With one fill of water, it can continuously steam for about 45 minutes, easily handling 8‑12 summer garments or 5‑7 winter coats. About 45 seconds fast preheating, plug and use. This High Performance-price Steam Ironing Home Use features continuous steam output – press the steam lock switch once and steam flows continuously, no need to hold the button, especially suitable for batch garment care scenarios. The 1.5m flexible hose and telescopic pole allow easy operation whether steaming dresses and coats on a hanger or flat‑ironing trousers and shirts with an ironing board.
Pricing Advantage
In the market of similarly configured upright garment steamers, FOB prices are generally concentrated between USD 15‑25. Relying on its own factory's large-scale production and over a decade of supply chain management experience, Meiyu Electrical has controlled the cost of this model to an extremely low level, with FOB Ningbo price only about USD 9.5‑10 per unit – 30%‑50% lower than the market average. According to public industry data, the global garment steamer market reached about USD 3.98 billion in 2025, among which the entry‑level upright segment (FOB below USD 15) is growing at over 8% annually, the fastest‑growing sub‑segment. Capturing the household care necessity market with lower procurement cost is an effective way for cross-border e-commerce sellers and wholesalers to quickly scale up and gain market share. The pricing advantage of this High Performance-price Steam Ironing Home Use means: if you are an Amazon seller listing at USD 24.99, after deducting FBA fees, commission and advertising, net profit per unit can reach USD 6‑8; if you are an overseas warehouse wholesaler distributing to offline stores at USD 15‑18, gross margin can maintain 30%‑50%. Every USD 1 reduction in purchase price expands your profit margin by one level.
Core Selling Points
Large tank, long runtime: 1.50L tank, about 45 minutes continuous work. Compared to common 0.8‑1.0L tanks on the market (20‑25 minutes runtime), this product handles 3‑5 more garments per fill. Specifically: at home, one fill can steam 8 shirts or 5 sweaters plus 2 trousers; in hotel housekeeping, one cleaner can handle 6‑8 rooms' linens without returning to refill; for housekeeping services, saving 5‑10 minutes refill time per job allows 1‑2 extra orders per day.
Flexible hose + telescopic pole: The stainless steel support pole can be steplessly adjusted from 70cm to 130cm, comfortable for operators from 150cm to 180cm tall. The 1.5m flexible hose gives a large radius of movement, the steam head can easily reach any part of the garment, whether collar, cuff or back. No need to move the machine frequently when steaming, and equally handy when flat‑ironing with a board. The hose outer layer is heat‑insulated, surface temperature below 50°C, not hot to touch after long use.
Continuous steam output: Traditional steamers require holding the steam button, causing finger fatigue after a few minutes – a big pain point for commercial users handling tens of garments. This product features a steam lock switch: press once to start continuous steam, press again to stop. Steam output is stable at about 32g/min, strong penetration, even wrinkle removal. Tests show a cotton shirt can have 80% wrinkles removed in 3‑5 seconds; a winter wool coat, with stretching action, can be smoothed in 20‑30 seconds.
Lightweight design: Net weight only about 2.8kg, about 0.5kg lighter than similar models with stainless steel head. The plastic steam head itself is about 300g lighter than stainless steel, giving a lower center of gravity and more stability. For home users, it can be folded and stored in a corner, and even a woman can lift it easily with one hand; for hotel housekeepers, moving it between floors is not too tiring. Optional caster wheels for the base (request separately) make moving even easier.
Multi-voltage compatibility: Two voltage options – 220‑240V/2000W for Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa etc., with plug options EU, UK, AU; 110V/1350W for North America (US plug) and Japan (JP plug). Just inform your target market when ordering, we will preinstall the corresponding voltage and plug – ready to use upon arrival, no modification needed.
Safety Protection
Though priced affordably, this High Performance-price Steam Ironing Home Use fully complies with IEC 60335 international safety standards, consistent with mid‑to‑high end models:
1. Auto shut-off when water runs out: An electronic water level sensor at the bottom of the tank. When water drops below the minimum safe mark, the controller cuts power to the heating element to prevent dry burning. Unlike one‑shot thermal fuses, this electronic protection is resettable: after refilling and powering on, the machine reheats without any part replacement, greatly reducing after‑sales maintenance cost.
