ESTEAM Personal Hand Held Steamer, 120 Volt,Black

I bought this steamer to replace the previous Esteam steamer I had for over ten years. I originally bought this steamer because of the great reviews it had received many years ago. I can tell you that this steamer hasn't changed one bit over all this time. It's still great in every respect! The plastic feels super strong and durable and it heats up within a couple of minutes. Even though it says you can use tap water, I only use distilled water to avoid mineral stains on the clothes and damage to the steamer. Keep in mind that this is a compact travel steamer, so it doesn't disperse steam over a wide area like the Esteam larger models. Even though I don't use it for travel, It is more than sufficient for the volume of clothes I am steaming at one time. Generally speaking, I am steaming about three men's sport coats at a time, so one filling of water will usually get me through all three garments. What I like about the small size is that I don't have to wait long for the steam to be produced, especially when I have to refill due to additional garments. Steaming is a great way to sterilize clothes from moths and their eggs, which is why I have been steaming all the thrifted wool garments I purchase as well. I haven't used any other brands to give a comparison, but I never felt the need to purchase anything else. I can only say that the Esteam steamer feels more solid when compared to other units I looked at in the store. I would definitely recommend this product.

Favorite hand held steamer ever. I have tried many of these and this one was immediately the best for size, look, quality, ease of use, and best working steamer I’ve used. It doesn’t spit a bunch of water out, works well and quickly, easy to hold and use inside and outside of clothing, bedding, drapes and anything else you want to smooth wrinkles from. I don’t even own an iron anymore! This is a must have item.

Ordered this to take with us to a destination wedding in 2 weeks. Have been reading reviews for over a month. I received my steamer yesterday and opened it immediately. It says it used tap water. Easy! Awesome! Water heats up and starts boiling in 65 seconds. I timed it. As soon as it starts boiling, it's ready to get the wrinkles out. No kidding. I was like WOW! This really works. It's light weight. So easy to use! Took less than 5 mins (probably will be less time as I get used to using a steamer) to steam my cotton button down shirt. I love this. I'll send an updated review as time goes on.

tld;dr Ugly as sin, but works better and faster than bigger reservoir-based steamers. I'm lazy. I can rarely be bothered to get to the basement to get the clothes out of the dryer right as the cycle finished, nor can I be bothered to iron. As a youngish-professional however, I need to not show up to work looking like I just rolled out of bed (which I often have, to be honest). To combat my sloth-ish tendencies, my wife bought be a standing steamer from the thrift store a few years back. It quickly became an indispensable part of my work-prep workflow. Shower, steam, breakfast, car. I was heartbroken about a week about when my standing steamer gave up the ghost, especially since I had a basket full of wrinkled clothes and work the next morning (Protip: Downy Wrinkle Releaser is your friend. Know it, love it) I needed a new steamer and decided to get a portable one as the standing steamer took up too much space in my home office and also ended up with moldy water as I am also too lazy to drain the steamer after each use. I read several reviews and the Jiffy ESTEAM was the model that seems like the best best. The ESTEAM arrived a few days later. As the pictures and reviews had suggested, this thing is not attractive. It looks like the child of East German designers. It however works like a charm. It heats quickly and puts out strong gusts of steam that immediately eliminate wrinkles, and does this without any water sputter like my old standing steamer did. The design is dead simple - it's basically a plug-in tea kettle with four holes in the top to release steam. Because it is so simple, I anticipate having far fewer problems with it than I did my standing steamer. It is not large, but also not small, so while I am sure it will travel with me for both business and pleasure, it will also take up more room in my luggage than other handheld steamers. I am pleased; the ESTEAM is almost perfect. 1 star deduction for the Soviet-inspired design and the size. If you're mainly using this at home, it is a sure bet.

If I'm packing clothes to go anywhere, my travel steamer comes too. I have the Jiffy full-size steamer at home (which I purchased after seeing the brand in dressing rooms of several of my favorite stores), and was anxious to see if the hand held one delivered the same great results. It works perfectly for getting clothes ready to wear after they have been inside luggage and makes it possible to skip the tremendous hassle of ironing or using a costly hotel pressing service. The steamer starts working very quickly upon filling it up and plugging it in (it's ready to use within 90 seconds.) It's powerful and doesn't require several movements over one area to remove wrinkles. Just to keep your expectations in check, this travel model doesn't necessarily replace a full ironing or pressing job. I always steam clothes fully before packing them, and use the travel steamer for wrinkled "spot treatments" after unpacking. The part that emits the steam is not very wide, so doing a whole outfit takes some time. Also, it doesn't hold a whole lot of water, so you may have to refill before you're done (I can usually do 3-5 pieces before needing a refill.) Additionally, I've had a few mishaps where my steamer has "coughed" water and left a big wet spot because you do have to hold it upright at all times. And the only minor inconvenience is that it does not have an on/off switch and is powered by the plug only. This is a very solid investment which takes up about the same amount of space as a hair dryer. It is perfect for long or short trips.

Ausländischer Stecker. Billige Ausführung

This steamer might take 2 minutes to heat up, but it's highly effective and worth the wait. It also takes time to cool down, so you need to plan ahead when you use this. It's highly effective on light-weight materials like silk, thin polyester, and light jersey cottons. However, with dress pants and jeans, I needed to spend more time with it. Not a problem, as it is not meant to be a steamer that is used in factories or dry cleaners. It's for personal use, and does a great job at it. Highly recommend it.

I used to have a large Rowenta for steaming suits and dress pants (and my wife's dresses/blouses as needed) and bought the ESTEAM for travel. But when I started having trouble with the Rowenta steamer, I started using the ESTEAM all the time...and it is still going 10 years later. I bought this one for my daughter and her husband and will replace mine when it finally gives up.

Esta bien el producto pero es un poco pesado para llevarse a cualquier lado

This is my second return, both times I received a used product the box was in bad shape and the steamer had wear and tear. I cannot review the product itself as I haven't used it and had to return it immediately. It's not right to spend full price on a used item.
