Compact, Does an Excellent Job.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018

I've had this for a little while now and already brought it on two vacations. It gets the job done fast and it is so easy to use. I hate ironing and this is my happy medium. I have dresses and shirts looking like I took them to the dry cleaner within minutes. I hope to own this for years to come.

Beware

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017

Taking half point because I wish it could fit more water in it. Another half because I burnt myself first time using it :) also because I wish it came with something I could lean the clothes against to. But besides those two things, it works amazingly! It's small so easy to travel with as well in case you need to retouch your travel clothing.

Update. After 6 uses, it started growing mold inside and on the ball. Tried to gently clean it, and even though not much of the mold came off I tried using it again. Then, it completely started spitting water. Threw it out. Don’t get fooled.

Well I’d like to write a review of this But I accidentally gave it away when I was sorting Christmas presents to put into tote bags that I give out to my family. The steamer was next to it and I mistakenly took it for something else and placed it in the bag! I was shocked when my niece pulled it out of the tote bag with her other gifts and said she always wanted one. So did I ;0( Gave them five stars because she says it works great.

This is such a wonderful Steamer! It is so light and easy to handle. I used to have a steamer that had a long cord that dangerously wrapped around anything nearby. It took forever for it to heat up. The Steam Genie is such a joy since it heats up so quickly. I feel so much safer using this product. The wrinkles on my clothes seemed to disappear quicker as well. It's so easy to use and so easy to store!

Low quality product. Works decent but boiling water will splash out of it if you steam too fast or rotate your hand. I burned myself twice this morning steaming one shirt... Very unhappy with the product. Spend an extra $10 for a high quality steamer that will last you a while such as conaire. I already returned my steam genie.

Good value for the money

Decent steamer for travel. Had some issues with water soaking my clothes but that was due to operator error (once I filled it beyond the max level and it sputtered out large amounts of water. The second time I tilted it too far and the hot water came pouring out).

I had a larger steamer that took out the wrinkles much faster but difference is expected since this is a travel sized one.

Great product!

Considering the compact size this steamer is great. It quickly produces lots of steam quickly does what you need it to do, remove the wrinkles. It lives in my suitcase but it almost works as well as my much bigger home steamer. A great buy for the money.

Decent little steamer for the price

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

When my younger daughter switched dance studios, we were told a requirement was to purchase a steamer for her costumes. Not having a lot of money to spend, I purchased this one based mostly on the price point and decent reviews.

As far as steaming goes, it does a decent job. I'm sure one of those large, vacuum-sized ones might be better at it, but I'm not a professional, and I really only need to use this a few times a year.

The steamer heats up quickly, so it's great in a pinch, and I can usually get at least one costume fully steamed based on the reservoir size, if not start on the next one, depending on size. And while I wish the water reservoir was larger (and the cord longer... it's often tough finding an outlet near your rack in a competition dressing room), this is a decent steamer at an ideal price point.

One caveat if you do purchase it: be sure to clean it with white vinegar fairly regularly. It can clog fairly easily from sediment left behind in the process, but this is true of all steamers from what I've seen.

Can only steam items that are vertical!

You can only steam something that is upright. The unit cannot be used to steam anything that is flat and has about 2-3 minutes of steam per use, then needs to be refilled. I bought to remove wrinkles from a comforter that I purchased. Unable to steam it while on the bed. The comforter had to be draped over a shower rod in order for me to steam it upright. Took about 5 refills just to steam the comforter. Nice that it uses tap water and steams well, but not very useful as a "quick shot" iron.

Small tank but gets the job done.

I bought thus thing to steam clothes on the go. Packing for motorcycle travel creates a lot of wrinkles. The only issue I have with this unit is that the eater tank is very small. If you have a lot of wrinkles you'll have to fill the tank several times per article.
