thank you for doing this video. I just received my Steam Press today and was trying to understand how it worked. Your video was right on point. Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to create this great tutorial. I had the option of purchasing this one or the Singer. I purchased the Steamfast because of you. I love it!
Hi. Thank you so much for an excellent video. Your very informative video encouraged us to buy it and so far it’s working great for pressing sheets. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this informative video. I did buy on Amazon for $240 and I got the stand for it. Excited to use it I hate ironing. 😀 because of your video now I know what I’m getting into thanks again.
I ordered mine a couple months ago but have not used it yet I need a day to do video and this was great I’m now confident that I can plug it up and use it thanks
Correct. Steam only releases when you press the button on the handle. Some material dont require steam so I like the fact that I can control when steam is released. Make sure you use distilled water too.
Thanks for this descriptive video. I just received this steam press for Christmas. I plan on using it to save time with applying interfacing to tote bags I make. After watching your video , I feel confident that I made a good decision in asking for this unit as a gift. 😊
Hi there 👍 this steamer is almost the same as the one I have at home 😊 Could I please ask a question Do I need some kind of heat protection on the top part of My Steamer. Many thanks for all your videos 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, very clear explanation and direction. I purchased the HomeTronix Electronic Steam Iron, which is a similar model. I have found it very helpful.
Just purchased today for my sewing crafts, clothing/quilts. The only problem was the video was kinda dark, need more lighting in the future, other than that, great review and easy demo on how it works. Thank you.
An Angel from fb let me borrow this unit from her! I honestly just need a heat press but DAMN! THIS UNIT IS IMPRESSIVE!!! (no pun intended) I haven't decided yet if I'm going to purchase one or just a cheaper heat press. The size and durability of this is def appealing!!! (I'm still in shock that she let a virtual stranger borrow this magnificent device!) There are still good people around, folks! They're the ones we need to protect at all costs! Thanks for the tutorial! I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing before operating it bc I'd feel HORRIBLE if I damaged this beauty!
I have been researching for a steam press for a long time to use for slacks. Your video was excellent and detailed. I am shortlisting this product. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Can you tell me how much space is required for this on all sides, especially from front to back for opening the handle. Trying to figure out where it could fit. Also, can you use it without steam? Thanks.
Cool! I like it too, great machine 👍 Thanks for the compliment too, I tried to make it so that it shows everything there is to know about the steam press.
Thanks, really helps to see before purchasing! Not sure if I'm going to get one but I sure want one for fabric yardage for quilting and for interfacing t-shirt fabric for t-shirt quilts.
Thanks, Allen. I received mine and used it for the first time today. I tried it out on pillowcases and sheets. Would you mind showing how you would steam a top sheet? Thanks!
I haven't done any sheets but I have done many many tablecloths, I imagine they would be similar to iron. When I get some time I'm going to put together a quick video.
I bought the steam fast SF-623 I had expectations with this after watching videos. After one pair of pants I find that my iron does a better job maybe your model does a better job than the SF-623
@@chaircoverschicago neither did I I clicked on it on Amazon thought it’d be great feels a bit off IMO imma return it and spend the extra $100 for the $680 I want firm results like I see online for starched jeans and shirts
Yes I still like the steam press. I use it all the time, almost daily. I can't recommend another brand because this is the only one that I have owned. Rotary irons are usually bulky and cost thousands of dollars compared to a steam press which is a few hundred dollars.
Hi, how do you clean the top plate that heats up like an iron. I use mine a lot and my hot part is brown with stains. I am frustrated as my quilting fabric is getting stained. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for this review. Given the length of the board is 25" long , atleast 5" less than an average adult L shirt or Tee, this may take between 6-8 presses to complete a shirt. It is not clear whether business wear - pants with creases can be pressed. Any additional inputs will be helpful.
Thanks for the review, after checking several recommendations, decided to go with this one, hope it works on jeans! Went with your recommendation ordered via Amazon. I’ll let you know my thoughts!
I actually use it on jeans sometimes and it works great. It's a good machine overall. Worth every dollar. Thanks for buying through my Amazon link too. Come back and let me know what you think of it after you use it a few times.