2. Overheat protection: A bimetallic thermostat is attached to the heating element casing, and a one‑shot thermal fuse is connected in series as secondary protection. If abnormal conditions like steam outlet blockage, fan failure or high ambient temperature cause internal temperature to exceed the set threshold, the thermostat trips; it resets automatically after cooling. Even if the thermostat fails, the one‑shot thermal fuse will permanently melt at a higher temperature, completely cutting off power to eliminate fire risk.
3. High-temperature warning on steam outlet: A prominent red "High Temperature" warning label near the steam outlet complies with CE labeling requirements. Both the manual and the body clearly remind users to keep a safe distance of at least 20cm, effectively reducing burn risk – especially important for homes with children or the elderly.
4. Heat-insulated hose: The flexible hose has a three-layer construction: inner high-temperature silicone tube (resistant to 200°C steam), middle braided reinforcement for tensile strength, and outer PVC insulation. The grip area surface temperature is kept below 60°C, so accidental arm contact will not cause burns.
5. Tip-over switch (optional): For commercial high-frequency scenarios like hotels and housekeeping, an anti-tip switch can be added. When the machine tilts beyond 45 degrees or falls over, the switch immediately cuts power, preventing steam emission from an inverted position. This adds a small extra cost, negotiable for bulk orders.
Application Scenarios
● Cross-border e-commerce (Amazon/Temu/Shopee etc.): FOB Ningbo USD 9.5‑10, plus first‑leg shipping (e.g., sea freight to US about USD 2.5‑3 per unit), total cost USD 12‑13. Listing retail price can be set between USD 19.99‑24.99; after platform commissions and FBA fees, net profit per unit can reach USD 5‑8, ROI over 40%. A Southeast Asian seller has achieved monthly sales of 5000+ units on Shopee with this model, priced at MYR 19.9 (about USD 4.5), enjoying local import tariff advantages while maintaining good profit.
● Overseas warehouse / bulk wholesale: Product packaging is regular-sized, each gift box volume about 0.0378m³, a 20ft standard container fits about 870 units, a 40ft high cube about 1950 units. Sea freight cost per unit is very low (about USD 0.5 to US West Coast). After stocking in overseas warehouses, you can distribute to local brick‑and‑mortar stores, community group buys, gift companies, corporate procurement etc. Wholesale price USD 15‑18, gross margin 30%‑50%, fast turnover.
● Hotel / B&B bulk purchase: Daily linen care requires a durable, long‑runtime, easy‑to‑use steamer. About 45 minutes runtime is enough for one housekeeper to handle an entire floor (15‑20 rooms) of linens; about 45 seconds preheating does not delay guest waiting. The plastic steam head is not easily damaged if accidentally dropped, low failure rate, ideal for hotel bulk purchase. For hotel chains ordering 500+ units, price can go down to USD 8.5/unit, with logo customization available.

The telescopic pole and flexible hose allow flexible placement in fitting rooms or back‑of‑house without taking much space. One machine can serve 2‑3 staff rotating use, total daily usage 2‑3 hours, electricity consumption only about 0.5‑0.8 kWh – negligible cost.
● Housekeeping service companies: For on‑site ironing or centralized processing of customer sheets, duvet covers and garments, the 1.50L large tank allows 6‑8 sheets/duvets per fill without interruption. Housekeepers save 5‑10 minutes refill time per job, enabling 1‑2 extra orders per day. At a service fee of USD 4 per job, that's an extra USD 100‑200 per month. For orders of 100+ units, we offer free logo printing to help build your professional brand image.
● Home use / gift channel: For personal home use, this High Performance-price Steam Ironing Home Use easily handles daily garment care, seasonal wardrobe refresh, and large fabric items like curtains and sofa covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: There is no hard MOQ. Sample orders can be 1 unit (sample fee USD 30 plus actual shipping; sample fee can be deducted from subsequent bulk orders). Small trial orders recommended 50‑100 units. Large orders get better pricing (e.g., 1000+ units price can drop to USD 9/unit). Please send inquiry for a quote based on your quantity.
Q: Is USD 9.5‑10 inclusive of tax?
