A handheld appliance delivers heat and steam to a clothing garment or fabric. The appliance has a housing that contains a removable water reservoir, a pump, a control board, and a steam generator. The steam generator has a steam outlet that is a single nozzle connected to one of a plurality of output heads are interchangeably connected. Each output head has a steam outlet of different configurations to selectively vary one or more of steam emission pressure, steam emission distance and steam emission area. One or more output heads include physical components for direct contact with the garment or fabric.

A steam type clothing flattening device includes an electrical heating tray unit and a soleplate unit. The electrical heating tray unit is heated electrically to vaporize water in an upper vaporization chamber thereof, and has a discharge port for discharge of vapor from the upper vaporization chamber. The soleplate unit is coupled to an underside of and heated by the electrical heating tray unit. The soleplate unit cooperates with the electrical heating tray unit to define a lower vaporization chamber in communication with the discharge port, and has a plurality of vapor outlets extending through a bottom surface thereof for outletting vapor from the lower vaporization chamber.

A steam generator includes a pre-heat chamber configured to heat incoming water to a temperature less than the boiling point of water, where the pre-heat chamber is configured to heat the water such that if the water contains a calcium compound, the calcium compound is caused to take a particulate form. The steam generator also includes a filter assembly in fluid communication with the pre-heat chamber, the filter assembly including a removable particulate filter element, where the filter element is reusable and cleanable. The steam generator also includes a water pump in fluid communication with the filter assembly, and operative to cause water flow through the steam generator and a boiler in fluid communication with the water pump, where the water pump is configured to cause water to flow to the boiler, and where the boiler is configured to boil water such that steam is produced.
