Side by Side Comparison of: Pure Enrichment vs Grandma's Secret vs Downy vs SHINE HAI

First of all it's a very compact, small little device, that's quickly and easily set up. The top twists on and off with a locking feature and is very secure while being very easy to twist. People with hand issues shouldn't have much trouble with removing the nozzle in order to fill it. The reservoir is small enough that it should fit under the faucet of your bathroom sink no problem. We have fairly shallow sinks and I was able to fill it without an issue. The opening is large and easily filled without spilling water all over the steamer. Do note, however, that due to it's very compact size you will only be able to put enough water in it to one garment at a time.The unit heats up quickly (under 2 minutes) and makes a little gurgling noise that will let you know that it's ready. There was not a lot of visible steam coming from it, but it steamed up the mirror above my vanity and I knew it was ready. Steaming was easy, though I did have to hold it very close, if not on the shirt. I was able to "press" a nice crease in the silk fabric very easily. Steaming the very bottom of the shirt was a little difficult just because it was hard to hold tension on it while it was hanging without burning my fingers from the steam. The steam is hot, however, I feel that it was a little conservative (likely to prevent people from burning themselves) I would have appreciated it being a little hotter, because it think it would have helped the process move a little more quickly. I did have to go over some more wrinkled areas a few times to get the wrinkles out. Overall, though, wrinkles came out of the shirt fairly quickly and very easily. Just a tip: Hold it very close, possibly touching the garment, for best results.Just know -- this is NOT an iron. You're of course going to get better results with an iron. But for materials that you don't want to risk scorching, or just because who wants to drag out the iron and ironing board at 5 in the morning, this is a great alternative. I was able to steam the wrinkles out of this silk shirt in about 2-3 minutes - way less than the time it would have taken me to set up an ironing board and iron. I also used this little steamer to fix a scrunched up tassel necklace. Worked super quickly (like 10 seconds) and my necklace is like brand new!All in all: A great little steamer. Super convenient to have on hand for quick de-wrinkling jobs. Works very well and will keep you from those lazy morning wrinkles. Tank is small (though on purpose) and steam is not as hot as I would like, perhaps, but is hot enough to press a crease in light fabrics such as silk. Great little addition to your clothing care arsenal!

I purchased this Pure Enrichment Fabric Steamer because it looked so high quality. I have bought similar products before and have never been satisfied. I am so pleased with this purchase I made because the product exceeded my expectations. It performs very well and is constructed with quality materials. I did not think these types of products worked, always used an iron and board but I am never going back. "once you go PureSteam you never go back". I will be definitely buying more in the future and will also recommend friends and family to buy this product. It has only been a few days since I use it but so far I do not have any complaints. The product was also very well packaged which protected it from shipping and handling damages. I received this amazing product at no cost or at a discounted price for my unbiased and honest review and also based on first hand usage. My opinions and views are solely mine and I have no influence on how this item was purchased. I will always give my honest opinions on a product since I believe it helps the manufacturers and distributors to make a better product in the future. Hopefully this review has helped you and I wish you good luck with this product.

I bought this fabric steamer after purchasing several new blouses for work in addition to my upcoming wedding. This steamer emits a pressured steam which, when held close to the fabric, instantly melts away any crease or wrinkle. I was so impressed with how well this little steamer works. This steamer is so small you can throw it in your suitcase and bring it with you! I'm glad I had this steamer on my wedding day as it worked wonders steaming out any creases that happened on my flight over to the wedding as the dress was stored in a garment bag. I also brought this steam with me on my honeymoon and used it to straighten out a few blouses while traveling. Highly recommend.

I experienced problems with this unit three of the four times that I have used it. In one case, I left it to heat and returned to find it sitting in a pool of water. The other two times it shot out very hot water which landed about two feet away from where I was, properly, using it. I am returning what is clearly a defective unit and I am annoyed that I will have to pay the postage. I will avoid this seller in the future. Regarding the product, I am unwilling to take a second chance on it.Updated 9/4/15: I was contacted by the manufacturer regarding the review above. They were concerned that I had received a defective product (When was the last time that you have heard of a manufacturer doing that?). They sent me a replacement product that arrived three days ago. Again, I have used it four times, but the results have differed significantly. I have had no problems and it easily removed the wrinkles from the two blouses and two pairs of slacks that I used it on. Love the manufacturer, still don't like the seller.

