Best full-sized garment steamer – Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series

With ironing, less is more – the less time I spend on it, the more I don’t mind doing it. The Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series Garment Steamer, though a little pricey, is well worth it simply because it exceeds expectations and saves a ton on dry cleaning.

I believe that a steamer, no matter how upmarket, cannot replace an iron when it comes to pressed collars and cuffs. But for everything else, my Jiffy J-2000 Steamer is almost a godsend. Now I can steam a week’s worth of clothes in less than half the time it would’ve taken me to iron.

I usually give it about two minutes to steam up properly. When I first got it, I excitedly started steaming away after 45 seconds, but the steam just came out in spurts. By giving it time to ‘power up’, I get a strong, steady gush of steam that won’t slow me down. However, this also makes the hose hot so I never use it with children around.

The 1-gallon water tank means less interruption for refills and the hose is light yet sturdy. This enhances the overall steaming experience, making it a pleasure to use. I’ve found that water drips if the nozzle faces downwards, so I always remind myself to keep it at an upright position.

This has also saved me a fortune on getting my drapes professionally cleaned. Now I just toss the curtains in the washing machine and dryer, hang it up again in all its wrinkled glory, and the Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series Garment Steamer gives me wonderfully smooth curtains in under half an hour. I get some exercise while I’m at it, too so there’s another bonus.

The steamer comes with a rod for hanging garments but that made the job more tedious once the steamer starts blowing it away. Now I steam clothes behind a door for added support.
