| I am so happy I read other reviews on this product and made the decision to purchase it. I would highly recomend this to anyone that is looking for a steamer. If you are looking to freshen up or get those hanger marks out of your clothes, this is the steamer for you. I had a pair of cotton pants folded in a pile, they looked pretty bad and I tried the steamer on them and all the fold marks came out with ease!! Really worth the money spent. |

"Great at gettng rid of wrinkles, but not sturdy" | 2008-08-26 |
| - Reviewed By emmccann |
I am a stylist and use this to steam clothing for photo shoots. It works great on all fabrics, I use it for denim, silk, satin, cotton, nylon, ect. The only thing that bothers me is that it is very unstable. We have two and one constantly leaks water all over the floor because it has fallen over multiple times. If the garment that you are steaming is too heavy then the steamer may fall over. Also, the pole to hang the clothes on becomes loose after doing the front and turning the garment to steam the back. The pole is only one height which makes it complicated to steam floor length gowns.
If anyone has trouble getting wrinkles out, try steaming from the inside of the garment. If there are still wrinkles then they are probably permanent. I've had knitted t-shirts that still have faint wrinkles after multiple steams, it probably has something to do with the production of the garment, not the steamer.

"Works well for many fabrics, but not all" | 2008-07-30 |
| - Reviewed By electriccafe2 |
I've used a hand-held steamer in the past, back when I had lots more polyester clothing ;) For many synthetics like that and nylon, thin silks, etc. it will take 100% of the wrinkle out, no problem. Even does well with thick synthetic blend khakis.
For coarser or natural fabrics, like cotton shirts, etc. you'll manage to soften some of the wrinkle but not get rid of them.. good enough for a casual work day for example, but nowhere near as neat as ironing.
The Jiffy is pretty convenient because its always standing there and all you need to do is hit a switch; steam comes forth after a very short wait. On the other hand my ironing table and iron are tucked out of the way so if clothing can be steamed I can do it in a 'Jiffy' :) |

"Great steamer but it needs to stand taller" | 2008-07-26 |

This is a super steamer that does the job quickly. My problem is I am tall and I need the clothes to hang higher than this will allow. Any solution?

"6 out of 10 wrinkles removed!!!" | 2008-07-15 |
| - Reviewed By mrsmoothiepants |
| I'm not sure if the steamer works well because this is my first one. I might not even be any good at steaming because I can't seem to make my clothes look smooth and I keep burning my fingers. The unit, although easy to put together is a monster in the closet. It takes up most of the space in there. The rod doesn't seem to hold the hanger all that well and I feel like I'm chasing my clothes all around it while burning not only my finger, but also my legs because of the super stiff hot hose. I only wish I hadn't thrown out the original box, because I can't return it now. |

"Great steamer." | 2008-07-14 |

| I'm a steamer fan, and this one works quickly and well. My only complaint is that it's so tall. I've had steamers in the past where the pole telescoped down to a more inconspicuous height. That said, this one is ready to go very quickly and emits the appropriate amount of steam, making for speedy and effective use. |

"Excellent and its made in the USA!!!" | 2008-07-09 |

This J-2000 is a very solid, appliance. I was very impressed at the quality of the materials when I unpacked the unit. Solid case, thick hose and very nice Aluminum hang bar. It works great. AGAIN, this is not an iron so do not compare it to an iron. It steams great and works almost like an iron. We looked at a lot of different makes and models and they were all pretty cheap. Looked at the reviews here on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. We are very pleased, and even more so since it is actually made here in the good old USA!!! Another great reason to buy (I do not work for Jiffy, I promise).

"spray water bottle is easier" | 2008-07-04 |
| - Reviewed By User: A29YYB9YVKV7U2 |
| This machine puts out a lot of steam. I gave it four stars because the hanger pole is a little too short. (and I'm not a tall person) Other than that, it is very good. However, I have gone back to my iron for pants and cotton shirts. The iron does a better job faster. I also use a fine-mist water bottle for all of my not so permanent press items. I just place them on a hanger, mist, and let them dry. It is fast, easy, cheap and much cooler. I'll probably keep my steamer to use when removing wallpaper. |
