My wife and I purchased this garment steamer approx. 2 yrs. ago and just love it. This has replaced our iron. I use this machine every morning to steam my shirts and pants to give tham that "just drycleaned" look. This machine has remeoved any smell associated with smoke, "bad cooking" and has cleaned up my car's interior in no time at all. I have even put a couple of drops of essential oil (sandalwood is my favourite) in the water to infuse that smell into anything I steam. Talk about a difference. I am always amazed at how easy it is to use and the effectivenes of the cleaning ability of this machine. I know I'll never use anything else to clean any clothing, car upholstery, drapes, coats, you name it - this machine does it.