Now that you have had the steamer for over a year do you feel it was a good purchase. I have seen reviews that it leaks oil or rust on clothes did you have any experience like that or is product dangerous to use did you get burned.
It was a good purchase for sure. It doesn't leak anything at all and still works like the day I got it. I am still using it almost daily for my linen rental business. It's not dangerous to use. Just dont touch the hot plate and no worries. Did you buy one?
Thank you for your review of this product! I do have a question that may need a follow up picture if you don't mind.. I have a few uniforms that need crisp "lines" down the center of the shirt. Does this function more as an ironing board, or is there a picture demonstration where you can show it actually presses the shirt into a nice line? Thank you again!!
I always leave the water in it and don't have problems. I just tried to remove or slide it out and I wasn't able to slide it out. I tried pulling it a bit but stopped because I didn't want to break it. Let me know if this answers your question.
@@MaythamNoor I don't know if you can. I don't use it everyday, when I store it there is always a little water in it. I just lay it flat when I store it .
I've been doing some research and there aren't too many video reviews on steam presses out there... How durable would you say this one is? Do you know if the machines that laundromats use are similar?
It been durable for me. I use it almost daily for my event rental business and nothing has gone wrong or broken on it. Laundromats use larger, more industrial, steamers I believe.
I never do, I just leave the water in the plastic reservoir. It doesn't hold a lot of water and it has never spilled out. Hope this answers your question Foster Brown.
i can verify that this model is solid , bought my unit used from craigslist in 2011, 11 yrs and running strong and with great results
Very solid. I am still using mine almost daily and no problems.
This is easily the best tutorial clip I’ve ever seen. You went into great detail and did an excellent job explaining what you were doing. Thanks 👍👍
Appreciate the compliment and glad the video helped you out.
I am looking to buy one for ironing material before sewing. This was great information. Thank you.
No problem, glad I was able to help. I still use my machine all the time.
thank you for doing this video. I just received my Steam Press today and was trying to understand how it worked. Your video was right on point. Thank You
No problem. I'm glad the video helped you out. It's a nice machine.
Just received my steam press & found your video to be very informative & helpful , Thank You!!!
Awesome! Glad I was able to help.
Just ordered today...I plan to use for affixing interfacing to fabric. Thanks for the review!
No problem, I'm glad my review helped you out! It's a good machine.
Thank you for taking the time to create this great tutorial. I had the option of purchasing this one or the Singer. I purchased the Steamfast because of you. I love it!
No problem. Glad the video helped you out. I love mine too!
Just bought one of this. I hate reading instructions. Thanks for the video. Got the sp660. Very helpful video. Thanks
No problem.
Hi. Thank you so much for an excellent video. Your very informative video encouraged us to buy it and so far it’s working great for pressing sheets. Thank you!!
No problem, glad to hear you like the machine.
Im actually going to purchase this! Can't wait to purchase. Thank you
No problem. It's a good machine. I still use mine all the time.
Does it only shoot out steam, or does the plate also become hot, like an iron?
The top plate becomes hot too depending on the material setting you use.
Thanks so much for this informative video. I did buy on Amazon for $240 and I got the stand for it. Excited to use it I hate ironing. 😀 because of your video now I know what I’m getting into thanks again.
No problem, you are welcome. Let me know what you think of the stand for it, right now I am placing it on a table or on the floor when I'm using it.
I ordered mine a couple months ago but have not used it yet I need a day to do video and this was great I’m now confident that I can plug it up and use it thanks
No problem. I'm still using mine all the time and still no problems with it.
So the steam doesn't come out automatically when you close it? I think that's a bit silly but I'm still buying one
Correct. Steam only releases when you press the button on the handle. Some material dont require steam so I like the fact that I can control when steam is released. Make sure you use distilled water too.
Thank you very much for this video! I have opened mine today, and your video has been very useful to clarify a few things.
No problem, hope you like the machine as much as I do.
