I was wondering if anyone had purchased this item. I hate to iron and this looks too good to be true.

While I personally don’t have one, I can tell you that it will work on some fabric while not on others. The steam relaxes the fibers and causes the wrinkles to “fall” out. This will not give you the crisp-clean look of pressing.

Great for wool as it will not cause the material to shine as ironing would.

As a traveler, I have hung my clothes in the bath and turn on the shower full hot to fill the room with steam. This would steam out some of the packing wrinkles so the steam idea is not out of the question.

Next thing to remember is maintenance. As you boil off the water, you leave behind all the dissolved minerals. The harder the water you have, the more the build up. These will kill the machine.

While most steamers now say it's ok to use tap water, I still use distilled water in mine (most of the time, anyway) specifically to avoid the mineral deposit question.

Are you statisfied with the product? Does it really do the job?

Thanks.

I don't have the one you're asking about- one of mine is a Hamilton Beach travel steamer- works pretty well for spot use, takes too long if I need to do more than a touch up- my other one is a commercial steaming wand intended for use in a medium sized retail shop- it's overkill, really, but it can take the wrinkles out of anything from 10 paces and the brush attachment works miracles on drapes.
