Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This steamer is highly regarded by my friends and I--stands a cut above the other steamers we have tried. It is more portable than a lot of other steamers as it is a bit smaller. But it does its job super well. Super great to fix last-minute wrinkles in your clothing before formal events or going to work. I pretty much do not use my iron anymore... ____________________ Update: August 25, 2015. After less than a year of occasional use, my steamer stopped working just like everyone else is saying in their reviews. I decided to try to fix it using the fix as detailed in Louis E’s super helpful Amazon review of the product. Thanks Louis E! I was able to get it back to working as if it were brand new in less than ten minutes. I was a bit hesitant to take it apart and fix it as detailed in Louis E’s instructions. I know that if I had pics of the fix, I would have been a lot more confident and a lot less hesitant to fix it. Thus, I put some pics here and hope it helps others out there in a similar situation….but first a DISCLAIMER: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. WHAT WORKS FOR ME MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIX YOUR ISSUES WITHOUT TAKING IT APART AS I DID, BUT MY UNIT WAS ONLY FIXED AFTER I DID THIS. THIS WILL PROBABLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY. 1. Take off the top panel that has the word “CONAIR” on it. I was able to quickly get it off by using a flathead screwdriver to go around the edges of the panel and unclip any clips that are holding the panel to the main unit. 2. After taking the top panel off, you should see 4 visible screws. Unscrew them using a philips head screwdriver. 3. After the screws are off, you can unclip the white panel from the blue panel that says “CAUTION: HIGH HEAT STEAM” and then slide the white panel off the main unit. 4. Using pliers, slide off the clip that is holding the tube to the pipe that is feeding into the heating plate. 5. If the clip is slid off enough, you should easily be able to slide the tube off the pipe feeding into the heating plate. 6. With a syringe (I used one that is normally used to suck boogers out of babies), I pumped water through the tube to clear any obstructions. Then, I also pumped water through the hole that the reservoir at the bottom feeds into (arrow points to this hole in my pic). Water that is pumped through this hole should easily make it to the tube at the top (the tube that you freed in step 5). 7. Do steps 1-6 in reverse to put everything back together. In less than ten minutes, I was able to get my steamer working just as it did when I bought it. Hopefully I will not have to do this too often!
