It has a relatively small water tank (5 ounces the portables we tried ranged from 5 to 8 ounces), and it did spit some water when in use, but it left fewer wet spots on clothes than the other portables we tried. It was also one of the only steamers of this size (often called “portable” or “travel” steamers) we tested that didn’t pour water out of the spout when tipped over. It’s less than half the price of the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer, and it was more effective at smoothing wrinkles than any other steamer we tried in its price range (most of which were junky). If you want a steamer on hand to occasionally freshen up a suit or a delicate top or to pack in your suitcase, you probably don’t need anything fancier than the Conair CompleteSteam Hand Held Fabric Steamer (GS2).
Plus, with two settings, the Conair Turbo steamer was one of the only models we tested that allowed us to control the heat and force of the steam: We used the “steam” setting for smoothing delicate silks, while the more powerful “turbo” setting was effective for tackling heavier cotton shirts. It also comes with several accessories, including a silicone band attachment for pulling fabrics taut, a mesh bonnet for protecting extra-delicate items, and a bristle brush for loosening fibers to allow for better steam penetration. The heat-up aluminum steamer plate glides over fabric, helping to smooth wrinkles nearly as effectively as a traditional iron.

The Conair Turbo steamer weighs just under 2.75 pounds with a full water tank (other midsize steamers we tested weighed between 2.5 and 5 pounds), making it among the lightest and most comfortable to maneuver.
It was also one of the only handheld steamers that didn’t leave wet spots on test fabrics. Like most of the midsize handheld steamers we tested, the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer (GS54) produced ample steam for the job, and it was easier to hold and more thoughtfully designed than the competition.
