| Is it really Professional????? |
All-in-all I would say yes! I mean it's not like the average dry cleaners steamers, but it'll due for what I need it for. As a wedding consultant/coordinator I found that many members of bridal parties needed the use of an iron/steamer, so I decided to invest in one. It has been a hit as far as making the final touches to the attire spectacular for such a special day! All-in-all, great investment! |

| Truly disappointed . . . does not work well |
I got this steamer in the mail yesterday, immediately set it up, filled it with the recommended distilled water, turned it on, waited 5 minutes (as another reviewer suggested), pulled a bunch of wrinkled poly/cotton blend shirts out of the closet, and was ready to steam like crazy . . .
But to my HUGE disappointment, found that it just doesn't work all that well. Wrinkles don't come out unless you make multiple passes and pull a lot on the fabric at the same time - I kept burning myself in the process. And the wrinkles just wouldn't budge from some fabrics. Seems to do the best job on 100% cotton with only mild wrinkles.
I wasn't expecting crispness from a steamer. I was, however, expecting to be able to get wrinkles out with less difficulty than ironing - which just isn't the case with this steamer.
In all honestly, I'll probably end up giving it away. It's not even close to a substitute for an iron. |

| Never Iron Again!! (or get jammed by your dry-cleaner either) |
I steam-pressed EVERYTHING I could get my hands on. I ran out of H20 and went back for another 2.5 liter. I pressed clothes that have been waiting to be ironed for two years. I cleaned my arm-chair (unbelievable) and took a couple of stains out an area rug. Good thing we don't have a poodle or it would be running around with straight hair right now.
I'm going to chuck my ironing board off the Coronado Bridge and throw the iron through the window of the dry-cleaner who has been RIPPING ME OFF for years. |
