This was steaming the Last Time it was sold
Every time I see a garment steamer pop up, I’m tempted to buy it. Then I realize I LIKE my clothes all wrinkly!

I have this. I love it. I use it almost every day. It’s great for my shirt.woot shirts. I line dry them over a clothes rack and this takes the wrinkles and creases out.
I will be honest though, I upgraded to this one from one without the clips. I thought I’d use the clips a lot. I don’t.
excellent price considering it’s almost 90 on amazon.

WOW! You opened it finally!!! 
These are great. They remove wrinkles, but they also do a good job at cleaning up the mess your Cleveland Steamer left behind.
'Seems like this would pay for itself in under 10 uses, as dry clearer places won’t ‘iron’ anything without doing a full dry clean. It’s a sauna for my shirts.

I bought a similar one back in 2011 and still use it daily. Fill it up every few days, otherwise it it has been totally maintenance free. Great for getting the wrinkles out of tee shirts, quick and easy. Thicker cargo pants/shorts take a bit longer, but still easier for me than taking the iron / iron board out.
I bought this on Woot and love it. If you don’t already own a steamer…buy it. This is a quality machine for the price. It doesn’t spit up water and heats up and is ready to go in about a minute.
I bought this baby a few months ago, and I love it! One of my best woots to date.
I work at a Darden restaurant where we wear white dress shirts that must always be perfectly pressed. This steamer is WAAAAAAAY easier and faster than lugging out the iron. I use it almost every day, and, other than occasionally hesitating to send the steam out (which I suspect is a function of me not using distilled water like I should) it really does work perfectly. I can fire this thing up and have my uniform wrinkle-free and ready to go in under 5 minutes.
The only two downsides: First, despite the pole being collapsible (though not all the way down) and detachable, the base of the steamer is still too large to roll under the bed or into a corner of my small closet. I suggest you find a space out of the way and dedicate it to the steamer if you plan on using it every day, or roll it into a hallway closet (or a walk-in closet) if you won’t use it so often. Second, the steamer includes a little clip for making creases, but I’ve found it hard to use. If you really want that sharp crease, either practice a lot or fire up the iron and seal in that crease for a few washes.
I have one and used it to steam my microfiber couch and chairs. Did an amazing job and saved me a ton of money over having a “professional” come in.
I bought one of these off the last sale. Works great.
I actually use it to steam wood to soften it so that it will bend into fun shapes.
Setup was easy (and so was taking it apart for uses for which is wasn’t intended).
The thing really did heat up FAST.
Was easy to use, just one power switch, no other controls.
My only gripe is that you have to take the reservoir off to refill it - you can’t add more water while it’s being used. However, unless like me you are steaming big pieces of wood that likely won’t be an issue since it does produce steam for just over an hour which should be long enough for any normal use.
Bought this because my wife said she wouldn’t iron my clothes anymore. Now she won’t steam my clothes anymore. :,(
This machine is super easy to use, I use it almost everyday to freshen up my work clothes, other than that, I’m wrinkles on the weekend.
Bought one of these a while ago from woot and, I have to say, I don’t use it nearly as much as I thought I would. While I hate ironing, I am actually pretty good at it (wife asks me to iron her clothes often), and I have found that the steamer just doesn’t provide the same level of “crispness” as the iron. I’m mostly ironing collared button down shirts that have been home washed and jeans or chinos, and for me the iron is quicker, easier, and gives better results. There are some things this does much better than an iron, like freshening up sport coats and suit jackets, and I’ve even used it around the house sometimes (e.g., bed skirts still on the bed), but it mostly just sits in the closet unused.
FWIW I don’t regret buying it, have had no problems with it, and when I do use it I’m happy with it. But, I don’t think you should expect it to replace your iron.
I bought this on the Woot Off and another for a gift. I love it. I had the older Sunbeam from Woot a few years ago.
The water fill lasts forever and keeps on going.
The included hanger is awkward though. I steam with garments hung off the side clip on my own hangers and only use the pants clip.
No water leaks or anything else, wonderful for steaming drapes, pillows, even the sofa fabric to freshen it up. The trick is to make sure it is really heated up, before steaming.
I am hoping this does not bring horrible flashbacks of my days of working retail in the mall, where I was chained to a steamer for what seemed like an eternity…must bite my lip and jump in for one…tired of being wrinkled.