I'm past my return window or this would be going back. I liked it at first but now whenever I use it, the water gets so hot it boils out of the steam vents all over the clothes I'm steaming or onto the floor or wherever the nozzle is pointing. It was not over filled! In fact, I tried pouring most of the water out and it still happens. What a mess to clean up when I'm only steaming as a time saver over ironing anyway - and then I couldn't even wear the item I was steaming because it was soaked in the areas where the scalding water had shot onto it. I'm truly disappointed. Wish I could even exchange it - bummer.2/12/15 - update: After leaving the review above, I was immediately contacted by the seller and offered a replacement unit. I accepted, received it within a week, used it this morning and am happy. It is first-rate customer service in this day and age to have any seller give a hoot about a bad review not to mention have their policy reflect courtesy and promptness. Most importantly, the replacement product works just fine. All things considered the best way to go is to not have defective products at all, but nothing is perfect, and the way they handled the situation was quite satisfactory. So I'm leaving my one-star rating, hoping any consumer in a similar situation will read and know they'll be taken care of. Also in hopes that a consumer even considering purchasing this product will see that even if the unit they order is a defective one, they'll be treated respectfully and fairly in the returns process. For the record, this steamer (the replacement unit that works properly) gets 5 stars. ;)

I love this steamer! It is perfect for steaming one or two shirts when I am on the go. I was skeptical as many steamers I saw on Amazon have various reviews, but so far, anytime I have used this steamer the wrinkles just fall out! The steam starts going in a few minutes, there hasnt been any water spewing out, and the steamer itself is very light and easy to hold while steaming. This is so much more convenient than getting out the ironing board, iron, etc. All I do is fill it up with water out of the sink, plug it up, and literally two minutes later its ready to steam. Wish I would have purchased this years sooner.Update: As I looked through my orders to purchase another one of these for travel, I cannot believe it's been a year since I've had this thing (purchased in Jan 2015). From using it 3-4 times a week -it's still running perfectly, and its such a convenient size it fits nicely under my bathroom cabinet. Best purchase ever.

This stuff is fantastic. It's always out of stock at my local stores so I ordered it here. I've been able to remove stains from clothing that has been there for over s year with this tiny bottle. I will definitely recommend Grandmas to anyone.

Was recommended by many friends around me, so I finally wanted to try out. Very impressed by its stain removing magic, even those fruit stains. And it is so cheap! I am stocking up for my kids' dirty clothes in this summer.

Hands down the most effective spot/stain remover I have ever used, and I've been my household's king of stain removing for over 30 years. I was so impressed with Grandma's I experimented on spots that have survived dozens of wash and dry cycles. Gone! Gone in one attempt.

This stuff is insanely effective! Works every single time.

"Grandma's" is awesome! It has gotten out some serious stains, and I've purchased it several times.I have just one request/complaint - the bottle is really hard on the hands when it starts to run low.. Really tough. I feel like I'm getting arthritis[nothing to joke about] trying to get the last 1/3 of the product out.

Arrived as promised. Excellent packaging. Item arrived in excellent condition. I immediately went to work on removing spots from several garments that had not responded to previous removal efforts including those by my professional dry cleaner. This product worked like magic, even on old stains that I didn't really think would come out. Except they did! On about 8 different garments including nice blouses and a couple of dress shirts that had been expensive enough that I just couldn't bring myself to throw them out. I'm so glad now that I held on to them and kept searching for a better solution. This product is a gel so it sits right where you apply it and doesn't bleed into the surrounding fabric. It did not damage any of the fabric including cotton, cotton/synthetic blends and silk. I'm very pleased.

