Jiffy Steamer J-2 Garment Steamer Review

I do alterations for a major bridal chain, and we use several different types of Jiffy steamers.
I decided to purchase this garment steamer to use on sewing projects and my clothing. It's fabulous. It heats up extremely quickly, and you can steam for several hours with it.
TIPS:
Make sure to use distilled water with the steamer to avoid mineral build up that can cause sputtering and discoloration of water. Also, I find that if you fold up cheesecloth into 3 layers and use a rubber band to hold it to the steam head, it will protect delicate fabrics and provide a more even steam flow.
If you are using this to steam something like a big heavy dress or curtains, please do yourself a favor and purchase a set of string knit gloves from a store like Harbor Freight to protect your hands. $6 to protect yourself from 2nd degree burns is better than a trip to the ER! (Trust me, I know, and it only takes a fraction of a second for a steam burn to happen!)
To sum up, this steamer is better than any junky plastic one marked "commercial" that you will find in a store. Jiffy Steamers are truly what people in the garment industry rely on. Very sturdy, quick heating, and better than ironing any day. You will not be disappointed!

Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer Review

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.
