SINGER SteamWorks Pro Garment Steamer Review

SINGER SteamWorks Pro Garment Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Singer's SteamWorks Pro steamer is just amazing, so lets get down to it.
Assembly was fairly straight forward and took about five minutes to unpack everything and get it all put together. So the instructions get an A+.
To start off I filled the tank with filtered water (they recommend distilled water obviously) and slid in onto the base, flipped the machine on, waited about a minute and steam was shooting out so it was time to start steaming!
Using it for the first time, let alone a garment steamer for the first time, was an experience. I started with some drapes that had recently been washed but not ironed. A few passes with the steamer took every last wrinkle out of them! It actually surprised me because infomercials have really ruined my expectations on steamers as they seem to over glorify them.
Next up was a button up work shirt. Using the folding hanger and the garment clip bar to hold the shirt, a minute of going over the shirt made it look like it had been freshly pressed! Just amazing with so little effort.
The SteamWorks Pro steamer works flawlessly on everything I've tried it and it uses VERY little water.
Now there are a few things that I would consider minor flaws.
* First of all there is a LOT of plastic and it's not the heavy duty feeling ABS plastic. The pole clasps that are on the telescopic pole (these are what you use to lock the pole at different heights) are made of plastic and I am honestly waiting for one of them to break and prevent me from collapsing or extending the pole.
* I find the steamer hose a little bit too short and too stiff. When you are using it, the hose does become more pliable when heated up. Not a huge issue.
* The drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit and requires you to tilt it. They really should have designed it better so you didn't have to do this.
* Even when fully collapsed the unit is 32" tall. If you are like me, I have no room to store stuff like this and am resorting to having it just sitting in my room.
* No storage for the accessories. Now I have to find a place to put these bits and pieces.
* No handle, so I am unsure where I can grab to move/pick up the unit. It also doesn't roll on carpet or carpet with rugs very well.
These are all really nitpicky flaws, none of which detract from how well the unit works/functions.
For how well it works and the price, you really can't beat this garment steamer!
Pros:
Works and works very well.
Uses very little water and doesn't saturate the garment.
The accessories and nice, especially the handheld steaming board and space age oven mitt (seriously, it comes with a protective glossy silver oven mitt!).
Easy to operate.
Easy to put together.
Somewhat compact and collapsable.
Produces steam within a minute of turning it on.
Cons:
Fairly bulky, need to find a place to store it when not in use.
Drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit.
Tons of plastic! Only time will tell how well it will hold up to being used.
Has no storage for it's accessories.