Thanks for this descriptive video. I just received this steam press for Christmas. I plan on using it to save time with applying interfacing to tote bags I make. After watching your video , I feel confident that I made a good decision in asking for this unit as a gift. 😊
I just used mine today! Come back and let us know what you think about or let me know if you have any questions.
I just ordered the 36 inch model, your link is to the 25 inch model. Which model are using? I can see you are the 25 inch model.
36 inch model? That must be a new one because I have never seen that one before.
Really helpful - I'm thinking of buying one. Would it be good for bedding though?
It would be good for bedding. I use it for large tablecloths and works great.
Hi there 👍 this steamer is almost the same as the one I have at home 😊 Could I please ask a question Do I need some kind of heat protection on the top part of My Steamer. Many thanks for all your videos 👍👍👍👍👍
No heat protection is needed. I have been using mine like you see in the video and have not needed any sort of heat protectuon.
This is a good review - thank you for posting.
No problem. Glad it helped you out.
Thank you for the great tutorial. Purchased this machine a while ago and just now getting ready to use it.
No problem. It's an easy machine to use.

I haven't changed my mind. I'm still using it and it's working just fine.
Best video instructions. Thank You!
No problem Kathleen. Glad it helped.

Thanks, I'm glad you found the video helpful! That was my goal, to make a review that was detailed and useful.
Very helpful! I just ordered mine. I own a fine dining restaurant and House rental. I need it for table cloths, sheets and pillow cases.
Great. I'm sure you wont be disappointed.
شكرا على مراجعة هذا المنتج حقيقي انا ابحث عن شخص يقييم هذا المنتج ❤
Great demo! I am about to order one, thanks
Thanks! It's a nice little machine. I still have mine and it's working great.
Thanks for this video. Can you tell me how much space is required for this on all sides, especially from front to back for opening the handle. Trying to figure out where it could fit. Also, can you use it without steam? Thanks.
Nice review, thanks. I’m looking for a cheaper mangle, does it flatten out the fabric at all?
It doesnt flatten out fabric like a mangle but it has a good surface area for press ironing
thank you for posting this. Great job
Thanks! You are welcome.
Awesome tutorial I just purchased one and love it
Cool! I like it too, great machine 👍 Thanks for the compliment too, I tried to make it so that it shows everything there is to know about the steam press.
Just bought one and trying tomorrow
Great, let us know your opinion of it.
Awesome video. Very helpful. Thank you.
I'm glad it was helpful. It's a good machine that I'm still using.
Perfect for my ironing area
That's great! It's a nice machine.
A nice tutorial Allen.
Thank you.
@@chaircoverschicago you’re welcome
It's a lifesaver. Thanks for the video.
No problem
Thanks, really helps to see before purchasing! Not sure if I'm going to get one but I sure want one for fabric yardage for quilting and for interfacing t-shirt fabric for t-shirt quilts.
Glad I was able to help you out. This is a good machine. Still going strong for me.

How long or how many items does the 10oz water tank last?
It really depends on how long you hold down the steam button.
I bought the steam fast SF-623 I had expectations with this after watching videos. After one pair of pants I find that my iron does a better job maybe your model does a better job than the SF-623
That's odd. I dont know about the 623 but my model, the 680 works great.
@@chaircoverschicago neither did I I clicked on it on Amazon thought it’d be great feels a bit off IMO imma return it and spend the extra $100 for the $680 I want firm results like I see online for starched jeans and shirts
@@chrisarmijo8371 good idea. Come back and let me know how the 680 is for you once you get it.
Do you still like this steam press? What other brands would you recommend? Also, why not a rotary iron instead?
Yes I still like the steam press. I use it all the time, almost daily. I can't recommend another brand because this is the only one that I have owned. Rotary irons are usually bulky and cost thousands of dollars compared to a steam press which is a few hundred dollars.
Hi, how do you clean the top plate that heats up like an iron. I use mine a lot and my hot part is brown with stains. I am frustrated as my quilting fabric is getting stained. Thanks for any help.
Good question. I haven't cleaned mine yet so I'm really not sure. If you figure out what works let me know.
