Hello - I am in no way related to the SteamFast company. I have owned two other travel/compact steamers:

Jiffy, which makes a very good steamer as well, however, it is more than twice the money and, although I had their compact steamer for at least six years, I didn't use it very much (as I had their industrial steamer) and recently the heater unit on it broke. So I'm not sure that their quality is so good unless I got a lemon. Additionally, the Jiffy model is slightly larger than the SteamFast model. (Note: This SteamFast is not dual voltage, just 120v only. Jiffy has a dual voltage steamer that works well too.)

The other model I used was a Franzus and the only thing better about this one was it's size. As a steamer it doesn't perform well at all.

The SteamFast Compact Fabric Steamer SF-435W does a very good job (just as good as Jiffy, if not better) at steaming out wrinkles - it has more steaming holes than Jiffy - (though if you want a super crisp look nothing replaces an iron), it's price is great for the quality, and it's a bit smaller than the Jiffy. I'd like to see them make this unit at least a couple of inches smaller but it's still a great unit. In my opinion, this unit can be used at home (especially since home units are much more expensive and take up a lot of room) or for traveling. A very good product. I highly recommend it. (I also recommend using distilled or purified water in clothes steamers whenever possible as it will extend the life of the unit.) Tip: Use an oven mitt when steaming garments - this allows one to put a hand under the garment while steaming for a better result. Other tip: Stretch fabric tightly while steaming for the best results. You can also steam things like hats that have gotten bent (may help further to give straw hats a light water spray beforehand) or suede and leather that has creased though take special care to use the steamer only in short bursts or you may damage the leather/suede.

I'm giving this steamer 4 stars instead of 5 only because I've yet to find a better travel steamer, however, there is some room for improvement on performance though it works quite well for traveling and saves on pressing bills at hotels, and, of course, the convenience.

I had read pretty much all the reviews of several steamers before purchasing this one. I was tempted to buy the Jiffy but couldn't justify the $44 price tag as I'm not a frequent traveller and was only looking for a steamer to help me get through my pile of ironing quicker. I agree with other reviews - do not overfill the tank. I found that it still spit a small bit, but the fabric I was steaming was not delicate and the spots dried without a trace. It worked great on light cotton, denim and knits. Struggled a bit on the heavier cotton/twill pants but still got most of the wrinkles out. After I got the hang of it I found that I averaged 3 - 4 cotton shirts in one tankful of water. The instructions recommend using distilled water. Overall, I'm pleased. As another reviewer commented, nothing beats the crispness of an iron, but if you're not looking for crisp and just want to look neat and unwrinkled this is a great product.

We purchased the SteamFast steamer for work to steam out heavey creases on fabric tradeshow banners. Voila! It works great with a little time and effort. Make sure that you don't fill the reservoir completely to the MAX fill line, as you need to give it a little "boiling" room. Highly recommended.
