Every steamer makes you hold the fabric taut with one hand and chase wrinkles with the other — this one holds it for you.
It's not a faster steamer. It's a hands-free vacuum steamer — a different class of device. Here are 6 reasons people are throwing their old ones out.
It holds the fabric for you
This is the whole difference. GripSteam™ suction grips your clothes and pulls them tight against the plate — like a magnet — so the fabric can't sway or blow away. No second hand pinning the shirt. No ironing board. Steam it right on the hanger, over a chair, wherever it hangs.
The steam goes in, not just on top
When fabric hangs loose, steam rolls right off it — that's why old steamers need three passes and still miss the crease. Because GripSteam holds the cloth taut, the steam drives through the fibres. One pass. No wet patches left behind, so you can put it on and walk out the door.
No more burnt fingers
Every regular steamer makes you pin hot fabric with one hand and aim steam with the other — one slip and you catch the plate. Hands-free means your fingers stay well clear of the heat. The suction does the holding, so you're never gripping the cloth against a live plate again.
It gets the parts everyone gives up on
Collars. Cuffs. The tight gaps around the buttons. The spots that need the fabric held perfectly still — which is exactly what the suction does. Everything comes out flat in a single pass, not just the easy flat panels down the front.
It cleans while it steams
GripSteam doesn't just press — it pulls dust, lint, pet hair and dust mites out of the fibres and traps them in a collector on top. Empty it after one load and you'll see what was living in your clothes. They come off cleaner, not only smoother.
One fill does the whole basket
The 270ml tank — about a full water bottle — presses roughly 20 outfits before a refill, and it heats in about 30 seconds. This isn't a one-shirt-on-your-way-out gadget. Do the whole load at the rail in one sitting, and never drag out an ironing board again.

Steam Anything, Hands-Free — Get Yours Today
The Lumist, By The Numbers
“You just glide — it grabs the shirt”
I genuinely didn't get it until I used it. You don't hold anything — it grabs the shirt and you just glide. Did five work shirts in about five minutes, all on the hanger.
“The steam actually goes in”
My old steamer just made everything damp and the wrinkles came back an hour later. This one, the steam actually goes in. One pass, done, and I wore it straight out the door.
“My fingers are nowhere near the heat”
I've burned my hand on every steamer I've owned — you're always pinning the fabric right next to the plate. Haven't come close once with this. My fingers are nowhere near the heat.
“It's replaced the iron and the board”
Bit more than I wanted to spend, not gonna lie, and it took me a day to decide. But it's replaced the iron, the board and two failed steamers in the cupboard. For how often I use it, it's earned it.
“The lint tray was genuinely gross”
The lint tray after one load was genuinely gross — pet hair off the cat I had no idea was ground into my clothes. Now I run it on everything before I leave.
“Collars and cuffs come out properly flat”
Collars and cuffs were always the bit I gave up on. Because it holds the fabric tight, they come out properly flat now — even the little gaps around the buttons.
“Did the entire week's laundry off the rail”
Filled it once and did the entire week's laundry off the rail — shirts, my wife's dresses, the lot — before it needed a top-up. No more one-shirt-at-a-time.

Lumist uses GripSteam™ suction to hold the fabric tight for you, so the steam drives in and you work one-handed. It's a different class of device, not a faster version of the same one.
