Product description
This sturdy, durable wand steamer presses wrinkles out of garments, drapes, and upholstery quicker and easier than an iron, and it doesn't "shine" or scorch fabrics like an iron can. Wand steamers are popular in the fashion and entertainment fields, where wardrobe crews must keep clothing immaculate while working quickly. This 1,300-watt steamer shoots high-velocity steam jets out of a 6-inch-wide head to smooth any fabric from sheer silk to thick wool. A removable water tank provides up to 90 minutes of steaming time. The steamer heats in a minute and then rolls to work on sturdy casters. Garments and drapes can be pressed where they hang, including closets, or garments can be hung from a loop atop the steamer's sturdy aluminum rod, which screws together to rise 62 inches above the floor. For storage, the rod has a holder for the wand. Indicative of the steamer's quality is the brass fitting attaching the hose to the tank. (A wrench to tighten the fitting is included, and it has magnets for storage on the base.) Other features include an automatic safety shutoff if the steamer runs dry and a stay-cool wand handle. The steamer's plastic base measures 11 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 14-1/2 inches deep. The steamer carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews
Wife loves it -- 2010-09-07
I picked this up for my wife. She had a hand held steamer we had gotten from the "On TV" section of the drug store, and it had broken. She is in love with this steamer. It doesnt take up much space in the closet, the rack is really convenient for her to hang clothes on, and she loves the big clear water reservoir. It produces steam very quickly, and seems like it produces a very consistent flow.
Love it!!!! -- 2010-08-28
I usually don't take time to write reviews, but I have had my Jiffy steamer for nearly 2 years and I just want to say I think it is fantastic! I always feel a little more put together and wrinkle-free in steamed clothes. If you hang lots of items to dry like I do it is definately worth the money. After my clothes have air or line dried I run the steamer over them and they have the appearance of just bought store clothing.
I also have used my steamer for spring cleaning...just hold the noozle about an inch away from the surface or cleaning and wipe up with a microfiber cloth. Love it!
Overall pleased with this -- 2010-08-20
This is a high quality steamer. You can tell it is well made - the materials are sturdy, although the unit itself is fairly compact and takes up much less room in our laundry room than an ironing board. The question I had when I bought this was whether this will replace an iron completely. My best estimate after having this for a week, is that for 95% of my ironing needs, it will. For sharp pressing needs, like a man's shirt collar, I think we'll drag out the iron. When I first tried the steamer, I was a little nervous because it seemed like hardly any steam came out. It is not a heavy steam flow, but a light, but hot flow of steam - watch your fingers, I've burned mine twice. It is a little hard to maneuver the clothes as you steam them - I think the board that you can hang up would be very helpful, so we may get that later. I steam by hanging a garment on a separate clothes rod and hold the bottom of the garment while I steam the entire item, but when you get to the bottom, you have to move your hand to reach the bottom edge of the garment (again, watch your fingers). The water reservoir holds a lot of water, which is very nice. I also liked the fact that the papers that came with the unit say that they test each unit before it ships to you. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. I plan to get many years of use out of it and I think it will save a little time vs. an iron and I don't worry about damaging my clothes with a faulty iron anymore. An added bonus is that I will not worry about burning the house down with this like I did with the iron (steam vs. a hot piece of metal).
very good for the price -- 2010-08-20
This product is being used in a women's boutique. Granted, the clothing I receive is not badly wrinkled, however there are many creased areas. The steamer works great.
This steamer is very easy to use and very simple set up. I am purchasing a second steamer for home use. I'm sure there are better
steamers on the market, but at 149. I have had great success with the steamer and highly recommend.
Fantastic -- 2010-08-17
My clothing is mostly cotton, linen, silk, rayon, and untailored. Very little wool and no synthetics. I don't like pressed creases and like fabrics that are crinkled. When they're ironed, they don't look right. With this steamer I can take out the wrinkles and leave in the crinkles. As someone noted, it is fantastic for things I wouldn't have thought of ironing, like tee shirts. They look perfect in under a minute.
I also got the steamboard Jiffy 0892A Steamboard Vertical Garment Ironing Board and I'm hoping to be able to do my husband's shirts with that.
I find the best way to operate the machine, for the fabrics I have, is to open the garment and pass the steamer, facing me, from top to bottom on one side of the garment at a time, guiding the fabric above with my left hand.
Be careful because the hose gets hot; I have inadvertently touched it when repositioning my hand. I have gotten a couple of "oh, ouch" burns, and you should expect to when learning, but there is possibility for serious injury, namely: When steaming from the underside, especially pants and sleeves, be careful with the steam that will tent up inside. It dissipates almost instantly when it hits the air, but if you stick your hand in it before it does, you could get burned.
This steamer has changed the landscape of my closet and is well worth the price.
