SALAV Iron Professional Clothes Steamer with Vertical Steaming

Let me start with the Praise.I bought a cute coat recently but it's wool is lousy. An hour of full steam hard ironing with a very capable iron on its hottest setting on my full size ironing board couldn't remove its creases.Moments with this ST 50 and all the creases vanished even the X made by the stay stich of the back hem vent, wooshed right away.Water tank easy to remove put back and fill.It's attractive.Gets HOOOOT FAST. One review says it doesn't burn the hand. Mine certainly did!Hose comes already attached.Now the negatives:As many report its too short. My dresses are 44+ inches long. My coats are 50" long. The men's overcoats in my family are 60"+ long and full evening gowns are 55"+ long. The maker must think we wear only size 5 minis, shorts and crop tops. A 50" trench comes to the base. My yellow coat is 44". To do the bottoms of my garments I have to use this with a full ironing board so I have something on which to apply force for ironing the lower parts of garments. The mini board up high is pointless. It's only functional for the neckline of my things.Also too short are the power cord and the steam hose.Be careful using the steamer hanger. It places the wand right by the garment and this thing gets hot in 30 seconds (faster than the manual states) and if you're not paying attention and you have something on it, you'll burn up the elbow/waist area of your garments.Sadly it doesn't have wheels. I was able to slide it but wheels would have been far preferred.It's manual wasn't the best but you'll get it together in minutes.It felt heavy in the box like 25lbs but probablyis 16lbs. It doesn't remove from the box piece by piece. You have to pull it all out foam and all in one fell swoop.And it would be so much nicer if the POWER ON/OFF was ON THE STEAMER not down by your ankles.

Pros:-Steam head is absolutely perfect for steaming. It feels "right" in your hands. Really love the design of the head.-Steam head somehow allows you to have your bare hands near without getting burnt. Love the head of this steamer!-Does not leak and cause water spots on clothing (first use, it might. But after that, it's pretty perfect.)-Built in board which is very much needed for steaming-Easy to move even without wheels. Pretty light weight.- One fill steams for a very long time. Not sure exactly how long but longer than I expected given the size of the water holder.- The board is movable so you can have it at an angle which has proved to be useful.- The attachment at the top is great for steaming correctly and the garment laying right.Cons:-The board is too short. Not very functional for long items such as dresses/coats-The back of the board isn't a board(has moving metal parts on the rear) which causes you to have to move the item around to do the back.- The board is somewhat useless on longer items. Wish the board was as long as the unit.-Not tall enough. Hurts your back bending over to steam long items. Can use a stand to put the entire steamer on and that takes care of the issue. But still, ideally you'd have an adjustable height that reached fairly high.-The placement of the steamer head, if affixed to the side in the carrier provided, is not functional for long items. It sits on the side at the bottom and if you're steaming a long garment, it gets in the way. You can put the steamer head on the actual unit in the center as well, but because this unit isn't tall enough it still seems like a weird spot when steaming long items.- Would be nice to at least have the option of wheels.Tips:-Be sure to use distilled water in this unit to preserve the unit and prevent water deposit build up.- Use a stand to put the steamer on if it's too short or hurts your back to bend and steam long items.I may return this item as it's important it is tall enough. I do really like it, however, and think if you were using it just for personal use and not business like we are, it would be nearly perfect.

I bought a couple of handheld steamers, those didnt work. I upgraded to a standing steamer like this one but that also was a hunk of junk. This steamer is expensive compared to the others but this is literally the only steamer that has worked. I use a steamer weekly for my shirts for work. The old steamers I would have to set aside hours to steam a couple of shirts. This steamer I can do a weeks worth of shirts in about 20 minutes. You could probably reduce that timing but i am crazy and i get every single wrinkle out. Dont waste your time with the other cheaper steamers. This is the way to go.

Absolutely Terrible. I haven't even had it 3 months. It drips and spits boiling hot water out whenever it is running.

Super staff super products

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to like this unit. It looks great and worked great twice. Now, all it does is spew water the whole time I try and use the steamer (use it for 2 minutes or 10 minutes, it still spews water). It does have some great features, though I would like to see a trigger for the steamer. That seems to be a tough thing to get on most steamers. Luckily, I was in the 30 return policy and sent it back. I did contact the company that makes it and they were trying to be helpful. However, I use this for my business and I can't wait for weeks for them to figure out what is wrong.UPDATE: I upped my rating because the customer service from the company was so awesome. They were willing to send out a replacement once they got the other back. I just could not wait for that to happen. Great company that backs up their products.

I really like this steamer, I give it 5 stars. It gets out all of the wrinkles. The heat output is excellent it gets very hot, more than a lot of steamers out there. I love it because it does not leave my clothes wet, like a lot of steamers do…you cannot travel with it, but that’s ok because I did not buy it for that reason…I have one for travel that is a small one…I recommend this steamer it is an excellent steamer…
