Review on IRIS USA Inc TSTM 01 Compact by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's more of a steamer than an iron!

I was up in the air because I wasn't quite sure if it was more for an iron or more for a steamer, but it's definitely intended as a steamer, I was expecting that . This thing is really compact, very light, with a very long cable and very easy to use. Only 2 buttons - On / Off and Par. The iron does not allow you to adjust the heating levels, which immediately tells me that the thing is intended as a steamer. The steamer heats up very quickly and the steam button ensures constant steam. The vapor is quite hot, but it doesn't accidentally burn you like a big vaper. With this device you can also iron the item you are steaming and it is actually a really effective combination. I steam my husband's suits all the time with our large steamer and this thing is almost as good at about 1/3 size. The steam also comes out more evenly than our large steamer, which is really nice. I've steamed curtains with it and it worked beautifully. In many ways I like it better than my full steamer because it's so light and small and easier to use.

Pros
  • understandable even for old people
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
