Decent steamer
My biggest issue with travel friendly steamers is water capacity. If I have heavy fabrics to steam, or more than 2 items, I end up having to pause midway to let the steamer cool down before I can refill the water. So my favorite feature about this steamer is that the water tank doesn't get hot. I'm not sure if you're supposed to refill the water while the rest of the steamer is still hot since I don't read manuals (oops), but I've done it so far with no issues. Despite my reservations about the price, and the fact that I would prefer having a handle as it's more ergonomically friendly for me, I chose to keep this one for time efficiency. Speaking of the lack of handles, yes, it means the product is more streamlined and easier to pack. However, I do find it mildly uncomfortable to hold. Not enough to make it a big issue, and maybe over time I'll get used to it, but if it's possible to add a foldable handle in future iterations then that would be great.

This is the one you want!
This is my first use of a garment steamer! I've always wanted one since I despise even light ironing, but couldn't justify the purchase until my daughters' got flower girl dresses that arrived with quite a bit of wrinkles in the layers of tulle. I did a lot of research on reviews, and seriously thought I was gonna have to make do with less than I had hoped for. I kept scrolling, and found this little travel one. I didn't want a bigger one, because I really don't iron/steam all that often and dislike items like that taking up unneeded space. I really like the size of this one! I imagine it'd be perfect for travel. Fits my average sized hands well and is pretty light. It can steam in any direction, which was awesome for the massive amount of tulle to be steamed! Obviously because it is smaller, it needed multiple refills (which was super easy) to steam that much tulle, but I think for an average user, it'd do a couple shirts per fillup easily. It heated up quickly- within 10-15 seconds! It did take some work/time to get the tulle wrinkle free, but was a snap on my dress! I'm impressed with the ease of use, the job it does, and the quality of product. Shipping/packaging was quick and damage-free. Happy steaming! P.S. Steaming vs ironing...steaming kinda fun...ironing sucks! Ha!

Works great!
So far, I love the steamer. The one I had before didn’t work well and had a very small water tank. I’m so excited to have this one though I have only used it a few times. I had some trouble with water leaking at first, but it was because I hadn't made sure the water tank was in correctly. I used it to get wrinkles out of a comforter placing the comforter on my ironing board and it worked great. The cord isn't long enough to do it on the bed though I suspect one could use an extension cord. I'm not sure I will use it for a lot of pieces, but it works great for a couple at a time. I hang the item on a hook in my bathroom and it works well. I hope it will stand the test of time. For international travelers, you may find that your hotel or other accommodation has both 110 and 220 v. plugs. I didn't buy this steamer until I checked with Viking Cruises for an upcoming trip, and they have both. This is an honest review, not because I got free lint rollers.

Realize this is a travel model, and then not be disappointed.
It works as I expected for a travel sized unit, and it works just fine. It is a small hand held unit, so the tank is small. If you have a shirt with hard, pressed in wrinkles, expect to use the entire tank with one shirt. Pumps out a good amount of steam. The hissing noise it makes is a little high pitched (freaked out my cats), but it took the wrinkles right out of my silk shirt. If you are a person who likes super crisp, hard pressed lines, this is not for you. I like some movement in my clothes, so having a steamer to relax the wrinkles, instead of pressing my clothes to cardboard with an iron, is my preference. I'm liking it so far, if something changes drastically, I'll update.

Lots of steam, quick warm up
After a few weeks, so far It works well. I use it at home for shirts and pants. It makes a slight pulsation that you can hear and feel while it's steaming. It doesn't have the shape and feel of a tradition iron which has a handle. This item has no handle so you grasp the entire body of the unit. I suppose if you have very small, weak hands and arms that it might feel a bit heavy, but I'm an average person ans I think the shape and weight is no issue at all. The water tank needs to be removed for refilling, but it's easy and no big deal. The tank is small so I can do maybe two shirts before I start looking at the tank and seeing that it's getting low on water. I recall the instructions mention something about a water filter that might need to be replaced. I use clean (distilled) water that I get from my dehumidifier which I think might prolong the life of the unit.

IMPRESSED! And in love....
I am so surprised at this little thing. I purchased this for a quick fix to our picture day outfits since we are in the middle of moving and our steamer is packed away. This turned out to be the best steamer I have ever bought. They have thought of everything when it comes to this powerful little steamer. I was even impressed with the instruction manual. It’s perfect for traveling. And it heats up in seconds, has a travel bag, a velcro cord wrap, is not heavy on your wrist, and my FAVORITE part is that you can steam horizontally on counter or vertically on a hanger. I even pressed the seem of a pair of cuffed shorts with it. Can be used to steam one to two garments at a time before you have to fill it up again but it’s perfect for quick little fixes. I LoVE this thing!

Just bought a second one for home
I have had hit and miss experiences with steamers. I purchased this one and I have now found my favorite. I travel 75% for business and so I live out of a carry-on. This steamer is not only light weight and easily fits in my carry-on or back-back, but is so simple to use and works quickly. With having to try and figure out how to fold a suit from videos, etc. it is so much less stressful now that I can pull my suit out, regardless of how wrinkled and in 5 minutes it is ready for a client meeting or seminar.I am so happy with this, and yes it is small and times perhaps more time to use and refill, but the result is what counts. No spitting water, no 5 minute warm up, no 15 step operation. I just purchased a second one for my home, now that I have traveled with the first one for a month. I highly recommend this.
