I was very excited to order this travel steam iron. I am a frequent traveler and need an either travel iron or steamer iron to quickly take care of packed and wrinkled clothes out of travel luggage. Most of times, the steamer iron would have easily taken out small folded lines or wrinkles if packed well beforehand.
Upon opening of the package, I find the steamer iron is well made with quality workmanship. The iron is not heavy, and easy to hold in one hand to apply steam. The amount of steam and the strength is okay and the operation is fairly easy. The clip iron and the rotating head feature are good features. It heats up fast and generate stem fairly fast.
There are a few concerns after using this teamer iron:
1. The plug for water tank (well, it’s not a tank but a tiny well) is not securely closing the well. It’s not tight and snug enough for preventing water from leaking. It hasn’t leaked during the use; however, it still feels loose. I really think this cap has to be re-designed.
2. The water well is too tiny and difficult to fill. I know it’s a small well for a small iron, but could be designed with a bigger opening and bigger and better cap.
3. It spat water at the steam mode occasionally when the head is rotated, particularly at the high steam mode. This can be a problem on delicate clothes that may be easily stained a water stain.
4. The length of the power cord is too short and needs an extension cord.
In summary, this reasonably well-built steamer iron works and will be useful for travel or at home, but needs improvements in my opinion.
