Worst iron I have ever used
»
Works for one or two times and gone. I bought at a mall kiosk and I made a mistake. That brown stuff spilled all over my carpet and I got to find a way to clean that.

Mine blew up on me
»
We bought one at the mall and when I brought it home, I tried it and when I pluged it in, it worked fine. I let the steam run out pretty much and then added some more water. I went to plug it in and I noticed that the lights in the room dimmed. I unplugged it and pluged it back in and it sparked a lot. Then when I tried once more it didn't spark but it sure dimmed the lights then tripped my breaker. I thought it might be just that room so I tried the bathroom plug. When I pluged it in the wall outlet sparked so bad it melted the inside of the wall plug. I will have to have an electritian come and fix it now. Waste of $47. I wish I had gone home to check this website out first. DO NOT BUY!

Feels a bit sketchy, but...

I also got this from a mall kiosk, and I've only been using it about 2 weeks. It starts quicky, generates a LOT of steam and stops quickly when it gets tipped over. Ordinarily I use a full-size Conair steamer, and I got this to replace an American Tourister travel steamer because it took so long to make steam. I have been using this since I bought it for all my laundry because it is so fast. Despite the cheap feel, short steaming time between refills and the weird rust-water and maintenance procedures, I have had none of the problems that others had. I use it mostly for steaming, but it also irons well, and I have not had any rust water coming out on my clothes in either case. Some fabrics steam better than others, but performance in all cases has been on par or superior to my other steamers. Can't comment on customer service yet, so I will hang on to the AT travel steamer just in case (a functional, compact and easy to pack alternative for those of you afraid of this one). So far, it is worth the $40 I paid, fingers crossed it keeps working like this...

Product is a complete rip-off/scam; Buyer Beware
»
I was in Vegas like another reviewer and bought this product thinking: 1. Quality must be good as it was made in Italy 2. Somehow, it worked in the kiosk and I even tried it myself.
I took it home (followed directions perfectly), and it just did not do a great job at all. In fact, it had a brown stuff coming out on the clothes. I will contact customer service and perhaps the credit card company.
I suppose, my only saving grace is that hopefully this review and others I will post online will prevent people from making the mistake that I did. A mistake that cost me 40 dollars.
Thanks
