Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer

I was tired of getting a stiff neck each time I ironed, so I purchased the Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer as an affordable alternative.

It heats up fairly quickly (in under one minute) and its description boasts that it steams away wrinkles “5 times faster than ironing”. Since I’ve never actually timed my ironing, I can’t verify that statement. But I can vouch that it gets the job done a lot faster than ironing does.

Don’t expect to get the same results as ironing though. It won’t give you that crisp, pressed look but it will smoothen out any wrinkles. The steam isn’t very powerful so you may need to go over thicker fabrics a few times. I mostly use it to smoothen out delicate fabrics, which gets done in a matter of minutes.

Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer comes with a pole for you to hang clothes on, but it’s not stable at all. I mostly hang lightweight blouses so this isn’t an issue for me yet. The few occasions where I tried to hang heavier shirts on it, the entire thing toppled over! If you intend to use this on heavy shirts that require powerful steam, you may be sorely disappointed.

The rollers make it very convenient for portability, but it doesn’t have brakes or stoppers so it tends to roll around a bit while I’m steaming. It was quite frustrating at first because I was spending more time chasing the steamer than actually steaming my clothes. I’ve since learned to use a lighter touch, although sometimes the stiffness of the hose makes that a bit difficult too.

All in all, the Home Touch PS-200 Perfect Steam Commercial Garment Steamer is fine if you only plan to de-wrinkle simple blouses. Otherwise, I’d invest in a sturdier model that gets more done with less inconvenience.