Used precisely twice - and it worked beautifully, I may add - but then simply no longer generated any steam, although the light came on when you clicked the switch. Just discovered that, although bought only on Feb 9 this year, it is "no longer eligible for return" 30 days after you buy it. Really? They only stand behind their product for a month? Absurd and - because the product worked well when it worked, and I was planning to simply request an identical replacement - very disappointing.*UPDATE* After posting the above as a 1-star, I looked on the manufacturer Pure Enrichment website and they had the usual text about amazing customer service. I emailed them on a Saturday and they replied on a Sunday apologising, saying they'd send out a new one right away and I could just discard the broken one. Received a brand new one today (Tues). Superb service, would give them 5 stars if only returns went through Amazon, as those are easy. Well done Pure Enrichment!

Initial Review: Very, very weak! Practically useless!Yes it's labeled as a portable steamer but it is so weak it takes forever to even do one shirt. Not only that but there's a built-in shut off timer so it's constantly losing steam while your working. I don't understand how this product can have 1000+ 5-star reviews.UPDATE 3/3/2016: Pretty Good As Long As You Don't Fill To The Max LineI was contacted by Pure Enrichment support to give a replacement unit a try. No harm in giving it a second chance so I accepted the offer.At first I was very disappointed with replacement unit. It seemed to have the same problem as my first one.Here's what I did step by step:Filled the reservoir to max.Turned it on and it heated it up 1:15-1:30 which was faster than the 2 minutes advertised.I would then hear a "click" and the steam would start for about 20 seconds.Then there would be another "click" followed by a slightly stronger steam for 15-20 seconds.However, it would die down to nearly no steam and no bubbles for about 10 seconds until a "click" was heard again and would repeat the cycle.This cycling on/off continued for nearly 9 minutes! Just as I was about to give up and turn it off, I noticed that it had a continuous steam going and kept going until the water ran out. It did a pretty good job on a pair of pants but it only lasted for about 4:30.So after several tests I realized what the issue is. This steamer does not like it if you fill the reservoir right at the max line. Doing so gets the on/off cycle. Instead, it's best to fill it about 4/5 the way. Doing so gets a steady, continuous, decent strength steam that was able to last for 7:00 strong and eventually completely ran out of water at 7:30.Pros:Compact and portableQuick and easy locking topLarge opening for the reservoir to pour water into and clean when doneHeats up quicker than advertised at around 1:15-1:30 and this is with cold Brita filtered waterCons:Filling to the max line gets an on/off cyclingShort of the advertised 10 minutes continuous steam. Getting 7 minutes but likely due to filling only 4/5 the way.Plastic has a light purple color to it. Easily noticeable compared to something actually white like the cord.Conclusion:DON'T FILL WATER TO THE MAX LINE! It's a better steamer than I initially thought once I figured that out.

This steamer would be great for small garments. Careful not to fill it too much and hold it upright- some water spatter will happen. Practice/test on something you arent about to wear until you get the mechanics of it. I bought it to dewrinkle some heavy curtains and the fabric was just too thick to give me my desired results in the time frame I wanted. This small steamer is better reserved for small items i.e.: dress shirts. Company saw I wasnt pleased with my initial purchase and has sense sent me the XL steamer with stand I am going to try on my curtains. I sure do appreciate that these days!! Thats rare. I will review that item as well once I use it this weekend. Im sure it will serve its purpose fine!

I use this to give wrinkled shirts a quick steam in the morning before I leave. For that purpose, it works fine. In about 5 minutes I can smooth out the wrinkles and the shirt looks much better. Not nearly as good as classic ironing, but still much better than wrinkled. I can usually get through 2 or 3 shirts on one fill up, depending on how bad they are.Only things I'd warn about are A) its much smaller than I was expecting, only about 2 feet high, and B) the way it works is a little tricky. You turn it on and once it heats up, it starts steaming in bursts of about 30-45 seconds. So you get about that much steam time before it takes a little "break" to charge up (~10 seconds). Kind of annoying and definitely slows the whole process down, but overall for the price it does its job well.

