This clothes steamer is easy to fill and easy to use. It heats up very quickly - through the small side window you can see it starting to boil just before the steam comes out of the spout. The product page describes this as an updated model that doesn't spit water and they are absolutely right. The only thing that came out of the mine was a constant and continuous stream of steam. I first used it on a cotton/poly blend blouse. I've attached a photo before I started and one after I finished to show the finished blouse. The steamer is lightweight and easy to use, and its design allows you to intuitively hold the steamer at the right angle. What a quick and easy way to get rid of wrinkles.
