The second time I tried to use this it started boiling and was spitting boiling water out the holes immediately.. I could have been badly burned if I had not set down by the sink and unplugged it. Half the water boiled away in a few seconds..I am calling the manufacturer after the holiday.. Was hard to use the first time, no way to hold clothes straight without getting fingers steamed. Certainly would not recommend this to anyone.

I love my steamer. It heats quickly and I mastered the steaming technique in just a few minutes. I figured out you have to actually hold it against the garment to steam it. Quick and effective.

No, this steamer does not work like on TV. used it on parts of clothing that are difficult to iron. I have used the iron otherwise. As for the cord, the first thing I did was slowly pull the cord out. I noticed it was bent every which way. I straighted it out and put it back slowly. Now it works perfectly.water spits back, when you refill it. Good for freshing up after you ironed. I used rubber gloves so not to burn my hands. You need to pull the material to get the hard core wrinkles to soften.

Burnt husband 1st day out. Needed to order the bar and clips to effectively use this item. The color and size are great, super portable and easy to use, Just need the accessories and be careful not to burn self.

This is my 3rd. I like to auto shut off feature it keeps me from destroying the unit when it runs out of water. My girls are allergic to ironing much like housework & this works gr8 for them, it's quick & convient. It gets the wrinkles out of ALL their clothes w/no worries of scorching or having to turn them inside out. We travel with it. It works just as good as my large steamer just portable. I have no problems with any of mine. Thanx Joy

I recently bought veritcal blinds with a sheer covering. I thought this product would get out the wrinkles in the sheers. Wrong, after going over the drapes twice, the only thing I accomplished was getting burned, spilling hot boiling water and actually melting some of the vertical blinds. The wrinkles still remain!! Thank God I'm still withing my 30 days and can return this product.

It heats up really fast but did not remove the wrinkles as shown on TV. It was easier to just iron. If you don't hold it straight up it leaks and spits water all over the place. And it burns skin real easy. Great idea but poorly executed. But I sure love those hangers. Had bought Joy's luggage some time back...again I sure love those hangers and closet organizers..
Joy has some great ideas but maybe they get lost in the translation. The hangers are great!!

This might work if you had 2 people to use it - one to hold & pull & 1 to steam! Worked ok on tshirts but took forever plus if you pull a crease, the crease is steamed in so you have to do again. Then tried on cotton shirt - forget it! More new wrinkles than ironed. Didn't think too heavy until I finished, then I could feel it in my bicep for an hour. I could have ironed the 4 tshirts in 1/4 time and the shirt would have taken hours. TRASH, TRASH, TRASH.

I just used this today on several tee shirts and pants, it DOES work, and it works very well. You DO have to keep the steamer straight, so it takes a little practice to get the coordination right, but once you've mastered that it's such a convenient item to use. For under $30 I thought the price was right too.

Joy oh Joy, you got me again. I was so excited about this product. I wanted to finally have a way to get the wrinkles out of the all-in-one sheet dust ruffle;another bad purchase!!.I got burned on my hand from the the water that spits out of the steamer, and my bed got soaked from the huge blast of water that sprayed out. I should have known about the water spitting out, because I saw it happen while you were using it on tv. The steamer is on it's way back.

Do you have this steamer made in China and not the good
'ole USA? Maybe that's why it has such poor performance
and that minor detail isn't mentioned in the specs.

I love my little steamer, I use it in different ways. I clean my mirrors and shower glass with it's steam and just wipe it after. Sparkling clean!
Another is for my home sauna. I sit on a small chair, under a Queen size sheet while the steamer is going (must be placed under chair away from any part of body) and it takes only approx 10-15 mins, and I have every part of my body including my face detoxifying. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I save tons of money! Please tell Joy...

I bought this steamer because of the HSN presentation. Boy, I was very disappointed. It is nowhere as simple to use as shown. Clothes need to be hung flat against a wall or door. You need to pull clothes to try to get them smooth. The worst part is that if you do not hold the steamer straight the very hot water will spill - possible burning someone. I am sorry i bought this. Too late to return.....oh well.........

I ordered this before I took a trip in which we lived out of suitcases travelling to different areas each day. It worked so well on our clothes! It heats up in no time and works better than any steamer I have tried. I now use it daily instead of an iron for clothes that stay in the clean laundry basket folded for more than a few days! Works well on ALL fabrics including denim. Am ordering 2 more for gifts.

My daughter asked for one for her apartment, so I purchased one for myself, too. We took it on a two week vacation where we packed and repacked many times. It worked perfectly. I was worried after reading reviews, but, I didn't buy it to do all my ironing, therefore haven't tried to use it that way. It is for when I have one or two things to prepare before going stepping for the day or night. I was perfectly pleased with the way it steamed away wrinkles. Fast, easy, and fun. Thanks Joy!!

I bought this and LOVED it. I got the second onr for my secretary who loves it. Today my 21 year old son needed to iron his shirt(something he HATES to do)I told him to use my steamer. He was amazed and called it a miracle tool. It got his wrinkles out and he enjoyed it so much he told me he had to him get one. So...here I am buying the third one for him! I am very picky and did not have any of the problems the other posters have complained about. I say try it...you'll love it!!

I love this product and also haven't ironed since I got it. Am ordering one for a gift today. My kids all love it and use it regularly. i have read other reviews that were not so impressed, but I have found it extremely easy to use, and very effective, even on my 14 yr old son's shirts that he doesn't fold so well. In fact it is so easy, he uses it all the time. I frequently find it missing from my room because the kids take it!

I have a much more expensive steamer so I wasn't expecting much -
but it has worked out great!! I keep it on my vanity and before work, if something needs pressing, I can steam in minutes.
Would recommend and I'm a tough person to please :)