Conair GS29 Instant Heat Ionic Professional Garment Steamer Review

Conair GS29 Instant Heat Ionic Professional Garment Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this garment steamer. Let me say, I am pretty experienced with this type of item; I have three portable fabric steaming units of all different brands, and I had one large standing unit much like this, but of a different brand. I used my old wheeled unit so much that I killed it in many ways - from the pole breaking off to the hose cracking, until it finally started smoking and I had to toss it (3x/week for a year).
Anyway - that was just to establish I am very familiar with steamers. If you aren't yet, or even if you're a fellow connoisseur, you will love this steamer. If you hate ironing - finding the right temperature for an article of clothing, getting around decorative areas or button holes, ironing a dress with tons of fabric where it winds up pressing wrinkles just from rotating it so much, this technology, and this unit, is for YOU!
This unit is FANtastic. It heats up in less than one minute which is pretty rare. I was worried that the steam might not be strong enough as it's silent and seems a bit gentle, but it does the job just right. There is practically no sound at all which is delightful - as with any hose if it's too low the steam condenses in the hose and will make a gurgling sound until you raise it straight up for a second. My cats were wary, but not afraid of this unit (good indicator of noise).
I love the following features:
*retractable and 8' cord (!)
*very easy to open and fill - and therefore to drain the water reservoir
*the built in 'clothes hanger' with two hooks for your own hangers
*the 'pause' steam feature
*the fact you can use it at any angle and it won't really drip on your clothes
*retractable pole means you can store it more easily - less prone to break while waiting to use again
*pants creaser!? Cool!!
Neutral:
the ion feature. I'm an ion nerd - I have three sharper image ionic breezes & a nightlight, and I swear by them - but I'm not sure the ion feature really 'does' anything. The plain steam made my clothing smell fresh (slight plastic-y smell when first running the new unit) but I could not smell the ions coming out from anywhere with my nose to it when I turned this function on, and yet I know it was functioning as the light was on, and I could hear a change in the sound. But, that is definitely the least important feature of this unit!
Also neutral on the hose heat - it's quite hot - enough that if you touch it it might make you retract your hand quickly - but it's not BURNING hot which is good :)
Con:
*The two removable 'heads' (for different types of fabric) never seem to really snap on - they don't attach in a satisfying kind of way. I can finagle them to stay on flush, but they don't really seem 'on.' I almost wondered if they were made for a different unit by Conair and then (retro)fit to this one instead.
More about great things:
*the built in 'hanger' - I know one reviewer said it was useless, but I found it fantastic. You just drop your garment on top of it, or button a shirt it around and steam like that. With sweaters that you might fold and not hang in your closet/bureau, this is especially a time saver. Sure, it doesn't work with pants so well (you can put the pants around it - just put on from beneath) but that's why it includes two hooks for your own hangers. I also LOVE the one-touch button to retract the top! very nice to get it out of the way if desired. Also it hold the head quite securely - ditto for the pants creaser.
*Steam pause: Just hit the pedal with your foot by a caster, and a red light comes on telling you it's pausing and not wasting steam. If you don't know why this really matters, when you have a huge pile to steam, every bit you can save will let you keep working longer by saving the steam. Sometimes I'd turn off my old unit but then there was a waiting period (taking clothes across the apt to closets, phone rings, various distractions, etc) for it to heat back up. This is a superb feature.
*pants creaser: handy little unit, it functions a bit like a straightening iron with a 'plate' where the steam comes out, and a plastic frame on the other side which you hold together to create a pants seam. This is one of the things which has still left me ironing, getting a good pants crease - but this is a super add-on! Also, please note that you can hold the clamp a bit tighter to get a more firm/deep pants crease.
The only thing this steamer can't handle is, for me, the dreaded linen fabric. If I try to steam the wrinkles out after wearing my skirt, which then has some deep-set wrinkles, I'm just out of luck. This is the ONLY item it hasn't worked for me, though! I suspect that the linen fibers need pressing of the iron.
This steamer works for me for: curtains, table cloths, very formal clothing (gowns of taffeta, sequins, or with ruching!), basically every fabric, sweaters, pants, coats, wool is DELIGHTFUL to steam! Very instant gratification to use this steamer, and you won't believe steaming your coats or woolen items.
If it's wrinkled you can probably safely and effectively steam it - always test a small area first! :) Enjoy!

I"ve had this steamer less than one month when it began to malfunction. As soon as I take it off of the hook, it shuts off. This was the most money that I have ever paid for a clothes steamer. it is still under its 6-month warranty but I will have to travel 35 miles to a repair shop.While it is being repaired I will have to resort to an iron or other sources. I'm quite disappointed in this product.

Easy set up. Very functional. Great design. Convenient. Steam comes out quick once plugged in and turned on. Only problem is the action. It took me several minutes---ten or so minutes--to steam a cotton/polyester blend skirt. It still did not completely take away the wrinkles. Very disappointed. However, the steam works great with 100% cotton material. Everything is wonderful except for its effectiveness on fabrics with blends.

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized Boiler Review

DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Ironing System with Pressurized Boiler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Apparently, I am one of the few remaining individuals who feel the need for freshly ironed clothing. I've always used steam irons, Rowenta most recently, with consistently disappointing results. Over the years, I've increased my use of spray starch to make up for the power I've believed should have originated in the iron. But no more!
After deciding I wasn't ready for a presser or a mangle for my clothing, and knowing I really didn't need to press that many tablecloths, I discovered a new genre: steam generating irons. And, after some significant research, I ordered this DeLonghi model.
It is truly a different beast than anything I've ever used! What steam production!!! The temperature of the iron sole plate is controlled independently from the quantity of steam desired. Tap water is actually recommended for use. The iron, while substantial in heft, is not heavy. And the old-fashioned looking cork handle is soft, smooth and cool to the touch.
But the bottom line is the job it does on my clothing and linen! While the ads say that this machine will cut your ironing time in half, I cannot say this is true.....mainly because I find myself taking the time to marvel over how each pass with the iron produces such a professional-looking surface! Really, the only thing that's been halved is my use of spray starch, which is an unforseen and welcome benefit!
Am I happy with my new "beast?" You bet! Would I buy another? No way....I suspect this well-designed machine is going to last me a long, long time. But can I recommend one for you? Without reservation!

