I'm surprised how often I use it. My clothes look so much nicer now. I have a Conair from Bed Bath and Beyond. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279867 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:05:43 +0000 cloud9 279867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a SteamFast, got from amazon. It works wonders, I just love how easy it is to use. My biggest problem with this is that the hanger bubbles a bit when you are steaming, maybe newer models have a solution for this. Also, you do need to clean it from time-to-time. Another consideration is that the size of the water tank usually dictates the price as well, the higher priced ones have a bigger water tank (as everything else being equal). I chose a small one.. I don't find myself steaming for more than 30 minute or so. Besides, I timed it, it really took less than 1 minute for it to steam up. I find it super useful to freshen up stuff in the morning/ at night for the outfit I was about to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279825 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:11:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 279825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would LOVE a steamer, guess I'm officially grown up now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279588 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 04:52:19 +0000 umayama 279588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is a jacket gifted by a university batch mate of mine from Delhi.. it has wrinkles very badly..

Mine is 8 or so years old and still going strong. My husband uses it, too, and we estimate it paid for itself within first year by reducing our dry cleaner use.<br /> Jiffy's travel steamer is very nearly as good.<br /> The key to keeping a steamer functional is to use distilled water.<br /> Never heard of Gal Pals - I'm off to Google that term. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279548 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:36:16 +0000 Dana 279548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could NOT live without my steamer. I rarely iron! <a href="http://www.jiffysteamer.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.jiffysteamer.com</a> is great. Feel free to use my promo code: image048 for free shipping. They're expensive, but I can't imagine them ever wearing out. BTW, I have the J2000. Oh, and if you get a little spot on something, sometimes the steam will work it out. </p> <p>Gal Pals and Dryell are my other best friends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279447 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 01:26:04 +0000 rae 279447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is a Conair -- I think it's this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&#038;productId=100678657&#038;langId=-1&#038;catalogId=10053&#038;ci_src=14110944&#038;ci_sku=100678657&#038;cm_mmc=shopping-_-googlebase-_-D29X-_-100678657&#038;locStoreNum=1002" rel="nofollow">http://www.homedepot.com/webap.....reNum=1002</a></p> <p>Melody, I was SO happy to steam my jackets. I wear them often for work, and ironing takes forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279342 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:51:37 +0000 Sara 279342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Bella, any brand recommendations would be great! I have a steamer but it is a piece of junk and I never use it. I think a nice one would be a wonderful investment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-279081 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 15:43:58 +0000 bella 279081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am intrigued.

Steamers are great for jackets &amp; blazers when they get mashed up a bit in the closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-278900 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 03:12:33 +0000 rae 278900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, nice to know about the wool. </p> <p>Now I just have to practice not burning myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-278882 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:43:00 +0000 lpr200 278882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought one, recommended by Good Housekeeping! I didn't think about it for wool, Sveta, but it will great to steam out wrinkled sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-278879 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:40:01 +0000 Sveta 278879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice find. I really like mine (was a BD present from my dad) especially for wool items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-278872 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:36:12 +0000 Tanya 278872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo-hoo! What a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-purchase-of-2011#post-278869 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:34:48 +0000 rae 278869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am SO glad my fiance spotted my new (used) garment steamer at the swap meet! I only paid $20 and now: wrinkle-free clothes in a fraction of the time, without throwing out my back, and without all the chemicals in my Downy Wrinkle Remover Spray. I am so thrilled I want to steam everything! </p>
