- How long does the tank last?
- The 12 fl oz tank gives roughly 10 minutes of continuous steam. Expect to refill once or twice when steaming several shirts.
- Does it work on delicate fabrics?
- Yes. The low steam level and ceramic-glaze plate suit silk, chiffon and other light fabrics. Keep the head moving and test on a hidden area first.
- How fast does it heat up?
- About 20 seconds from cold to steam. That is quicker than most budget handhelds, which often take 30 to 45 seconds.
- Can I use tap water?
- Tap water is fine for most homes, but distilled water reduces mineral buildup on the heating plate. Descale regularly if your water is hard.
- Does it shut off by itself?
- Yes, it turns off after 20 minutes of inactivity. It does not sense when the tank is empty, so switch it off when steam stops.
- What is in the box?
- The steamer, a removable water tank and a measuring cup. A fabric brush and heat-resistant glove are not included.
- Where is the 1350W Portable Handheld Garment Steamer cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $35.99, as of our latest check.
