algo dispendioso estara llenando frecuentement el tanque, pero vale la pena, my practico y util.
UPDATE: company reached out and sent a new one free of charge. Great customer service.
Worked really well the first use. The next time it started spewing water out everywhere. The water was under the max limit line. Unfortunately I can’t return because I threw out all the packaging.
This steamer truly works and is great for the price! The only iffy thing is not being able to lay it down flat so you have to have the clothes hanging, but it’s not a huge problem.
I love this steamer. I take it to all of our trips and it works well. I did have an issue recently and reached out to their customer service. They responded quickly and helped me out. Thanks again!
This has definitely gotten its use and has been great to have on several occasions. It’s become a travel and household essential to quickly get wrinkle-free clothes. This heats up quickly and the steam is very hot, so be careful where it’s pointing when you set it up.
Great steamer for the price— heats up quickly and easy to use.
Overall it’s is great, but disappointing that Amazon wouldn’t refund me for the damaged brush.
Bought the steamer for my son to take to college. Compact design made it a good fit for a dorm room with limited space. I tried it out for a couple weeks before he left for school. I was lost without it when he took it with him. So I bought another one for me. Quick heat up and is more convenient than dragging out the ironing board. Actually does a better job faster than ironing for most garments. Really impressed with this steamer.
It was a gift for my mother. She was satisfied
I used this steamer too remove creases and wrinkles in a dress.
This steamer is perfect if you are trying to make your outfit look more put together in a matter of a small amount of time. It heats of FAST! and it is very easy to use as it only has one setting. Of course depending on the fabric material it may take a couple passes, but I have never had to take more than 3 passes. If you work through it slower you will get even better results. This helped me with blazers, blouses, regular mens button up shirts, and even bridesmaid dresses. I have bought this for myself and as a house warming gift.
Does what I need, replacement bristle heads are a good feature
I loved this . Wish I bought it a long time ago
I had a problem with my first steamer from this company. It stopped working after the return window had closed.
I left a review. The company contacted me and sent me a new steamer. So far the steamer has done well. The only thing I don’t like is that the attachments fall off easily which causes the garment to get a tiny bit wet in spots. My former steamer, from another company, did this as well. Im satisfied with my replacement steamer. It works 100% better than the first one I was sent.
I was shocked how good it took out the wrinkles
Seems to work well. I’ve only used once. My last portable steamer broke at the plastic seam on the bottom. Hoping this one hold up better. I like the large capacity of this unit. It might be a bit large to travel with.
I bought this specifically for a week trip to Vegas, but I never ended up using it. Yesterday my husband was complaining that all his dress shirts for work were wrinkly on the collar and down the buttons so I thought I’d give it a try. Assembly and filling the reservoir were both super easy. After I plugged it in I waited about a minute for it to heat up. Instructions were super easy: start at bottom of shirt and slowly move up. Wrinkles GONE. Maybe two swipes per front of shirt- bottom to collar. I also held it against the collar for a two count and it flattened right out. Only thing is that you have to be careful not to burn yourself with the hot steam and also the nozzle. Seems self explanatory but with the cord and maneuvering the shirt, it was easy to accidentally steam my finger a few times. All in all good buy and I recommend to everyone!
it does a good job although I had to go over the fabric a few times to get the wrinkles out.
his is great to get wrinkles out of a uniform when you don’t have the time to get the iron ou
This steamer heats up quickly and does a good job steaming.
I figured this would be sort of just okay but that was all I needed. Wanted for curtains, dance costumes, just occasional use. It has exceeded expectations and been way more useful than I imagined. I even used it to steam my couch and rugs when I was afraid my dog might have fleas.
I use this every time I launder my clothes.
Works especially well on back pockets of dress slacks !
Great product. One thing to be cautious about is that it gets hot really fast! Other then that it works great!
This steamer is most useful for quick ironing jobs. I have not traveled with it but I’m sure if I do, it will be most helpful!
This handy little steamer is working just fine for my purpose. I avoid ironing at all costs but when the French seams on my clothing curl or invert I have to pay attention. This steamer works very well to straighten those out and negates the need for dragging the iron and ironing board out of the closet.