A: This is FOB Ningbo factory price, excluding 13% VAT and export tariffs. If you need a VAT special invoice (13% tax) or help with export tax refund, please contact our sales for separate calculation. We are a general taxpayer enterprise and can provide compliant invoices.
Q: Is this product suitable for Amazon US?
A: Very suitable. We have a 110V/1350W version with CE, ROHS and other basic certifications. However, note that Amazon US strictly requires electronics to have UL or ETL certification. We can provide internal test reports and circuit diagrams to assist your own UL application (cost about USD 5000‑8000, lead time 6‑8 weeks). If you prefer not to bear certification costs, you can choose our other model that already has ETL certification (slightly higher price), or list this product as an "accessory" or "spare" category (risk of delisting, not recommended).
Q: Is the plastic steam head durable? Does it break easily?
A: Our PP polypropylene plastic withstands up to 120°C, far above the actual steam outlet temperature (about 100°C). After 500 hours continuous use testing, no deformation or cracking. Compared to stainless steel heads, plastic is lighter, heats faster and costs less; the downside is less resistance to scratching by sharp objects (like metal brushes). For daily use and cleaning, use a soft cloth and avoid hard scraping. Under normal home or light commercial use, it lasts 3‑5 years. If you really need a more durable stainless steel steam head, we have another model (additional USD 1.5/unit).
Q: After auto shut‑off due to lack of water, if I refill, how long until steam resumes?
A: After refilling and repowering, because the heating element is still hot, the reheat time is much shorter than first heat‑up – about 30‑45 seconds. The High Performance-price Steam Ironing Home Use design allows refilling during operation: simply power off, open the cap, refill, and power on. We recommend checking water level before use to avoid dry burning, which extends heating element life.
Q: How long can it run continuously? Will it shut down due to overheating?
A: About 45 minutes is the runtime with a full tank. If you need longer continuous operation (e.g., a housekeeping company processing 20 sheets), simply refill before the tank empties to keep working. The built‑in overheat protection only triggers under abnormal conditions, such as ambient temperature above 40°C, air intake/exhaust blocked, or fan failure. Under normal conditions, it will not shut down due to prolonged use. We recommend cleaning the base air intake filter every 3 months to maintain good ventilation.
Q: What are the packaging dimensions and weight? How many units per container?
A: Single gift box size 45×30×28cm, gross weight about 3.2kg (including machine, accessories, manual, warranty card). A 20ft standard container (internal 5.9×2.35×2.39m) holds about 870 units; a 40ft high cube (12.03×2.35×2.69m) holds about 1950 units. If using plain brown boxes without gift box, loading capacity can increase about 10%. For specific loading plans, please contact sales – we can provide free loading drawings.
Q: Is there extra charge for custom packaging (logo, manual, gift box)?
A: Yes, plate making and printing fees apply depending on customization complexity and quantity. Rough estimates: custom gift box plate making fee about USD 150, MOQ 1000 pieces, unit price increase about USD 0.2; custom manual plate making fee about USD 80, MOQ 2000 pieces, unit price increase about USD 0.05; custom body logo (silk screen or sticker) plate making fee about USD 50, MOQ 500 units. For total orders above 2000 units, plate making fees can be waived. If you have no customization needs, we provide standard neutral gift boxes, English manuals and no‑logo body at no extra charge.
Q: How is warranty quality issue handled?
A: Within one year from receipt, for defects caused by manufacturing (not human damage, abnormal use, or force majeure), we provide free repair or replacement. Procedure: you provide fault video or photos, we diagnose; if covered, we ship replacement parts (steam head, hose, switch, thermostat, etc.) free of charge; for major cases, whole unit replacement (defective unit must be returned, shipping cost each pays own way). For long‑term large customers, we can set aside 2% spare units in the next order as after‑sales pool. Out of warranty, we still offer cost‑price spare parts and remote technical support.
Q: Can you send a sample to my overseas warehouse?
A: Yes. We can ship via DHL, FedEx, UPS directly to your overseas warehouse address, shipping actual cost to be paid. You can also have your local forwarder pick up from our factory. Sample fee USD 30/unit (includes one machine, neutral gift box, manual, accessories), which can be deducted from subsequent bulk orders. Typical delivery time: 3‑5 working days to major US/European cities, 7‑10 working days to Australia, South America, etc.
