Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Singer's SteamWorks Pro steamer is just amazing, so lets get down to it.
Assembly was fairly straight forward and took about five minutes to unpack everything and get it all put together. So the instructions get an A+.
To start off I filled the tank with filtered water (they recommend distilled water obviously) and slid in onto the base, flipped the machine on, waited about a minute and steam was shooting out so it was time to start steaming!
Using it for the first time, let alone a garment steamer for the first time, was an experience. I started with some drapes that had recently been washed but not ironed. A few passes with the steamer took every last wrinkle out of them! It actually surprised me because infomercials have really ruined my expectations on steamers as they seem to over glorify them.
Next up was a button up work shirt. Using the folding hanger and the garment clip bar to hold the shirt, a minute of going over the shirt made it look like it had been freshly pressed! Just amazing with so little effort.
The SteamWorks Pro steamer works flawlessly on everything I've tried it and it uses VERY little water.
Now there are a few things that I would consider minor flaws.
* First of all there is a LOT of plastic and it's not the heavy duty feeling ABS plastic. The pole clasps that are on the telescopic pole (these are what you use to lock the pole at different heights) are made of plastic and I am honestly waiting for one of them to break and prevent me from collapsing or extending the pole.
* I find the steamer hose a little bit too short and too stiff. When you are using it, the hose does become more pliable when heated up. Not a huge issue.
* The drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit and requires you to tilt it. They really should have designed it better so you didn't have to do this.
* Even when fully collapsed the unit is 32" tall. If you are like me, I have no room to store stuff like this and am resorting to having it just sitting in my room.
* No storage for the accessories. Now I have to find a place to put these bits and pieces.
* No handle, so I am unsure where I can grab to move/pick up the unit. It also doesn't roll on carpet or carpet with rugs very well.
These are all really nitpicky flaws, none of which detract from how well the unit works/functions.
For how well it works and the price, you really can't beat this garment steamer!
Pros:
Works and works very well.
Uses very little water and doesn't saturate the garment.
The accessories and nice, especially the handheld steaming board and space age oven mitt (seriously, it comes with a protective glossy silver oven mitt!).
Easy to operate.
Easy to put together.
Somewhat compact and collapsable.
Produces steam within a minute of turning it on.
Cons:
Fairly bulky, need to find a place to store it when not in use.
Drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit.
Tons of plastic! Only time will tell how well it will hold up to being used.
Has no storage for it's accessories.