It is easy to fill, boils/steams quickly, and since I’m not doing entire garments, the water chamber holds plenty.
This is small and easy to use. It works well at removing wrinkles and is much easier than ironing. I’m glad I bought it.
I love this thing. No more wrinkly clothes and so easy to steam anything. Super convenient and easy to use. I reccomend this to everyone looking for a little steamer.
Highly recommend this item to remove wrinkles from clothing. I was surprised at how easy to setup and quickly it was ready for use not to mention how well it worked.
All my hubby shirts and kids or just let say all the household laundry
Es perfecto para planchar de forma rpida y sin complicaciones. El vapor que emite es bien potente. Ya no tengo que joder con mesa de planchar y planchas.
This is really great because I don’t iron. The 1 flaw is that there is no on or off switch. Once you plug this puppy in it starts spewing steam.
This is my first time using a small portable steamer and OH MY GOSH! It’s amazing! I’ve used a large one before when I worked at a clothing store, and it is no where NEAR as good as this one is. Wrinkles were gone in seconds! Love love love
This product is amazing. It’s small so easily portable, but works so well! The steam output is amazing allowing for quick wrinkle release (because who wants to spend all their time steaming clothes). Heats up quickly and shuts off/cools down just as quick. Would recommended 10/10
This steamer is awesome!! Its the best steam Ive ever had, It comes with extra attachments which is always a bonus. Plug it in and she’s ready to go in less them 5 minutes.
I bought this steamer to bring with me to a cabin that I knew would have an iron. Within minutes I was able to finish steaming the creases out of a new dress shirt for a wedding and touch up my dress. Since then I have used it daily for my work clothes because it’s so much more convenient than dragging out an ironing board and waiting for the iron to cool down before putting it away.
This steamer does the job but too big to travel with …will keep to steam clothes at home
Me he parecido genial para su precio y tamao. Es para planchar poca ropa porque el agua se acaba fcil. Siento que plancha muy bien!
This steamer works wonderfully (when it worked)! I had the steamer for about three months when it started to just shut off randomly while I’d be using it. I contacted customer service and they sent me a replacement no questions asked and processed the replacement right away! Amazing customer service all around and I’m excited to get my replacement steamer and start using it again- it works great!
Reduced wrinkles, but did not eliminate all of them. Takes time so don’t try to rush removing the wrinkles. I had to use it several times.
As a professional photographer, it’s essential that I can work with backdrops in a fast and efficient matter. Handeling large backdrops can be quite a nightmare, but this little hand steamer made my preparations so easy. I steamed a photography backdrop 6.5x10ft/2×3 meters in no time using the brush that came with the steamer (two brushes came with it). The only thing that annoyed me (hence the 4* rating) was in fact the brush as I couldn’t get it to fasten on the steamer nozzle properly and it kept falling off. But even with that, and placing the backdrop in front of a wall using it as a surface for my steaming, it didn’t take long before the entire backdrop was nicely steamed, wrinkle-free and ready to be used. I also used it on large polyester backdrops and it worked great for that as well. I can imagine that this steamer is great for travel as it doesn’t take much space and will fit perfectly in a larger handbag or small suitcase/carry-on bag.
it is good, but i think i do not know how to used it and it is not working the best for me.
I will never use an iron again. Talk about wrinkle free! Yes this does the job! This steamer is freakin amazing. Easy to use, heats up fast and can easily travel with it. Great brand, great price! It’s nicely made, doesn’t feel cheap at all! I love this thing!
It has a lot of steam and works really . I used it for a new set of curtains and my granddaughter’s Cinderella costume. Order it and came in mail it was really wrinkled. Both curtains and costume looked great!
I don’t need creases in my work shirts, but want them wrinkle free. This does the job very well. I have used my iron only once since buying this.
I have some chiffon silk shirts with sheer lantern sleeves that are delicate though always wrinkly when in a closet for a bit or brand new. This steamer was simple to use and quickly accomplished the goal, bye, bye wrinkles. I should have taken a video because it’s night and day than if it wasn’t used before the shirts are worn!
