Quick answer
If you need a portable, grab-and-go steamer for quick garment refresh and spot disinfecting, the Laurastar IGGI handheld is your match. For larger steam jobs like refreshing multiple garments or sanitizing household items in one session, the Laurastar IZZI Plus steam cart offers more capacity and continuous steam.
Portability vs. capacity
The Laurastar IGGI handheld steamer is designed for one‑handed use and easy storage. It’s ideal if you have limited counter space or want to move between rooms. The Laurastar IZZI Plus steam cart, on the other hand, has a larger water tank and a wheeled base, making it better for dedicated steam sessions where you don’t want to refill frequently.
Steam quality and disinfection
Both models use Laurastar’s Dry Microfine Steam (DMS) technology, which produces a hot, dry steam that penetrates fabrics and kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and allergens without chemicals. The difference is in delivery: the IZZI Plus cart can sustain longer steam output, while the IGGI handheld delivers quick bursts for smaller areas.
Trade‑offs at a glance
- Portability: Laurastar IGGI handheld is ultra‑portable and stores in a drawer. The IZZI Plus cart is wheeled but takes up floor space.
- Steam duration: The IZZI Plus cart holds more water and runs longer without refills. The IGGI handheld is better for short, targeted tasks.
- Disinfection power: Both deliver DMS steam that kills pathogens. The cart’s sustained output is better for whole‑room sanitizing; the handheld excels at quick touch‑ups. If you regularly steam multiple items in one go, the cart saves time. For occasional spot use, the handheld is more convenient.
