This is easier than dragging out the ironing board. It's also easier than laying the portable handheld iron steamer on a flat surface and ironing it section by section, having to move the garment into the correct position to iron the correct section. Overall, with a steamer, I find there is less maneuverability. You simply hang the garment on the hanger and run the garment steamer back and forth over the folds.

It can restore shrinkage to some garments that have shrunk during the wash. Ironing can do the trick too. The steam relaxes the fibers and helps the garment to unfold back. It is almost always suitable for rayon items and most cotton items.

A steamer takes less time to cool than an iron. Not only is the steamer smaller, but it also takes less time to cool. It's a small thing, but it makes a difference. Some other handheld mini steamers are portable but have a 260ml water tank which will allow you to get steam that lasts for 15-20 minutes. With smaller tanks, you'll need to fill them more often.

Some garment steamers have a continuous steam option button. Some steamers require you to hold down a button anytime you want steam to come out. If the garment steamer is on, the other garment steamers will emit steam constantly, wasting steam when you move clothes around instead of actually steaming. This one gives you the best of both worlds. Once activated, you need to press a button to release steam, so you don't waste steam when you don't want it. However, you can also tap a switch to hold the steam button down so you can get a continuous flow of steam without having to keep your finger on the button.
