Jiffy Steamer J-4000M Garment with Metal Steam Head, 120 Volt,

I wanted a steamer to finally ditch my dry cleaner. At $5 a shirt/sweater, dry cleaning was costing a fortune, and not to mention the chemicals, and my clothes kept coming back with static, odd stains, and sweaters hung instead of folded. So, I figured Id ditch the dry cleaner and steam instead.I bought the J-4000M steamer after much research and reading reviews, and I am NOT disappointed! I wanted a professional steamer to use at home because I had bought a much cheaper version (not a Jiffy) before, and it didnt steam properly and "spit" water out. So this time I opted to go for the J-4000M (with the metal attachment). Although it was more expensive than the J-2000M, I knew I wanted a professional version, like the kind used in retail clothing stores. I honestly don't know how much of a difference there is between the two models...but other reviews I read were mixed, some said not much of a difference, others said there was. So i cant comment on any differences. I also opted for the metal head, over the plastic, only because I personally feel the metal gets hotter and hence produce a better result...but I am no expert and cant say for sure if metal is better than plastic.As far as the steamer itself goes...its solid construction and very well made! It was easy to put together, nothing to it really. (look under the steamer for the wrench that is attached via a magnet). But really it was just a matter screwing the metal rods together and attaching to the tank, and screwing the hose on (the head came already attached to the hose). THATS IT...pretty easy! This thing is heavy duty! But not heavy and its on wheels so its easy to move around. I had read some reviews that said it was too heavy...but I didnt find that to be a problem at all. unless you plan on carrying the thing around...but no need because there are wheels. Perhaps if you need to empty the water out...? I, however, like to do all my clothing at the same time...so I fill it up and steam til it runs dry...so I never need to empty it. Just dont add more water than you need and you should be fine. The handle is made of wood, which is heaver than plastic, but I didnt find it to feel heavy while using, nor did it get hot in the whole 2 hours I steamed.As far as the steam.....yes, it does take about 15 min to pre-heat, but Im ok with that. Once its preheated, you switch to steam, and within 2 minutes, its steaming. The tank takes up to 4 quarts. I didnt time it, but I got about 2 hours on a full tank. I can do ALOT of clothes on 1 tank. I did cotton shirts, rayon, polyester, sweaters, linen, fabric blends, dress slacks and it ALL came out perfectly steamed and very easily! I was a steaming fool!! The ONLY small complaint (if I have to give one), is that the rod could be a bit taller. Otherwise, no complaints. Im in love with this steamer!I highly recommend this steamer!! And the best part is that with the money Im saving on dry cleaning this thing pays for itself in no time!

Don't buy anything else, this is a real commercial steamer, same as what's used in stores everywhere. If the price is too high save for it. Right out of the box, steamed a ton of clothes, suits, pants, jeans, cotton shorts, blouses, sweaters, polos, touched up a few of my son's wrinkled cotton shirts, worked insanely good! Took a fraction of the time it takes to iron and no need to disassemble when done. Takes about 10 minutes for the water to preheat then 2 for full steam but its well worth the wait. This is the real thing!!!Bought this to replace a Rowenta Commercial Precision Steamer which is the worst thing I've ever purchased, not only did it hardly work but I worked for it since it would not work unless you emptied, cleaned and removed the hose, tank and nozzle to air out every time you used it, not to mention you had to decalcify it almost every other time you used it. Waste if money, effort and time!!!I still can't get over how much better it works. Should have returned the Rowenta after the first time I used it, but part of my thought why bother buying another one if steamers don't work, boy was I wrong. No comparison at all.

After many reviews about the j2000 vs j4000 and metal head versus plastic, we purchased the J4000 with metal head. The ‘buy once-cry once’ adage perfectly correlates the J4000 and we have absolutely no regrets. Yes, we have to plan a whole 15 minutes ahead versus 2-3 minutes for the J2000, but the steam velocity and quality of 1500 watts versus 1300W matters. We didn’t find that the handle gets uncomfortably warm, and a simple steam mit would eliminate any concerns. The 1500W feature is also better suited for thicker fabrics or other jobs, like velvet curtains and tablecloths. The metal head with wood handle was not overtly heavy for us and was easy to maneuver once warmed to target temp. The metal handle is also very aesthetically pleasing over black plastic, in a vintage sort of way, and looks charming simply sitting in the corner of your closet, bedroom or dressing room. Overall, well worth the extra $ to step up to a unit that feels and handles like a prosumer product. No regrets.