This steamer works very well. I ordered it to steam a formal gown. I figured instead of paying to get my gown steamed I would try to do it myself for about the same price and be able to steam other items as well. It worked beautifully. My only complaint is that the tank needs to be refilled very often. I had to refill the tank three times to finish my gown. One tank full of water was only enough to steam one dress shirt. It's not difficult to fill and it heats up quickly, but if you are interested in doing larger volume than one piece at a time you may want to look at bigger units. This steamer is very small (box is smaller than a shoe box) so it will store well.

I like this steamer a lot. It's compact and it's easy to travel with. The problem with travel size stuff is that it is usually small. Specifically with this item, the water container is small. So do not expect hours of use out of it. I attached some pictures of a cotton t shirt that I threw into the wash and came out super wrinkly.The steamer did a good job taking out most of the wrinkles, but it does not replace an iron. The reason for that is because it's hard for the steamer to get the wrinkles out by the horizontal lines on the shirt. My guess is bc it is painted over or whatever material they use is hard to get wrinkles out (as you can see by the pics). It still did a really good job, but for items like these, you would likely need to run an iron over to make sure you get the wrinkles out of the horizontal lines.I suspect that it will do a great day to day job of just getting out wrinkles from dress shirts and work attire. I filled the steamer to the "max" line and the steam was only sufficient for this one shirt (front and back). I had to refill after steaming this shirt. I see some other reviews where it states that you can use it on two to three things. I think it just depends on how much wrinkles you have on the shirt. If you have heavy wrinkles like this cotton tee, then it will likely only have enough steam for one shirt. either way, it's still more convenient for travel and using an iron!Worth a try if you are looking into one! It took less than a minute to boil up. The price is also relatively cheap compare to other steamers. I would check this out if you are in the market for one.

Still left a little yellow mark behind on cloth with a blood stain; the stain later came out with other stain removers.

Little miracle worker. I use on my linen table cloths (along with Wine Away for red wine) and they have always come out perfectly clean.

This stuff works. Even on older stains

I like this spot remover, but I wouldn't say it's the best. I tried using it to get some black ink out of a blouse. I thought my pen cap was on, and it wasn't- so my white blouse paid the price. I followed the directions to a T and the black ink has lifted to a soft gray. It's only a line about 1/2" long, so it's not a big deal- but it's still noticeable if you're within a couple feet proximity of me. I tried using the directions twice and the ink is still there. I will try a third time, but for something that advertises that it can get anything out- I'd have to politely disagree.

I was not blown away with this product but I do like it. I tried to use it as a spot cleaner (on an item that I could not put in the washer) and I had to work pretty hard to get the product (which to me had an oily/gel like texture) spot..hand rinsed from my item. I also tried it on an ink spot..it did not remove it. I used it on an article of clothing that had make up/foundation on the collar and it took it right out after allowing it to set for a few minutes. I think for some things and to use prior to washing in a machine (where you can get a good rinse)..it would be okay.

I was really skeptical at how well this product would work but am happy to report that it works extremely well!I should also mention that unlike a few of the other brands out there, Grandma's Secret will NOT mess up your clothes. I have had other brands that I have followed the instructions perfectly and had shirts ruined. No problems what-so-ever with this product.I only wish that for the price the bottle was bigger than 2 ounces.

Purchased this a year ago. At first it worked ok- good steam flow and small and light enough for easy travel. But over time, apparently the heat changed the ability for the swivel top to securely seat and seal, and it now will not seat shut and leaks burning hot water, even when upright and filled appropriately, and in the "lock" position. I expected better wear after a year of using perhaps a dozen times or less. Still under warranty, but I will not replace with the same product because I think the design is unsafe. I'll look for one with a larger head and resevoir like we use at church for large linens. This seemed like a design flaw from the beginning.Update 12-2016. The company responded with an offer to replace this unit declaring it was defective the same day I wrote to them. Like another reviewer, I found the service was excellent. I will follow up with how the replacement holds up they are sending me.