Loved how easy it was to use, quick to heat up & simple steam to get wrinkle free garments.
I haven’t used the brush attachment because honestly, I didn’t even read the instructions.
Pour water in, plug in, switch on & steam.
Used this to steam my dress for a concert. Just packed it in my bag & used at the hotel.
I am rarely impressed with a product, but this little thing did just that. I went from an incredibly wrinkled shirt to a smooth one in 5 minutes. I could have taken longer but for the intend and purposes that was enough. Heats ip fast, small enough to travel, great heat/steam output and comes with 2 brushes and water accessories. Overall, happy with this purchase
Bought this for my son to take to college, he said it works great and is simple to use. He’s never gotten a wrinkle out of anything on his own before, so for him to say it’s easy to use and works great is saying something!
This is a handy steamer and works overall. However, the brush keeps falling off, so I do not think this was tested for real use. Also I wish I could tilt it a bit, although it was clear in the description that this was not possible. I did not realize I needed a bit more flexibility. Nonetheless, overall, it is a good steamer if you do not use the brush, and keep it straight.
The steamer is perfect for travel. It did well taking the wrinkles out of suitcase clothes. The only thing it struggled with were larger garments like a long dress. Otherwise, it’s great little steamer!
This little tool really impressed me on the very first use. I needed to release some wrinkles from a heavily pleated skirt and top set that a regular iron wouldn’t have worked on. So I finally decided to buy one of these handy steamers and WOW! How on earth have I never owned one of these before now?! This thing is fantastic!
For years I’ve been saying I was going to get a steamer. I used one all the time when I worked in retail to steam bustform outfits and such. I waited way too long. This is a great deal and it works well. It doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes to heat up and it steams expertly. I wish the handle detached so I could go beneath the shirt since I find that a bit easier in the steaming process. It’s hard to do that with it attached to the water compartment. Really great product, though.
I run and close for me has never been so easy the first time I tried it and heat out very quick and he works for it every kind of clothes that you have this is really useful and it’s very small so you can pack it together with your luggage whenever you going on a trip and you can have your clothes always clean and wrinkle free
I just bought this steamer. I used it on my uniform to see how well it works. Uniform had been folded inside an overnight bag. Steamer heated up very quickly, within 2 minutes. The little brush attachment snapped on and stayed on well. Steamer is small enough to fit in luggage and very light weight even with full fill of water. I bought the larger steamer. Worked well for clothes. This review is after only 1 use, but I like it! I’ll update later.
I thought this would be smaller and easy to travel with but it’s not. It almost takes up the same amount of space as a full size iron. So don’t expect a pack this in your luggage carry on and it not take up much space. But if you’re using a check in large luggage it’s totally worth bringing. I used it to iron out the wrinkles in my suit and it worked perfect.
This works well enough. But several reviewers have referenced burns from leaks. The best way to prevent that is to always keep the steamer level, and don’t tilt it to either side. This results in the collected condensation on the head of the steamer dripping or leaking onto whatever is below it- the carpet, you, a pet- so always keep it level.
The brush head of the steamer can also fall off mid-use. If this occurs, turn it off, wait until the steamer is cool again, then reattach. Otherwise you will burn yourself as the steam is super hot.
I used this to dewrinkle a Halloween costume, and it worked fine.
i’ve always had a stand-up steamer so this is the first handheld one i’ve gotten. it gets super hot and heats up very quickly! perfect for travel! i feel like i have to go over an area more than once on a cotton shirt or pants but it does it’s job. no regrets in the purchase.
I tried it at home, before taking it on a Cruise . It worked great ! Then I checked the cruise website ( RCL ) and it stated that steamers were not allowed. During my stay , I spoke to a guest who was successful in sneaking in one unit . Then on my way out of the ship , I noticed that there was a table with several steamers ( and power strips) that were taken out of suitcases and were waiting for their respective owners to be taken back home. So if you are using it outside of a Cruise ( it works great ) . But , if you are taking it to a Cruise , have a plan B , in case it gets taken from you.
