There are several different types of steamers on the market, but some might find that a model like the Philips Refresher Steamer could be easier to use than most that are generally available. It resembles a hair straightener and is held the same way, equipped with a pair of metal plates that vent out water vapor.
The long panels that Kevin Jinhui Li installed in this concept domestic device have a sufficient reach to press a good portion of a shirt before it needs to be flipped around to de-crease the opposite side. With its powerful external heater, the Philips Refresher Steamer would be especially great for smoothing out neckties and it doesn't take up too much storage space in your home.
