Steamfast SF-680 Digital Steam Press with Multiple Fabric Settings and Steam Burst Function,Stainless/Black

Works as intended. Very high quality and easy to use product.

I use this Press mostly for jeans. It does the job well and is faster than using an iron. Here's more details: When using on jeans I usually only have to press one side. Hence, the shorter time spent pressing. I keep a spray bottle of water handy just in case. However, the built-in steaming usually does the job of getting stubborn wrinkles out. And many times I don't have to use the steam at all. Keep in mind that when using the steam you have to pull the top down to within 3 - 4 inches away from your fabric, press the steam button for 2 or 3 seconds then release the steam button and lower the top onto your fabric. Never press the steam button while top is in contact with the fabric (closed position). That could damage the machine. The water container is sealed which comes in handy because I store the unit upright on its base. It also has a locking feature when closed to allow you to carry or store the unit. I like the easy to use digital heat setting and the warning sound that will alert you when the top is down for more that 7 - 8 seconds. It will also shut off after several minutes of being idle. Hint: Each time you plug the unit in, the lowest heat setting is the default. For more precise pressing in hard to do and small places, you may want to keep a regular iron handy. Personally, I haven't done that yet. But, I could see where the extra smaller iron would be needed. If you have never tried a Steam Press, I highly recommend that you at least give it a try. You just might be glad you did.

it's a great machine! Pro's: it works fine!!! does an excellent job! Con's: it's a bit small, I wanted a larger/longer machine; the water tank is too small, need to refill it too often

I frequently wear collared shirts which I starch and iron by hand. Using this method, I cannot get the fine wrinkles out completey, so I purchased the press with the hopes that the press would eliminate the fine wrinkles and give a more professional look. Even taking great time and care to smooth out the garment, I found that I am unable to get the results I want. Some shirts that have puffy and gathered sleeves are impossible to use on the press with even mediocre results so I have to take those back to the standard ironing board. I have only used the press several times since getting it so maybe there is something I am missing in operating the press. No video or instructions came with the machine. Bottom line: I wanted a more professional look with this press, and it doesn't deliver. I also iron my knit tops and t-shirts and sweaters, and the press works superbly on those garments and saves a lot of time and produces excellent results with those items, but I purchased it mainly for the collared shirts. I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE MY REVIEW AND GIVE THIS PRODUCT 5 STARS. I LOVE MY STEAMPRESS. I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO COLLARED SHIRTS BETTER THAN A REGULAR IRON, BUT ON EVERYTHING ELSE, THIS MACHINE IS AMAZING. I IRON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING NOW, AND IT TAKES SO LITTLE TIME. I ENJOY IRONING USING THIS PRESS. I DO NOT LIKE THE STEAM FUNCTION ON THE MACHINE SO I USE A SPRAY BOTTLE OCCASIONALLY ON HEAVILY WRINKLED GARMENTS, AND THAT WORKS FINE. I ALSO HAVE USED THE STAND THAT I GAVE A POOR RATING, AND I NEED TO REVISE THAT RATING AS WELL BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER USE IT FOR ANYTHING BUT FOR STORING THE PRESS. THE TOP OF THE PRESS DOES SPRING BACK AND ROCKS THE STAND SLIGHTLY, BUT AFTER USING THE PRESS A FEW TIMES, YOU LEARN HOW TO RAISE THE TOP SO THAT IT DOESN'T ROCK. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STEAM PRESS, AND I WOULD GIVE THE STAND ABOUT 4 STARS.

This is an excellent home presser. Only adults should use.

I purchase this steamfast in 2009 and it is still preforming great. It does t-shirt, jeans, bedding, towels and shirts. Really anything that requires ironing. I will add I'm fussy with my dress shirts so I resort to and Ironing board and iron to obtain the finish I prefer. I'm not saying you can't do dress shirts. I viewed a gentleman on YouTube where he did a dress shirt and he was satisfied. The company located in Kansas, they are very responsive just great. I have purchase replacement for the Ironing surface, the the OEM cover and foam pad several times over the years. I have never had a mechanical issue with the product. I set it up on a corner of my kitchen island and listen and watch TV while I knock out my Ironing.

