Its compact size and ease of use have made it a popular choice among consumers.

[0003] Currently, existing handheld steam brushes mainly consist of a steam brush body and a water tank. Many manufacturers design the water tank as detachable to reduce the space occupied by the steam brush. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN 211142596U discloses a steam brush with a detachable water tank, including a housing and a water tank. The housing has an internal mounting cavity containing a steam generator, and the water tank is connected to the steam generator. The water tank is detachably connected to the bottom of the housing. A placement groove is provided on the housing, matching the shape of the water tank. The water tank can be placed in the placement groove and adsorbed onto the housing.

[0004] While the water tanks in the above patents are detachable, storing the tank requires creating a slot on the casing, which affects the aesthetics of the casing. Furthermore, the tank storage relies on an adhesive attachment to the casing, increasing costs, and the tank still occupies a certain amount of space. Therefore, we provide a handheld steam brush that combines a water tank and a storage compartment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a handheld steam brush that can be used for both water tank and steam brush, aiming to solve the shortcomings of existing handheld steam brushes, such as the need to open a slot on the shell for storing the water tank, which affects the aesthetics of the shell, increases the cost, and the water tank still occupies a certain amount of volume space.
