Hamilton Beach Full Size Garment Steamer

Okay, no one has reviewed the Hamilton Beach Garment Steamer yet so here goes. I just got and tried it out. I love it so far, don't know if it lasts or not. I read a lot of review before taking a leap and trying a product with no reviews. I noticed some things, some complaints about other products seemed to be people who just preferred the look they get from their irons. Some seemed to be caused by build up and not cleaning them regularly. Some were actual problems and design or parts defects. The creaser this one comes with does not crease like an iron. I just ended up putting in creases by laying the garment flat on top of the washer and "ironing" with it. Also, I did a lot ruffly and flowy rayon stuff so I steamed from underneath so I wouldn't crease up the ruffles. This steamer heats up quick, the steam is hot but not heavy. Your cloths won't be sopping wet when you are done. I bought rayon stuff cheap and needed a steamer for it. I have no iron because there just is no room here...Read more

Works well on lightweight cotton and blends, great on wool. Even smooths out crimped shirt tail hems! Great for smoothing "no-iron" dress shirts. Large reservoir is convenient, but handle gets too hot to steam more than 2 garments (both sides) at one time. A small inset of silicone on handle would have netted 5 stars! Some very small drips fall onto clothing (infrequently), but never on my hands. (We use distilled H20 to avoid mineral build.) We use this steamer too often to put it away, but it could be rolled in and out of closet, easily. FYI-The steam is produced uniformly in the "on" position-there is no "burst" feature. Just move slowly over stubborn wrinkles or hold in one place for a few seconds. Has cut down our ironing load by 75%.

I just received my steamer and it is amazing. Set up was quick and easy! And it is so easy to use. It literally makes wrinkles disappear. It is great to spruce up your coat and pants but it won't replace an iron if you like your shirts neatly pressed. Best investment you can make. Highly recommend it.
