Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series
Indicative of the steamer's quality is the brass fitting attaching the hose to the tank. (A wrench to tighten the fitting is included, and it has magnets for storage on the base.) Other features include an automatic safety shutoff if the steamer runs dry and a stay-cool wand handle. The steamer's plastic base measures 11 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 14-1/2 inches deep. The steamer carries a one-year warranty against defects.
Steaming vs. Ironing
Your clothes are an investment. Don't you want to apply the safest, gentlest method for removing wrinkles?
To determine which method of removing wrinkles is the better option for fabric care, steaming and ironing were put to the test.
- Two identical 6" x 6" squares of black wool were purchased from a local fabric store.
- We steamed sample "A" for 1 minute with a Model J-2000 Jiffy ® Steamer.
- Sample "B" was ironed for 1 minute, on the proper heat setting, with a top-of-the-line residential iron.
- We then bagged, labeled, and submitted both samples to MVA Scientific Consultants in Norcross, Georgia for detailed magnification.
The Scanned Electron Microscope (SEM) images show any damage that may have occurred.

The fibers in sample "A" are in near perfect condition due to the gentle nature of steam. However, the fibers in sample "B" are clearly distorted. You can easily recognize the damaged fibers caused by just one application of the iron's hot sole plate.
Unlike ironing, steam actually relaxes the fibers rather than crushing them.

Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer Reviews
| 683 of 690 people found the following review helpful  Poor Looks; Outstanding Craftsmanship, By This review is from: Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer (Kitchen) 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...

I have used the steamer on prom dresses with great success. I am able to press a knife-edged crease in dress pants of all types of material. I think the best thing about this appliance is that I feel I am damaging our clothing LESS than if I were using an iron. Don't throw away your iron, however! I must still use it to finish off the collars and shoulders of my husband's work shirts. 241 of 243 people found the following review helpful Great purchase, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series 1300-Watt Garment Steamer (Kitchen) After borrowing a friend's ConAir steamer, and reading numerous reviews, I purchased this Jiffy from Amazon about a month ago. The Jiffy seems to be better-built than the ConAir, and puts out more steam, more consistantly than the model I borrowed.In the last month, I have steamed everything I can think of in my house, to see how it works. I have been pleased with this product, and here is what I have learned: 1) A steamer is not an iron. While I have read reviews of how you can press creases into clothing, I have not been successful in this (yet). I don't really care about creases, though, and have not spent much time trying. 2) A steamer is a tool. You have to learn how to use it properly to get good results. Steaming from underneath works better than steaming downward into the right side of the fabric. Just like anyone who uses a hammer a few times is almost certainly going to hammer their finger, you will probably burn yourself while you... Read more |
