Jiffy Steamer J-2000M Jiffy Garment Steamer with Metal Steam Head, 120 Volt, beige

I bought the Jiffy Garment Steamer with the metal steam head and glad I did. The metal steam head helps to rid wrinkles better than plastic. I've had a plastic head steamer once before. This product is very well made and made in the USA. I like that. It helps if you have something like the Jiffy Steamer Steamboard so that you can press the clothing onto a hard cloth surface but they are fairly expensive. TIP: I have my ironing board hung on a door so what I do is use a hanger and hang my clothing in a way that it can be pressed against the hanging ironing board. It works quite well. Any steamer is not going to give the same results on cotton as an iron but it does a great job on blends, polyester, jersey, crepe etc and it does it quickly. It also heats up quickly. I emailed Jiffy with questions before I purchased and here are the answers to my questions: 1. Will the metal steam head ever rust? 2. What it is made of? 3. Is the metal head ok for delicate fabrics like silk? 4. If I use distilled water, will that prevent build up in the tank and head and would I still need a liquid cleaner? 5. Could I use CLR instead of your product to clean the tank? "The metal will not rust. It is aluminum and any moisture that comes through the head is hot and will evaporate. The metal works great on delicate fabrics. If you are steaming silk, you may want to consider putting a stocking/panty hose over the head to prevent and water droplets from getting on the fabric. Distilled water will help prolong the calcium build up put will not prevent it. You will definitely need to clean it at least once every 6 months with our cleaner. I have heard our technicians say there is something in CLR that can hurt the element so I wouldn’t use it. You may use white vinegar and water every 3 months for maintenance. This will help tremendously."

This is my second garment steamer. Overall, I like it a lot. Time will tell if it is worth the high price. Looks: It actually looks better than I expected. I thought it looked ugly in the picture, which is partly why I didn't buy it before. I was pleasantly surprised when I took it out of the box though. It looks nicer than expected. Size: It has a smaller footprint than my old Steamfast steamer, so it takes up less space. Quality: The steamer seems to be sturdily built and so far I have not had any issues with water leaking out. Garment Pole: The pole included with the Jiffy is about a foot too short. I'm 5'7", so taller people will really have a problem with it. Luckily, I still had the pole from my old steamer, so I used it instead. It fit perfectly and now the pole is about a foot taller and seems about right. Strap: I wish it had a strap to help move it across the carpet. My old steamer had a strap that let me easily carry it. This one you either have to pull by the pole or bend down and push it. It's not a huge issue, but would be nice to have. Steam: Steam is steady and seems to be about the right amount. I didn't quite fill up the water container and have not needed to add more over two steaming sessions. Metal Head: I debated about this a lot before purchasing. My old steamer had a plastic head and worked fine, but I thought the metal head might work more like an iron. I decided to spend the extra money to try it. I don't think you could go wrong with either plastic or metal, but I do think the metal head works slightly better than my old plastic one did. The metal doesn't seem heavy to me either. I'm using only distilled water this time around hoping that this steamer will last a few years. If so, it will be worth the money. If not, I may switch to a cheaper steamer and plan on buying a new one every couple of years.

Perfect way to minimize dry cleaning visits and keeping my suits looking pressed. Requires an initial learning curve to adapt from traditional ironing but in the end very good. Hose is too short (I am 6'3") and often requires me to sit down on a stool to reach the right levels - and you will most certainly need an oven mitt. Takes a little adjustment to get the right positioning on how to manipulate the steam head against your clothes. But once you get past the initial change, you become appreciative of how much it expedites the whole ironing process. Also great on old hats, sheets and anything not requiring a crisp crease. Between my pants presser and this steamer I have managed to reduce my dry cleaning costs in half - paid for itself within the first month. Refilling is easy and it lives comfortably in the closet which makes rolling it out for a quick pressing a snap. Had problems with my first order from Amazon - the Warehouse sent the plastic steam head even though I ordered and paid for the metal head. They refused to honor the metal head price, and their remedy was to cancel that order and I ended up paying significantly more to get the ordered metal steam head; only not from the warehouse. Other reviewers have noted it is important to get the metal head - with the heat generated from this little machine, I agree it is much wiser to stick with metal. This was another warehouse mistake (seems to be all to common) and does not detract from the quality of the machine itself. Luckily, Amazon itself (not Amazon Warehouse) has always come through as an excellent resource. All in all, a very good product that is well made and functions as advertised. Recommend to anyone who wears dress clothes everyday and needs something to cut back on the weekly dry cleaning costs. Your clothing will appreciate the natural steam method and your wallet will benefit from the reduced overhead.