I've had this steamer since the middle of February. It works great! There isn't much this steamer can't steam. I've never had a problem with spurting water, either-the only times I've had it belch water everywhere is when I'm in a hurry and don't check the fill line. I've taken it on multiple trips, conventions, you name it.BUTRecently, my teamer has started leaking water from the plastic seam on the front of it-if I'm steaming, there will be a tiny puddle on the floor; If I set it on the counter without empyting the water first, there will be a puddle underneath. Worse, the base of the steamer has turned a rusty color, and I'm afraid to use it anymore, because I'm afraid the heating element may be compromised, which could result in electrocution.In short, I love it, I've gotten great use out of it, but I'm going to search for a better steamer when I get paid. Appliances should last much longer than this.

This is something of a let down. You can actually hear the water boiling madly so I have to fill it WELL BELOW the fill line or I get big wet splotches on my clothing, and therefore, I can't use this right before I plan on wearing something. It is fast and easy, but I go through water pretty quickly since I found I cannot fill much above half. It does makes quick work of items and have also found that a flat ironing cloth (hung on a slacks hanger) works well behind the item I am steaming and I can hang the cloth and then the clothing item in front, and steam hanging both from a handle on my cabinet. This steamer must remain in an upright position and you want to watch the hand that you might use to hold the clothing taut so that you don't burn yourself.

I ended up with the dud also. I really figured the negative reviews of the product only working once had to be a fluke. Maybe it still is, but I ended up with one of them. Super disappointing. Only worked once. I went to use it again a few minutes after it went through it's first round of water and it was just dead. Waited a while thinking it needed a break? Really? But no, it was just dead. I don't have the time or the bandwidth to go through the rigmarole of the warranty/replacement stuff. Very frustrating as I bought it last July and just now decided to write a review and realized I actually paid $29.99 for this??? What a complete rip off.UPDATE:The company reached out to me to replace the defective product. I have since been able to use it successfully twice. I find it does what I need for getting rid of wrinkles. Much quicker for me than getting out the ironing board and full iron.

This steamer was purchased as an alternative to ironing. this device was needed in our home to remove wrinkles not only from clothing but also from linen drapes curtains etc. I was a bit disappointed not only by the size of this device, it is quite small, but also the feel of the item. Unfortunately it just felt a bit cheap. Upon using this item I found out that the steam is not very strong and that the item does not Old very much water. Because of that you have to refill the reservoir quite regularly which defeats the whole purpose and I spent more time filling then wrinkle removing. Also when doing flat items such as linens, it was even less effective than steaming hanging articles of clothing. I did wind up actually returning this item because I was just not pleased however for the price it may be suitable for limited needs

Do you know how white can be warm, or cool. Sometimes it can be so cool that it's almost blue. My steamer is distinctly purple. My first impression what that they shipped the wrong color, but - upon further analysis - it appears the hue of their plastic just got way off-track. At least that doesn't impact functionality.It's also **very compact,** is good for storage.However, it doesn't work as well as a full-size steamer. It also only contains enough water for about 2 garments. Then I have to take a break and let it cool down before adding more water, because the top is too hot to touch and remove. So it doesn't work for steaming larger batches, but it's fine for an occasional item.

The quality is just okay. The effect is not that obvious..

Bought this based on great reviews. Size is great for those on the go or to leave in your purse/car/backpack. Took this with us to an eating fair since my family gets so excited engrossing themselves in fair food and naturally not doing so in a neat manner! Managed to get some red,oily, soup splatter on my son's spanking new college hat that was creamed color. I removed that ridiculous cap tho because you cannot squeeze the bottle even if you're Hulk Hogan, so cap removal does help...applied on stain and scrubbed with my nail and let it sit for a day...went back the following day with wet wash cloth and scrubbed on affected area and let it area dry and presto, next day stain was gone. The bottle is small so if you have a huge stain, you may need a few of these...this is ideal for small spot treatments but the way to apply it per their directions is truly tedious. It is good, but as some other recommended, oxygen works perfect. The remover is in a gel former so that may be preferable to some especially if on the go. It fulfills my purposes but wished they had a little thought process on the cap. I did not pick up any smells from this.