OK so I'm gonna really really love this *for what I need it for* (knit shells, sweaters, T's, shelf-stuff, some heavier cotton pants perhaps (untested pants). First, as reviews get switched between different versions of an item, I will share I purchased: Steam Fast SF-680 Digital Fabric Steam Press, April 2015. I need to shave off some a.m. gettin out the door time, so I first got this press, and next I may get the 30-45 minutes pants creasing press still thinking on that one. I opened this box (wide, but not too heavy or awkward in case you were wondering), and I had this item working in five minutes. It's not too heavy really it isn't (I was a little concerned about that initially). Only two pages of a small manual really applied to "use" and they were very well written. Skimmed the manual and in only minutes I was confident enough to steam blast my way through a sleeveless cream sweater. I wear very simple clothes to work, and alot of knits - thin sweaters etc. I don't often wear woven shirts with collars, so I won't be using it for those. I like my knits folded like on the store shelves -- so today I folded half and flattened (steam-shot lower, count to 8 and lift), folded half again and flattened (steam shot two lower, count to 8 and lift) - bam-bam-bam top done and just like new off the shelf! How awesome! Used wool setting for all, no issues no scorching, no wierd creasing, no burns. Steam puffs out fine. Some reviewers noticed loud popping noise, and yes I heard a total of "three" mid-range pops but that may very well be something metal underneath just reacting to a very fast heating up/cooling down. My little handheld steam iron does that but tiny-tiny pings only so it may make sense - bigger metal plate makes bigger popping noise. In my case, I had press on a total of 15 minutes, heard three pops total. Not unsettling, and likely wouldn't have noticed them had I not read the reviews before buying it. Actually, it says 8-10 seconds down, but counting to three did just as well with my knits. Started with "wool" but turned it down to "silk" The three lowest choices including "silk" allow no steam shot, but one wouldn't want that anyway on those. Tried a shirt, used a little Bounce starch, they came out ok but gonna need a little flattening practice on them, and I don't wear them often so I may just twist around and use the regular iron 5 times a year smiles. But the knits? Oh baby, am I gonna love this thing. Some reviews have mentioned you really really need the stand due to instability lifting/lowering the handle. Stand is sold separately here for like $50. Happy I didn't get it, because for me its just not necessary. For me, this press fits totally great on the top of my front-load dryer, extra room all around it, I can even pull out the top-side lint trap filter with no issues, and even with the steam press open. In fact, I have two shelves sticking out over my dryer and there's still plenty of room for this press sittin there totally open. Weight on the dryer top is fine, balance is fine, and press is seemingly built tight as a drum no issues with instability using it/opening/closing. So in my case, I needed this for morning "speed", "fit" in a convenient room, "safety" (steam, burns) as I'm gonna be using it quickly, "durability", a few years of no-drama working as advertised, and of course not burning my clothes or me unpredictably. So long as it keeps working like it did today, I'm thrilled with my purchase. Final thought: I took 2 suit jackets/matching trousers to the dry cleaners three weeks ago - the best dry cleaner in town they say. I paid and retrieved my plastic-draped goods and happily headed home. Hung em up at the house, and the morning of an awards ceremony three days later I pulled the plastic off to find it seemed like they cleaned them but did not press them - the collars were not flattened, the pants had no seams. Really? My response for my time, money, and initiation of "Plan B"? First time shame on you, second time its on me, so to avoid future drama I came to Amazon and done done and done. And this is also why I am a card-carrying Prime/2-day shipping included member as well. Hope that helps someone, and wishing all well!

Liked it has a timer so I don’t have to count myself

Excelente producto

Good product, seller is very cooperative. I have requested a replacement and she replaced with no questions asked. Many thanks

I love this iron. Easy to use and TIME SAVER! It took me 3 minutes to press the pillow sham. I used once in 4 Yrs. Now I can use it regularly and not dread ironing. New user but seems like good quality. I did my home work on YouTube and consumer reports and this one is top 10.

Perfect , works great

10 segundos y la ropa esta lista . Me la pense muchos años en comprarla, por el tema del precio . Hoy ya se que regalarle a mis hijos cuando se casen o vayan a su depa. De haber sabido la hubiera tenido hace tiempo. Es rapida, facil, eficaz uso spray con agua en una botella para eficientar el planchado .
