Haven't bought one in 10+ years,
What's new?
Any decent ones that are recommended?
Have garment steam cleaners replaced irons?

Think they're meaning garment steamers which seem to do the same job e.g. https://www.briscoes.co.nz/product/1090980/sunbeam-power-sho…
Yea the new fangled garment steamer things
Ah - never used one of those myself.
I hate ironing so very rarely do it. Am interested in whether garment steamers are better/more efficient/are as effective/easier than ironing?
We bought this as it’s pretty high on the consumer recommendations, but also very cheap.
Only use it every couple of weeks but has been going well for nearly 2 years

I think invest in winkle free shirts that you can hang wet on a hanger and then go straight into the wardrobe to wear after they are dry
Nice - this makes so much sense!

Both work well and no need to pay an over the roof price. 👍🏻 (Though that Russell Hobbs from the link above for 45 bucks seems to be good too… 👌🏻)
absolutely recommend garment steamers! im still using an old garment steamer i got for cheap. only problem is one water refill is equal to about 1 and a bit shirts so maybe get something with a larger tank
Maybe I'm missing something here, but one is for cleaning a floor, and the other is for getting wrinkle out of clothes?
For the last forty years or more, irons have had a steam function, but it that doesn't clean anything.