This is my first steamer as an adult LOL. I think it works well seems to get the wrinkles out pretty good but I think It could do better. Also, the little brush that comes with it to put on the edge is hard to keep on but necessary, kept falling off.. finally I really forced it on there and I think it’s secure can’t really complain about it more than that as I have nothing to compare it to & it is releasing wrinkles. 4/5
Fill it with water, put all the parts on, plug it in, switch it on and voila – steam comes out! I tried it on a dress that was probably in need of a really good iron instead, and it did it’s best – I find my Phillips steamer is more powerful, but this beaut takes more water, which is always a plus, and does it’s job.
was very easy to use and took all the strain out of using a conventional iron.
Actually, for what you pay, it is actually very good indeed. I so wanted this to work well and it does have good qualities for sure.
But, you would never put away your ironing board forever.
This is great for travelling if you need to have a few items of clothing with wrinkles removed. Like teeshirts, shorts, shirts. (Works really well on cotton)
If you have a small number of clothes like this and you you dont want to get out ironing board and iron, this will perform a decent job, for a more casual event.
But if you need a professional finish, you will still need the iron/dry cleaners.
Brilliant! First steamer I have ever used and I wasn’t disappointed does what it says and value for money .
I purchased this item especially for a dress I purchased as it had very thin net material. The crease came straight out when using this .
I had already been given a clothes steamer but it was too bulky and heavy to travel with. I spotted this one in the sale and it’s brilliant for home or on holiday
This works great, heats up very quickly and great for wanting to sort what your wearing quickly so you can get out of the house
Purchased different hand steamers, some far more expensive, this is the easiest & most efficient used.
Works well on lightly creased items. Took a lot to do a very creased linen shirt but as I hate ironing and very rarely buy stuff that needs ironing it is simpler than getting out the ironing board. I would not take on holiday but that’s just me not worrying about a few creases. If you were going for a special event probably worth taking.
Box it came in needs to upgrade their packaging to paper tape not cello tape. Good machine does the job for 1 or 2 items does not replace an iron if you have loads to do as it does take longer to use this vs and iron. Would recommend.
I opted to purchase this due to not being able to iron as I can’t take a lot of heat. I used it a couple of times it takes out creases just it doesn’t have the crisp finishes that a iron would give you especially on short arms.
Bought this because I’m useless with an iron. Great for taking out creases and very easy to use! Highly recommend.
I wasn’t sure to buy but glad I did. It’s brilliant!
I love that it is easy to use and gets the creases out of my clothes when I need to wear something that has wrinkles in so much quicker highly recommended thanks for quick delivery
Best device for ironing out wrinkles in my new curtains. Very easy to use
It did a pretty good job on my thick blackout curtains so am sure it’ll be better on thinner materials.
I pressed my Mayors Robes and all the creasing were gone.
I have already used various large steamers and i knew before i bought the product how good steamers can be. They cant really replace an iron in most cases. They dont work well at all with pure cotton (and other similar material).
So bearing that in mind (for big steamers with a proper base) I wasn’t expecting miracles from this product. The results were still pleasantly surprising. The only thing that I dont think they have mentioned is, you will need a sturdy base behind it for the steamer to work at all. You might also need to pull the material a little with your hand to get better results. I hang clothes on my wardrobe to steam but some people might not be able to do that.
It also emits a lot of steam and dampens the surface behind it (with droplets of water dripping down). So you’ll have to be careful where you use it. It does spit water quite frequently so always better to use a day ahead
I’d say its too large to carry around for traveling. I’d rather carry a small iron if i have to
I needed a steamer to get the creases out of these beautiful satin dresses I got for my bridesmaids. I spent ages contemplating which one to get on amazon and in the end just went for this one as it was a best seller. So glad I did! Absolutely fantastic, works quickly, a continuous steam output, lightweight. Couldn’t ask for much more! I have no idea why it has so many bad reviews. It looks exactly as photographed. The photos I’ve uploaded speak for themselves anyway!
I never iron so thought a steamer would be ideal for me! This little steamer is great! Just move it over the clothes and the creases are gone! Very easy to use, light enough to handle for a long time.
I haven’t used it on very heavily creased clothes but mine normally don’t get that bad. So glad I purchased and will recommend to everyone
Really good steamer. Got out the most stubborn of creases.
