Default Hand Held Steamers

I would like to bring along a compact handheld steamer on my next voyage. I've seen a lot of them being advertised but some have bad reviews. Does anybody know of a good portable steamer for occasional usage? Thanks

I just asked for one for Christmas to bring on my cruise in the spring. It is an italian brand - "italsteam". Try italsteam.com. The key is not to forget to put salt into the water. It is awesome, I love it.

I would recommend the Joy Mangano Steamer. I got one as a gift (along with her amazing hangers) and love it!!

However, on a cruise I never take it. I usually hang my items in the bathroom and take a hot shower, or run the shower while I get ready. Works great and takes up no room in my bags!

I have a Black and Decker hand steamer that has went on every cruise and land trips. It has kept going strong since 1997.

Always take my Joy Magnano mini-steamer from HSN..easy to pack and use and you
can touch up those spots that need it to steaming my husband's suit.
