Tools and Hardware Reviews of SteamFast SF-407 1500-Watt Fabric Steamer
Customer Review: Didn't work as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
I had really high hopes for this item, imaging a world where I never had to iron work shirts and pants again. My hopes were quickly dashed, however, the first few times I used this product. If I ironed a "wrinkle-free" shirt that was slightly imperfect, the steaming made it look a little nicer. Not crisp like an iron, but presentable. Non-"wrinkle-free" shirts, on the other hand, were completely unwearable after steaming. An iron was still in order.
I also had a hard time making creases. The product comes with a creasing pad, but it was awkward to use and I kept burning myself. Perhaps with practice this could have gotten easier, but after several small burns I didn't want to try anymore.
I am returning this item and going back to the drawing... or shall we say ironing... board.
Oh yes, and this item did not arrive as pictured. It's very similar, not anything I'd return the item over, just a comment.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I read all of the raves here and decided to purchase this steamer for my dress shirts. I don't have curtains or any other fabrics to steam so I can't comment on this steamer's performance in those areas.
Pros: Does heat up quickly, in around 30 seconds or less. Takes up less space than a fold out ironing board.
Cons: Needs distilled water. Does not do a good job removing wrinkles from my men's dress shirts that I hang dry. I had to make multiple passes with the steamer to even have a noticeable affect on some wrinkles. Other wrinkles would not come out no matter how long I steamed them, while also pulling on the fabric. If you're looking for something to give your shirts that crisp, sharp look from ironing and dry cleaning, this won't do it (At least it didn't for me).
Customer Review: Disppointed and returned for refund
Summary: 1 Stars
The item arrived with a damaged coupling. Checked it and found that the coupling for connecting the hose to boiler is very weak, Definitely it is a defective design on the materials. Cannot use it and spent time to return it. I purchased a Conair GS7 fabric steamer with slightly lower price, it works as I expected.Customer Review: Does a great job!
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave my hand held steamer to my daughter. Decided I needed something 'stronger'. This product is a solid steamer; heats up very quickly. Only negative - the hose is only 5 feet which can limit usage if steaming curtains, or anything hung more than six-feet.Customer Review: Does the job BUT...
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, as soon as I got the item by mail I tried it on my three dresses. What I didn't like right away was that the handle gets hot within my second dress. But I was thinking maybe that happened because I was using it for too long due to my first time. (And I always couldn't really touch anything hot when my mom or my friends wouldn't even feel anything on their fingertips.) So this one is so so.
The overall opinion that it takes time to get use to it. I burn myself every time I am using it and I have the steamer for about a month now. Also, I think this steamer is affordable therefore it is not as strong as more expensive one. So it takes me forever to get my bf's shirt done. With all the burns I don't really want to use it that much. Only if there is hard to reach places with the iron on my dress. So I wouldn't throw away the board and iron.
Basically it does the job but very slow and it takes very long to get use to it. But that might be just me.
