Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought a couple of these for my company (children's formalwear rental) to spiff up clothes before sending them out. They worked so well, I ended up getting one for myself to use at home.
This product is fantastic, and it has almost completely replaced the need to ever get out the iron and ironing board. Dress shirts can be pressed extremely quickly -- I can do a dress shirt (front left, front right, left arm, right arm, back) in under 30 seconds). Slacks are even faster.
I generally don't need steam, except on linen items, but it's always available with the buttons located on either side of the handle (nice, since you don't have to use a particular hand to open and close the presser top). Also ameliorating the need for steam is that I've learned to take things out of the dryer still just slightly damp, press them, and then let them hang dry. Doing it that way has all but eliminated the need to send stuff to the dry cleaners, saving me a TON of money while giving me the same crisp look.

I never thought ironing could be fun. This is great and it really can give you the same level of pressing that you get from the cleaners.Customer Review: Well Worth the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. The surface where the clothes lay on never gets too hot, unless the lower steamer is applied, which this produce does not have. I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?
This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well. It saves time in pressing, but you need to know the techinques to position the shirts and pants so that you'll get nice creases. Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser. Steam does not come out from the pressing pad.
In order to block sweaters, position the sweater so that it is flat and then lower the pressor lid to 'almost' touching the sweater and let the sweater steam a few seconds. You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. Next, move sweater around and repeat until entire sweater has been steam blocked.
Customer Review: Wow....what a difference
Summary: 4 Stars
Wow what a difference! Love this product. I'm a single man who never got the hang of regular ironing so I ended up sending most of my laundry to the cleaners. Not anymore....I bought the fabric steam press when the quality of my shirts coming back from the cleaners took a noticable turn for the worse, i.e. odd wrinkle patterns and broken buttons. I thought I would give a steam press a try since I had a read a review on how these types of pressers were definitely a cut above a regular iron. The Steam Fast wasn't my first choice..that was an Elna but I couldn't find a distributor for it and I really didnt want to spend the $800 it would have cost me. The Steam Fast was the right price on Amazon ( $230) so I bought it. I followed the rather sketchy instructions which came with it and lo-and-behold it works great. Shirts take almost no time...I just finished doing 5 shirts (cotton and linen) in less than 20 minutes and they look great. The digital controls are very easy to understand, it heats up quickly, and so far the steam is working great. I even end up doing some laundry I would never think of ironing before like my dish clothes which always come out of the dryer looking like SharPei puppies. I definitely would recommend Steam Fast Fabric Steam Press...I hate to admit it but I sort of enjoy the whole process of ironing now and I'm saving $2+ on each shirt and they look great now.
