Haan GS30 Professional Review
We reviewed the Haan GS30 and expecting it to be one of the best steamers we have reviewed. What did we find? The Haan GS30 is advertised as a professional grade, 1500-watt garment steamer. The 212 degree steam output is the highest we have tested and Haan claims this temperature will kill e-coli, dust mites, salmonella bacteria and other germs in one second while steaming making this a great product to sanitize and steam bedding, sofas, drapery and clothing. Even though the steam is that powerful, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a cause for damage and is actually much gentler than those of a regular table top iron that could even burn clothes!
Haan GS30 Professional – Design
The Haan GS30 comes with some handy accessories such as a handheld pressing board, creasing tools, and upholstery, lint, fabric and fur brushes among others. During testing we found the most useful attachment was the pressing board which when placed behind the garment, is able to make excellent creases.
One of the most handy features you can get with any steamer and is included with the GS30 is a built in telescopic hanger with adjustable clips and locking bar which is adjustable up to about 62 inches off the ground. We thought the rod was about 1 foot too short to be truly effective to steam clothes on for even slightly above average clothing, sheets, etc.
Haan included the large (2500 ml) removable water reservoir that is easy to fill it up at a faucet and is designed with indicator lights to indicate when needs refilling. Additionally, this steamer has automatic shut off safety features built in too.
The base of the steamer includes a four-wheel caster system which provides decent stability and balance and rolls easily from room after room.
The steamer measures 12 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 10 inches high. It weighs 7.8 pounds and is backed by a one year warranty.
Overall the Haan GS30 Professional Clothes Steamer appears to be a very durable and well-made unit that should give years of use, which you would expect with a machine at this price.
Haan GS30 Professional – Performance
Our review of the Haan GS30 was quite positive. The unit is easy set-up, has a well thought out design and great performance. Steam comes out quick and consistent, without the spurting and gurgling that is typically found in less expensive steamers. It only took 42 seconds during testing to be fully ready for use and lasted for 94 minutes. We really like the high heat and claimed ability to kill germs. While we don’t know that 212 degrees will kill 99.99% of germs in one second of steam, it is a good selling point to us.
The nine high-velocity steam jets on the oversized head (almost oversized) smooths away wrinkles and freshens up most fabrics, especially cottons in seconds — faster and much gentler than a traditional tabletop iron, without the stiffness and danger of scorching. Delicate fabrics were safely steamed and looked great. Some heavier garments with heavy creasing will take a little time to straighten out but the large head makes it faster than many other units
Our biggest complaints we had with this unit is the hanger height and the stability. Neither one is a deal breaker however. Possibly for under 6’ users it wouldn’t be a problem for the hanger height, but an extra foot would do wonders for larger items. Also, while the stability was never an issue during testing but we think should be a little better as heavy objects will make the unit a bit top heavy and the potential exists to topple over. Even so, with the automatic shut-off safety features, this is less of a concern than other steamers.
We found that the cool mitt and pressing board were very useful during testing to getting the best steaming results and also not burning our hands.
Overall our Haan GS30 review showed excellent value for the money by making easy work of most garments, fast and consistent operation and long capacity due to the large water tank.
