My Revolutionary New Steamer

Before I was in school for fashion, I didn't know of the handy-dandy steamer. I never ironed my clothes. Irons and ironing board are SO inconvenient. I'd rather wear a wrinkly dress, or something else altogether.
After working at various fashion shows and designing my own lines, I realized just how great steamers could be. Some suck. For years now, I've just borrowed my roommates' steamers or used the one provided by the school. When my roommate moved out recently, I decided I needed to be a big girl and buy my own. I didn't do much comparing on Amazon, and just bought one of the top ones on Prime with a gift card I had.
In the past, steamers have seemed so finicky. They leak, they get water on the clothes, they burn you, and they run out so fast. Much to my surprise, there are some steamers and that DON'T do any go those things. Meet the Hilife Steamer. It retails for $24.99 on Amazon Prime and has over 11,300 raving reviews (soon to be one more).

I unpacked the steamer to fix the pesky wrinkles in my linen skirt yesterday. It came with a brush, filling cup, and long cord.

But how did it operate? Let me tell you why it is so great:
👍🏻
The device holds up to 250ml of water (WAY more than most steamers, which run out so fast)
The end is slim and wide, a design that glides more naturally down the garments and covers more area

The steam is basically invisible (I don't know how else to describe this). But I sat there thinking the steamer was broken as it was silently shooting out steam in a fine line without a trace of visible steam. For this reason, it didn't drift up or burn me once
I was done steaming in around thirty seconds. In the past, I felt as though I was steaming to no avail, with no improvement. The wrinkles erased on the spot as I ran the steamer up and down the skirt
It didn't leak at all
It's super light (only 1.7 lbs!)
👎🏻
Because the device holds more than other steamers, it isn't as company/travel friendly. But it is definitely still small enough to take with you anywhere you go. I will gladly spare the extra inch if it works this dang good!
A steamer is a staple in anyones home (especially if you're done with irons like me). I know it seems tedious to steam your clothes, but I PROMISE this one is worth it! It is convenient, quick, and magical! I highly recommend this purchase to everyone. If you don't have a steamer, get this one. And, if you do, replace it with this one.
