I Never Believed in Small Steamers—Until This One Changed My Mind
To be honest, I never had much faith in steam irons. I always thought they were just gimmicks for gullible people—especially those so-called “small portable steam irons.” The first image that came to mind? A weak puff of steam, my clothes still wrinkled, and my hands sore from wrestling with it.
Turns out, I was completely wrong. Before a trip, I bought the Nesugar G3, a portable steamer, on the strong recommendation of a friend. She said it super casually: “It’s really useful. Anyway, it’s not expensive. Like holding a travel coffee mug.”
I’ve never seen a shirt so wrinkled come back to life like that. It looked like I had rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into a backpack—but somehow, it came back wrinkle-free.
How small is it exactly? You may not believe it if I tell you
The first time I got this machine, to be honest, I was a little disappointed in my heart. I couldn’t believe how tiny it was—smaller than my bottle of face wash. This compact steamer weighs just 0.75 lb—about the same as a pack of tissues—and comes with a 70ml water tank. It's obvious that it's not a tough player.
It turned out that I was wrong.
Although it's mini in size, it produces surprisingly strong steam for its size. It starts steaming just 15 seconds after you plug it in. The steam comes out evenly from all five holes. I ran it over my cotton and linen shirt, and the wrinkles disappeared instantly—it honestly works like magic. For the first time ever, I realized—a steamer can totally earn its fans with performance alone.
No ironing board? It doesn't matter. It's just designed for "hanging freely"
There is no ironing board in my home because I'm lazy. In the past, if one wanted to iron clothes, they had to clear the table, lay a cloth under it, and operate very carefully. Now I just hang my clothes behind the door, grab this small steamer, and get to work. It doesn’t leak or spit water, and it stays stable no matter how I hold it. Even though the head doesn’t rotate, the compact design makes it easy to maneuver around sleeves, collars, and hems without needing an ironing board.
This is simply good news for someone like me who is left-handed and has uncoordinated movements. Especially for some details of the clothes, such as the cuffs, collars and hems, there is no need to flip them back and forth. The compact body can easily handle them.
It looks sleek and stylish, but it’s anything but delicate.
Don’t let its sleek design fool you: with a deep blue-black finish and smooth, modern lines, it actually looks more like a high-end tech gadget than a steamer. But when it comes to real performance, it’s anything but delicate—it’s tough and reliable.
I have a linen dress, which is my favorite in summer. When wrinkled, it looks like like a crumpled paper bag. In the past, whenever I wore this dress out, I felt completely drained of energy and vitality. I ran this compact steamer over my linen dress for just three minutes—and boom, no wrinkles, no hassle. And somehow, I felt more energized too.
And what moved me the most was that it was really silent. It's none of that harsh hair-dryer noise you’d expect when turned on. Before leaving home in the morning, I ironed a piece of clothing, and my roommate wouldn't be woken up even in a dream.
For anyone looking for a compact steamer that actually works, this is a solid pick.
I never expected that it would be the strongest the ultimate hack for my lazy lifestyle.
Some people might say, "Isn't a small steam iron just for ironing clothes?" But as I kept using it, I unexpectedly found that its application in daily life was becoming increasingly widespread.
I use it to iron the corners of curtains, creases on bed sheets, and even a tablecloth that has been pressed into a grid shape because I forgot to fold it. I used to just put up with these things, but now with it, I can finish them in just five minutes and improve the overall cleanliness of the house by 80%.
Moreover, because it is not heavy and small in size, I even took it to the company. Put it in the drawer and iron the suit before an important meeting. It gives you more confidence when you walk.I even threw it into my suitcase—it’s the perfect travel steamer for hotel rooms and last-minute touch-ups.
It’s become my secret weapon for staying polished with zero effort.
Final Thoughts
To be honest, I never thought I would write so many words on a small steamer body. But who can blame it for being really useful? Now I can walk into a meeting or a date wrinkle-free—without the stress. Although the Nesugar G3 is called a small steamer, it is by no means 'petty'. It made me understand one thing: Life can be very lazy, but not sloppy.
