When you're shopping for a laundry garment product, the first decision is whether you need just a steamer or a tool that can also press like an iron. The Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z attacks wrinkles with a powerful heating system and a heated aluminum soleplate, while the Conair Extreme Garment Steamer is a dedicated handheld steamer at a lower price. Both are open-box units from the same brand, so the real question is how much pressing power you want.
Quick verdict: Pick the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam if you want a two-in-one steamer and iron with a creaser and fabric attachments. Pick the Conair Extreme Garment Steamer if you want a simpler, more affordable handheld for everyday wrinkles.

Where each product wins
- The Turbo ExtremeSteam wins when you need to press creases into dress shirts or pants. It heats quickly, and the built-in creaser plus three fabric-care attachments make it a more complete garment-care tool.
- The Extreme wins on price and simplicity. It's a dedicated handheld steamer for refreshing clothes, curtains, and upholstery without the extra features and cost.
Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam 1875W Handheld Garment Steamer & Iron GS59Z
Choose this one if you want a single tool that can both steam and press. The 1875-watt system heats in about 20 seconds so you're not waiting around. The heated aluminum soleplate lets you press fabric directly for an iron-like finish, and the built-in creaser makes it easier to get crisp pleats on dress shirts. It's cordless, portable, compact, and refillable, and it comes with three removable attachments for different fabrics. The trade-off is the higher price: at $49.99, it's more than the Extreme. With more attachments and a dual-mode design, there are more pieces to manage.
Conair Extreme Garment Steamer
If your main goal is quick wrinkle removal without pressing, this is the more budget-friendly route. At $24.95, it's the lower-priced handheld steamer in this pair, and it's designed specifically for garments. It's also a good option for household use and on-the-go touch-ups, so you can grab it when a shirt needs a quick refresh. The open-box condition means it may show water spots in the tank, which is a minor cosmetic thing to watch for. It's a simpler tool than the Turbo, so it focuses on steaming rather than pressing. If you already own a traditional iron for pressing, the Extreme still covers the steaming side.
Final choice by use case
For daily de-wrinkling of shirts, blouses, and travel touch-ups, the Conair Extreme Garment Steamer is the sensible pick because it keeps the process simple and comes in at the lower end of the price range. For dress shirts that need crisp pleats or fabrics that need a pressed finish, the Conair Turbo ExtremeSteam is worth the higher price, thanks to its two-in-one design and fast heat-up.
