Has anybody tried the Jiffy handheld steamer? I used a J-4000 back when I worked at Banana Republic in college and I've always thought I need a decent steamer after that. Ironing just sucks ass in comparison. I don't want to buy from a consumer grade company in the same way I don't want to buy anything but a Speed Queen washer/drier. But I really don't steam that much so it seems like this would be a good choice for the home. That said, in my experience shit like this is generally bad. Anybody have one of these and if so do you think I should just go for a J-2000 minimum?

>>18791736No, I genuinely just want to only own professional grade appliances and tools not cheap bullshit. Speed Queen Washer/Drier, Babylock or Juki Sewing Machine, Milwalkee tools, etc. All the stores used jiffy steamers but I just don't want a huge ass J-4000 off ULine at home because they take up a lot of space. ULine didn't even have this one available the last time I was looking.
yeah I bought the jiffy handheld like 2 months ago cuz I only need to use it like three times a month so no need for a non-handheld one. Hope this helps! HH
I have both a legit professional one for a photo studio and the handheld one for location shoots. the handheld one is decent but obviously the professional one is better. you can find second hand professional jiffy steamers on facebook marketplace all the time for like $100 or less. just get one of those if you want a god tier steamer. you should only buy a handheld if you have literally no space or for travelling. its not bad its just not as good as the pro one.
>>18791933also when you have the pro one you steam everything all the time. because it just lives in the corner with the reservoir filled and when you switch it on you have steam in like 30 seconds. the handheld one takes a few minutes to get going and you dont usually store it with water in it. so you're much less likely to use it if you're running out the door. the pro one you end up using all the time because its so fast and you can get all the wrinkles out of something in like 30 seconds. if youve used one before at a retail store you should know all this tho.