I am going to try vinegar and baking soda make into a paste put it on and let sit then wipe off. I hope that works. Will let you know.
@@denansundance Seems like that would work. Let me know how it works. Mine isn't dirty enough that I need to clean it yet.
I brought one for my embroidery business
Did you start using it yet? What do you think of it?
Do you need to do a descaling like some irons? Looking on purchasing one for my work shirts and ties
Never have to descale as long as you only use distilled water.
Thanks a lot. Convinced me to buy it.
It's a good machine. I just finished ironing 13 tablecloths with it and it performed great.
Thanks for this review. Given the length of the board is 25" long , atleast 5" less than an average adult L shirt or Tee, this may take between 6-8 presses to complete a shirt. It is not clear whether business wear - pants with creases can be pressed. Any additional inputs will be helpful.
Business wear pants can be creased. An adult large shirt can be done in 4 presses. It does require some practice to get good at using it.
Well done, very helpful, Thanks!!!
No problem. You are welcome Jeremy.
Might just order one my self!
It's a good machine that is worth the money you'll spend.
Please can i get this here in Nigeria for my commercial laundry business?
Yes there is an Amazon link in the description where you can order it from.
Thanks for the info, very well presented. God bless!
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
Thanks for the advice
No problem
Can this be use as a everyday press or would you recommend a different press?
I think it can be used as an everyday press. I use it at least 3 days a week.
Great tutorial, thank you!
No problem
Is it really that good? Is it faster than the traditional hand Iron? How does it work with heavier cloths like jeans?
In my opinion it is good. Way faster than using a hand iron. It works well on jeans as long as you use the water mist.
@@chaircoverschicago Cool
Thanks for the review, after checking several recommendations, decided to go with this one, hope it works on jeans! Went with your recommendation ordered via Amazon. I’ll let you know my thoughts!

@@krushkrushemz1718 Yes, there is some creasing but it's not too bad.
Thank you sir. Gotta get My wife and I one 👍🏼
No problem, did you buy one?
I will check it out after your review
It's a good steamer. Still works great for me.
Great review, I'll buy it. Thnks
Thanks. There is an Amazon link to this model in the video description.
Thank you for the information
You are welcome.
My steam press came with a foam pad block thing. Do you know how to use it? I don’t know what it’s purpose is
Mine did too, I don't even know where it is anymore. No idea what it is for.
How i purchase
Go to Amazon link in video description for free shipping.
thanks mate for the review ,i'm going to give it a try , this will be my second steam press im going to put under heavy test.

No problem.. I think I can help out with some pictures or a video. What is the material of the shirt?
@@chaircoverschicago cotton and wool.
Alright, I will test it out to see if it makes a line or not and let you know.
@@chaircoverschicago thank you very much!
Can I ask if there is any left over water, will the draw slide out fully to empty it ? Greetings from Liverpool 🇬🇧

No problem
I really needed this review thank you
You are welcome. Happy to help.
Great Review 👍🏼 just bought one
Cool! I'm glad you liked the review. It's still going strong for me!
Very similar to the Singer; I wonder if they're the same other than color.
I have no idea. I'm not familiar with the Singer models.
Great review!
Thank you.
Very nice tutorial. I would be interested to see how well this works on clothing as well.
If I find some time for a follow up video I will include pressing more clothing.
thanks mate, really nice review
You are welcome! The steam press has been working really well for me.
Thanks for the review
No problem.
Thanks for this video
No problem at all.
Good starter video
Thanks
How do you take the water out when you're finished if Not planning on ironing anymore clothes
I never do, I just leave the water in the plastic reservoir. It doesn't hold a lot of water and it has never spilled out. Hope this answers your question Foster Brown.
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
I would have liked to have seen you steam press a shirt with buttons also showing how to do the sleeves
@@Tubbytubsterify maybe if I do a follow up video.
Thanks for the review!
No problem Margo, I sincerely like this steam press. It's been working great for me!
Helpful video. Thanks
Thanks just unboxed mine
Great. Let me know what you think of it.
