3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting alternative, January 30, 2003
This review is from: Sunbeam Garment Steamer (Kitchen)
If you don't have a dryer and a wet washcloth handy, you don't want to pull our the iron, and you've only got a few wrinkles to remove, this will do the job.

The first shirt I tried to steam was a button down cotton-poly blend. After hanging it from a metal hanger over a towel on a towel rack, I started steaming it carefully, pulling it taut as instructed, running the steamer over it slowly, and releasing steam in 2-second spurts.

It worked well enough; I might have gotten a better result by tossing it in the dryer (new shirt, never done much with it), or not. Traditional Ironing would have given me a crisper result. But if you can't iron and you don't have a dryer, this made it passable. Otherwise send for a valet or drycleaning, or learn how to iron.

The second shirt was a partially pre-crinkled shirt. I repeated the set up with a metal hanger and towel (so I didn't steam the wall, or in this case, the shower curtain). I pulled the fabric tight and started steaming. However, this stretched it out of shape; I had better success pulling it horizontally taut while steaming vertically.

It seemed not great on collars, over all, while the shirts were in a hanging position. If you need to work on a collar, you're better off doing it first (just as if you were ironing it) by balling a towel in its neck to help retain the shape before attacking the rest of the garment.

For denim pants, it worked well enough. Not quite well enough to completely remove the wrinkles from a day's wearining, but enough to freshen them a bit. I don't have any suits or jackets to test it on at this point, but I imagine it will do the job of getting travel wrinkles out of otherwise neat clothing.

If you're envisioning a quick solution to ironing problems, this isn't it. It's good for spot steaming and those times when you've no other alternatives.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T EVEN BOTHER!!!!!, December 5, 2003

This thing is a joke! I have given it multiple chances during my travels, but it just flat out doesn't work. It barely produces enough steam to put a good fog on the mirror, much less to penetrate your clothes. You are better off hanging your clothes in the hotel bathroom, turning the hot shower on, and closing the door. I found that it creates enough steam to really take out a lot of wrinkles, the downside is you end up wasting a lot of water!

This review is from: Sunbeam Garment Steamer (Kitchen)
I owned one of these for 4 years; it was awesome but I misplaced it during a move. I bought another one that I used regularly for 6 years (I HATE IRONING); a piece on it finally broke after years of use and so I'm about to get another one. I'm going with the same model-- the Sunbeam. And A'zon has the best price on it!

It takes seconds to fill-- just pull off the handle, pop the top, and fill with water until full. Then plug it in.

Within seriously about THIRTY SECONDS, it's ready to go. Push the "shot of steam" button, and the thing gives you just that... a shot of steam. A few of those, and your wrinkles are gone. Sure, things like heavy cottons may take a few passes, but this thing still does the trick.

Yes, an iron will always give a more "perfect" job, but this one will give you results that are just as good!
