small section in the pantry is enough for this model.

This copy was created by the Swedish company Kromax Group. It is a powerful (2200 W) device that produces steam at temperatures up to 95 0C. But for such abundant vapor release, the amount of liquid that can fit into the tank is clearly insufficient. The intensity of the steam jet is adjusted with a rocker. A fairly reliable stand on two telescopic legs ends with a smooth hanger.

pros
- steam supply up to 40 g/minute
- selection of fabric type when adjusting power

It is convenient to select the pressure using markers in Russian (linen, cotton, silk, polyester) located around the regulator. Reviews include complaints about the smell of plastic during use.
We reviewed the rating of vertical clothing steamers aimed at consumers who are willing to part with an amount of no more than 10,000 rubles. Now let’s evaluate the top floor steamers of 2021 in the mid-price category and choose the best of the best.
The best clothes steamers - TOP PRODUCTS
Having studied all the characteristics of a variety of steamers, I’ll tell you about the most interesting options.
The best vertical clothing steamers
Tefal Fashion Steam IT344OEO
First on my list is the Tefal Fashion Steam IT344OEO. He will become an ideal home assistant, ready to quickly and efficiently cope with any problem. The device is not afraid of old folds or dense materials and is equipped with a reliable metal iron.
To iron the desired item, just hang it on a special hanger and treat it with hot steam. The manufacturer has provided special clips for attaching trousers or skirts.
Hot steam is supplied within 45 seconds after the start of work, and the 1.5 liter tank will allow you to iron many things at once. Among other things, the device will help not only make things pleasant to look at, but also relieve them of unpleasant odors.
The downside of this product is its significant cost, but the time saved is worth it.
Price: RUB 7,990
Phillips GC507/60
I would also like to mention the Phillips GC507/60 device. It is a more budget and affordable option, while having excellent characteristics and sufficient power of 1500 W.
The presence of three operating modes for ironing items from different fabrics will help you deal with wrinkles equally well on both a linen shirt and a synthetic blouse. A properly selected mode will allow you to smooth out even very dense items.
A 1.2-liter reservoir will be quite enough for regular home use, and the anti-scale system will extend the service life and protect the owner from unnecessary hassle.
The set includes a heat-resistant glove that should protect your hand from possible burns, however, unfortunately, it does not always cope with its duties, so it is better to be careful.
Price: ₽ 4,490
The best handheld clothing steamers
Tefal Access Steam DR8086E1
First of all, this is Tefal Access Steam DR8086E1. It is ideal for those who need to iron a few things quickly, for example, in the morning before work. The steamer is light and convenient, after handling it you don’t feel heavy in your hands, because it weighs less than a kilogram.
The device heats up quickly enough and after 45 seconds you can start working. The declared power is 1500 W, which is also a good indicator. I was especially pleased with the presence of a brush for removing hair from things (pet owners will understand me) and a special attachment for working with delicate fabrics.
A noticeable disadvantage is the small water tank, the volume of which is only 0.2 liters and the average steam power (22 g/min).
Price: RUB 3,990
Scarlett SC-GS135S03
The convenient and interesting steamer Scarlett SC-GS135S03 also deserves attention. Almost everyone can afford it, thanks to the reasonable price. The device is very compact, it is convenient to take it with you on trips. It heats up quickly, has sufficient power of 1400 W and a steam intensity of 30 g/min.
The user has the opportunity to set the appropriate parameters for different types of fabric, but for me personally, the disadvantage is the touch adjustment panel, since the physical buttons seem more comfortable and familiar to me. But there is a function for remembering selected settings, which can be very convenient for daily use.
The device is equipped with special attachments that help clean the fabric and protect things from possible damage.
Price: ₽ 2,990
The best professional clothing steamers
Tefal Expert Precision IT9501E2
Tefal Expert Precision IT9501E2 definitely falls into this list. It will help you iron any item quickly and efficiently, and a convenient height-adjustable stand will make the ironing process even more comfortable. The device is characterized by a power of 1780 W and a steam intensity of 35 g/min, which guarantees fast and high-quality results. The 3.5 liter water tank allows you to iron a large amount of clothes without interruption.
A distinctive feature of this model is the presence of a removable vertical board and several attachments, including an attachment for smoothing trouser creases. The device is equipped with scale protection and an emergency shutdown system in case of lack of water or overheating. Thus, you don’t have to worry about the possibility of damaging your favorite item or the device itself.
This steamer has excellent characteristics, but if you need to iron several items every day, it is better to choose a simpler option.
Price: RUB 18,990
Philips GC557/30
I would also like to mention the Philips GC557/30. It is comfortable, functional, and has a sleek and modern design. With its help you can easily iron not only everyday clothes, but also curtains, jackets and evening dresses.
The steamer has five modes for different fabrics, so by choosing the one you need, you don’t have to worry about accidentally burning thin fabric. The set includes a special brush attachment designed for working with thicker items, such as jeans.
The power of the device is 2000 W, which, together with a steam supply of 40 g/min, makes it simply unique. Another interesting feature is the floating head technology, which allows for better ironing in hard-to-reach areas. It also means you don’t have to bend over to carefully iron the bottom of your clothes. The 1.8 liter water tank will not require constant refilling, and the safety system will instantly turn off the device if the water accidentally runs out.
All professional series devices have the same disadvantages for the average user - high price and dimensions. However, it's up to you.
Price: RUB 16,990
Middle segment (from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles)
The functionality of the products in question will be close to professional. The increased power and improved functionality of more expensive versions of steamers will speed up the process of bringing clothes into proper shape. These are the units that are used in boutiques and fashion shows.
RUNZEL Pro-300 TurboSteam
pros
- steam pressure: 3.5 atmospheres at temperatures up to 1000C
- power: 2,250 W
- working time: 2 hours
- steam flow saturation: 55 g/minute

