IMHO, it works every bit as well as the Jiffy professional floor stand model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656547 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:46:22 +0000 Janet 656547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same one as Marianna and I like it very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656543 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:36:26 +0000 lynne 656543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave up on portable ones. My husband found me a standing one like they use in stores or dry cleaners. (on ebay, I think) If I let it get hot enough there's no dripping, and if you use distilled water there should be no problem with the minerals. It does take up floor space, but I found a corner for it in the master bathroom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656213 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 05:14:10 +0000 catgirl 656213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm basically looking for no dripping, enough heat to really steam, relatively quick heat-up and durability. I'm not as concerned about weight or portability or industrial strength since I wouldn't be using it for everything, just my delicate items. But I am just learning about them myself. Follow along with me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656210 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 05:10:26 +0000 ManidipaM 656210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Er, sorry to threadjack, Una, but it's sorta to the point (or not wholly tangential) perhaps --- I'm thinking of getting a handheld steamer myself, and since I've never owned one, wondering what I should be looking for in terms of features, quality etc... Any help, if you can? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656167 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:58:41 +0000 marianna 656167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Shark Press &amp; Refresh handheld steamer and it is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656165 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:56:51 +0000 catgirl 656165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Dash - I will check it out!</p> <p>CC, doesn't look like any handhelds get universal reviews, probably because the big steamers are the ones that really work. Thanks for the link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656035 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:48:04 +0000 Dashrashi 656035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Jiffy Esteam travel steamer (as recommended by Slate's roundup of travel steamers). I can leave my suits crumpled up on my dresser all I want and revive them in the morning before I need to wear them again. And I can take it with me on work trips (disassembled, it fits in a gallon-size ziploc). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-656029 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 00:46:06 +0000 Classically Casual 656029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I don't have any first hand experience, but I did remember reading this posting earlier in the year: <a href="http://www.unefemme.net/search?q=steamer" rel="nofollow">http://www.unefemme.net/search?q=steamer</a></p> <p>I was sold on the idea, until I read reviews on Amazon which were quite mixed at the time. It's certainly a great idea in principle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/steamer-recommendations#post-655977 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:53:11 +0000 catgirl 655977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really need to get a real clothes steamer. I have a cheap travel one and it's all junked up with minerals and it's terrible and doesn't really get wrinkles out at all. I don't want to spend a ton of money, since it would mostly be only for my silk shirts, but I want one that works.</p> <p>Any recommendations or reviews? TIA! </p>
