My husband got this for us before our wedding. It steams well, but the handles do not stay together. It is also a bit bulky for the level of work it does. If you want an easy to use, travel style steamer, go with a smaller model. If you want a larger steamer that will be used often, go with something more sturdy.
Got this in a previous wooting. It’s gotten a fair amount of use in the last couple of months for de-wrinkling baby clothes in preparation for consignment. It works wonderfully well on most things, although there are some fabrics that just won’t respond to anything short of a steam press. But it’s pretty quick and easy.
The Rowenta products are held to a high standard and aren’t cheap.
This looks like a great price. If I didn’t spend a fortune on here and other items in the past two months I would be purchasing this.
A friend has it for 2 years and it’s probably this model. She does her beautiful window dressings with it once a year, her husband’s suits and her clothing that gets a bit wrinkled.
If you can swing it, need it, then go for it. Rowenta appliances are usually highly rated. I didn’t check Ghost’s links as I guess this is at least $50 under retail if not more. I know the prices of Rowenta products, own two of their irons and they’re great too. I paid $79.95 plus tax for one of them at Tuesday Morning and they discount close to half off usually.