The J-2000M Jiffy Garment Steamer with Metal Steam Head is a powerhouse when it comes to delivering effective steaming for clothes. Without a doubt, it steams exceptionally well, effortlessly tackling wrinkles and leaving clothes looking fresh. However, for some users, it might be considered overkill, especially if steaming is only an occasional need. One downside is the price. It's a bit on the expensive side, and while it's undoubtedly a quality product, the cost might make it less accessible for those on a tight budget. That said, if you can afford the splurge, the performance justifies the price. But, for budget-conscious individuals, there are alternatives around $40 that offer 95% of the effectiveness. In the end, it boils down to whether you're willing to invest in the premium features or prefer a more budget-friendly option that still gets the job done admirably.

I rarely write reviews, but I’m blown away by the irresponsibility of this company. I recently received this steamer and it did not work, despite the fact that the unit was getting warm. I reviewed the company’s website and the troubleshooting guide, each of which identified potential causes that were not present with my unit. Customer service is open only for very limited hours, so I was unable to reach them initially. I let the unit run for a few hours, thinking perhaps it takes very long for the unit to heat up. Still nothing worked. When I was finally able to get through to customer service, I was appalled to hear that from the company representative that units were shipped out with a known defect regarding the cap of the water tank. In other words, the unit heats, but no water leaves the tank. Their proposed “solution” was to mail me a new cap (and who knows when that will arrive). To begin with, this is not a sufficient solution given that, as the company prominently warns, when the unit is run without water, there is damage caused to the heating element. More importantly, this functional issue strikes me as a major fire hazard. I find it beyond belief that the company hasn’t attempted to recall units that it admitted knowing were defective, or even publicize the issue on its website. Instead, they are simply waiting for customers to call them. This is an unacceptable situation and I’d warn other potential purchasers to be very careful, lest someone is seriously hurt.

100% Fabulous. I researched every brand I could find on the internet and read all Amazon user reviews. This was the hands down winner, and I have not been disappointed. It produces copious steam without spitting as long as you follow directions. The model I have has a metal head with a wooden grip to prevent burning your hands. The metal makes the steamer head heavier than plastic; so if arm strength is an issue, plastic would probably be better, especially if you plan to do a lot of steaming all at once. I steam 5-6 items at one time and am not too weak; so the metal steamer head is fine for me. If I planned to steam for hours on end, it might be tiring though. The info states that the metal head combined with the steam works almost like a steam iron. Sort of true, but you have to have a strong backing against which you can apply pressure from the metal head. All the things the company prints is true without exaggeration. It is a well-manufactured piece of quality equipment, made in the USA. Yes, it is more expensive than almost all others, most of them made in China, but it is well worth the price. If any part needs replacement, you will be able to find it on the Jiffy website. You can even send it to their factory for repairs if needed. Most other steamers have no replacement parts, products or places to repair them. If you use tap water to fill the reservoir, eventually you will need a product to remove the calcium deposits which will clog the machine. This is what happened to my first and last non-Jiffy steamer. I did everything to fix it and couldn't. Now I am using distilled water in the Jiffy though the company says I don't have to. To me it is worth the tiny extra cost for never having buy or make a cleaning product or spend the extra time to decalcify it. In conclusion, I thought about buying Jiffy's professional steamer, but decided it was overkill for my home use, and I am glad I did. The differences are minor and may be disadvantageous for anyone but pros who steam all day long. If you are planning to steam drapes, the hose may not be long enough, unless you find a way to hoist the entire machine so that the hose may reach 8-10 feet high.

