Very Good Travel Steamer
By V Plum
Hello - I am in no way related to the SteamFast company. I have owned two other travel/compact steamers:

Jiffy, makes a very good steamer as well, however, it is more than twice the money and, although I had their compact steamer for at least six years, I didn't use it that much (as I had their industrial steamer) and recently the heater unit on it broke. So I'm not sure that their quality is so good unless I got a lemon. Additionally, the Jiffy model is slightly larger than the SteamFast model. (Note: This SteamFast is not dual voltage, just 120v only. Jiffy has a dual voltage steamer that works well too.)

The other model I used was a Franzus and the only thing better about this one was it's size. As a steamer it doesn't perform well at all.

The SteamFast Compact Fabric Steamer SF-435 does a very good job (just as good as Jiffy) at steaming out wrinkles - it has more steaming holes than Jiffy - (though if you want a super crisp look nothi ng replaces an iron), it's price is great for the quality, and it's a bit smaller than the Jiffy though it is larger that it 'feels' in the photo. I'd like to see them make this unit at least a couple of inches smaller but it's still a great unit. In my opinion, this unit can be used at home (especially since home units are much more expensive and take up a lot of room) or for traveling. A very good product. I highly recommend it. (I also recommend using distilled or purified water in clothes steamers whenever possible as it will extend the life of the unit.) Tip: Use an oven mitt when steaming garments - this allows one to put a hand under the garment while steaming for a better result. Other tip: Stretch fabric tightly while steaming for the best results. You can also steam things like hats and purses that have gotten bent (may help further to give straw hats a light water spray beforehand) or suede and leather that has creased though take special care to use the steamer o nly in short bursts or you may damage the leather/suede. Don't overfill as the unit (like all steamers) will spit water drops.

I'm giving this steamer 4 stars instead of 5 only because I've yet to find a better travel steamer, however, there is some room for improvement on performance though it works quite well for traveling and saves on pressing bills at hotels, and, of course, the convenience.
