I bought this because it had good reviews and I was looking for something affordable and easy to move around. I am writing this review after using the unit daily for two months.
I really dislike this steamer. Who designs a cup with a round bottom? These people. If you look at the photos, you can see the top of the water basin is round. So when you remove it to add your DI water you have to hold the reservoir and manage to pour from a gallon DI bottle. It requires 3 hands.
Second issue, the stand isn’t very tall and the cord crimps when you move the handle down, makes loud noises, and stops producing steam. I had to get a rack to hang the clothes from a higher vertical position. Pants, dresses, or long tops aren’t viable with this unit.
Third, you can see in the photos there is a hanger with clips. The clips aren’t capable of holding any weight, so you will need to buy your own clips.
Fourth, when the unit does produce steam it is intermittent and produces a significant amount of spray leaving water spots on your clothes.
Fifth, it only works on a narrow range of fabrics. I’ve owned other brands and only on rare occasions needed to pull out my iron. I now need my iron daily. It has basically doubled my wotk time (I have an online clothing store). I hate spending unnecessary money, but I’m going to have to buy a different unit.
I’m not a reviews giver, but I am tired of being angry about this daily and you deserve to know.
The advertising is correct this unit is easy to move around. That is the only thing I like about this unit.
