Tools and Hardware Reviews of Conair GS4R Compact Fabric Steamer
Customer Review: Awesome but be careful!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this yesterday and I am happy that I did. I was looking for a quick way to take those dang wrinkles out of my husband's and my clothes. I really don't have the time to iron all our clothes so this was an investment for me. I took this little device for a test drive yesterday night and all was well except when it started spewing out water. I did not over fill it, rather it started spewing when it got to the "refill" line. I put a thin cloth over the steamer and tied it so it won't spew water on the clothes. Over all, the machine works fine and it is definitely worth the price.Customer Review: Awesome! The perfect steamer at the perfect price!

I spent several months researching garment steamers and could not decide which one I wanted - price vs. quality and which brand was best etc. So I decided to buy an inexpensive one and see if I liked it. Well... I love it and I'm so happy I didn't spend $200 on one either!
I took my 20% off coupon to Linens and Things and was able to compare several models side by side and CAUTION!!! the much more expensive Sharper Image model is the EXACT same as this one just a different color! As far as I could tell, this table top model was the same as the pro models but without the extension pole and with a smaller water tank - I mean, how long are you going to be steaming anyway?
When I got it home, it was easy to assemble - just stick the hose in, fill it up with water and turn it on. It took a few minutes - actually I realized I hadn't been paying attention and filled it way past the max fill line - ooops - but it still never overflowed or leaked. As soon as the water started boiling, it began to put out a lot of very hot steam. I was a bit worried that the hose was too stiff but once the steam started flowing, it became very flexible.
For all the people that did not like the short poles on the more expensive models, the over the door hanger was perfect. The steam handle hangs on it and it is a much better design for long pants or dresses.
I steamed a pair of curtains, a bed skirt, my comforter (still on the bed), a shower curtain, and a pilgrim outfit. I ran the steamer for about 30 min. and when I stopped, the water level had just made it down to the max line. My biggest problem was that I ran out of things to steam! I was having so much fun watching the wrinkles disappear from all my stuff!! I did steam my hand once or twice at first but I quickly figured out how to stop doing that!
I got this steamer for just under $25 and I couldn't be happier!
Customer Review: BEWARE ... SLOW WARMUP TIME
Summary: 1 Stars
I read all the rave reviews here and bought one of these with confidence .. BUT was most disappointed .. the warmup time is a full 8 min and then you only have limited steaming time. But worse than all that is that you have to remove the hose to fill the base with water and it's all made of plastic .. hard to open and easy to break. I'm returning mine and going to try the mid priced Conair Ionic one .. hoping for faster warm up time and a sturdier unit.Customer Review: Beautiful bedding!

Conair GS4 Compact Fabric Steamer
Steamed a newly purchased duvet and sham, moire fabric, in a matter of minutes. Didn't even use a full tank of water. Seems well made. Better than expected!
Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little nervous after reading the other reviews. I bought this because my children had several special occasions for which I would need to have dresses steamed. I have used it twice so far and have been very pleasantly surprised. It did take a long time - the dress was a prom dress with 3 layers, but it ended up looking beautiful.