The product does a decent enough job.
I tested it on various types of clothes fabric: cotton, linen, viscose, polyester, and it performed well on all. For basic ironing while travelling is just about OK.
The difficulty is to do with the positioning of the garment. The clothes need to be hanging on a hanger, but bear in mind that you must have a hard surface to press against when doing the ironing. When I tried to do it with the hanger hanging by the curtain pole behind a window, it did not work well, as I had no hard surface to press against. You cannot do it with clothes hanging ‘in the air’ so to speak.
The best performance was achieved with the hanger hanging on a solid hook on the door, that allowed me to press against the door while ironing.
Another major drawback is that this steamer does not allow you to iron if you place the clothes horizontally on the bed.
In other words, NO horizontal ironing, as all the hot water will spill from the container.
They could have designed it much more securely, so that the water does not leak when you turn the steamer at any different angle from the ‘standard’ one. This poses also a Health and Safety hazard.
Moreover, the actual ‘ironing’ surface is tiny, just about 4 cm legth by 0.4 cm width. They could have made it at least wider (if not longer too), so that it can tackle wide creases more effectively.
If you have a large/ long garment with creases, you need lots of work and time to get them smoothened out, because the steamer actual working surface is so small.
I would have also liked for the designer to add a led that signals when the water heating ended and the device is ready to be used.
But the good thing is that it seems to heat the water very well, and so it is powerful in the way it releases the steam.
All in all, the device seems quite basic.
It is basically like a vertical “kettle”. 😉 …, which brings me to the fun observation that if you take with you while travelling, you can also use the water boiled by it to make a tea or instant coffee. Ha. Steamer and kettle 2 in 1! A rather unexpected perk from a device otherwise a bit too basic and lacking design finesse.
I didn’t think a steamer would take out all crease’s but this one does
Easy to use, good size, is ready to use in moments and leaves clothes looking fresh and wrinkle free.
Brought this for my wedding dress and it is amazing easy to use and got all creases out
Took on honeymoon as well
Great product highly recommended
We’re always short on cupboard space so especially her clothes get squashed and wrinkled. She hasn’t stopped going on about this product since she bought it. Recommended!
The BEST steamer I’ve ever used. Heats up so quickly and does exactly what it’s suppose to. I love the size of it because it’s perfect for packing, and can steam a lot of items before the water runs out.
Very happy with this warehouse purchase. It was in perfect condition and I’ve now used it several times to erase wrinkles on bed and pillow coverings. Before, I would lug up the iron from my laundry basement area and spot iron flat surfaces. This unit is exceptionally easy to use and light weight. I’ve now stored it in my walk in closet as it will be perfect for fast touch ups on my clothing as well as bed coverings. I’ve seen way more expensive portable steam units than this and, honestly, for my needs, this was a super, affordable investment. It will be easy to stash in a bag for quick getaways and road trips.
Does what it says. I have used it on delicate silk and Aida cloth and it works very well.
Item is small and compact! Gives off great steam and works well
Great little steamer, lasts for a few items on one fill. Go9d for holidays. Good steam outpu
Great steamer, I’ve tried on my coat, easy to use, thanks
As someone who doesn’t get on with ironing, this steamer is a perfect solution! It gets wrinkles out of the most creased clothes, is super easy to use and handy as its portable. I love it! Saves the hassle of setting up the ironing board or the potential of burning your clothes with the iron.
I found it handy if you have a durable hard surface such as a door, you can steam garments against the door and it acts as an ironing board.
Only downside is the plastic cup to fill the steamer with water arrived cracked and the amount of water you can fill inside will only last you maybe 2 T-shirt’s before you need to refill (but that might be if you are steaming from completely wrinkled).
Wow this is definitely a product I did not expect to work as well as it did!!!
Had my doubts purchasing as was not sure it would work – how wrong I was!
Loved it so much I went ahead and bought a second one to give to a friend as a Christmas present.
Definitely recommend.
