The Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875 Watt Handheld Fabric, 2-in-1 Steam and Iron Garment Steamer, One Size, Black/Blue is a well-built, useful steamer. It's the most powerful steamer we tested (and its 1875 watts of steaming power were impressive), and it felt the fastest and most effective at ironing out wrinkles. The ease of using, portability, and long battery life also makes it a good choice for small apartments or dormitories. The included accessories are also useful for steam-cleaning a variety of fabrics, and the steamer has an intuitive design with easy-to-read indicator lights. However, it is a bit too loud to be ideal for ironing during a weekday, and it's a bit bulky for traveling.

The Black & Decker HGS200 Garment Steamer is an affordable and powerful steamer, and it's the only garment steamer we tested with a continuous steam feature. The continuous steam feature is especially convenient, as it means you can steam clothes, upholstery, and curtains all at once. The steamer also produces a more powerful burst of steam than most models we tested, which is ideal for steaming larger items or stubborn creases. The steamer produces a lot of steam, but it runs out of steam quickly. The steamer is large and bulky, and it requires a lot of space. The handle is also long, making it a little difficult to maneuver. The steamer also turns off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity, which is great for conserving energy. The steamer's attachments are also a bit flimsy, so don't expect to do any heavy-duty cleaning on them. Another drawback is that the steamer doesn't provide much heat, so it's difficult to dry delicate fabrics like silk. Overall, the Black & Decker HGS200 Garment Steamer is an efficient and powerful steamer, and it easily beats other steamers in our tests when it comes to continuous steam, but it has a few drawbacks.
