Tools and Hardware Reviews of SteamFast SP-660 Table Top Steam Press
Customer Review: Good in principle
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all the item is too small. it is about 1/3 the lenght of a pair pants and 1/3 as wide. So as you can see it is pretty small. So it is a lot of moving around and adjusting which causes previously ironed parts to become wrinkled again.
It does not make life easier. good in principle but does not work.
Customer Review: Great Machine

This iron works well sitting on my oversized ironing board. Great for sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, etc.Customer Review: It is a new process - but works great
Summary: 4 Stars
I learned how to iron in the Army, putting creases on my uniforms each Sunday night before I go to work. And I was pretty good at it. But I always thought there had to be a better way. This is a great product and I imagine as an appliance, one is probably comparable to the other, the difference being price and features.
The trick, and perhaps the reason for some negative reviews is that folks seem to expect it to be similar to hand ironing. It is not. You need to develop a new process, tackle your clothes differently. I suggest three things:
1. Think in big chunks. Remember the hand iron is small and most of us who can iron think in small areas. This appliance will tackle much bigger areas. And it will iron both sides at once - don't stress yourself about flipping things over - spend time instead on smoothing out the wrinkles and then simply drop the handle, hit a bolt or two of steam. Be patient, the skills will come.
2. Let it warm up - I plug it in, turn it on and putter a bit, gathering laundry and prepping my clothes. I set it up on my old ironing board and then simply lower it down so I can sit at the couch and iron while watching the evening news.
3. Practice, practice, practice. If you have a garment that absolutely must be ironed perfectly for a meeting in an hour - and you have never used this press before - then you will be disappointed. I suggest practice placing items on it while it is unplugged and cold - you will quickly get the hang of it. When first trying it out, iron a few old shirts, pants or dresses to get the hang of it. Then jump in. In a few short attempts at ironing you will quickly master the new skill and find that indeed ironing is no longer a task that lasts hours and hours.
I can get a week's work of ironing in just a little over an hour and now I can put a nice starched shirt on and grab a pair of creased pants for my corporate executive job - and I don't pay the dry cleaner to do it anymore.
Customer Review: It would be great for doll clothes
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this thing was the size of an ironing board...its barely bigger than an iron. I spent twenty minutes trying to press a pair of pants...with only marginal results. Its interesting that in their picture they show nothing that would give you any kind of scale...a shirt a pair of pants?
Very deceptive and not worth the purchase. I returned my the next day.
I'm sure it could have some applications and the quality of the construction was fine...it's just way to small.
