ESTEAM Personal Hand Held Steamer, 120 Volt,Black

We have owned three of these gems over the past 10 years. We like to have an extra to take when I travel away from home and one for the family to keep.I am a public speaker and travel often. There are weeks when I need to steam five or more times to get ready for an engagement. Often my family is with me and the steamer gets well used. It has saved me hours of time not having to iron suits and it has saved me hundreds of dollars not having to take our things to cleaners as often. Works excellent on business suits and is great for a quick touch up on dress shirts that have been worn once or twice.The steam it creates comes out in good volume and lasts long enough to do several items of clothing.After hard use the "locking" notches on the plastic housing and lid begin to wear and the lid will not seat tightly. This will cause some leaking when the item ages. I think we had our first one for about four or five years before we decided to replace it.I would recommend buying the liquid cleaner to get the deposits off of the heating element every so often. The directions only say to leave the liquid in for 2 hours but we needed to leave it in over night. It works great.I have bought this as a gift for others and highly recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Jiffy ESTEAM, the first steamer I've ever purchased, was made in the USA! Despite having a smaller reservoir, the compact size makes it easier to store than full-size/pro steamers. As a travel steamer, it won't fit in my garment bag and might be pushing it in less than the largest carry-on.After filling with reverse osmosis purified water and plugging it in for the first time (my thought was less calcium scale buildup) the little Jiffy started steaming in 2-3 minutes. I used a clothes brush to remove dust and lint, then proceeded to steam 7 sport coats and 6 pairs of slacks. It works great on wool, smoothing out wrinkles with minimal effort. I wasn't able to get 100% of the wrinkles out of linen, but I saw such a marked improvement that I know I can wear linen garments more frequently now. I refilled the reservoir about 4 times and the whole exercise took me a little over an hour. To me, this is much safer and easier than ironing as I don't have to worry about damaging the fabric or creating creases where they were never intended.I'm confident that the combination of this steamer and a good clothes brush means I won't need to take my suits or slacks to the dry cleaners as often. I'm very satisfied, as getting this much stuff dry cleaned costs me almost $100! Highly recommended.

This is bar-none the best travel steamer on the market. I like it so much I'm on my second one (I used the first one overseas and broke it - btw that's a bad idea, make sure you get a voltage converter!). I travel nearly constantly and have used many different models of travel steamers. Most of them break after 6 months to a year of use. As far as I can tell this one works pretty much indefinitely (unless you do something stupid like plug it in to a 240 volt plug in India like I did). The box it comes in is hilarious - straight out of the 1970's or something. You can tell its one of those "if it's not broken don't fix it" products, like Kirby vacuums. Nothing fancy here - it boils water which creates steam. That's it and as far as I'm concerned that's perfect. I can steam my clothes for the next day in 5 minutes or less. I absolutely hate irons and ironing boards. One pass with the Esteam and my clothes look completely unwrinkled. So, go ahead and bite the bullet and invest in this product. It's more than other travel steamers but you get what you pay for and this product is absolutely worth every penny.

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.
