I am looking for a travel steamer that can unwrinkle a silk suit - would you recommend this one?

My wife has used this on silk blouses and it worked well but we have not tried on silk suit.

This steamer will do the job. It has a couple down falls....there is not an on/ off switch and when the water runs out you have to wait for the heating element to cool down before you can refill it. However this unit is the perfect size for traveling.

Have used it several times and found it as advertised. Remember, we're talking about a hand held small steamer, not an iron.

Provided the counter is constructed of thick heavy plastic, I am relatively certain it would work for touch-ups or ironing just one garment. However, I wouldn't advise using steam full throttle for very long for obvious reasons. Hope this is helpful.

It does make the clothes unwrinkled and smooth but if you are looking for the starchy appearance with creases, this does not look like that. Only an iron can do that.

i've tried it before. sometimes it works - sometimes it drips water because the head of the steamer istoo low. if there was a way that someone could hold the comforter vertical while you steamed it would probably work better. personally, i'd take it to a laundromat - lightly dampen the fabric (if it's ok with water) and tumble it for about 10 minutes. i haven't been to a laundromat in decades, but i remember thattheir dryers were much larger than a household dryer.

Yes, it has worked well for me. It is made very well and is very thick. I use the heaviest steam setting and typically iron for an hour or more and this has never been an issue for me.

Hi Larena. I don't know about the other steam cleaner that is on Amazon. You might ask someone who bought it what they thought about it. I can only tell you that the Steamfast will not do the job. Good luck in your search. I hope you find something that works for you.

No, but if your looking for a professional steamer that's portable... This is the best out there.

Excellent steamer for t-shirts and jersey knit materials but not specially a cleaner,but makes most items wrinkle free or odor free (as to prolong dry cleaning process). I used this item mostly for new brought items to kill any germs that might be in items from persons trying items on.

Aren't garment steamers much more gentle than the steam blast this machine produces? I would be very careful about using this machine as a garment steamer.

The instructions indicate that you should not use it like an iron. The garment / fabric is supposed to hang from a hanger and you pull the fabric toward you and steam it. I'm assuming that you want to use it on upholstered furniture. If so, I think you can, but the handle will probably leak. The one negative about this steamer is that the hose is short for doing drapes. I purchased the longest hose they sell and I had to sit the device on a table to steam my drapes at the top. This advice was actually given to me by their customer service. If you're going to hang the upholstery, steaming a large piece of fabric won't be easy. For most people, there's no place to hang a large piece of fabric on each end.

You don't want use it for dress shirts and pants.. A steam pro station much better for that like a Rowenta Pro Precision. I use the rotary iron for high volume of bedding, table cloths, napkins which it is so great for. Hope this helps you ....

It hasa garment steamer attachment however you might have to cover it with a towel due to drippage. I use it primarily fit my furniture. I work in human service and we geta lot of bug scares... Works great! I haven't had any, I can't say the same for coworkers.

Yes, I'd think so, although I haven't tried it on silk. I have used it on other delicate items. You can control the heat/ steam exposure of course by just moving it back from the material.

Ask manufacturer, I don't know. It get plenty hot to do wrinkled cotton and steam works great!

I like the Oreck Steam-It. It does a good job and the floors dry very quickly. I am not too crazy about having to wash the pad that you use but you can cut up old towels and throw it away after using.

I believe it had a one year warranty...but for an item that is only in the $20 range, it is not worth my time or effort to package it, ship it. I just pitched it in the trash and bought an upright steamer from Sears. This little steamer might be ok for occasional travel use, but I would not recommend it for daily use.
