It just spews water in the vapor all the time, it just gets collected in the nozzle holes and drips down on your fabric, even if you put very little water in it. Also leaves stain no matter what type of water you use, distilled, drinking, ect. And it does in no way compare to and iron, there is not crispness to it. Just a product that has not been fully designed to work properly. I would not recommend it to anyone or ever buy one of these again.

I had read pretty much all the reviews of several steamers before purchasing this one. I was tempted to buy the Jiffy but couldn't justify the $44 price tag as I'm not a frequent traveller and was only looking for a steamer to help me get through my pile of ironing quicker. I agree with other reviews - do not overfill the tank. I found that it still spit a small bit, but the fabric I was steaming was not delicate and the spots dried without a trace. It worked great on light cotton, denim and knits. Struggled a bit on the heavier cotton/twill pants but still got most of the wrinkles out. After I got the hang of it I found that I averaged 3 - 4 cotton shirts in one tankful of water. The instructions recommend using distilled water. Overall, I'm pleased. As another reviewer commented, nothing beats the crispness of an iron, but if you're not looking for crisp and just want to look neat and unwrinkled this is a great product.

We purchased the SteamFast steamer for work to steam out heavey creases on fabric tradeshow banners. Voila! It works great with a little time and effort. Make sure that you don't fill the reservoir completely to the MAX fill line, as you need to give it a little "boiling" room. Highly recommended.
