Conair GS4 Compact Fabric Steamer - Conair

Great Value for the Money !!!!

I love this product. It works great and is so affordable. I don't think it takes too long to heat up at all and the hose losens up after the first two uses. It is so portable that I would consider taking this on a road trip if need be. I no longer iron the old fashion way. This is so much quicker than ironing. The only thing is I wish it did work longer than 20 minutes. That is the only con I have with the product. But if you are just getting an outfit ready for work this is all you need. If you are doing more at a shot, then you will need to refill it.

Not bad for 25 bucks

Conair GS4 Compact Fabric Steamer

Previously owned another Conair steamer that was 3x's the price of this model. Loved it and owned it for over 6 years. When we needed to replace it, did not want to spend another $70. Read reviews on the GS4 and was worried about the reports of it spitting water out. Loved our prior steamer and since it was also a Conair, figured we would give it a try.

First use.....great! No problems at all.

Second use.....water was spitting all over the place. Moved the unit from the top of a dresser to the floor so that the hose was stretched out and attached to the over the door hanger (provided with the steamer) and wella.....perfect.....fixed the problem.

So.......this is a great steamer for the price and the water will not spit out if you keep the hose upright when in use.

you get what you pay for!!!!!

I researched steamers and read many reviews. I decided to purchase this one and it worked great the first time and the second time was a desaster, it drenched my clothes and my floor. I also burned my thumb. I would not recommend this steamer to anyone. :(

It does what it's supposed to

I've read some of the reviews about this product and the biggest complaint seems to be that the head sometimes gets water on the garment. I only get spots when I try and use it on something laid flat because the water condenses in the head. It will also condense in the hose and if the hose drops below the steamer it gurgles. This really is not a tabletop item, it has to be used on the floor. I've used it on just about all my cloths: khakis, polos, button-down shirts and it does a reasonably good job. If I have one complaint about it, it is that the cord is too short. and with the steamer on the floor, it will barely reach the top of an item hung using the over-the-door hook. I also wish it had a way to fill the reservoir (which is only 8 oz.) with out removing the hose. Overall, I think for the price that I paid, I got my moneys worth, after all it's just a tea kettle with a hose.

Not worth the time

This product does what it says it will do. But unfortunately it takes much more time than ironing and the water in the tank doesn't last very long. I tried steaming a cotton skirt and it took atleast 10 minutes and the wrinkles were still not completely gone. I am going to take it back to the store tomorrow.
