A handheld, futuristic-looking option that’s conveniently tiny
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

This travel steamer is unique in that it has detachable bristles and a lint brush, to not only steam your clothes, but also tidy them up a bit. The folding handle also makes it easier to pack up in your luggage.

Promising review: "A little larger than a standard soda can, it’s perfect for travel. I bought this for a trip when we were going to have anniversary photos taken and it was really powerful and worked fast on my chiffon dress. I would definitely recommend dumping the excess water out immediately and leaving it open until completely dry - it would definitely get gross otherwise." Ms B

An iron-steamer combo from Black+Decker
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

Get the best of both worlds with the this steamer and iron combo. It is a bit heavier than your traditional travel steamer, at just over four pounds, but it's up for the challenge of heavier fabrics that your typical steamers may not be able to tackle.

Promising review: "This was perfect to bring to our elopement to make sure we had something small to pack that would do all of our de-wrinkling needs. Great to travel with!" —sruybi

Promising review: "Bought this gadget for a vacation and it worked like a charm even on denim. The only con is that it is a little heavy. But I love it so much I make allowances for the weight in my luggage. It is extremely handy around the house I use it on curtain's drapery so it's not just for vacation. It is very powerful" Shawnpert

A powerful steamer with a long cord with a high-capacity tank
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

With a 10-foot cord, you'll be able to steam even when your hotel room has limited electrical plug options. The large water tank and strong steam power make this CHI steamer a winning choice.

Promising review: "This is my first experience with a handheld steamer, and there were only two 5 star reviews for this product - but I took a chance and I’m glad I did! I knew Chi was great for hair straighteners and it turns out they make a great steamer too. The reservoir lasts a long time and it’s very easy to use. It took me one full reservoir to get a very wrinkly dress looking good." — NattyG
