Customer Reviews

Awesome product!
I decided to buy a steamer after using a Jiffy Steamer at my mom's house. I was a bit hesitant about how well it would compare since the steam fast product is signicantly less expensive than the comparable Jiffy Steamer product. The Good Housekeeping endorsement of this product sealed the deal. I have been thrilled by how well it works. My clothes look great after steaming them! It is great for replacing ironing clothes, and you can use it to remove wrinkles on things that I would *never* try ironing - like wool sweaters, suit jackets, draperies/sheers, knit tops. The other big advantage for me personally is that all I have to do is to plug it in to use it - no more dragging out the ironing board. The mfr does recommend the use of distilled or deionized water to prolong the life/minimize descaling maintenance. A gallon of water will probably fill the tank twice - which translates into about 8 hours of use. Do shop around. Cost varies significantly from place to place. UPDATE: Dec 9 2006. Still have my steamer, still love it! No problems with it whatsoever.

Recommended, in spite of a few problems
The on/off switch broke the second time I tried to use this steamer. The unit was repaired under warranty by the manufacturer. Customer Service was polite but sluggish -- my initial email requesting help from the company went unanswered for 9 days. My email to the company regarding a subsequent customer service issue was ignored for more than 2 weeks. Finally I contacted CEO Benny Lee. His associate, Homer Wang, responded to my email that same day, called me on the phone, and had the problem resolved immediately. I am recommending the product because it has worked very well since it was repaired, and because ultimately Top Innovations, Inc. stood behind its product and treated me fairly.

Ironing is a bore but steaming is much more fun
I received this as a christmas gift. After 30 days of use I really love my steamer. I can blast through an entire weeks worth of laundry in just a few hours while I watch television.
The lint brush that clips right onto the front is great for all of those sueded micro fiber materials they have out now. I also really like the freedom of movement I have not being stuck behind an ironing board and having to walk around it all of the time to change garments.

The steam heats up quickly and is so portable that I can turn it on and start steaming within 5 minutes of my toddler going down for a nap. When she wakes up I can turn it off and roll it right out of the way in about 1 minute flat. Even if I only get 30 minutes to do steam it's still easy on and easy off.

Warning though, the steam is extremely hot and powerful. I did get a minor burn on my fingers from not being careful. I recommend using "props" like plastic hangers up a shirt sleeve to hold it at the righ angle. And laying a garment on a table/bed to steam a crease. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with my new toy. Ironing is a boring chore but steaming is fun.
