It is not bad
I am happy with the product given its price level and expectation. I can see there are some negative comments about this product, but I'd think it is not fair to compare this with an iron. It is not a replacement for an iron, but a handy alternative if needed. It is easy to use as well.
Good steamer
Have used it a few times and am happy with the results I am getting. Some thicker fabrics take a bit longer but overall its a breeze. I don't have to fill the water tank too often. The only drawback is with the water tank full, or even half full, it can get a little heavy which some people may struggle with.

Love sunbeams products
This steamer is good because it comes with multiple attachments and has different steam settings which comes in handy when you’re working with different materials. I find it’s really good to use on the mattress and pillows

Not safe to use, It broke in the first use!
After reading all the positive reviews about this steamer I decided to purchase it. My initial thought was that it was easy to use but then I realised I had to refill the water tank after steaming one or two garments as it was too small. All the sudden half way through my steaming, the steamer sparked and caused power outage. The burning smell was all over the house.

Professional alternative!
It comes with different attachments. You can select low or high steam. Very powerful. I used it to steam an artificial plant to smooth it out and business shirt that my iron couldn’t get out in the most difficult areas. It creates a natural smooth texture wherever you finish up doesn’t leave crinkles or lines like an iron do. The only reason i give it a 4 star is because the condensation splatters tiny bits of water it’s okay for clothes with patterns but not for plain coloured clothes as you can see it. It dries up so not really a big deal. But it could be improved as the instruction tells you to turn it off and wipe it up and wait for it to cool down and who has time for that?

Fantastic
I bought this because of the good reviews. It is so easy to use. I use this to steam my kids bed because my boys are allergic. Also my client has bed bugs problem. When I accidentally bring those bugs to my home ( I hope not) I use this steamer to treat bugs.

Good steamer, a tad heavy
It works well, my only issue with it is that its quite heavy, especially when the water tank is full, so you quickly get tired of holding it. Unless you are planning to steam a few garments, it's better to put just enough water for one piece, that makes it easier.

GOOD but heavy
The steamer was bought yesterday from good guys ( australia- oxley). For people like me who have done their research and go off of reviews etc this works out to live upto the hype.
However, i'm a small human and after one use- with one flimsy light polyester/cotton top my hand became tired of steaming the garment- The unit is just too bulky and with a full tank of water- your palms begin to ache.
The job however was done perfectly - wrinkle free top in a minute
the cord is long and the attachments make it good value for money. The pressure of ...

Amazing timesaver to get you out the door even quicker in the morning!
It’s never any fun getting ready of a morning and realising that the shirt you’re wanting to wear is still in the washing basket and in dire need of an iron. Who has time to get out their ironing board and iron when they needed to be out the door 10 minutes ago.
The handheld steamer has certainly made mornings like this a thing of my past.
I have been using the steamer for a couple of months now. Some of the things that I find great about the appliance are that you don’t need an ironing board, the water storage container is large (300ml, wh...
Read moreich means that you don’t need to refill the jug every time you need to use it) and there are so many attachment options which is really useful for different materials. For those who have not used a steamer before it can certainly take some time to get used to. I've use it for everything from a simple t-shirts, cotton shorts, work trousers, denim skirts and linen jump suits.Purchased in October 2019.

Simple to use and the results are instantaneous
Much easier than ironing if doing t-shirts, dresses etc. Just wave it across the fabric a few times and creases disappear quickly. Be careful the steam is hot and there is a risk of burning.

Super Fast! Super Convenient!
I live with 5 house mates and space is a huge factor! We've already gotten rid of our iron and ironing board! It's Incredibly fast to heat up! Was sceptical at first whether it will remove the wrinkles, but I can't fault it!

Who knew that making my clothes crease-free could be fun!?
I've only been using the Sunbeam steamer for just over a week and am already loving it! So easy to use and heats up quickly, making it perfect for when I'm rushing to get ready in the morning, and not needing to use an ironing board has been life changing! Plus, I've actually been finding it fun to wrinkle out my clothes with this steamer!
I travel a lot for work, so I can already tell this is going to be great to take along for when I need to quickly iron out my clothes, particularly given its compact design.
If you hate ironing like me, you'll love this steamer - highly recommend!

Genuine life (and reputation) saver
Really stoked with this. Both my boyfriend and I never have the the time do a full iron so we've been desperate for something that works. We had a different kind previously (different brand) but found it gave up after the second/third use and would only steam for max 5 seconds which was incredibly frustrating.
Sunbeam's one has got a great sized water tank - I feel like it is actually working when I use it, and haven't struggled to get those stubborn creases out of clothes.
My only suggestion would be to make use of the accessories - you get a few provided and they definitely make a difference. Stoked to finally look like I've got my life sorted when I leave the house, and not a crinkled mess!

Quick, effective and easy to use
After using this a few times I've found it easy to use and it does a great job. I've found it naturally works well with lighter clothing but also works well across thicker cotton too. The extra-wide feature is really effective and makes the whole thing even quicker. Really enjoyed using it and would definitely recommend.

Latest Consumer Questions
My steamer was working for a couple of weeks but then it started spitting hot water over my hand and onto the garment. Don’t know what the problem is
Hi Evertina yk,
Have you tried cleaning the machine? If you follow the instructions on Page 9 of the product manual attached this will asssit you https://sunbeam-s3-production.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazon...
I just brought one of these because of all the positive reviews and I think it may be faulty. I like to steam on high but it hardly ever works on that setting. I can steam on low without it stopping but when I have it on high it just stops steaming (the green light is still on though) and it’s a nightmare to get it going again if I even can get it going again. I usually have to turn it off and on a few times, wait 20mins and even then it will only start again 50% of the time. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Mindy R,
I have just sent you a private message if you could kindly respond via that please.
Thanks
Hi, I have the same problem. Working great with low function, but when I set it on High it just stops working. Any suggestions/help highly appreciated!
I'm looking for a hand steamer to remove the creases from a delicate, white wedding dress. Would you guys recommend this product for this satin type material. Thx
Hi Kim,
Yes this product will definitely remove creases for you. However I would suggest testing it on another item before using for the first time.
Thanks
Just curious Kim H - how did you go? We need to remove creases from a satin wedding dress too.
