The Little Steam Engine That Could

Go Mini Travel Steamer

You were steamed when American lost your luggage in Cabo. And when you got pickpocketed in Rome.

But aboard the yacht in Buenos Aires, you were not.

Just wrinkled.

The Go Mini My Little Steamer could’ve ironed things out.

We were skeptical about the gadget, what with our carry-nothing-more-than-an-envelope packing ethos. But it was so cute! And lightweight! And, man, effective. We ran it through the works — wrinkled cotton dresses, linen skirts, rumpled tees, the hotel curtains just for fun — and the results were astonishing.

Crisp, pretty clothes with no traces of having spent a week at the bottom of a rolly (or having been worn for three days running).

Go Mini unscrews into two pieces for easy packing, uses plain tap water, and has a long power cord.

So you’re ready for smooth sailing.