I wanted a steamer because i was never a fan of ironing and dry cleaning is expensive. After i purchased this i thought maybe it was overkill, but i'm glad i bought it. I use it weekly to steam my clothes for work . I like that steaming is gentler on your clothes and extends the wear of clean garments between washes. I decided on the J-2000 based on other reviews that said it was well made and would last a long time compared with similar products - i think that is accurate. The standup hook is v helpful and you can unscrew it for storage. The unit is on wheels so easy to maneuver. It does not have an automatic shutoff but has an on/off switch with a light. The steamer heats up in about 30 seconds, so easy to add into your morning routine for last minute wrinkle removal. i bought the metal head and think it's worth the cost for superior materials. I noticed some reviewers that said they run the steamer until it's dry. I was concerned about leaving hot water in the machine between uses and thought this might be a good idea to reduce mildew. However, i looked up the recommendation from Jiffy and they say DON'T DO THAT but instead to replace the water weekly, so now that is what i do. i leave it half full so it's ready to go whenever i need to remove wrinkles, and i change out the water regularly. I also bought the jiffy cleaner and the ove glove. i have not used either yet. when i use the steamer i am just careful not to burn myself. i probably wouldn't buy the glove again unless i was going to steam a lot of stuff - but maybe i'll rethink that if i get a burn...

After moving from a house to apartment, we rely mostly on a portable washing machine and hand drying clothes. The biggest downside is that we can't pull clothes out of the dryer early to avoid wrinkles. The Jiffy garment steamer works really well and is solidly built. I'm not usually excited by housekeeping but found steaming to be enjoyable in a meditative way. We bought the version with the metal nozzle. To address downsides in other reviews: 1) The tubes get hot but they do not burn you and you'll quickly learn to avoid them. 2) Gloves are needed to prevent scalding your hands. This too will go away after getting used to it. I ordered gloves that came a few days later and will return unopened them since I switch hands frequently and want the better dexterity. 3) Tube not long enough. I folded my husband's pants in half lengthwise and hung on a skirt hanger and it worked fine. I'm a firm believer in buying quality and keeping it a long, long time. Also, the well made machine is easier to use so you'll use it more frequently.

Excelente producto, como siempre, es la 2da. que compro.

Amazing. Don’t waste your money on professional rowenta models. I’ve had two 1550W Professesional dreamers that broke after a year of daily use. Piece of crap. This Jiffy on the other hand is incredible. Think: Rowenta 1550 = A professional like Trump Jiffy = actually does what is intended and expected each and every time

worst experiance with this order item ...

This garment steamer heats up very quickly. It takes less than a minute for it to produce steam for me. However, I am not sure if the amount and type of water in the reservoir will have an impact. I use distilled water and I don't put too much water inside the reservoir because I don't want too much water sitting inside for too long. I decided to use distilled water to save time and money cleaning a clogged steamer. I chose the version with the metal steam head for better durability and results. In my opinion, a metal steam head will perform better than a plastic steam head because the metal steam head can serve as a hybrid iron. But I admit that it is just my opinion and I have no evidence to back it up. This steamer works very well with my cotton t-shirts and polo shirts. It only takes me around a minute to remove the wrinkles from a cotton t-shirt or polo shirt. It was not as effective with my linen shirts although it still does a decent job of removing wrinkles on linen. However, I don't blame the steamer because linen naturally wrinkles very easily. Using this steamer on a linen shirt removes enough wrinkles to make my linen shirts wearable. It takes me between one to two minutes to steam linen shirt so it's not bad. The hose gets a bit hot even if I am only using the steamer for less than five minutes. It is not hot enough to cause serious burns but I usually steam my clothes just before wearing them so I cannot speak for prolonged usage. The steamer comes with a pole as shown on the pictures on Amazon. That is where you can keep the steamer head when the steamer is not in use. It also doubles as a place where you can hang your clothes while steaming. This steamer is relatively light and does not take up too much space. It has wheels to increase its portability. Moreover, it comes with a wrench that you can use while assembling the steamer. I really like that the steamer has a magnet so it can be stored underneath the steamer. This is a very convenient storage option. The steamer is also very easy to assemble and comes with instructions. Jiffy offers various steamer heads for different purposes, making this steamer very versatile. Finally, I was able to register my steamer with Jiffy for warranty purposes even if I live in Canada. You can do it by sending an email to Jiffy's customer service team and they will register the product for you. You may visit Jiffy's website to see their updated contact details.
