Don't go a day without this iron/steamer!

I was recently looking for a hand steamer. A roadie indeed that would be good enough for general home use but small enough to take with you on trips. I don't travel much, but every time I do I wish I had a steamboat. I HATE IRONING. I hate it. Anyway, I saw this little guy, ordered it and used it 3 days later on a trip to Austin, Texas. Out of the box, it literally steams your clothes in about 2 minutes. Fill the small container with water using the tiny mug that comes with the kit and when the light shows you're ready, take it to your clothes and press the button. WRINKLES APPEAR INSTANTLY! It was a 4 day short break and most of my clothes were casual; no shirts or pants. But I made 8 shirts in about 8 minutes and filled the tank once. I had my shirts on hangers and then I hung the hanger on the top of the bathroom door. I steamed all but one shirt, I actually used the iron in a hard-to-reach spot (I touched the shirt with the iron while it was hanging on the bathroom door). WOW. I love this little thing! The only thing I would change is that there is no travel pouch to keep the small mug and instructions together. I'll probably just buy a blow dryer bag to keep it inside. Seriously, try this little steamer/iron!
