      Does anyone own a garment steamer? Wonder if this is useful in ironing shirts/dresses? Thinking to get 1... since LauraStar is most likely out of reach for now... I seriously hates ironing btw... :frustrated:

              Seriously if you don't mind refilling the water, the Rowenta Steamium Iron ($179.90 if I didn't remember wrongly) has good steam power. Too bad Rowenta does not have the ironing systems available for sale here. I can iron through a folded pair of jeans.

                  I am using the Panasonic non steam iron to iron my clothes but the results after iron was no good. I thought of changing to a normal steam iron. Can anyone advise on what brand to buy. I went to take a look at a few brand and the promoter recommended me philips brand. Which is better philips or tefal?

                      Didn’t find my previous Tefal good. My mom’s $100+ Braun almost made me fainted when I tried to help her iron. She also said that it was BAD! Clothes just don’t straighten nicely.


                      Rowenta Steamium leaves a nice finish. Don’t know about the rest but read reviews that you should buy only those made in Germany. That should range from $100 to $180 here.
