If you want to cut down on ironing time, using a handheld garment steamer sounds like a great option. Handheld garment steamers are vertical garment steamers designed to quickly organize clothes on hangers without the need to set up an ironing board.

Handheld garment steamers are designed for last-minute touch-ups. If you need to do some emergency tapering before heading out, you should be able to grab your garment steamer and put it on your clothes.

They are marketed as lightweight and easy to use and don't require an ironing board. They are also recommended for delicate clothing as they reduce the risk of burns. You may be considering a garment steamer if:
1. You often iron one item at a time (and often in a hurry)
2. You want a lightweight iron to touch up your clothes when you travel
3. You find the iron and ironing board heavy to use
4. You have a lot of delicate clothes that are difficult to iron

Handheld garment steamers are smaller, lighter, and more portable than upright models. So if you want to take one on vacation, this is the kind you need. They have a small water tank inside the steamer, some shaped like a showerhead, some more like a kettle.
