Sunbeam 1200W Power Steam Handheld Steamer for Clothes, Extra Burst of Steam Feature, 30-Second Fast Heat-Up, Bristle Brush Attachment, White and Blue Finish

No Leaking, Powerful, and Extra Fabric Settings
The main purpose for which I purchased this was to get wrinkles out of some blackout curtains that hadn’t fallen out on their own for more than 6 months (I guess they never would have). This steamer did an excellent job on the lowest steam setting and probably could have done it even faster on a higher setting, but I didn’t want to risk damaging the cloth. Before purchasing, I did a good amount of research, and while I’m confident I could have done the job with something maybe half the price, I really wanted something that had the capability of handling everything from light to heavy duty – and wouldn’t leak water all over my hardwood flooring in the process. This Sunbeam Professional Steamer is one of the more powerful handheld models I found, has 5 settings (including 1 dry mode, and 4 steam modes), Comes with 1 upholstery and 1 delicate fabric ‘bonnet’, an 8’ cord (I used a heavy duty extension cord for anything beyond that reach), a non-leaking reservoir and pump system, and an excellent nonstick face that can be used vertically or horizontally. So far I have put this to use on 12 curtain panels, one skirt (my wife’s), and one neck-tie, and it’s done an amazing, quick and efficient job on each (and no leaks)!Now for some criticisms/gripes:1) It is a little heavy for extended use, but I expected that. This isn’t so much a gripe or a criticism, I guess, but more of an observation for those with limited arm strength.2) while the bonnets are good and useful tools, the condensation that forms on them, does begin to drip fairly quickly. The machine itself isn’t leaking, it’s simply the condensation on the accessory bonnets. Once you remove them, the dripping will cease! If your application and environment won’t be harmed, the bonnets are still excellent tools to use. I did want to note that this would be an issue for any brand of steamer that uses bonnets and is not a particular problem with this model. The bonnets are optional, so I simply took the delicate fabric bonnet off to protect my floors and continued on without further trouble.3) The design of the water reservoir could have been better in terms of removal from the machine. When you press the release button, the reservoir needs to be pulled forward to be released. However, there really isn’t much on the reservoir to hold onto in order to get it off. What I am doing, is with the steamer off and facing me, I am pushing the release button and pulling on the reservoir’s edge just under that release button. It does the job, but just seems more difficult than it should be. This is the one design flaw that I feel needs be addressed on the next iteration without question. For now, I have some rubberized grip tape that I may install, to create a couple gripping surfaces on the sides of the tank to aid in removal.4) When putting the reservoir back onto the machine, the tank needs to be aligned top and bottom and then pressed straight in. This is not a problem and isn’t difficult. If, however, you don’t press the tank inward with a positive, purposeful motion, you’ll end up getting a little leakage in the process. I simply make sure to reinstall the tank over the counter or sink or anything else I don’t mind getting a few drops of water on. No biggie! The machine goes right back to normal and doesn’t leak in use.4) Probably my second biggest gripe next to the reservoir removal issue! I’d really have liked Sunbeam to have included some type of reusable box like the one Electrolux provides with some of their models. The only box you get is standard cardboard and without re-inserting the cardboard shipping supports, the whole thing just kinda flops around inside. The Electrolux has a decent box designed for storage rather than the recycling bin – I wish Sunbeam had been as thoughtful. This isn’t a deal breaker, but I see this (and the reservoir issue) as real areas of opportunity for an otherwise excellent product.Sunbeam has a real winner in the making and certainly an excellent product as is! Since this is only my 2nd day of ownership, my long term review will have to wait. I will post any pertinent updates as and if they arise, for now, I can honestly say, that knowing the several other sunbeam products I own and my experience thus far, I have no reservations in recommending this product to anyone looking for quality and versatility in a larger more powerful handheld steamer.

Heats up Quickly!
I love this product and it works fantastic! It removes wrinkles quickly and easily. Very happy I made this purchase.

Do NOT recommend
I bought this to replace my previous Sunbeam steamer — I used the previous one several times a week. It was fast, powerful & reliable — fast enough to take wrinkles out of anything when in a rush to dress for work. I only had to replace it because I had dropped it and broke part of the tank head, my bad.The previous one was maybe $40 on Amazon.The listed product is half that and had good ratings, so I gave it a try. It is NOT reliable — it broke/stopped steaming within months. Even when working, it was awful. SLOW to heat, minimal steam, no pressure, and no adjustable settings, ran out of pressure quickly.So less than 9 months later, I’m back on Amazon looking to find the more expensive model to replace it. Save your money: buy the more expensive one that actually works.

Steamer. Powerful
This is really a great steamer I use it my drapes

Mi esposo lo usa de modo horizontal, evita que la ropa se manche por quemadura de plancha convencional, la carga de agua rinde para un par de prendas, quita arrugas de ciertas telas, no en muy gruesas. Es buen producto.
