I recently received this item and it works very well on light fabrics, and is less effective on cotton or linen. It will 100% remove most wrinkles on polyester, rayon, thin modal, silk. For light thin cotton, it takes out the large creases, but leave these micro wrinkles–enough to be polished, but not crisp like the dry cleaner.
SILK: excellent 5/5 stars. although it infuses so much steam, you must wait a few minutes to dry on hanger, b/c if you lay it down it will wrinkle immediately. I was able to steam several crepe de chine silk dresses and tops. It takes 2-3min to steam a long silk dress, 1 min to steam a silk blouse. I could steam 5-7+ items with 1 fill.
COTTON: removes major wrinkles, but fabric not crisp. Similar to fresh out of dryer but not as crisp as dry cleaners or iron. You can easily use 1/2 or 3/4 of reservoir for 1 men's shirt or a long dress. Can do 1-2 items on single fill. I tried this on a thin cotton voile top and a dress shirt. this took more time to pass over segments. It's personal choice on wrinkles vs effort. For effort vs. ironing, I'd probably choose steamer, but results aren't as good.
Linen–again, similar to cotton. It will not make your item crisp, ever. Just gets the major wrinkles out to look casually presentable. I'd probably prefer ironing here.
As others have exalted, I've doubled my wardrobe because I can finally wear things I was too lazy to iron before work. AMAZING.
***I hope it lasts as the other reviews have had concerns on durability and rusting. I will update if these issues arise.
