Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer Review

I received an IS 8100 steamer as a gift.Now, nine months later, the steam head has come apart.It just fell apart.It appears that daily use (four or five days a week) may have been too much for this "commercial" product.I'm trying to obtain a replacement part from Rowenta now.I'll update my review once I get a final answer from their customer service department.

When the product is working, it works pretty well.I use it on wool suits, and it removes wrinkles quickly.However, without the steam head, this is useless for me.

Product Description:
While a steam iron eliminates fabric wrinkles and creases with great efficacy, the impact of a heavy soleplate will not do for some delicate and vintage pieces. For such ironing conundrums, Rowenta offers this professional upright steamer. The 1500-watt steamer gently smoothes wrinkles away without the stiffness left by a conventional iron's soleplate.
The detachable 1-gallon water tank reaches its steaming temperature in approximately 90 seconds. With a full tank, the appliance produces steam for 2-1/2 hours. The user applies pressure to the foot pedal to engage and control steam output. An indicator light on the pedal informs its readiness for use. Steam travels through a 5-foot insulated hose, which removes for stowing. Though the user can monitor water levels through the tank's transparent construction, the steamer arrests power when the tank becomes dry to prevent damage to the appliance or power waste. The steamer also turns off automatically if left idle for prolonged periods of time for extra security. An aluminum hanger pole snaps onto the steamer body, extending the steamer to 5 feet high. The hanger supports clothes as they are steamed and swivels for quick garment steaming, front to back. In addition to the extra wide steaming head, Rowenta includes both fabric and upholstery attachments, as well as a lint brush for enhanced care. The power cord spans 9 feet and stores around a provided bar. The steamer travels on four wheels with casters and a carrying handle. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. This item benefits from a one-year limited warranty. Without the hanger pole attached, the steamer measures 19-2/3 by 15-4/5 by 13 inches and weighs 18 pounds upon shipping.

Reliable Empressa Digital Steam Presses Review

I have always been lousy at ironing.
This steam press makes my life a lot easier.I can press both sides of an item at one time.I can put a crease in that lasts all day.

It takes some time to get used to putting items on the press.I don't really use the steam much, but I use the squirt bottle all the time.Sometimes I placed an item so it developed a crease somewhere I didn't want it.Just squirt and repress.

Unlike regular ironing where you work on a small portion at a time, this does half a shirt or a whole pants leg at a time.Proper placement and smoothing it out before pressing is VERY important or else you repeat.
I usually count to about 8 and it is done.
Most shirts take four presses of 8 seconds each.Half the shirt twice and the sleeves.Pants, hmm, I am still working on the alignment thing.Usually I am pressing the pants flat, meaning seam to seam, then folding to put the crease down the leg.

You will burn yourself.My boyfriend gave me cut resistant gloves and cut the finger tips out on the palm side to help me do the alignment thing.It opens like a clamshell.The front side is about 10" open and the back end is only about 2-3" open.It is very easy to bump the top with your hand, which is the heated part, in the process of lying clothes on it.I also wear long sleeves.AND pants or shorts.It sits about four inches lower than my fully raised ironing board since I also got the stand.Perfect for sitting,While standing, well, I am tall so it is right at my crouch level.I haven't experienced it but I heard a man who stated that he accidentally caught his "stuff" in it.So, I don't use it naked.

Product Description:
Reduce the time you spend ironing by up to 50 percent with this digital steam press. The unit's pressing area measures 25 by 10 inches--over seven times larger than most handheld irons, while its powerful burst-of-steam function smoothes wrinkles out of the most stubborn fabrics quickly and easily. The steam press works great for everyday ironing of trousers, blouses, jackets, and linens, but it can also be used by dressmakers as a mini-fusing press for setting fusing on collars, cuffs, jacket fronts, and more. The steam press comes equipped with a digital control panel with simple push-button controls and indicator lights that allow for accurately setting the temperature (up to 330 degrees F). Other thoughtful details include a safety alarm and automatic shut-off, a childproof safety lock, a Hi-Tec woven press cover with pad, and an accessory kit with a pressing cushion and water spray bottle. The UL-listed 1350-watt steam press measures approximately 26 by 22 by 9 inches.
