Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Garment with Plastic Steam Head, 120 Volt, 20 x 11 x 64, Gray

I don’t take large purchases lightly. I own a handheld steamer that works well- but it is a lot of work to use. I wanted something industrial that would do the work for me. I am addicted to buying beautiful clothes- but with that curse they often wrinkle easily and I hardly wear them. This has changed that!!!I researched for a good week with chatgpt. What I learned was that (for me) the steam power was the most important specification and this is what sets the Jiffy J4000 a part from its competitors. I learned that my handheld one had a power of about 25g/min and so I knew I wanted something much stronger. Most other models run 30-40g/min. This model runs from 50-60g/min. It is more powerful and efficient than most other products.I received the product yesterday and I was ecstatic! It does take 15 min to warm up but then I pressed 4 outfits in the next 5 minutes. I also pressed a thick blazer collar that had been folding the wrong way. My only wish was that the rack was higher or adjustable for long pants (my inseam is 34-36) and doing the bottom of pants and dresses was difficult — but I plan on buying a steam board to mount and help with this. Overall- it’s a huge win for me and will honestly change my life in that I am no longer limited in what articles of clothing I can wear.

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!

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
