Jumping on the steamer train because it works! But keep in mind: how long it takes to get a steam going, if you're going to be steaming mostly shirts or trousers/dresses too, your space constraints.

I'm looking into getting a travel steamer instead, something fast so I can just steam the one item right before I wear it. I had bought a pricey Philips upright steamer for my work dresses and skirts. But it takes about 3-5 minutes to get going. I'm so lazy, this already puts me off doing anything with my clothes. I wear linen exclusively now and use the steamer board to dry my hand washed clothes more these days.

It also comes with a little glove to protect your hand, and it's some powerful shit. Every week I'll hear my sister curse as she attempts to steam the clothes but gets her hand instead because she's too cool for the glove. A little travel one might be a bit safer, I hope.