The technical innovation of the Swedish company Runzel rightfully takes first place in our rating. It is the undisputed leader in sales in terms of price-quality ratio. The power of continuous steam flow is the largest among analogues on the market. Thanks to this intensity, RUNZEL Pro-300 TurboSteam easily copes with the densest and most stubborn materials, such as denim, drape, and linen. The delivery set includes a brush-clamp, replaceable attachments and a steam protection mitt. The telescopic stand is removable. The device is equipped with a shutdown function when there is insufficient water and a removable reservoir. Consumer reviews indicate the reliability of the steam generator and excellent build quality.
Grand Master GM-S-18
pros

- removable water tank with a volume of 3.2 l
- automatic shutdown
- additional thermal insulation of the hose

- compact design
Minuses

From 10900 ₽
The slightly heavy representative of the steam generators from the Grand Master company looks, nevertheless, elegantly. The liquid is poured into a transparent boiler, which turns it into steam in 45 seconds. The 170 cm stand allows you to smooth out wrinkles even on long dresses without any effort. But not everything is so smooth. The device is not suitable for steaming dense materials: the jet saturation is only 20 g/min.
Philips GC557/30 ComfortTouch
pros
- great design
- powerful steam supply 40 g/minute
- double telescopic stand
- removable boiler
- scale protection
- shutdown when there is a lack of water and when stationary

From 14400 ₽
Philips is also Philips in Africa. The thoughtful design immediately catches your eye: white, with a lilac stand. You don’t want to hide the steamer anywhere, but, on the contrary, admire the smooth lines of the device. An additional plus is the lock for the hanger on the tripod, which keeps it from falling. The weak power of the device results in increased steam generation time, and an insufficiently voluminous water boiler quickly consumes it. The peculiarity of the model is that the FlexHead nozzle allows you to steam even the densest fabrics with concentrated steam, and also eliminates the need to hold the iron straight.
Zauber PRO-270s i-Fordel
pros
- powerful steam: 55g/min.
- volumetric boiler
- automatic shutdown
- horizontal steaming
- additional attachments and a bag for them
- shutdown when there is insufficient water volume

