The steamer safely removes wrinkles and freshens up curtains, delicate clothing, and bed linens while saving the expense and hassle of a trip to the dry cleaner.

The fabric steamer's lightweight body weighs only 5 pounds so is easy to carry to the sink or tub to fill with water. Water level markings on the steamer's translucent blue sides show the maximum water level and when the tank needs refilling. For safety, this fabric steamer automatically shuts off when the handle is returned onto the body. For additional convenience, the fabric steamer has a 6-foot cord that wraps around the base for storage and comes with a door hook for hanging the nozzle and any garment.

Customer Review


I just got four new backdrops for my portrait studio...with lots of creases. I was looking a bunch of different steamers online and had no clue what to do...should I just get an industrial steamer? I had no idea. Well, I didn't have enough time to order one and get it in time to use the backdrops for an upcoming shoot, so I called my neighbor to see if he had one. I just got half of a backdrop done using this steamer and it's doing the trick. I've never used one before, so I really have nothing to compare it to. But what I do know is that when I've got several 10ft x 20ft backdrops and this seems to be doing the trick...I'm happy.

It also seems to be easy to handle and stable, which, when working with steam is a must.

In summary, I plan on ordering this very model in the next 24 hours.

Decent but Problematic Steamer (Also, Mold!) - Monkey Bingo - miami beach, florida
For the price, this is a good little steamer. It gets wrinkles out as you would expect... wool is magic, cotton t-shirts are good, button-up cotton shirts retain traces of wrinkles but major wrinkles dissapear. The steamer is easy to fill, though sometimes getting the hose off of the unit is difficult. One problem with the steamer is where to put the paddle when you turn the unit on. Unlike a larger unit, it doesn't mount above the reservoir. You either leave it attached to the unit (not ideal) leave it on the floor, or rig it so it hangs somewhere until the steam starts.

Like many here, I had the gurgling problem. Seems that water collects in the paddle. Before using, I find it useful to shake the paddle so that the excess water falls out, towel off the paddle, then apply to clothing. Also, it is important to make sure that the hose is not kinked, as this also adds to the problem. Occasionally you'll find that the steam is leaking out at the base of the hose, either due to a kinked hose blockage, or the base turning as you use the hose. This creates less steam out of the paddle, and thus more work to get out wrinkles. BTW, the hose is some sort of weak plastic and it will kink at some point despite best efforts to keep smooth.

I can't blame this last bit on the steamer, though it seems quite odd. I went to use the steamer today (I've been using it 5 days a week for the last month or two) and needed to fill it with water. I happened to look inside of the reservoir and noticed that the bit of water that was left in there was cloudy. After pouring it out, I realized that there was a fair amount of mold growing on the bottom of the reservoir. I believe it is growing on the plate that heats the water. So, wow, some extremophile mold. But also, that's it for me and this steamer. Gross!

don't buy this - K. cortez -
I bought this because there were a lot of good reviews, so I expected to get a good outcome. What I got was wet clothes. It just makes your clothes wet, it doesn't remove wrinkles. Yes, the steam is hot, but with all the water droplets coming out of it it doesn't make a good steamer. I held it upright, I always make sure that the hose is straight, but the water just keeps on coming out which makes your clothes wet.

Customer Review


My Husband & I bought this for 50% off on Black Friday at least 2 years ago while we were out shopping...so keep yours eyes open on Black Friday!!

This is pretty easy to use and the more you use it the easier it gets. I used to always have the ironing board out since my husband needed shirts for work 5 days a week. Although I used to work in a Laundry Mat and could iron like a Pro, it was time consuming and I soon hated it. My husband wasn't very good at ironing & it took him forever.

Once we got this we tried it out right away. My husband had his shirt steamed in much less time than if he had tried to iron and all the wrinkles were gone. He started steaming his own shirts and can now do it in just a few minutes per shirt. I have only used this occasionally, it was a little akward at first but after doing it several times it is easy.

As with anything dealing with steam, you have to be careful because it does get VERY hot. But just like a regular iron, you learn how to hold it so you don't get burned.

We've had ours for at least 2 years and it is still working perfectly fine. No, it doesn't heat instantly up but who cares, be patient.

My only wishes for this would be that the hose would be a little longer and that where the hose meets with the base would swivel up also. It swivels around but there have been many times where I've flipped this over because it didn't swivel up. But those are only minor things. If or when ours ever does quit working, we will be buying another one.

If you have anything with tons of major wrinkles, this might not work as well as an iron. But if you throw the garmet in the dryer with a moist towel for a few minutes and then try to steam it, normally you will be able to get all wrinkles out. I also love that even on items where you are not allowed to iron, you can steam out the wrinkles.

I have twins and their little clothes are too small for an iron and often times have bows, ruffles, iron ons and I am able to steam the wrinkles right out!

Not as good as other designs. - Common Consumer - Los Angeles, CA
When my prior Conair (a model with telescoping pole) finally died after many years of service, I thought that this was sufficient for my needs. A big difference in the design means that in this model, all of the water in the tank must first come to a boil to produce the steam. In my prior model, water was fed in from the tank to an area where it was boiled producing steam, so all of the water didn't have to be boiling before steam was produced. It now takes over 10 minutes for a full tank to come to a boil and produce steam. It's no longer feasible to steam something quickly like with the other design; it seems like a waste of electricity to boil so much water to just steam a single article. I cannot recommend this style of steamer.

Great for those hard-to-iron clothes! - gchick - NV
This is great for shirts with creases that are difficult to iron, pants with many pockets, collar areas, etc. I had stopped wearing certain work shirts because I couldn't iron them well. Now that I have this steamer, the problem is solved. It's also great to have for those delicates that may get damaged or stained by direct heat. The small downside is sometimes it releases water onto the clothes if you hold the handle sideways. It's no big deal unless you are in a hurry. Overall, I definitely recommend this.
