Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Pro-Line Commercial Garment Steamer
Customer Review: Better than ironing, but takes planning
Summary: 4 Stars
The unit works as advertised on my button-down shirts and sure beats ironing. The unit can take a while to produce steam (depending on how much water you have in the tank), so you won't be using this 5 minutes before you have to leave the house. Additionally, shirts need to be left to dry a little right after steaming, otherwise you will wrinkle them immediately upon wearing. However, if I make the time to wash and hang a few loads of shirts, I can steam them all very quickly with this unit, which is nice.
Bottom line: Not good for individual shirts here and there, but awesome for batching a bunch at once. Also, proper technique can take some time, but then you can work quickly.
Customer Review: Great Steamer
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this product. The only drawback is that it takes roughly 20-30 minutes to warm up. It's not a device you can use right before work. It works great when I do have the time. I'm glad I purchased the more expensive commercial model because the I don't get some of the problems with dripping water as with some of the less powerful home devices. The one think you really need to be careful with the steam because it gets everywhere. I found a couple of oven mitts extremely helpful while steaming clothing. I agree this sounds rediculous but if anyway has a better suggestion, let me know.Customer Review: works well
Summary: 4 Stars
I use the Jiffy steamer j-4000 for clothing in my store. The clothes are all organic cotton, bamboo, hemp and hemp-silk blends. It works great for everything except the hemp and silk blends. For some reason, silk seems to be resistant to anything except an iron for getting the wrinkles out. If you're using this product for anthing but silk - go for it.... it's great. Just be careful, as it gets hot enough to cause burns if you don't move your hands quickly in tight places like pants legs.
Customer Review: Good, but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
The Jiffy steamer works well on linen and shirts with a lot of hard-to-iron detail, but this is not a replacement for your iron. If you are tall, you will bend over a lot to reach the bottoms of pants, etc. that hang while you steam. Also, this is very hard to use without a steam board to push against. But there is a lot of steam and it is very hot, so drapes, linens, etc. are quick work with this steamer.Customer Review: Happy with this steamer
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the Jiffy steamer to replace my old steamer that leaked and finally stopped working. So far I've been happy with the Jiffy. It has a preheat switch that can be turned on and as soon as the light is off, the steamer is ready to be used. I just wish the preheat process can be faster. Currently it takes up to 10 minutes.
