Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jiffy Steamer 0601 ESTEAM Travel Steamer, Black
Customer Review: This little steamer works great, and is made in the USA!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Jiffy ESTEAM, the first steamer I've ever purchased, was made in the USA! Despite having a smaller reservoir, the compact size makes it easier to store than full-size/pro steamers. As a travel steamer, it won't fit in my garment bag and might be pushing it in less than the largest carry-on.
After filling with reverse osmosis purified water and plugging it in for the first time (my thought was less calcium scale buildup) the little Jiffy started steaming in 2-3 minutes. I used a clothes brush to remove dust and lint, then proceeded to steam 7 sport coats and 6 pairs of slacks. It works great on wool, smoothing out wrinkles with minimal effort. I wasn't able to get 100% of the wrinkles out of linen, but I saw such a marked improvement that I know I can wear linen garments more frequently now. I refilled the reservoir about 4 times and the whole exercise took me a little over an hour. To me, this is much safer and easier than ironing as I don't have to worry about damaging the fabric or creating creases where they were never intended.
I'm confident that the combination of this steamer and a good clothes brush means I won't need to take my suits or slacks to the dry cleaners as often. I'm very satisfied, as getting this much stuff dry cleaned costs me almost $100! Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Jiffy Steamer Esteam, Travel Size
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the Jiffy Steamer 0601 and it really worked! I had read the good reviews on it but was a still a skeptic on how well it got rid of wrinkles. The first thing I tried it on was cotton t-shirts that had been run through the drier, and it got rid of the few wrinkles that were there. I haven't tried it on t-shirts that have been line dried and have lots and lots of wrinkles, but I have my doubts to how effective it would with those. I also used it on flannel cotton work shirts and again it took out the wrinkles. On dress shirts it took out most of the wrinkles but didn't give a crisp finish, so I ironed those. On sheer bedroom curtains that were hanging up, it took out all the wrinkles, much to my surprise. I had to be careful when using it because it also put in creases that I had to take out. When traveling and my clothes have some wrinkles in them from being packed, this little steamer gets most of them out. All in all, I am pleased with it. It's not the end of ironing but has sure put a dent in it.Customer Review: Excellent little steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this steamer for two reasons: I wanted to remove light wrinkles from clothing I had worn so that I wouldn't have to dry clean it between wearings, and I wanted something I could travel with. This steamer is excellent for both purposes. It's true that it is small and requires frequent refilling if you're steaming multiple garments. However, its size makes it ideal for travel; if they made the reservoir any larger, it would be too cumbersome to pack. It's also true that that steamer won't fully remove deep creases, but then, no steamer will. If you want freshly pressed clothes, you need to use an iron. The only complaint I have about this steamer is its lack of an on/off switch, but this is truly a minor issue.
If you purchase this product, I recommend that you use filtered/distilled water to prevent residue from building up in the reservoir (just as you would do with a steam iron).
Customer Review: Portable clothes steamer
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great portable steamer. Easily packed it in my suitcase. It's not incredibly fast, but it gets the job done. I bought this steamer to take along to Vegas for my daughter's wedding. I called the hotel and the concierge said it would cost between $50 and $100 to have a wedding dress done at the hotel. We made our money back just in doing her dress alone, but we also did the three bridesmaids dresses and some of the groomsmen tuxes. It also has a nice long cord. I also checked online and this steamer had the highest ratings. If there is a drawback, it's that you have to keep the steamer in a fairly upright position for best results. On normal clothes this isn't a problem, but on a really long dress it means getting the hem line up high enough to steam the bottom. In that situation, we found it much easier with two people. But then, how often are you steaming a wedding dress with train by yourself?Customer Review: Excellent Steamer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this steamer specifically for my wedding day. My full ball gown, complete with cathedral length train, had been hanging (stuffed) in it's garment bag, hidden from my fiance, for the full month leading up to my wedding day. I knew I would need a good steamer to be used by my dress attendant on my wedding day, so I did extensive research, which led me to the purchase of this Jiffy Steamer. On the big day, I walked into my dressing room to find my gown BEAUTIFULLY steamed with not a single wrinkle, and every square inch of the duchesse bridal satin looked like smooth buttercream icing. My dress attendant said that the steamer worked beautifully and quite easily "melted" the creases from the gown, from the pleats at the corset to the edges of the very long train.
And now that the wedding has passed, I will be taking this steamer with me on my business trips!
