Our picks

Best overall: Philips Handheld Garment Steamer 3000 Series, 20g/min (£39.00). Philips' 3000 Series is lightweight, compact and foldable for a suitcase, and heats up in as little as 30 seconds with a steam-ready light. It is rated at 1000W with up to 20g/min continuous steam, works on a hanger or flat surface, and Philips says the steam kills 99.9% of bacteria.

Best for packing: Tefal Pure Pop Slim Handheld Clothes Steamer (£26.99). Tefal's ultra-slim Pure Pop is made for travel and comes with its own pouch. It heats up in 15 seconds, gives 20g of steam a minute from a 70ml tank, and works vertically or horizontally. A reversible pad has a velvet side for delicates and a lint-removal side.

Biggest tank: BEAUTURAL 1200W Portable Handheld Steamer (£19.54). For longer trips or several outfits, the BEAUTURAL has a 260ml tank that steams continuously for 15 minutes and preheats in 35 seconds or less. It has a 1200W rating, a continuous steam lock, a ceramic plate, low-water and 8-minute inactivity auto shut-off, and a 1.9m cord.

Best 2-in-1 mini iron: Upgraded Travel Steamer with LED Display & 3+1 Steam Levels (£22.99). This is a 1000W foldable travel steamer and mini iron with an LED display, a 9-second preheat countdown, a dry iron option and 3 steam modes. The listing notes it is designed for 230V regions and is not suitable for 220V or 110V countries such as the US and Canada.

What to look for in a garment steamer for travel

Size and weight: a slim or foldable steamer takes up less suitcase space; a pouch protects your clothes from a damp nozzle.

Heat-up time: 15 to 35 seconds is typical for the steamers here, which matters when you are dressing in a hotel room.

Tank size: small tanks are lighter but steam one or two items; a larger tank handles several outfits.

Voltage: check the listing before taking a steamer abroad, as some are designed only for 230V regions like the UK and Europe.
