Conair Extremesteam Handheld Steamer
Conair’s Extremesteam handheld steamer was the top clothing-smoothing choice among all of the celebrity stylists we polled, including Krista Roser, Priscilla Valles, Mickey Freeman, Rita Hazan and Amanda Lim.
“I have tried just about every steamer there is, and my favorite is the Conair Extremesteam Handheld Steamer. It doesn’t spit water and there is a trigger on it so you are only using the steam when you want to. It doesn’t just stay on and use water so fast. I wish it was less bulky for travel but it’s by far the best I have been able to find.” — Krista Roser
“It’s a lifesaver during travels. One such instance occurred during a business trip when a colleague had to attend an important conference. With limited luggage space and no access to a traditional iron, the handheld steamer came to the rescue. The colleague was able to quickly and efficiently remove wrinkles from their professional attire, ensuring a polished look for the conference. The steamer’s lightweight design and portability made it convenient to carry, and its effectiveness saved the day, leaving a lasting impression at the event. A crucial tip shared by the colleague was to always conduct a heat test on the fabric before steaming, ensuring that the material can handle the steaming process without damage.” — Priscilla Valles
As for Freeman, he says the device “saved the day” during 2019 Paper magazine shoot with Keke Palmer when the on-site steamer stopped working. “[It’s] fast, lightweight, and easily knocks out wrinkles. In my opinion, it’s the most powerful and effective handheld steamer I’ve ever used. It also proved to be a powerful tool while on set of a fashion editorial photoshoot for Esquire Middle East with actor Woody McClain. Knowing that I would be styling him in a few menswear suits that would need to be pressed or creases added, I was not exactly sure that my steamer would be able to get his suits as crisp as I could with an iron; however, with this steamer, it was a success, taking less time and effort than if I used an iron.”
