Amazon.com Review
This fabric steamer offers almost as much power as a commercial model but in a more compact shape for easier home use and storage. Equipped with an efficient 1,200-watt heater, this helpful appliance emits 20 minutes of continuous steam through high-velocity jets. 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 T-shaped nozzle disperses steam in a wide path for faster de-wrinkling while the 5-foot hose and nozzle end stay comfortably cool during steaming. 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. Conair offers a limited one-year warranty on this compact fabric steamer. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Hate this thing December 30, 2008
Mary Perrin
I had problelms right off the bat. The hose screws into an opening in the base easily enough, but when i realized that this opening is also where the water goes in, i found i had to unscrew it. There are markings on the hose base for "Lock" and "Unlock". I moved it to the unlock position and pulled--nothing. i did it over and over again, tugging and twisting, fearing i would break it because it's only plastic, and still nothing. I finally realized that the markings were in the wrong place. i had to go past the "Unlock" position a good inch or so for it to come out. Then, as in other reviews i read, when i tried actually steaming a garment with it, it worked okay the first time, not great but okay, but the second time steam would not come out of the nozzle at all. The water was boiling, i could see it, and steam was coming out of the unit from the base and from where the hose attached to the unit, everywhere except from the nozzle. I could also hear that the unit was heating up, then cooling down, and it continued to repeat this cycle until i finally gave up and unplugged it. This product is a piece of garbage and it is going right back where it came from. You get what you pay for; i guess i need to spend more. And by the way, a cheap spray bottle filled with plain water will get wrinkles out of almost everything--for nothing.
Not worth it December 15, 2008

I got this product thinking that it would replace my iron and ironing board - I was wrong! It is not strong enough to take the wrinkles out of khaki pants or oxford shirts that are a cotton/polyester blend. The clothes do not hold their shape either. It took me longer to steam a pair of pants than it would have for me to just iron them because of how you have to tough at the pants to make the fabric straight for the steamer. I guess I was looking for an easy way out of ironing and this product was definitely not it!
 Works great December 4, 2008

This think works great. It is a little bulky and I wish the hose was just a bit longer but overall it does the job. It heats up quickly and holds enough water to get the job done.
Overall it gets an A
 Steamer Review November 10, 2008
EvaP (Colorado Springs, CO)
This works great, have used it quite often since I have received it. Not expensive and a great little machine. I would recommend this before any huge big steamer that takes up space.
 Works pretty well October 30, 2008
Sam Ramsey (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Do I like it? Yes. Am I blown away by it? No.
It takes about 5 minutes to warm up and start producing steam. The reservoir isn't that big so it can't steam for extended periods. It's either on or off, you have no way of controlling the output of the steam besides shutting the unit completely off.
It works really well for getting mild wrinkles out of clothes. It does not replace ironing or give clothes that crisp look like they were ironed. I have found that it works well for clothes that get wrinkled hanging in my closet; it freshens them up enough to make them presentable. That's good enough for me.
For the price you can't really go wrong. I've never used any other steamer but would expect some of the nicer more expensive ones to do a better job (which is to be expected). Again, I can't say without having owned a more expensive unit, but it seems that this unit doesn't output a lot of steam (but enough to handle minor stuff), which I would expect expensive units to do. After having used this it just makes me want to upgrade to a nicer unit because I can now see the value and convenience of having a steamer. I gather that a nicer one would come closer to eliminating ironing.
