This review is from: Sunbeam S1500 1500-Watt Classic Garment Steamer (Misc.)
Just started using this, selected Sunbeam 'cuz I've had luck with other sunbeam products. Steam starts up in about ten seconds. EXCELLENT. The pole isn't tall enough, though. Not so excellent. This has been reported by other customers on other steamers, I guess it's a common complaint. I work full-time, need to wear business dress daily; generally some type of skirt or trouser with a blouse/sweater and a casual suitjacket. I HATE spending money on sending wool-blend items to the dry cleaners... or sending linen-blend lined jackets to the dry cleaners. Now I wash them on delicate cycle, tumble dry for two or three minutes (yes, even the wool items) and then hang dry. I use the steamer to get wrinkles out of the dry garment after this. It works really well, better than trying to navigate sleeves, linings, collars, with a steam iron. Tips from another user were great... use wooden clothespins to hold the garment tight, use a cheap plastic cutting board behind the garment to steam hems, use a paper towel roll in sleeves while steaming. Boy, that was great advice. The steamer is easier for me than my iron, it is easier on my back. Some users report getting a mineral buildup in their units, I don't know if that will happen with this one (we are on well water, not municipal.)

Great Steamer,

This review is from: Sunbeam S1500 1500-Watt Classic Garment Steamer (Misc.)
I've had this steamer for a little over a month. It's working great.
CLEANING TIP: The instructions say that if you use tap water, to clean the steamer out by using a vinegar and water mixture every so often. I tried this once and it took a while to get that vinegar smell to go away. Use a couple tablespoons of bleach with water instead. Rinse out the water reservoir. Use about 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of bleach and let the steamer run for about 10 minutes. Drain the reservoir and the main unit and wipe it clean with a paper towel. TECHNIQUE TIP: It would be smart to invest in a high temperature glove. I know there are times when I almost burn myself with the steam. I found using a glove on one hand makes it much easier than trying to pin the clothes down.

This review is from: Sunbeam S1500 1500-Watt Classic Garment Steamer (Misc.)
I have owned several different types and brands of steamers over the last 15 years. I use them for garments and occasionally to steam drapes after they have been cleaned and hung. The Sunbeam Supreme Garment Steamer not only puts out an adequate amount of steam thanks to the 1500 watts of power, but is versatile as well. The included attachments are very accomodating. The suit hanger can be used for any type of shirt, jacket, vest, ,etc. The adjustable upper and lower clips allow you to securely hold any garment including pants, skirts, shorts, etc. while you steam out the wrinkles. The different steam head attachments give versatility for different types of fabric and finishes. The telescoping pole is great for compact storage. The water bottle is easy to fill and change. The steam hose insulation is thin but does a great job keeping the heat inside the hose instead of burning your hand. I don't know about the long term durability of this unit as I have only had it for less than 6 months, but it appears to be a quality made product.
