Customer Review

Now I've had this for 2 months and I feel like I got it down, it's about time to share my experience. I wanted a steam press iron for the longest time, but never came close to actually buying it. Reading reviews game me a second thought also, I waited too long to find out this great invention.

As many says, it is small, but once you get used to it, this size is not too bad. It would be nice to own something like what dry cleaners have, but who knows how much that would cost and I don't want to give up that much space in my house either. So, for the price, I take this size and think this is a wonderful addition to my life.

After trying a few different things along with some mistakes, I found the following things that might help others.

1. Keep your regular iron and don't throw it away. Although I barley use it now, some clothes are much easier to work with a regular iron.
2. To activate steam, press the red button on either side of the handle (took me for a while to realize it wasn't automatic)
3. Use a sprayer (included) as soon as it gets to the temperature instead of waiting for steam to be ready. You can save some energy!
4. Place a cloth over on any "printed" part. I was too lazy to do this and print got on the ironing surface and now it won't come off....
5. Use a bigger pillow than what comes with and read manual to learn how to use it. This is a very good trick that I would never thought of if I didn't read the manual (found it while searching for activating the steam). With a pillow, you can iron almost anything without pulling out your regular iron from closet. Find a bigger pillow, it saves your time that you don't have to move around so often.
6. Place clothes all the way back and pull forward as you are working. By doing this, it gets less wrinkles.
7. Don't need to buy a Steam Press Stand unless you really want it. I've read reviews and decided to use a table with fold-able legs and it works fine with me.
8. Finally, don't put it on a ironing board, instead, place it on a table and sit down on a chair. Steam Press Stand only comes in one height (have to sit down) and many people wondered why it wasn't adjustable. So, I tried both ways and found out that you have a less chance to burn your hands if you are sitting. It just gives you a better angle for your hands to access to clothes.

Disappointing product and services - Avid Reader -
I had a difficult time receiving the product, in the first place, due to the outsourcing of services connected to this particular product. Being able to communicate in English was very hard and took up a lot of extra time. That was disappointment number one. When the SteamFast SP-660 Table Top Steam Press finally arrived, it had a part missing (cup for filling water tank for steaming). I didn't bother to report it, because it had already been such a hassle and I found ways to get around it. I've had experience with the more expensive model which is an excellent product. This one looks and "feels" cheaper (and it is). It is also a bit smaller and doesn't do men's pants well. My advice is to go for the more expensive model and forget about this one. It's worth the extra money for the upgraded model.
