Rowenta IS-8100 Commercial Garment Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll make it simple: If you are looking for a home-edition garment steamer, your top 2 choices in the marketplace will likely be the Jiffy 2000 and the Rowenta 8100.
I tested both for 10 hours; on a 1 to 10 scale:
Jiffy (Looks = 6; Engineering = 10; handling = 9; craftsmanship = 10).
It looks like a mop bucket on wheels but it performs like a jet engine; every part of this machine from the plate at the bottom of the unit to the steam handle is built for rugged usage.
Rowenta (Looks = 10; Engineering = 5; Handling = 7; crafsmanship = 4).
It looks like a UFO but performs like a Pinto with much less steaming power; it is built as a toddler's toy having most parts made with inexpensive plastic including the watertank base and valve: pull the machine a single foot OR tilt it a mere 1 inch and you will experience a slow-building cascade.
Buy the Rowenta 8100 as a decorative piece to make your closet look good.
Buy the Jiffy 2000 as a garment steamer to make your clothes look good.

While a steam iron eliminates fabric wrinkles and creases with great efficacy, the impact of a heavy soleplate will not do for some delicate and vintage pieces. For such ironing conundrums, Rowenta offers this professional upright steamer. The 1500-watt steamer gently smoothes wrinkles away without the stiffness left by a conventional iron's soleplate.
The detachable 1-gallon water tank reaches its steaming temperature in approximately 90 seconds. With a full tank, the appliance produces steam for 2-1/2 hours. The user applies pressure to the foot pedal to engage and control steam output. An indicator light on the pedal informs its readiness for use. Steam travels through a 5-foot insulated hose, which removes for stowing. Though the user can monitor water levels through the tank's transparent construction, the steamer arrests power when the tank becomes dry to prevent damage to the appliance or power waste. The steamer also turns off automatically if left idle for prolonged periods of time for extra security. An aluminum hanger pole snaps onto the steamer body, extending the steamer to 5 feet high. The hanger supports clothes as they are steamed and swivels for quick garment steaming, front to back. In addition to the extra wide steaming head, Rowenta includes both fabric and upholstery attachments, as well as a lint brush for enhanced care. The power cord spans 9 feet and stores around a provided bar. The steamer travels on four wheels with casters and a carrying handle. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. This item benefits from a one-year limited warranty. Without the hanger pole attached, the steamer measures 19-2/3 by 15-4/5 by 13 inches and weighs 18 pounds upon shipping.

Sullivans Cordminder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item arrived promptly and in excellent condition. The table was fairly easy to assemble, although one of the underside table inserts does not attach evenly and if connected makes the table sit unbalanced. So I leave it disconnected and all is fine. This table is great because it has a large work area, it has wheels and can be moved around and it folds down to save space. I am very happy with this purchase.

Never iron over your cord again! The cordminder keeps cords safely out of the way. Swiveling arm allows free movement, and cord stays taut when weight (3-1/2 inches long by 1-1/4 inches wide – included) is attached to cord. Attaches easily to any hobby table or surface not over 3/4 inches wide. Use the Cordminder for any hand-held appliance including: irons, glue guns, hand-held power tools, and kitchen appliances.

Retayne Color Fixative - 4 Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Retayne is the only treatment you can use that will really solve the problem of a garment whose dye was not properly set. Similar products are widely used in the textile industry.
Sometimes, non-dyers will recommend that you soak your new garments in salt or vinegar to "set" the dye. Unfortunately, neither salt nor vinegar can set commercial dye; the only value to the process is as an extra washing that helps to remove some of the extra dye. Retayne is far more effective, making colors last much longer, even after many washings.
Retayne is a dye fixative that will set most commercial dyes. It contains positively-charged particles which will stick to the negative particles of most dyes, helping to fix them in place in your fabric. Dyes that would otherwise bleed a little in every washing become safe in the laundry after treatment with Retayne. Retayne is extremely valuable for quilters who must make sure that their differently colored fabrics will not bleed onto each other when a quilt is washed. It is essential after dyeing with all-purpose dye, such as Rit dye, which would otherwise tend to bleed in the laundry. (It is not necessary for use with fiber reactive dyes, such as Procion MX dyes.)
There are two downsides. One is that the indigo dye used in blue denim cannot be fixed with this sort of treatment, because indigo dye molecules lack a negative charge for the fixtive in Retayne to stick to. The other problem is that cationic dye fixatives tend to increase the fading that is caused by bright light. Clothing that has been treated with Retayne should probably be dried indoors, not in direct sunlight. All dyes will fade if exposed to bright light long enough, but sunlight may fade them a little more quickly after they have been treated with a commercial dye fixative.
Retayne is applied in the washing machine or a large container of water, so it cannot be used to set a color that will run very badly even the first time it is immersed in water.