Worked on my first two stains t hen not on the next two...perhaps only on fresh not set, stains?

I hope it can work very well , but I tried several times,it doesn't work, very disappointed.

It works, but it's slow and not as effective as a 4 dollar bottle of oxi clean stain remover from Walmart or Target that is 10 times the size and volume...

It is very possible that the reason my rating of this product is fairly low is because of the stain we tried to fix. My girlfriend got some red ink from a bingo blotter of all things on her favorite turquoise jacket. I believe the jacket was washed with other stain treatment products a time or two before we tried this product. We tried everything we could find online to try to get the spots out but nothing did the job. The only thing I found that was extracting some of the red ink out of the jacket was very strong isopropyl alcohol & patiently blotting the stain over & over again. Some of the red would show on the cloth beneath after doing this tediously all day. I guess maybe if we had tried this product immediately after the accident, it may have worked better.

(I) bought it to steam the wrinkles out of small photography backdrops. Never used it for that. Sent it back next day.The design, in MY opinion, isn't safe. IF you were to knock this thing over while it's running, near steaming-hot water would come out of the nozzles, THEN propel and blow out due to MORE steam being created inside it.Many people complaining that they use it once or twice and then it's dead.MY guess is that the overtemp device that shuts it off in the event of low water is no longer resetting be it by poor design or poor quality.It is CHINA sourced. About as simple as possible. The heating element is a blobbish looking thing in the bottom center. Says it is 700w I would advise ALL users of this item to NEVER let it run out of water whilst using it AND use ONLY distilled water.You CANNOT steam things that are lying flat. DONT try it.It for things that are hanging on a clothes hanger NOT ON A PERSON!!!!!! Good Lord!The steam gets H O T! ITS STEAM!IF you are a moron, you'll probably cook yourself with it.

I received this steamer today, tried it out once and was massively disappointing. I bought this to replace my Epica 800 Watt Handheld Fabric Steamer which worked great for me for a year of nearly daily use until it finally gave out recently.This Pure steamer is far smaller than it actually appears in the photos. The listing also claims that the "water tank lasts for 10 minutes of continuous steaming" but it is far too small for that. I filled it up to just barely below the maximum line and got only 5 minutes and 33 seconds out of it. Hardly enough time to steam a dress shirt that wasn't too wrinkly to begin with. I had worn the dress shirt a couple of times so the wrinkles were just from normal daily use. There were no hard creases or anything, yet this steamer did not "iron out" the majority of the wrinkles. Not only does it not steam for very long but the nozzle is too small to cover much area of the fabric you are steaming.Personally it was just a very disappointing product and I immediately requested a return after the first use. I don't typically like giving negative reviews unless absolutely necessary, so I'm giving this one 2 stars "I don't like it" instead of 1 "I hate it." I can see this being useful for some people for travelling purposes, considering the size, if you're just looking to have a steamer to quickly take out a few wrinkles on a shirt. Though if you want to use it on a daily basis to really de-wrinkle some clothes, I would not recommend it. It should definitely be advertised as purely for travel use or quick touch-ups.

Feedback for my recently purchased Amazon product - PureSteam Fabric Steamer. I've only used this once since I've received it a couple of days ago, so I don't have enough trial runs to have a concrete opinion about the product. But I will elaborate on some of the things I did experience in my one use:1. The steamer heated up quickly and was pleasantly surprised with how fast the product started up.2. I read that the angle should not exceed 45 degrees, so I made sure I kept it facing directly straight at my shirt that I was trying to steam. The product did splatter a bit and I expected it was from being a new product.3. Throughout the usage, it continued to splash and create large wet spots on my shirt where it looked like it was dabbed by a very wet cloth.4. I steamed one half to compare, and although it did steam out most of the wrinkles, it took the entire reservoir and about 8 minutes or so to do the job. I was a little disappointed on how time consuming this process was and the fact that I probably wouldn't be able to use this at the last minute due to the large water spots.5. I don't see any problem if I steam my clothing the night before (to dry out) and if I'm not in any rush. But it does require numerous refills and slow/repetitive motions.6. I would rate this product a 2.5 out of 5. Like I said, I've only used this once so my rating has very little credibility. I will try it at least a few more times, although I'm a little scared that the water splashes will leave water marks on my dress clothes as it dries.7. I will say that it would be a little easier to just buy an iron/ironing board and have my wrinkles out, with the creases, in less time.

