When wrinkled laundry piles up, a handheld garment steamer can refresh shirts, dresses, and drapes in minutes. Conair's Turbo ExtremeSteam line offers two open-box handheld models for laundry and garment care with different personalities: one combines steam with an iron-style soleplate, the other is a simpler corded handheld. The listed prices sit $24.00 apart. Here's how to choose.
Quick verdict
If you want a cordless tool that does double duty as a steamer and a light iron, the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z is the pick. It heats in 20 seconds and brings a heated soleplate, fabric-care attachments, and a creaser to the table. If your priority is the lower listed price and you're fine with a cord, the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer Advanced Steam Technology - 4543452 offers a 30-second heat-up with a nozzle and nylon brush at the lower end of that price spread.

Where each model wins
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z wins when you need cord-free reach and faster heat-up. The 1875-watt heating system powers a quilted aluminum soleplate for pressing fabric flat, and the built-in creaser helps create sharp pleats. It's the more feature-rich choice for refreshing garments on a rack or touching up curtains.
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer Advanced Steam Technology - 4543452 wins on the lower end of the listed price range. It's corded, so you'll need an outlet nearby, but the included nozzle and nylon brush make it a practical companion for spot treatments on collars, cuffs, and upholstery.
Product notes
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z
This open-box Conair blends steam with a heated soleplate, letting you switch from a steaming sweep to a more direct press without pulling out a separate iron. The cordless design and 20-second heat-up mean you can move around a garment rack or doorway and finish quickly. It also comes with fabric-care attachments and a creaser, so you can tackle pleats and stubborn wrinkles. The tradeoff is that it carries the higher listed price of the pair, and some of the included extras may be more than you need if you only want basic steam. If you want to press sharp creases and move around freely, the extra outlay buys that versatility.
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer Advanced Steam Technology - 4543452
This model carries the lower listed price of the pair, and it is a working open-box white unit with a corded design. It heats in 30 seconds, so it's a little slower than the GS59Z but still quick for a last-minute freshen-up. The nozzle and nylon brush add targeted steam and fabric-brushing options, making it easy to de-wrinkle shirt collars or refresh a sofa cushion. Because it's corded, you'll stay within outlet range, and you won't have the iron-style soleplate or creaser of the pricier model. For straightforward steam-only garment care without the higher outlay, this is the simpler buy.
Final choice by use case
- For cordless pressing and creasing: Choose the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z.
- For a lower-priced, corded steam wand: Choose the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam Garment Steamer Advanced Steam Technology - 4543452.