before I purchased this steamer I went online and read all the reviews to determine which one should I get the 2000 or the 4000. As many of the reviews mentioned that the 2000 is too weak to deliver iron like results, I went with the 4000 model. I am thrilled with the results that my first reaction was " every woman deserves one of these!" it works great on cotton, T-shirts and pants in particular. I'm even wearing some shirts and dresses that I'd stopped wearing before because they wrinkle so bad and they're hard to iron.I use it on my husbands collared shirts, it's not exactly the same results as ironing, more like 85 to 90% the same, which is enough result for me to give up ironing. I'm sure as I learn to use it better I will even get better results (it's already getting better and it's been only one month) point is that made me happy that I didn't get the J-2000 as it would have been definitely too weak to give similar result.the only thing I didn't read reviews about is whether to get the iron or the metal head. So after talking with the company I chose the metal one as it is more durable.. well that was a bad choice!the metal handle is extremely heavy and it gets really hot. it's so hard to handle and I feel that it's an accident waiting to happen. In order to get good results and prevent condensation in the hose, I hang the clothes up over the door. after steaming few pieces I get so tired and I stop for a break. I was at a store the other day and they had the J4000 with a plastic head and I asked to try it:- it's much much lighter-it's much easier to handle- it doesn't heat up and feels much saferthe only way for the head to break is if it's dropped real hard on the floor, I can't see how I could loose control over the plastic one while with the metal one I throw it every time I feel the heat from the metal and I get scared!it will cost me 71 dollars to get the plastic one, that's expensive and I wish I went with it from the beginning. However, it is worth it because I know that with it this steamer would be perfect.if you are to order the head without the hose you'd have to cut the hose that you have and connect that had which can be dangerous and is not recommended!I haven't used the iron for a month and I don't see me using it again in the futureI just love my Jiffy

A life changer! It is exactly the same as the steamer that I used working in a boutique in the 90's. No changes... but, works great. My only complaint is that there is no gauge for the water level and I understand it is very important not to overfill it. So far, I've just run it until empty and then filled with a measuring cup to specs. I have the heavy metal head... the heat and weight certainly improve the performance over the cheaper plastic head.I HATE to iron. I actually enjoy steaming a rack of clothes. It is also great for bedding and drapes.

I've had my steamer for about 4 months now and I have to say that I am very pleased with it. It was a large investment that I was weary about because I end up steaming clothing for a couple hours at a time and I really wanted something that had continuous steaming power. And this has definitely met the challenge. It's slightly annoying that it does take up to 20 minutes to get ready but on the positive side I don't have to buy filtered/distilled water, it recommends only using tap water. My only suggestion is make sure you have enough water in there before you turn it on to heat. The directions specifically state not to put water into the machine once it's hot and steaming. Overall great investment if you do lots of steaming at once or are trying to avoid the dry cleaners.

The switch is bad will not steam seems like a chip of simple, cheap problem and now I have to toss. It can’t get Amazon to answer. Any questions and people want to charge too much to fix. It. Looks like a loss for an inexpensive fix. All I can do is buy a new one not happy. The problem lies all in a cheap plastic switch when I turn it to steam it won’t stay locked in have to put tape over it to get the steam switch to stay on.

My wife and I have been using garment steamers for many years. It avoids excessive dry cleaning which can destroy clothing. I got fed up buying cheap Rowenta steamers and throwing them away every 18 months. I decided to buy a professional version and the Jiffy steamer is FANTASTIC. It is extremely well built and was easy to assemble. The unit is definitely designed and built for professional use. It has a PRESET function which gets the water to a temperature slightly below boiling. This allows the unit to be in standby for a long period of time and when you are ready to steam, you turn the switch to STEAM and wait for the water to get to the right temperature and produce steam. When this device is ready it puts out tremendous amounts of steam.....much better than the Rowenta. It gets wrinkles out quickly....we should have bought this several years ago. If you do a lot of steaming....this is the only choice for you.

Excellent steamer, I love it. So powerful and v easy to use

muy buena compra me encanto pues la uso en mi tienda de ropa y en comparación de otras solo hay ue darle su mantenimiento con sus mismos productos y listo a seguir trabajando, es muy resistente y eficiente

Funciona muy bn

Leg broken during shipping. Replaced in 48 hours. Works perfectly.

The steam that is produced from this steamer is very weak, and nothing that you would be expecting from a professional industrial steamer at this price point. It leaks alot of water that constantly makes a mess on the garments. don't get fooled by the 3 year warranty you are responsible to send it get fixed...i had problems within the first 6 months of use.