I used this on two items: a pair of suit pants and a jersey sundress. The pants had a crease at the knees from being draped over a hanger. The steamer didn't even touch it, even though I used the entire tank of water on just that. I will have to iron them.I refilled to do the dress and it spit water for a while, even though it was filled under the max line. Luckily I was near a sink so just held it over the basin until it was done, because it was a significant amount of boiling water. Once that stopped, I used the rest of the tank to steam the dress. It took out some of the wrinkles, but I will probably just iron the rest because it seems like less trouble.This will be returned.

Very poor performance. Water kept spitting out all over the fabric in big spots even though I held it upright and moved very slow. I was trying to get wrinkles out of a new bedspread I had just bought, hung it over my ironing board and now I have to leave it there until all the water spots dry. Did an average job of taking out wrinkles in some areas but doesn't last very long. It may be better for smaller things like shirts, pants, etc. but it will still spew water out regardless. I will be returning it.

This steamer had great promise. Lightweight, 10 minutes of continuous use, very little sputtering...but then I tried to refill it and use it a second time and it just quit working...AT ALL. Nothing...nada...ziltch.Super frustrating to have to return it...I gave it two stars simply because I used it on the chiffon on my wedding dress and it worked like a charm...I guess if I wanted a disposable/one-time steamer I would give it 5 stars.I ordered a slightly larger steamer that should be here in two days...I will keep you posted.Sigh.

It's leaked when I received but I can't choose return or change...

does not remove stains for me. My mother in law thinks it works great but I don't see the value.

The 2 stars go to poor Amazon service. I bought this travel size spot remover at $5.63 and the second day it dropped to $2.9. And it shows unreturnable, but why it is unreturnable? Please read our full return policy blabla…Though it is just a few bucks, it annoyed me.

It didn't work nearly as well as I expected on baby food spills.I ended up buy a chlorox bleach pen instead.

I've used it on several types of stains on several different shirts and it yielded only okay results. Basically, it didn't do such a great job with some of the stains. Just soaking the clothes with a few drops of regular detergent in a basin of water and a little bit of scrubbing gave me better results.

I don't find that it works. I tried it on a few different stains:1. a very aged dirt stain (a few years) on a sofa cover - managed to spread the stain further; maybe if I continued working on it a few times, it might eventually come out?2. an old food stain (a year) on a dress shirt - didn't remove any of it3. a paint stain on a shirt - didn't help at allAnd in all the above stains, I actually tried it 2-3 times, varying the time I work the lather in, the time I leave it on for, the amount of strength I used, different brushes to scrub. None seem to work. I still use it on any stain I see in the hope that one day, it'll work! When that happens, I'll update my review!

This is the worst steamer I have ever used. First of all, after I turned it on for the first time to use, the steamer started spitting out hot water on my garment. I thought "Okay, maybe this just happens when you first turn it on but it'll stop after a couple of seconds.." NO. IT DIDN'T STOP. So, on top of this, I know this is a "travel sized" steamer, but it runs through water FAST. Also, it didn't even get the wrinkles out. I don't feel comfortable leaving the steamer faced towards just one spot at a time on my clothes because I'm paranoid and I think it'll ruin my shirt, but do it at your own risk. Overall, I would NOT recommend this product.

Almost ruined a blazer with this item. I did not get to ruined the shirt because my mother suggested I try to see how the steamer performed and long be hold, water was being poured everywhere.. HOW WATER!!, which was very dangerours. The steam was produced whe only 1-2oz of water were left in the tank, which lasted few seconds. Perhaps there was something wrong with this one in particular but I'm trying out other brand just to be safe.

