BEAUTURAL Steamer for Clothes 1200W
Best for: First-time steamer buyers and anyone who wants a capable handheld without paying Conair money.
Our recommendation
Buy the Conair GS59 if you steam heavy fabrics, want five settings, and value the turbo burst for stubborn creases. Buy the BEAUTURAL 1200W if you mostly refresh light to medium clothes and would rather keep the price low. Both are good handhelds; the Conair is the stronger tool and the BEAUTURAL is the smarter bargain.
Steam power
The Conair's 1875 watts against the BEAUTURAL's 1200 watts is a gap you feel on heavy cotton and linen. The GS59 powers through creases in fewer passes, while the BEAUTURAL needs patience and repeat passes on the same fabrics. On light shirts and blouses, the difference narrows to almost nothing.
Settings and attachments
The Conair offers five settings and a 3-in-1 attachment set with a fabric taut band, spacer, and brush. The BEAUTURAL offers a simpler control set with fabric and cushion brushes included. The Conair kit is more complete; the BEAUTURAL kit covers the common cases well.
Weight and handling
The BEAUTURAL is lighter and simpler to hold through a session, which matters for owners with wrist strain or long steaming lists. The Conair is heavier, a fair trade for its power, but it tires the hand sooner. Try to judge by your longest realistic session, not your shortest.

Strengths and limitations
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam GS59
Strengths
- The 1875-watt generator is the strongest handheld output here, and the turbo setting gives extra steam for heavy cotton and linen that weaker handhelds merely dampen.
- Five steam settings, from delicate to supercharged turbo, mean one tool covers silk blouses and denim jackets without changing device.
- The included 3-in-1 attachment, with a silicone band to pull fabric taut, a delicate fabric spacer, and a bristle brush, makes the steamer genuinely useful rather than a bare nozzle.
Limitations
- The 7.3-ounce tank suits a handful of garments, not a full laundry load, so longer sessions mean refills and reheating pauses.
- At this wattage the body runs hot and heavy in the hand, which tires the wrist during longer steaming sessions.
- The built-in creaser helps with pleats and folds but cannot reproduce the sharp pressed edge of a real iron on formal trousers.
BEAUTURAL Steamer for Clothes 1200W
Strengths
- The 30-second heat-up is genuinely quick, so the steamer fits a morning routine rather than demanding planning.
- The detachable tank lifts off for filling at the tap, and the leak-resistant design allows vertical and horizontal steaming without drips.
- Fabric and soft cushion brush attachments are included, which help the steam penetrate heavier fabrics and refresh upholstery.
Limitations
- Lower wattage than the Conair flagship means deep creases in heavy cotton need more passes.
- The tank, while detachable, still limits longer sessions, so batch steaming means refills.
- The plastic body feels lighter and less substantial than premium handhelds, and the cord is shorter than the Conair's.

Made your call?
Questions, answered
Is the BEAUTURAL good enough for daily use?
Yes, for light to medium daily clothes. It heats fast, steams reliably, and covers the morning refresh well. It struggles only where heavy fabrics and deep creases demand the Conair's extra power.
Which is better for a first steamer?
The BEAUTURAL, if budget is a concern, since it teaches steaming technique at low cost. The Conair, if you already know you steam often and want to buy once rather than upgrade later.
Do both work on curtains and upholstery?
Yes. Both refresh curtains and upholstery, with the Conair handling heavier drapes better and the BEAUTURAL suiting lighter panels and cushions. For full-length heavy drapes, a standing steamer beats either handheld.
