Just unpacked the new Conair GS16 Steamer and followed directions to "push up on the soleplate cover" to remove. The flimsy plastic "push up" button broke right off. This cheap product meets the definition of cheap. Time to return it is more costly than the the thirty dollars cost. There is simply no way that this product will not break when directions are followed.

The product itself is great, but that flimsy attachment broke right off for me too. I am so angry that I taking it right back to the store.

Works okay (not great but is not ergonomic and heavy leading to wrist fatigue quickly. I got it for $9 on closeout so can't really complain but wouldn't recommend it even at that price.

This is too small to be anything other than a hand steamer for wrinkled clothes when one is traveling. At that, it spits out water when it's heated. It should be advertised with that limit on it. It is much too small to use over straight fabrics like bedspreads, linen, bedskirts, which is why I purchased it. I wish I had not purchased it. Deluxe Fabric Steamer it is not.

I was very disappointed with this iron. It does not hold enough water to steam more than a few square inches of fabric. It took an hour to do one shirt, and it was still wrinkled. The water tank holds so little that it must be refilled every 2 or 3 minutes. I would have returned it, but was traveling. I just use it now as an iron, and would rather have had a regular shaped iron, which would do a better job of ironing. Forget it as a steamer. Total waste of money. Hate it.

I have not used the iron part yet, however the steam is good, I would just like it better if it was more powerful, however it did a good job, and for the price, it is a value. I still however use the shower to get most wrinkels out.

I had low expectations for this product considering I got it for $29.99 on another website, unfortunately it did not even remove any wrinkles on a light weight cotton shirt. Difficult to keep button depressed for a constant flow of steam. Definitely does not make any creases. This handheld is effective as straightening out a shirt with your own hands. As others stated, returning was as too costly and not worth the time. Wish I had read these reviews on Amazon prior purchasing.

I bought my Conair Hand Steamer a short while ago. At first, it worked great. I used it about 20 times over the course of a few months and then it completely stopped working! The motor did not pump the water from the reservoir to the iron. It is a piece of crap! Furthermore, I contacted the company via email and got no answer...not even a recognition of receiving my complaint. Lousy product and lousy customer service. I do not recommend wasting your $$$ on this steamer. Save your money and buy something that will work more than 20 times!