This is my first Amazon review and it is because I want people to beware of this product. I understand that products can have defects but when they are as dangerous as this one, there should be much greater measures in their Quality Control department to ensure less hazardous products wind up in the hands of consumers.Let me start by saying I was SO excited to get this steamer. I had been suffering from a disheveled look for months after a roommate had moved out that owned an iron. As such, I was in the market for something that would get my wrinkles out fast and without any extra equipment (i.e. a bulky ironing board). After browsing Amazon for a while, and reading countless customer reviews, I picked the Pure Enrichment Fabric Steamer.Just a couple of days later, my much-needed steamer arrived in the mail. Right when I saw it, I opened it up and used it on some of my unkempt clothes. I read the directions, filled up the reservoir, and plugged it in. Briefly, I left the room to put the clothes on hangers. When I came back, my floor was soaked with scalding hot water. Curious as to what was happening, I picked up the steamer from the handle. It was searing hot and water was dripping everywhere! Thinking I must have screwed something on wrong, I turned the appliance off, let it cool down, reread the directions, and tried again. This time I noticed before even plugging it in that water was dripping everywhere. Ugh! I was so disappointed. In a desperate attempt to make the product usable, I wrapped duct tape around the bottom, but that failed to leave the product with any marked improvement. The water found a way to drip-drip-drip out. I'm no engineer but I'm pretty sure it'd be difficult for the average person to make this work. The product has rendered itself completely unusable. :(In summary, I suggest you do not buy this product. It is too much of a gamble. There are other steamers on Amazon in the same price range that won't be such a risk.

I purchased this item after reading a review on a blog raving about the item.Mine must be busted, because the steam is incredibly lacking, I was hoping this would replace the stand version I have, since that steam machine isn't so great.I feel I wasted the money, and this isn't even suitable for travel.I already recycled the container, before I tested, otherwise I would return this, now I must sell for a huge loss.On another note my room mate bought a slighty larger model from Aldi, and it far exceeds the steam ability of this tiny device.

What an awful product. I chose this because I use steamers every day, but liked the option of putting this away in my closet instead of leaving a floor steamer out. While it does heat up quickly, when you are steaming an item and hold it against the fabric, it spits all over the place. Like all over a silk shirt. And my foot. Also, the resevoir holds very little water, so I can get through one pair of jeans and half a top before I have to refill. It would probably work for travel, but I don't recommend this at all. It only takes once to get burned from the water to want to throw this thing across the room. And because I'm at 32 days, I can't return it. Waste of money.

Well. I really liked this steamer for the month it lasted. Today, suddenly stopped working leaving me with a dress half-steamed. The light to indicate the device was on was not turning on again and I feel frustrated. We've been using distilled water, and having all kind of precautions every time we use it. We bought it in July and it worked for a month and some days. Now, I'm checking that I missed the returning policy by 4 days (FOUR days)! Frankly I feel cheated. The bad thing is this steamer really makes a good job with your clothes. It's been the best we've had so far in terms of leaving your clothes wrinkle free while investing a short amount of time doing so. So... my only thought now is just really, how this can happen??!!

Does not work, I have used this a couple of times and it is terrible, i have used right after i spilled coffee on a white shirt and it did not remove it.

Tried to use this to get off oil from denim and from some upholstery and had no effect. Even tried leaving it for an hour despite it saying only ten minutes.

Doesnt really remove stains well. Quite disappointed. Ive use it on new grease and marker stains but they do not come off.

did not work on ink

I use just stuff on my jacket on the spot and that spot ended up getting to be a big ass pot and I use it as directed I wouldn't recommend it spot remover to no one

I tried to remove a pretty fresh (but not completely) blood stain from a cotton poly shirt and it did absolutely nothing but leave a mark on the shirt even after washing. Will be looking for another product as this has not worked on any stain I've tried it on, fresh or set. I recommend getting something like a tide to go pen, those have worked for me in the past.I'd also like to add that it doesn't come with a nice drop applicator tip like this, it's like one of those push top shampoo bottles. I'll be emailing the company about my dissatisfaction with the product.
