Can this steamer be used horizontally?

Yes, it can. But you must be careful to keep your hand out of the path of the VERY HOT steam!

Yes. I am an entertainer and spend a fair amount of time on the road. A garment steamer for me is a necessity. I buy a new one every other year or so. To be honest, I have moved over to a portable steamer from Rowenta. It works better and is dual voltage. I was finding that the Sunbeams tended to leak right out of the box. I paid a little more for the Rowenta, but it works better for me. I hope this helps.

You mean like laying the garment down flat on a table/board, and doing it that way? It probably could, but the way it's built it's kind of meant to steam something that is hanging. As another person mentions, it does leak a little (which isn't that terrible of an annoyance) and the key is to keep your hand out of the way of the steam. That would probably be minimized by using it upright.

I think it would be very impractical. This is a traditionally shaped iron and it is heavy... which is great for traditional ironing or the kind of pressing I do with sewing garments. I love it. But, it would NOT occur to me to use it for vertical steaming.

Probably horizontally only, but not stable and is made of a soft rubbery material that melts in strong sun. Would not recommend.

I just tried it and it is perfect. Mine are hung vertically and the hats overlap just enough to make it interesting. Don't know how it would work horizontally.

They do make a horizontal version as well. The horizontal version should fit easily in your space.

It probably could be mounted horizontally if you had to, but I don't think it would be advisable. THere is a large metal disk on the underside that supports the roll. This would look weird when the roll is less than half full. There are other better models to mount horizontally.

'Working' will be location by location. Could certainly work horizontal but key is to place where your particular reception is best... Hope this helps?

I have used mine horizontally a few times. I noticed that you need all the surface area of the magnetic base to hold or it will pull up and move.

You can only hang it horizontally, but you can use it any way you want. It doesn't have to be hung

I have never tried to install in vertically only horizontally so I am afraid I don't know the answer to your question

Yes vertical, horizontally-only if the locking mechanism is in line with the mouth piece straw.

Yes, it can be placed vertically or horizontally. If you place it horizontally it makes it a little harder to turn the adjustment knob. Just set if before you put it in the tank.

I actually discovered after my initial reply that it can be used either horizontally or vertically. It's a great case....you should go for it.

It can be used either way. I prefer horizontal. I did have one that snapped the clip off. However it was after it had a pretty good lick causing the clip to pop off.

you could install this filter in the horizontal, but all of the water will pour out of the canister when you change the filter.

Actually yes, you can, though for large jobs, you'd want a steamer made specifically for that purpose. There's an extra long steam hose made for the i500s and larger, specifically for vertical steaming, so if you plan to do large vertical jobs and pressing, the i500 might be a better fit.

I don't see any reason why you could not lay the organizer down and use it horizontally
