It works fast and easy. Just hang your clothes and it works by itself.
Worth every penny spent.

First let me clear something up; my husband's shirts still get sent to the cleaners for ironing. Having said that let me proceed with the review.
As many have already said this does not replace ironing and you will not get the crisp look an iron leaves (although if you hang a hook over a door with a towel you can actually "press" the garment against it and make somewhat of a crease on it).
I am a housewife with two kids and although my husband's clothes are always professionally ironed mine and the kid's are NOT. Since I have the steamer we have gone from the "folded out of the dryer" look to an actually ironed look. I steam everything, their t-shirts and shorts, jeans, my blouses, my husband's polo shirts... it takes the wrinkles away in a second. I can go through a whole load of laundry in about 15 or 20 minutes, and doing it is a breeze.
I have the model with the metal head and it is actually kind of heavy. If you'll be steaming for long periods of time maybe you should consider the plastic model which is noticeably lighter.
I would recommend this steamer to everyone who cannot afford to send every single piece of clothing to be ironed. It really does a great job removing wrinkles (again, it does not replace actual ironing for things like dress shirts and such).

Just got my steamer after a year+ hiatus since my Rowenta's plastic head cracked off. WOW, what a difference, for almost the same price! My advice: DO NOT bother with a steamer that has a plastic head. Over time, it will melt, crack, irreparably fall off-->the end for your steamer. There were no replacement parts for my Rowenta, & its ability to remove wrinkles was underwhelming, so I just didn't bother replacing it. The Jiffy J2000 is easier to use: The tank pulls out & replaces easily, no levers or locks to undo. The tank opening is big, no funnel needed, holds about a gallon. It heats within a minute to steaming. The metal head gets steaming hot, so you essentially have a combination of a hand-held iron and a steamer (the instructions do stress the importance of contact between the head and the fabric for best results). The handle is big and wooden, so its comfortable & cool. The unit itself is easy to roll on casters, not bulky, so it's easy to use in my very small laundry room. Be aware that if you haven't used a steamer before, the tubing gets very hot & may burn a little one (or you)--teach kids to stay away as soon as you get this out of the box! You will get billowing clouds of steam, & it WORKS, even on jeans! This is a very quiet unit, too, so you can steam while the kids sleep or do homework, Dad watches TV, etc. And if you want to hold your hanging garment by a corner to keep it steady or straighten it while steaming, I would strongly suggest an oven mitt, or just using a metal or wood tong to keep your hand out of the way entirely. That's the voice of experience, having scalded my fingers a few times! DON'T touch the hot steam head & keep it & the hose away from your anatomy. No attachments come with this steamer. The instruction book shows several attachments that can be ordered thru the Jiffy website to make this a steam cleaner (bathroom, floors, etc), hat steamer, etc, as well as a garment steamer. An extended 3 YEAR warranty is also offered on top of the 1 year warranty, for $34.99 on [..]. Can't beat this deal!

This is a pretty hardy unit, heavy and sturdy. We are using at home. I was hoping for more dramatic results, but I have not used one before so I assume the results are industry standard and there are no miracle cures for some ironing needs.
