With its long-lasting steam power and adjustable design, the 1500-watt Perfect Steam commercial garment steamer from Home Touch is a great alternative to labor-intensive ironing. The steamer has an easy-to-fill tank that holds enough water for up to 40 minutes of continuous steam and heats up in just 45 seconds. The steam comes out of a 5-1/2-by-2-inch flat nozzle at the end of a flexible 5-foot hose, which is covered by durable heat-resistant fabric. Between uses, the nozzle can be hung on or coiled around the telescoping garment hanger. Home Touch builds in a ready indicator light and automatic shut-off for when water level is too low. Rolling casters make for easy movement of the steamer, and a simple bottom drain lets you empty it speedily. A fabric brush attachment is included for grooming and refreshing clothes. Safe for all types of fabric, the unit comes with a two-year warranty and detailed instructions. --Emily Bedard

 Very Good for Price, but Not Perfect September 30, 2008

I actually bought this at Macy's. When on sale there, it's the same price. The reviews for this and all steamers were so erratic that I wanted the convenience of returning it to a store if it underperformed.
That won't be necessary. I'm very pleased with the job it does, especially for this price (I paid $49 at the time). It generally gets tough wrinkles out of all types of fabrics with a lot less effort than ironing. It doesn't press clothes and you don't get that crisp look you would get with an iron, but it does a great job of smoothing out the wrinkles. Filling the unit seems easy enough and it is ready to use in less than a minute.
Overall, I would still buy this steamer at this price, but here are its probelms that I struggle with a little:
- It's hard to get the clothes at the right height to work on them. With the pole all the way up, I still find myself stooping over too much to deal with the lower portions of my shirts. If I put my shirts on a hanger that I place over the door or on a shower curtain rod, than they're too high for the hose to reach the top portions.
- You really need to empty the machine after every use. Otherwise, you get the issues that others have already described. Filling it is easy enough. Draining it isn't that hard and still a lot simpler than dealing with an iron and board, but I wish I could just leave it filled. It would be nice to have it always ready to go. I suspect this is an issue with all steamers.
- Another item under the heading of "it probably happens with all steamers", it draws so much power that the lights in the room dim making it hard to see what you're doing.
- I wish the unit was more stable. When working on a shirt hanging from the top of its tall pole, it's easy for the unit to either move with you or even tip a little. I can't imagine it falling over or anything, but it makes working with your clothes a little harder than it could be.
I took more time with the negatives than the positives so you know what problems to consider. As I said, though, all things considered, an excellent steamer for the money and I would purchase it again.
 Short and light weight September 10, 2008

I've had this steamer for one year. It works fine and the price is okay for the quality. I would steam a lot more, more frequently if it were easier to use. If you plan to steam weekly, spend more money. (My husbands shirts referred to are not oxfords, but rather light woven cotton short sleeved button downs some plaids, some dobby.)
1) It's too short. I'm 5'8" and the top of the extending bar is at my eye level. The tops of clothes hangers are a few inches below that and the shoulders of the shirts are even further down. The hems of my husbands shirts are below my knees. This makes it difficult to do the job. Not only am I bending over and getting steam in my face and burning my hand but also the steam condenses in side the tube (the popping sound) making the steam less powerful.
2) It's too light weight. Better de-wrinkling of clothing takes a bit of tension as you steam. Some fabrics need quite a bit of tension, like my husbands shirts, while other really should not be pulled at all, like my loose weave linen pants. This machine is very light, it will tip over before it rolls toward you. It's impossible to get good tension on my husbands shirts.
At this point I don't regret spending the money because it's so cheap compared to others and I haven't had time or been organized enough to focus on my wardrobe the way I would like. So the fifty or so garments I've steam have been worth the one dollar per garment I spent on the machine.
spits out hot water - then dies Buy a real steamer if you need one August 27, 2008

It worked for 5 uses, spitting out more hot water than steam. It drips water out the bottom and ruined the floor. My wife used to own a clothing store and had a Jiffy for 10 years, now it just needs a new heating element. I thought this would hold her over for personal use. What a waste of $60! If you really need a steamer, spend the $270 and the pro-line. It works for years, doesn't tip over or leak water out the bottom, like the Home Touch, and can be repaired instead of ending up in a landfill.
 Works well, value for the price June 16, 2008

I got this for my lodging business and the steamer was working hard 5 minutes after it was delivered. I have since steamed many items and found it works great for the price. I really like how quick it is ready to steam.
