Reliable Vivio 500GC Garment Steamer - PVC Steam Head and Easy Roll Wheels, Garment Steamer with Removable Hanger, 1 Gallon Water Capacity, 1300W Brass Elements with Auto Shut Off and 63" Long Hose

We do alot of steaming of professional dance clothes, also for our own wardrobe.I cant complain, cept its expensive. But it has brass connections, spring on the end to prevent kinking... Steam is constantly strong and powerful... Please use only distilled water.. regular water works but it can create mineral deposits on the coil after many years and make it less effective.It is definitely pro grade. Get the metal head, for 20 bucks extra worth it. It stays very hot while you steam.It doesn't cut in and out.The only bad thing is i wish the handle holder was a little deeper. Its secure on the rack, but if they just made it a little deeper it would hold 100 secure.. right now its 95% .. im just a perfectionist.UPDATE.. the chord was just stiff after shipment. After I ran it the chord took better form and it slides perfectly in the holder now, instead of leaning to the left while hanging.I also saw some famous costume designer on you tube, the one who makes indiana jones hats and various movie props using it.I can see why its 240 bucks.Sure you can get a ok one for 100... Alot of sites recommend good ones... But after doing real research this one is going to be my daily steamer for the next 5 years.

The grips used to hold up the clothes while ironing are horrible. They keep coming off the clothes and it's annoying. I am trying to figure out a way to swap them for those from my old steamer.Other than that, I like the strength of the steam and it's better than my old one.

I finally got a garment steamer because ironing had become my least favorite chore. I do a lot of it maintaining my flight attendant uniforms as well as the rest of my clothing. Some of the steamers online looked a little flimsy to me so I decided to get one I thought would last and am so glad I did. The Vivio from Reliable does an amazing job of getting the wrinkles out quickly. Now it only takes 30 minutes to do what used to take me nearly 2 hours.It arrived 3 days after purchase, was easy to assemble (according to my husband), heats up fast, and moves easily from closet to laundry room. This is a sturdy, commercial grade steamer and now I wish I'd gotten it a long time ago.

My second time buying this steamer because it works GREAT- when it works- which is apparently for only about a year before it breaks. I've contacted the manufacturer directly and they sent me a replacement switch for the first one, which was not easy to install AT ALL and did not solve the problem. So they charged me shipping to send the base unit to the repair center which was returned to me 2 months later even more damaged with cracks everywhere. They refused to refund it because it was considered part of the hazards of shipping. SO, I ordered the newer model, which they assured me would operate, and I have had it for just over 1 year and now it will not turn on at all. Yes, I have tried troubleshooting and reaching out to the manufacturer. Couldn't be more disappointed.

This may be a little bulky but it is sturdy, it is professional grade, it is a little more expensive than other steamers but you get what you pay for. This is worth the investment, it has a very sturdy place to hang garments on a aluminum alloy hanger. It h as a big water reservoir so you don't have to keep stopping to refill. Mrs is happy with it, which means I'm happy with it, a definite win.

This steamer worked great the first times we used it and then it began to sputter scalding water. One dress got ruined! It is hard to get consistent results from it.

I like that it heats up quickly and that it steams quickly. It has a hanger right on it so it is very easy to steam shirts, dresses and pants.

The handle and hose are so hot that you need oven mits to use it