Light weight, easy to use and affordable. I did my curtains which I bought this device specifically for and you can see from the pictures the difference it makes. I would absolutely recommend. Remember, steam is HOT, don’t put your hand on it. I read a review on here showing someone who burnt themselves lol. Use common sense and this product is 100% safe.
This is perfect. Bought this to replace a much larger and more expensive steamer that broke and I’m much happier with this one. I like that’s it’s small and easy to store. I take it with me when I travel. When it starts to get calcium build up on the heating element it’s easy to clean with a bit of vinegar and a scrub brush. The electric cord is a good length. The steam output is steady and produces lots of steam. No issues with it so far, I have used it every week for a few months.
First time using a steamer and was very happy with this one.
Holds plenty of water to do at least an outfit.
does a great job..
Just don’t fill it completely to the top with water or it’ll spurt ou
I like the small size of this steamer. It holds just enough water to steam an outfit. My son doesn’t iron but needed something to deal with wrinkled clothes and this is perfect as it is compact and quite easy to use. Photo shows the volume of steam it produces.
This fabric steamer is both easy to use and well designed. The attachments, which are easy to put on , make handling any task with ease. The crease attachment sets it apart from other fabric steamers I’ve tried. It heats quickly and performs for about 25 minutes continuous use on a single fill, making quick work of all your steaming needs. Irons can ruin fabrics- steamers are the best way to care for your clothing.
Esta plancha de vapor vertical funciona tal y como una tetera elctrica (pero sin apagado automtico al hervir). El tamao reducido le permite calentar agua con gran velocidad (menos de 5 minutos para tener vapor suficiente). La cabeza removible permite que el llenado de agua sea extremadamente simple (una gran ventaja) y los materiales plsticos son de alta calidad. La longitud del cordn elctrico permite tener un gran rango de movilidad lo que facilta enormemente su uso. No la he usado para viajar, pero su tamao lo permitira sin ningn problema y la velocidad de planchado permite que no se desperdicie nada de tiempo en dejar la ropa lista para usarse. Definitivamente la recomendara o la volvera a comprar.
Let me start with a disclaimer: I am writing this review after only using the product once, but i will update if my experience changes after continued use.
I bought this steamer as a gift for my wife who wanted something simple to use and portable. The materials used seem decent enough for the price, it’s small (definitely portable), and there’s really nothing to using it other than filling it up and turning it on, which is exactly what she was looking for.
I tested it out on one of my work shirts (before/after in pictures) that was particularly wrinkly (left in washer too long before being hung on rack to dry).
I filled the unit up to just below the max line and turned it on. After about 1-2 minutes the unit was boiling and steam was steadily flowing out of the nozzle (this is essentially the same thing as an electric kettle but forces the steam from the boiling water out 5 small holes in the nozzle). I SLOWLY worked from bottom to top of the shirt on the front, back, and sleeves. After applying steam to all sides for about 4-5 mins total, I had the wrinkles down to a level that would be deemed acceptable for work in the office. Keep in mind that this unit is quite small (which is what makes it so portable), but the tradeoff for this is it doesnt produce nearly as much steam as a floor unit and hence takes more passes to achieve the “wrinkle-free(ish)” look.
If you’re a big wig at a fortune 500 company, the results from this product certainly wont compare to a press from a dry cleaner (or even a decent ironing job from someone that knows what they’re doing), but the results would be perfectly acceptable for normal office work or casual events.
If you’re looking for something to replace your iron that gets the job done just as well in half the time, then I’d recommend going with a larger floor unit steamer. However, if you’re like my wife and are simply looking for something simple, affordable, and portable that gets the job done, I believe you’ll be satisfied with this product for the price like we are.
PROS:
Price (very affordable at the time I purchased from amazon).
Easy to use (just fill it up and turn it on).
Portable (can easily fit in a carryon if desired).
Does a good enough job for what I paid for it.
CONS:
MUST use while completely upright (will spill boiling water if tilted too far – potential safety concern).
The unit is quite small so it takes longer than you might think it would to achieve desired results.
Gets small amount of condensation/sputters which may temporarily cause wet spots on clothes (they dry up quickly, but it’s something to be aware of for some fabrics that may have color-stay issues).
