It’s no secret in our household that I detest the ‘ironing clothes’ task, and I have been very successful to avoid this chore for over 15 years. Although we own an excellent old iron, along with 2 ironing boards, these items have remained in our back closet safely gathering dust and out of my sight.I am truly thankful for our laundry dryers ‘no wrinkle’ cycle, and this helps for different material blends, but for an ‘an all-cotton’ piece of clothing my clothes do not come out perfectly pressed.I have also resorted to hang a mildly creased item in the bathroom while I take a hot steamy shower, and it works for some fabrics, however, most cotton items remain wrinkled.Several years ago, I purchased my first steamer, as an alternative for ironing. This was a ‘Corey Travelaid Hand Steamer’ and it was a disaster. The Corey Travelaid steamer has a small a very small water reservoir, as it will only accept 2 oz. of water. The on/off toggle switch is 12” down the cord, which is an inconvenient placement. When the steamer top is on, I can’t view the amount of water and there is no automatic shut off. Furthermore, there is no light display to indicate that the steamer is on, and I have to keep checking whether this is working, because it takes over 3 minutes to heat up only 2 oz. of water. However, the worst trait is the exterior of the steamer gets scalding hot, when I clutched the steamer to empty out the excess water, it burnt and blistered the palm of my hand. In conclusion, I considered the Corey Travelaid steamer a dangerous product and I never used it again.The second steamer I purchased was a ‘Remington Steamer’, and this too was another failure for the following reasons. The ‘Remington’ has a slightly larger water tank, and this one takes 3 oz. of water. However, there is NO power switch, when the electrical cord plugs into the outlet it immediately starts to heat up, which takes about 4 minutes. Similar to the Travelaid, the Remington does NOT have any type of ‘on’ indicator display, there is NO automatic power off either, and there is not a way to see the amount of water within the steamer’s tank. In addition to these similar flaws, the last dangerous feature applies to this one too. The exterior gets scorching hot which burns and blisters the hand when touched immediately after, and the Remington steamer needs a long time to cool down before it’s safe to handle. Therefore, the Remington Steamer is a hazardous product as there is NO power switch, and there is no automatic turn off safety feature, and the exterior becomes blistering hot.The URPOWER is my third garment steamer purchase, and this time I got it right, because this one has the extra features and none of the previous steamer flaws. This steamer has the 5 oz. water tank, which is much larger than my previous two steamers and the heat-up time on my steamer is between 1 -2 minutes. The on/off sliding switch is on the handle and convenient for my thumb and right below the sliding switch is an LED light that glows red when the steamer is on. There are two acrylic see-through windows on each side, which allows the view of the water from inside the steamer. Furthermore, this steamer has the safety feature, which automatically powers off when the water is low. However, for me, the most important characteristic is although the exterior does get warm, it never gets too hot to handle therefore there is NO risk of burning my hand as long it as I stay away from the front part of the nozzle where the steam comes out. This allows me to empty out any excess water, and let the steamer air dry for a couple of minutes before putting it away.This was my own full-price purchase, there was no discount, no promotion and I did NOT receive this free. This is an excellent garment steamer, it has all the conveniences and safety features and this clothes steamer is highly recommended by me.
