Amazon.com Review
This fabric steamer offers almost as much power as a commercial model but in a more compact shape for easier home use and storage. Equipped with an efficient 1,200-watt heater, this helpful appliance emits 20 minutes of continuous steam through high-velocity jets. The steamer safely removes wrinkles and freshens up curtains, delicate clothing, and bed linens while saving the expense and hassle of a trip to the dry cleaner. The T-shaped nozzle disperses steam in a wide path for faster de-wrinkling while the 5-foot hose and nozzle end stay comfortably cool during steaming. The fabric steamer's lightweight body weighs only 5 pounds so is easy to carry to the sink or tub to fill with water. Water level markings on the steamer's translucent blue sides show the maximum water level and when the tank needs refilling. For safety, this fabric steamer automatically shuts off when the handle is returned onto the body. For additional convenience, the fabric steamer has a 6-foot cord that wraps around the base for storage and comes with a door hook for hanging the nozzle and any garment. Conair offers a limited one-year warranty on this compact fabric steamer. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Works great December 4, 2008
This think works great. It is a little bulky and I wish the hose was just a bit longer but overall it does the job. It heats up quickly and holds enough water to get the job done.
Overall it gets an A
 Steamer Review November 10, 2008
This works great, have used it quite often since I have received it. Not expensive and a great little machine. I would recommend this before any huge big steamer that takes up space.
 Works pretty well October 30, 2008
Do I like it? Yes. Am I blown away by it? No.
It takes about 5 minutes to warm up and start producing steam. The reservoir isn't that big so it can't steam for extended periods. It's either on or off, you have no way of controlling the output of the steam besides shutting the unit completely off.
It works really well for getting mild wrinkles out of clothes. It does not replace ironing or give clothes that crisp look like they were ironed. I have found that it works well for clothes that get wrinkled hanging in my closet; it freshens them up enough to make them presentable. That's good enough for me.
For the price you can't really go wrong. I've never used any other steamer but would expect some of the nicer more expensive ones to do a better job (which is to be expected). Again, I can't say without having owned a more expensive unit, but it seems that this unit doesn't output a lot of steam (but enough to handle minor stuff), which I would expect expensive units to do. After having used this it just makes me want to upgrade to a nicer unit because I can now see the value and convenience of having a steamer. I gather that a nicer one would come closer to eliminating ironing.
instructional video manual is available for this steamer October 17, 2008

We bought this Steamer to steam our backdrops that we use for video production. It works fine but does take a while. Conair website does not have a pdf file for this steamer, so the video manual on www.HandBookLive.com is the only place to go as far as we know. The last video chapter on Maintenance has a link to the decalcification instructions that some people from FixYa site were asking about and couldn't find on Conair site.
Hope this helps!
Good steamer for the price October 7, 2008

I got this a few dollars cheaper at Target. Easy to set up, easy to use. The nozzle has a hook on the back so it can hang on the end of the over the door hook while you're taking down one garment and hanging up another. It didn't save me time on my work clothes, but they came out looking a lot better than with an iron. It saves me a LOT of time with casual clothes, though. I read a lot of reviews here about this and other steamers so I was prepared for different problems (holding the nozzle so that the condensation goes back down into the nozzle instead of on my hands, not over-filling, be careful not to steam my fingers, making sure the garment is hanging high so I don't get burned) and it worked out fine.
For pants, I hang them upside down by the cuff and steam them that way. I don't get a razor-sharp crease like I do with an iron, but this is much gentler on my clothes and the crease I get is good enough for civilian life.
I recommend this for steamer for household use. It's a good product.
*edit*
I got the Whirlpool Fabric Freshener at a steep discount for a market research study. It usually sells for $200, but I prefer the this Con-Air steamer. It's not as cool looking as the Whirlpool gadget, but it gets the wrinkles out, is easier to store, and you don't have to buy replacement parts on a regular basis. (Whirlpool recommends buying $20 water cups for the Freshener every 6 months.) I'm sticking with the Con-Air model.
To be fair, clothes do come out smelling a lot fresher from the Whirlpool product than the Con-Air, but the Whirlpool product requires distilled water and steams in an eclosed space (heavy-duty canvas) and the Con-Air doesn't. I'm sure if I started using distilled water in the Con-Air product and steaming in an enclosed space, the Con-Air would make the fabric fresher, too.
I recommend this product because it's functional, convenient, and well within my budget.
