I go through a lot of steamers since they're easy to use. I loved this little mint pastel colored chic steamer. It's best suited for travel since the tank capacity is smaller than the regular steamers we use at the home and it straightens upright, for easy packing. It does make a rhythmic humming sound when the steam first comes out but it's negligible in the functionality. The pros, at times, act as a con as this steamer takes 2-3 refills in steaming out a linen blazer, so be mindful of that and keep a bottle of water handy.
