Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Pro-Line Commercial Garment Steamer
Customer Review: Great Machine, worth every penny!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this machine. It's a gift from my husband, he says it's an wedding aniversary gift...of course I can't wear it on but it really helps with my aching shoulders. I have arthiris on my neck and shoulders and regular ironing cause me a lot of pain and discomfort. The assemble was very easy, and does not damp my clothes like another two steamer we had in the pass. The first one we had for a couple of years until star falling apart. My husband got me another one call Home Touch and did not last one year, the same thing broke right away. Then I decide we should invest a little more money and after I read all the reviews I decide for this one. It's quite, and I don't have to fill it every five minutes like the other two. My only complaint about this machine is the pole is too short, but nothing is perfect in this world. I really recommend this machine, it's worth every penny.Customer Review: Great Steamer

After reading some of the reviews on amazon, I decided to get this one. And I love it! It works great, and I really recommend it.Customer Review: Great Steamer
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product. The only drawback is that it takes roughly 20-30 minutes to warm up. It's not a device you can use right before work. It works great when I do have the time. I'm glad I purchased the more expensive commercial model because the I don't get some of the problems with dripping water as with some of the less powerful home devices. The one think you really need to be careful with the steam because it gets everywhere. I found a couple of oven mitts extremely helpful while steaming clothing. I agree this sounds rediculous but if anyway has a better suggestion, let me know.Customer Review: Great machine - worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
After much research - I decided on getting the best machine on the market!I just received my Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Pro-Line Series Garment Steamer a few days ago, and quite frankly, I'm amazed at its effectiveness!
First of all, assembling it was incredibly simple - took no more than 5 minutes. The machine comes with no more than 4-5 pieces to put together, and a wrench is included for free (so no extra personal tools needed). It comes on casters for easily mobility. It doesn't take much storage space (20 inches wide - 10 inch depth).
It has 3 settings: Off, Preheat and Steam, so there is no complication. Also, it has automatic shut-off - and the best part: if you're planning to use it throughout the day, you can leave it on preheat to conserve water! Just switch to steam when ready and you're ready to steam immediately!
Once assembled, you pour no more than 4 quarts of water (tap water or distilled water is fine) into the machine (while it's off), then turn on, switch the setting to "pre-heat", then wait about 15 minutes. You know it's ready to be switched to "steam" when the indicator light starts blinking on and off. You then switch to steam and wait about 2 minutes for the steam to start. Then you're ready to go (and go and go - this machine is capable of over 1.5 hours of steam time!)
Steaming the clothes is very simple. As you go along, you'll find that some fabrics steam much easier than others, and you'll learn different methods of steaming different types of fabric. Some fabrics do perfectly steaming from the outside - some lend themselves better to the steaming process if you steam from the INSIDE of the garment. Other fabrics take longer to steam, others take only a few minutes. But in all cases - hold the fabric taut with one hand while steaming - helps remove the wrinkles faster!
Just make sure you keep the steamhead in an upright position when steaming so the condensation can go back into the machine - if you don't do this - you'll hear a lot of sputtering. To stop the sputter, just place the steam head on its storage hanger and it will stop immediately!
In addition to removing wrinkles, this steamer helps remove smells from fabric!
The only "shortcoming" about this machine is that steaming long dresses is cumbersome (but not impossible). The steamer stands approx. 5 feet tall (I'm 5'2) - however, long garments/dresses call for you to get on your knees or sit down on the floor or chair to steam comfortably. However, if you're sitting on the floor, after several minutes of steaming, you start to hear sputtering and then you have to stop and place steamhead upright again. But the height might be industry standard. However, so much good outweighs this small inconvenience, that I would be willing to LAY DOWN on the floor to steam dresses!
In summary, I recommend this machine 100%. Don't settle for cheapies - in the long run they may cost you more to own than this "workhorse"!
Customer Review: Great product, but if you're the average consumer...
Summary: 5 Stars
save yourself some time and hassle. Don't buy this jiffy. Buy the one for the average household user. This one does take a long time to steam clothes.
It works great. I just wish I had bought the commercial grade one.
