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.

I have been using this Jiffy travel steamer for over 20 years. It's the best as I have tried others in the past. What I don't like is that no matter how frequently or often you use it, eventually it will fail and you'll end up having to purchase a new one. I must have purchased five in all these years. Twice the heating element blew and it started smoking and my latest episode is that the boiling water was overflowing out of the canister and water was everywhere all over the floor every time I steamed my clothing. My first steamer stopped working when I checked my steamer in my suitcase one year, which I will never do that again as the banging of the bag caused it to stop working. I now pack it in my carry on. I take care of my steamer for it to last, but eventually the unit just gets old and it's time to order a new one. I even contacted Jiffy to see if I could send it in for repair and they advised against it. It's not too cheap, but I do get my money's worth. I have recommended this to so many people and wished I could have gotten a commission on the steamers I've sold for Jiffy! You won't be disappointed in the steaming capabilities, but it's a bummer when you have to invest another $75 for another unit when your current one has seen its last days.

No complaint. Works as intended and it is made in USA. Took this traveling a couple times over the years and kept my clothes looking clean. Don't use hard water or there will be build up inside.

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.

I purchased this years ago and I still use it today, mostly by my mother, but she has had no complaints. Love it!

I bought two of these in the past five years and both of them ended up leaking. Definitely better steamers out there. Does heat up quickly and do a good job, but always leaks.

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.
