I noticed you only quoted part of my reply. Does that mean it's a bit trickier to convince you to buy one, but not trickier to convince you to by 3? Go for it! Hit the 1 want 3 button!!!

My wife loves her's. I've used it to remove stubborn stickers off of stuff, remove the last bit of 1970's wallpaper from the kitchen wall (kinda clumsy with short hose but it worked great),loosened a rusty bolt, cleaned the toilet...don't tell my wife!. It is well made and heats up super fast. Get one...or three.

Been looking for a garment steamer, so... eh, why not? In for 1.

I think your steamer just sucks. I got one of these a while ago and haven't used an iron since.

Yeah, they're probably over at Raising Cane's for lunch. Maybe they'll throw in some secret sauce for the next deal.

i was looking for a steamer, glad i didnt buy the shark steamer

In for one... mom will appreciate it - since she does all the ironing!

I've had a few different steamers in life (ha!) with varying results. Some have been great, some mediocre. People say they *mostly* love this...and for $80, that gives me some reservations.

However, I know people in the wardrobe department on a TV show (oooo, Mr. Hollywood Big Shot) who use a Jiffy and adore it. Plus, it's off and on 10 times a day, so you know it can handle heavy duty loads:

So the question is: is $75 worth the risk of a *mostly* good steamer with no customer satisfaction return policy (cough, woot), or $137 for an amazing steamer with a decent satisfaction return policy (amazon). I'll take the latter...if I can save up enough cash. But first, I have to get the wrinkles out of this shirt for the job interview...

Ground shipping means its shipped by..... drum roll please.... GROUND. l0l. In a truck. The carrier doesnt really matter.

In woots case it means fedex smartpost. Which basically means it sits in a warehouse, gets put on a pallet, shipped on a semi to somewhere in your general vicinity. Then fedex gives it to USPS and they deliver it, with your tracking number being worthless once USPS has it. Its very slow, and seems silly and prone to error. But its also very cheep and its woot, shipping is 5 bucks, and it gets it there.

The one thing I don't understand is how people are using this to steam clean e.g. the walls of a shower. I have one--love it, posted that already--but it doesn't create a billowing directed forceful stream of steam. It creates enough steam to get the wrinkles out of clothes. I would think this would be entirely useless for things like shower walls, were you'd really like the steam to be be coming out with some amount of force.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ugh, its still here.

Works best in a hotel/motel, otherwise you'll be paying for the extra steam yourself.

You don't have to take the long shower - just let it run (save the Earth - who, me?)

This item and I do not inhabit the same planet. I can hardly think of a less useful gizmo for me (unless you can use it to kill stinkbugs)

Will the people behind the woot! curtain wait until the drive time here on the East coast before they render the Barrel of Codpieces today?

I wish they'd do it before 4:30 EST. Please?

And will likely be for the next half hour or so...

Don't people usually post pictures of lolcats and such when the woot-off slows down like this.

i bought a similar model from costco for $99. it wasn't worth it ... perhaps because it didn't work on the shirt i tried. i ended up wearing a wrinkly shirt to a wedding. i returned it. maybe my technique was wrong or the shirt fabric wasn't the right type. however, that scarred me.

My idea of ironing is spray the offending article of clothing with water and tossing it into the dryer. I decided to upgrade and just bought one of these.

Selling my ironing board and iron in my yard sale next month. A very liberating feeling.

My guess is no carp today. Perhaps tomorrow. Of course, I've been mistaken before, and would be happy to be wrong here as well...

I bought a Bosch steam dryer for this purpose... It is awesome (notice it isn't otterific anymore). I never have to iron anything, and it even freshens up my dry clean only clothes so I get extra wear out of them between trips to the cleaners.

Was that supposed to be a joke?

I love mine- used it last night.
Did 15 shirts and a couple ties in 55 minutes.

Haven't had to touch an iron since I got it.

So, where's the Bundle of Cornucopias?

One would be tricky. Three would be an outright miracle.

I have one from a previous woot. It's fantastic for freshening upholstered furniture, drapes, etc. Also good for clothing between dry cleaning. It will definitely take out wrinkles, but if it's a badly wrinkled cotton shirt, the iron is quicker. The steam is very hot so you can use it for sanitizing surfaces, too.

My gf has always wanted a Segway™ but I could never afford to buy her one. Maybe I can fool her with this Rowenta steamer.

I want my Big Oven-roasted Critter.

A steamer as a gift for the gf? One 'lucky' gal!! Good luck with that

Challenge Accepted!

My prediction is we will see a Bloated Olafactory Conundrum on Wednesday afternoon, approximately 4:45 PM EST.

I believe this particular Woot-Off is good to go for at least another 33 and 1/3 hours.

Darn it c3po you should have stayed with R2... now the stor troopers have converted you into a steam cleaning droid and banished you to the planet woot to live out the rest of your days waiting waiting waiting for someone to buy you or your 3 brothers.

It's just an updated version of one of these, right?

I think you're about right. But I'll skew it slightly to 5:15 PM EST. (right during the drive home)

RWoodward wrote:One would be tricky. Three would be an outright miracle.

Well, the only thing that I can think of to convince you is that in the last week two of these have sold on eBay. One sold for 81 dollars and another for 90 dollars. Could be a quick way to make 60 dollars by selling all three.

I justt pull my clothes out of the dryer while they're still tumbling