Minuses
- weight 8 kg
- non-removable water tank
- heat to steam 1 minute
From 15750 ₽
Another representative of the northern country of Sweden takes fourth place in our ranking. The device does not look bulky, rather angular. All the protective functions are present, but the design is simply killer. For that kind of money, you could put a little effort in this direction. When turned on, condensation may escape, you need to be prepared for this. If the water runs out, you will hear a beep and the device will turn off. The word that fully characterizes it is reliability.
MIE Magic Style
pros
- steamer power 2250 W
- steam flow power: up to 85 g/minute
- double telescopic stand
- removable tank
- set of attachments and accessories
- drop protection
- weight
Minuses
- operating time 50 min
- small tank 1.7 l
From 12780 ₽
The Italian declares himself as a professional in the field of steaming. The double stand makes ironing jackets and similar items easier. Steam is supplied heated to a temperature of 980 C with an intensity of up to 85 g per minute. But reviews are full of complaints about the inability to steam shirts and cotton products. In addition, you need to carefully monitor the amount of water in the tank, because the MIE Magic Style does not have a self-shut-off function. And protection against scale, too, so it is recommended to use distilled water so as not to break the delicate mechanism. In addition to the device, you will receive a set of brushes, a clamp, and collar and sleeve molds.

I bought a replacement for my old friend – an iron. So far the steamer is working great. On average, I can handle a shirt in a few minutes. With delicate fabric you will have to tinker longer. There are complex folds here that need more time and steam to get back into shape. The steam power can be selected according to the fabric material. I've already tried the attachments. The brush removes hair and fur well. The glove protects your hands from hot steam. It doesn't fit very tightly on the hand.

The steamer is very simple and easy to use. Water volumes of 1.7 liters are enough for three to four things. Preparation for work takes approximately 40-50 seconds. The bar with hangers is easily adjusted to the required size. Able to smooth out hard-to-reach places. I use only distilled water to prevent scale formation.

The tank volume is enough for 5-7 things. The device is worthy of attention. I recommend for purchase.

A special bracket, hanger and attachments are provided. The water supply is enough for 5-7 shirts. Does not leave traces of drops on clothes. After use, drain the water no earlier than 30 minutes, otherwise you may burn your hands.

pros
- stainless steel sole;
- presence of 5 power modes;
- intuitive controls;
- the presence of an ironing board.
Minuses
- short power cord (1.5 meters).
The control keys are identical on both the handle and the panel. The power cord runs back into the socket on its own after use. You can steam not only clothes, but also other things. For example, I steam tulle and curtains. Using a brush, I quickly remove hairs from clothes. There is a convenient regulator with which you can turn on any power mode.
A few final words
We have completed a review of the most popular vertical clothing steamers today. Let me now say a few words about caring for this equipment. A steamer is not a cheap thing, and no one wants it to last only its warranty period and then fail. In order to extend the service life of your device, read the instructions and follow the recommendations:
- In order to avoid water droplets leaving the nozzle, turn on the equipment immediately at maximum power. As soon as the water inside the boiler boils (the indicator light goes out), set the steaming mode according to the type of fabric being processed. This will save your time and nerves, and the device will not be overloaded.
- Despite the fact that some manufacturers recommend pouring water directly from the tap, you should not do this if you do not want to later get rid of scale on the internal elements of the steam generator and brushes. Tap water contains a large amount of salts, which remain on the walls of the tank when the liquid evaporates. Even if the device is equipped with a self-cleaning system for descaling, this system also needs to be cleaned from time to time. To do this as rarely as possible, fill the tank with distilled or demineralized water. If a reverse osmosis filter is installed in the house, then this water will also be suitable.
- Turn off the steam generator when you leave for a while. The heating element has a limited service life. Don't waste it on useless air heating.
One more thing. Steamers do not remove unpleasant odors from clothes - this is an advertising ploy. They make it easier to smooth out wrinkles on clothes, but it is better to wash worn items to give them a fresh scent. And then, of course, smooth it out with the help of your wonderful assistant.
