Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
While a steam iron eliminates fabric wrinkles and creases with great efficacy, the impact of a heavy soleplate will not do for some delicate and vintage pieces. For such ironing conundrums, Rowenta offers this professional upright steamer. The 1500-watt steamer gently smoothes wrinkles away without the stiffness left by a conventional iron's soleplate.
The detachable 1-gallon water tank reaches its steaming temperature in approximately 90 seconds. With a full tank, the appliance produces steam for 2-1/2 hours. The user applies pressure to the foot pedal to engage and control steam output. An indicator light on the pedal informs its readiness for use. Steam travels through a 5-foot insulated hose, which removes for stowing. Though the user can monitor water levels through the tank's transparent construction, the steamer arrests power when the tank becomes dry to prevent damage to the appliance or power waste. The steamer also turns off automatically if left idle for prolonged periods of time for extra security. An aluminum hanger pole snaps onto the steamer body, extending the steamer to 5 feet high. The hanger supports clothes as they are steamed and swivels for quick garment steaming, front to back. In addition to the extra wide steaming head, Rowenta includes both fabric and upholstery attachments, as well as a lint brush for enhanced care. The power cord spans 9 feet and stores around a provided bar. The steamer travels on four wheels with casters and a carrying handle. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. This item benefits from a one-year limited warranty. Without the hanger pole attached, the steamer measures 19-2/3 by 15-4/5 by 13 inches and weighs 18 pounds upon shipping.

Great Looks; Poor Craftsmanship,
By
This review is from: Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer (Kitchen)
I'll make it simple: If you are looking for a home-edition garment steamer, your top 2 choices in the marketplace will likely be the Jiffy 2000 and the Rowenta 8100.
I tested both for 10 hours; on a 1 to 10 scale: Jiffy (Looks = 6; Engineering = 10; handling = 9; craftsmanship = 10). It looks like a mop bucket on wheels but it performs like a jet engine; every part of this machine from the plate at the bottom of the unit to the steam handle is built for rugged usage. Rowenta (Looks = 10; Engineering = 5; Handling = 7; crafsmanship = 4). It looks like a UFO but performs like a Pinto with much less steaming power; it is built as a toddler's toy having most parts made with inexpensive plastic including the watertank base and valve: pull the machine a single foot OR tilt it a mere 1 inch and you will experience a slow-building cascade. Buy the Rowenta 8100 as a decorative piece to make your closet look good. Buy the Jiffy 2000 as a garment steamer to make your clothes look good.

Farily good product, but not durable,
By
This review is from: Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer (Kitchen)
I received an IS 8100 steamer as a gift. Now, nine months later, the steam head has come apart. It just fell apart. It appears that daily use (four or five days a week) may have been too much for this "commercial" product. I'm trying to obtain a replacement part from Rowenta now. I'll update my review once I get a final answer from their customer service department.
When the product is working, it works pretty well. I use it on wool suits, and it removes wrinkles quickly. However, without the steam head, this is useless for me.

Water tank faulty,
By
This review is from: Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer (Kitchen)
I enjoyed how this product worked at first. The steam was powerful. The machine looked great. However, the water tank design is cheap. The lid did not stay on the tank well ever. I had enough when the lid slipped off spilling a gallon of water on my hardwood floors. I will look at Jiffy steamers which might be worth the extra $ for real professional quality.
