Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer
Customer Review: Fantastic Steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
Used for professional use for Tommy Bahama steaming about 40 to 50 garments a day with mostly linen fabrics.
The pro trick: use a leather glove inside out to be able to put your hand inside garment to press the wand into the fabric. Otherwise it won't really steam that well.
Easy to fill bottle.
Extremely quick time to full steam.
Adjustable hanger is convenient
A little tippy if your pulling on the hose to much. (it happens)
gets wrinkles out of the hardest linen creases.
cotton fabrics are instant decreasing
no iron burn marks
very quick to from start to garment finish (ex. your late to work)
If you don't get a leather glove you will get only 10% of the effectiveness. simply waving the wand around the garment does little. plus you will burn yourself time and again. Trust me on this one.
Customer Review: Fantastic appliance! Love this steamer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not new to steaming. I have a very small house with small closets and lots of clothes. Consequently, closet wrinkles are an everyday problem for me and steaming has been a daily ritual. People who think that steaming will replace ironing are unrealistic, though, and negative reviews are unfair. Steaming is fabulous for woolens, knits, synthetics- basically fabrics that tend to hold their shapes. Natural fabrics such as silk, cotton, and linen- the bad wrinklers- tend to look best when they are smoothed out with an iron, so don't throw away the iron! Steaming is still great to refresh after closet wrinkles on the natural fibers.
This being said, I have used various steamers over the years. I had gone through about 3 travel steamers when I realized that I needed something more heavy duty (and one that held more water). My last steamer was that Conair portable home steamer, the one without the rack. I think that I paid $39 for it. It had a flimsy hose, was very difficult to remove the hose to refill (a major pain!), and the steam was intermittant, plus it "spit" (and spotted) just as badly as the travel steamers. I just figured that steamers just did that. After having it for about 4 years it finally burned out.
I shopped and studied the various home steamers that are available today. I promised myself that I would get a good one this time.
"You get what you pay for" I told myself...
When my Jiffy steamer arrived I was NOT disappointed! It was so substantial to look at, with a very heavy duty rubber hose. This thing would be able to handle some heat! It heated up quickly, just like previous reviews had said, and much faster than the old ones I had experienced. The best and most wonderful thing is that the steam comes out evenly and consistently with no spitting. It is a joy to use! This appliance has cut down my steaming time in half because of its constant even steam. Another thing that I love is that it is so easy to fill, much easier than any of my past steamers. After I bought it I ran into other steamers in stores while Christmas shopping. They all look flimsy by comparison.
This steamer is a joy to use and I highly recommend this product. Take it from a person very experienced in home steaming, this is THE ONE!
Customer Review: Fine Clothes Steamer
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm very pleased with this steamer. Assembled easily. Works well. Hose could be a bit longer for me but is a minor thing.
People who say they burned themselves with this did not take proper precautions. You have to know that steam is very hot. Steam goes through fabric so don't put your hands behind where you're steaming. Simple.
Customer Review: Good Quality product, but will not replace your everyday iron.

Although we are pleased with the overall quality of this item, please don't think that it will replace your iron, because it won't.Customer Review: Good deal for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this product for a retail business that has a small clothing department. It works well, but takes a lot of time and effort.
