Tools and Hardware Reviews of SteamFast SP-660 Table Top Steam Press

Customer Review: Just perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

I worked in a laundry and dry cleaners when I was in college so I knew the principle operating techniques of this item but it still takes practice, to learn positioning of the items and to keep from burning yourself. No it isn't as large as the ones in the laundry but where would you store that thing any way and did you really think it would sell for under 2 hundred dollars? It works just as the instructions say, just takes time to learn, don't give up and soon you will be able to press very quickly. I can do about a dozen garments in an hour and I don't repress with an iron.

Customer Review: Makes Me Wonder Why I Took This Long To Purchase. Once You Learn How to Use It, Can't Live Without It!
Summary: 5 Stars

Now I've had this for 2 months and I feel like I got it down, it's about time to share my experience. I wanted a steam press iron for the longest time, but never came close to actually buying it. Reading reviews game me a second thought also, I waited too long to find out this great invention.

As many says, it is small, but once you get used to it, this size is not too bad. It would be nice to own something like what dry cleaners have, but who knows how much that would cost and I don't want to give up that much space in my house either. So, for the price, I take this size and think this is a wonderful addition to my life.

After trying a few different things along with some mistakes, I found the following things that might help others.

1. Keep your regular iron and don't throw it away. Although I barley use it now, some clothes are much easier to work with a regular iron.
2. To activate steam, press the red button on either side of the handle (took me for a while to realize it wasn't automatic)
3. Use a sprayer (included) as soon as it gets to the temperature instead of waiting for steam to be ready. You can save some energy!
4. Place a cloth over on any "printed" part. I was too lazy to do this and print got on the ironing surface and now it won't come off....
5. Use a bigger pillow than what comes with and read manual to learn how to use it. This is a very good trick that I would never thought of if I didn't read the manual (found it while searching for activating the steam). With a pillow, you can iron almost anything without pulling out your regular iron from closet. Find a bigger pillow, it saves your time that you don't have to move around so often.
6. Place clothes all the way back and pull forward as you are working. By doing this, it gets less wrinkles.
7. Don't need to buy a Steam Press Stand unless you really want it. I've read reviews and decided to use a table with fold-able legs and it works fine with me.
8. Finally, don't put it on a ironing board, instead, place it on a table and sit down on a chair. Steam Press Stand only comes in one height (have to sit down) and many people wondered why it wasn't adjustable. So, I tried both ways and found out that you have a less chance to burn your hands if you are sitting. It just gives you a better angle for your hands to access to clothes.

I had to return this Table Top Steam Press. I thought it much bigger than it really was. The Prss worked just fine, it was too small for what I wanted it for...Thanks...Bob