The professional-quality ironing system with pressurized boiler gives you fresh, perfectly ironed garments every time. The very high volume of dry, powerful steam makes ironing quicker and more effective leaving dampness.It features the first double-material boiler made of a stainless-steel upper and super-alloy bottom that allows tap water to be used without the risk of valve occlusion. The molded tank allows for the heating element to be imbedded in the bottom rather than attached to the outside, creating a much better thermal capacity of the boiler for longer, more consistant ironing temperatures. The iron has a fully adjustable thermostat and steam flow to allow for perfect ironing on any type of fabric, and it can also be set for continous steam for vertical steaming of curtains, coats, etc. The professional cork handle provides hours of fatigue-free ironing, and the steam tube can be attached to either side of the boiler to accomodate either left- or right-handed people. All this and more in a beautiful professional ironing system that is backed by a three-year guarantee.

I purchased Model DG5030 to replace my old Rowenta Pressure Iron and Steamer (with blue water tank). My old iron was perfect and I expected this new one to be even better. However, much to my chagrin, it has two major defects: no matter what the iron temperature or steam settings, water drips (sometimes quite a bit) onto the fabric to be ironed. Also, since the water tank is completely enclosed, one cannot see how much water remains in the tank. Upon contacting Rowenta, I was told that these 2 defects are being "duly noted" in their customer files and that I was not the only consumer to complain. I am greatly disappointed that a company with the stature of Rowenta would not either offer to fix the iron, considering its cost or let me return it. I have written and e-mailed them with the further information that I knew of several other consumers with the same problem(s) so this iron obviously needs re-designing. Until these problems are addressed, I would not advise purchasing this model.

I bought this steamer for my boyfriend for Christmas since a 'dry-cleaner' type steam press was on his list. He tried it and was very disapointed. I researched quite a number of steamers like it and this one had the biggest surface area and had some good customer reviews but it didn't live up to them. The area was still too small and could only steam about the width of a sleeve. I was disapointed that we had to return it but it really wasn't up to par. I would not recommend this product.

Reliable Digital Velocity V100 Steam Iron Review

Reliable Digital Velocity V100 Steam Iron
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a professional costumer, and am used to using industrial irons. This iron puts out the best steam I have ever seen in a home (non steam generator) iron. The iron puts out a fine mist and doesn't "spit." This particular model has the option of turning off the automatic shut off. I consider this an important feature since I do sew at home sometimes.
The iron is heavy, but I consider that to be a good thing. It is difficult to get a good press with a light weight iron.
It would have been nice if the iron controls had not been placed right at the spot where your thumb rests. And I think that the handle is a little thick which in addition to the weight makes it awkward to handle.
However, if you sew or have delicate clothes which might water spot, this is a very good iron because of the fine steam it creates. I have only had it for about a month, so I cannot speak to its longevity.

Yamata GSI8800 heavy duty commercial iron Review

Yamata GSI8800 heavy duty commercial iron
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm picky about how an iron/steam generator/gravity iron works & this one doesn't work very good. This gravity iron produces half the steam that my Pacific did. I've used it for a few days, so I'm hoping there's an air bubble in the line rather than permanent skimpy steam. The water line should be longer; it won't reach to the end of my board. The warning light showing that the iron is on is on the back of the iron rather than the side. The heat level indicator is not readily visible as it is a indentation on the black plastic; a dot of red on the plastic would be better. The "control" for shutting off water from the bottle is a piece of plastic junk that doesn't stop the water instead of a screw.
All in all, it's better than a traditional iron, but if it doesn't start producing more steam, I'll replace it. Cheaper wasn't better this time.
2-23-09: I'm editing the review to add a new note: the plastic tubing between the water bottle and the iron is not heat resistant like my other gravity iron. The tubing has touched the iron while I was using it & has started to melt.
I am getting more steam--I probably had a few air bubbles in the tube, but the steam isn't as heavy as my Pacific.
