Great Little Steamer!,
I don’t understand the negative reviews as this is a great little steamer and I’ve had it for years. I could only find it online and purchased one for both my Mother and my Aunt. The trick is using distilled water (to prevent buildup) and not overfilling. I don’t ever fill it even to the maximum level. That’s when you have spilling and spurting onto your clothes. If you expect it to work like an iron, it won’t. And it works better on some materials than others. But if you’re looking for a great way to freshen clothes and cut back on dry cleaning bills, this is it! I don’t iron, so I use this for everything except my cotton work shirts, which I have dry cleaned.

Got mine today and couldn’t wait to test it out. Filled with distilled water to about 1/2″ under the “max fill” mark. Took around a minute for water to boil. I gotta admit, it’s a little scary at first to be toting around this container of furiously boiling water.
Tried it first on an old cotton shirt that I had already stuffed into a corner of the closet, to wrinkle it on purpose. It took a while, and I got the shirt “relaxed” but not “smooth”. Aside from a very occasional drop (which evaporated away on the next pass), I didn’t have any issues with it spitting hot water.
Next test: a wool blazer, now that I wasn’t concerned about spraying boiling water all over it. I used the lint brush attachment, and hey! This thing actually works! It helped to pull the garment taut while steaming. Watch those fingers… I think I saw somebody recommend an using an oven mitt in a review somehere? Not a bad idea. Anyway, this was a success, and pretty easy to do.
Third test: a linen blazer, using the brush attachment. Maybe chalk it up to practice, but it looked perfect in no time. Yay!
In summation: I’m still going to iron shirts that need it, but goodbye drycleaning. It half paid for itself in just a couple of uses. The power cord is nice and long. I don’t like that there’s no steam trigger, or even an on/off switch… once you plug it in, it’s on and steaming. Plus, it leaves garments steam-damp, and you need to let them hang out for 30 minutes or so to dry completely. But overall, it works as promised and saves me money. I’m satisfied withn the purchase and would recommend it to a friend. Hope this helps.
