I just purchased this item today because it was on sale; I'm glad I didn't pay full price. I found that the water from the container leaks considerably and you end up with wet feet as you steam iron. Drops of HOT water also leak on your hands/arms! The amount of steam is productive--if you don't mind putting 10-15 minutes extra time on top of what it would have taken you to iron the darn thing in the first place. It does not leave a crisp crease, as with an iron. The whole appliance is so light-weight that if you try to move the stiff hose around to steam the sides or back of your garment, it tends to tip over. Otherwise, it works fine on fabric that can burn more easily with an iron: e.g., silk, rayon, cashmere, etc. So, if you have very quick reflexes and don't mind having wet feet and a semi-pressed garment, then this is the right item for you!

I had a smaller steamer, got this connair deluxe and decided not to give my daughter the smaller one, but buy another of these for her use. I HATE to iron. This is a JOY! Lots of steam. Lots of saved time and OH WOW, what a beautiful job on all our clothes. Stretchy tops, sequins, painted on artwork comes out so nicely! Takes little time to be ready to use and the tank of water lasts 1 1/2 hours, more than ample!! Go for it, you won't be sorry.....and it's less than the little one price wise!

In addition to the ease of use difficulties mentioned by other reviewers, mine actually broke completely! The machine just suddenly stopped working- and I've only used it about 4 times. Beware.

In terms of ergonomics and quality of materials, Conair cheaped out a bit more than I would've liked. While both hose attachments are durably built and snap securely into the top of the hose, steam is still able to escape and scald your hands if you angle the attachments the wrong way while steaming garments. The creasing attachment does not grip the fabric firmly enough either.

The useless, "vestigial" wheel on the bottom of the plastic base makes this a chore to move around, which is probably for the best considering the more you move the unit, the more the flimsy metal support pole must be tightened into the base to ensure the unit doesn't come crashing down around you. Bottom line: the unit is top heavy! Another thing: the electric cord is too short, so have an extension cord on hand just in case.

Hanging the hose up on top is easy, and the unit moves 360 degrees in 4 fixed intervals - just make sure the attachment isn't pointed at your face! There's no mechanism to control the steam output so the only way to ebb the flow of hot, scalding steam is to shut the unit off or move the unit away from your face. Sounds simple enough, but when you're busy ironing, you tend to forget small details like that!

The results of using the Conair steamer save this machine from being a total loss. My bedding went from crinkled and puffy to flat and silky in less than 10 minutes. An iron and ironing board cannot promise such dramatic results in such a short period of time. It’s really quite amazing.

If, like me, you're super neurotic about folding your bedding and you long for a fast, convenient way of zapping the wrinkles from larger items such as sheets and curtains, then the Conair Deluxe Garment Steamer may be a worthwhile investment.

If you're just looking to steam dress shirts and slacks, and could care less about wrinkles in your flat sheets and curtains, you’re better off to pass on this machine - a traditional flat iron will meet your needs much more effectively.

This steamer does not produce enough steam. You have to three times as much time to try to steam something than to iron it. I have used a steamer in my fashion design classes that REALLY steams. It will shoot out blasts of steams and gets out any wrinkles very quickly. This one does hardly anything. I went over and over wrinkles and they still didn't come out. Also the hose gets really hot and is not safe. Obviously these other people who reviewed it have not used a steamer that really works good before. I'm going to have to take my wedding dress to the cleaners to have it steamed now. This is definitely NOT commercial grade. It's going back.

I bought this for my wedding dress and bridesmaid's dresses for my wedding. It was either buy this or spend [..] for a professional to steam that would take at least a month!

My girls helped me out, I had a white towel and rubber band to cover the nozzle to prevent water droplets. (I read online that this happens with most professional steamers.) We read the directions and kept the nozzle upright while we worked. We were able to steam my dress made of satin, three bridesmaid dresses, and my mother's chenille top! Everything worked well and it helped to make my wedding beautiful.

I just bought this today and am returning it tomorrow. I have been trying to press the same shirt for 15 minutes at least now. The head is leaking out burning hot water all over and when the cord bends (which is often) it makes an awful sound and the steam stops coming out. Just spend the extra money to buy a high end one.

Soon after starting a family I found the laundry piling up...and up....and up! I needed something to SAVE me...when I found this!! It takes me a total of 2 minutes to 'steam' an outfit in the mornings...or should I say 3 minutes after it warms up. That's a miracle to me. Too, with an 18 month old in the house...I don't have to worry with an iron...safety wise...time wise...etc. I have told all of my friends how excited I am and would recommend this to absolutely anyone for anything!

I bought this steamer based on the reviews given from Target.com customers. I returned the item because it did not meet my expectations. I would let the water heat up for at least 5 minutes so I would make sure the water was hot. When ever I began to steam my clothes steam would only come out for a minute or two and then stop. I would have to wait another 1-2 minutes for steam to come out again. It took forever to steam my clothes! The only reason I bought this steamer because I thought it would be faster than ironing...obviously I was wrong!

I hate ironing and the fabric steamer was recommended to me by some friends. I spend over 80$ monthly on dry cleaning charges so I decided to give this a try. What a great idea, I tried it on my duvet cover, sheets and pillowcases and my bed looked just like one out of a magazine. I was convinced and is fun and very easy to us.

Just watch our for drops of water since they are very H-O-T and you can get burned. The handle also can get a little hot, but if you use a glove or some protection, you'll be just fine. This is a good investment for the young professional that needs to iron daily.
