SteamfastSF-623 Mid-Size Steam Press with Multiple Fabric Settings and Steam Burst Function, Black, 20.47" L x 17.16" W x 6.73" H

Works fine. Wish that it was slightly bigger.

I received my press and am THRILLED!! I make costume and uniforms for cocktail waitresses. When I am working on multiple uniforms, it can be tedious to iron on interfacing on 20 or more outfits! Using the press takes less than a 3rd of the time, and is SO EASY! I haven't used the steam much yet, but I am certain it will serve me well!!

The SF-623 is a very fragile toy & is not designed to last! I made a mistake buying this unit. For context, I have been a HAPPY Steadfast customer for 10+ years. Previously we have owned 2 of the bigger models and found each of them to be durable, each lasting more than 2-4 years with weekly usage. This SF-623 unit is smaller, looks to be similarly designed, but after using it only for the 4th time (usually we use it for 1-2 hours each time), it only lasted 30 minutes and then stopped heating up & it no longer works. I have subsequently plugged it in & although the lights come on (very pretty), the main functionality of the HEATED Metal and Steam is non-existent (yes, the cartridge does still have water in the reservoir). I tried to report this to Amazon ~60 days after my purchase, and was notified that it is beyond the time limit. This was a bad buy!!!

I debated on buying this for months, read and reread the reviews and wondered if ironing was really the at bad, and whether this would help me get through ironing my clothes quickly and/or skipping the dry cleaners going forward.As other reviewers have noted, it is much smaller than you envision, and at first I questioned whether to even turn it on and try it because the size was so small (see pic for reference, I have small hands).I have had a basket full of “needing to be ironed” clothes, holiday table cloths, cloth napkins and linen bags I had washed and dried and had been avoiding like the plague. Clearly I have enough clothing otherwise as this pressing event turned out to be more than 60 items! As you can see in one of the pictures, I ran out of hangers and had to drape the items over a chair.The Results:I managed to press all of them (relief!) in about 20% of the time I would have had to iron them by hand previously. YES, as others have commented, getting collars or any capped sleeves or decorative waists that are bunched to come out crisp and perfectly pressed can be difficult as compared to an iron, but I managed to get them done by stretching the fabric over the bottom plate, or maneuvering it creatively. Luckily, I am short, so my shirts and pants were not overly large compared to the pressing plates - IF you wear a L/XL or will be pressing clothing items of that size regularly, I would absolutely pay the extra $100 and get the larger unit. I don’t normally iron with every load of laundry, but if I did, I could see the 2 inch smaller width and 5 inch smaller length on this unit becoming annoying and regretting my purchase. For me, this will work and the steam function/cotton setting covered a variety of fabrics just perfectly! Overall, definitely a savings from having things pressed or dry cleaned, a big time saver over ironing, and once you get the hang of it, very easy to use. I have it four stars because the price of the unit for the size is not ideal. Also, as others have stated, it does make those loud, steam pop noises on occasion, which hopefully will not be an issue later.Check out the photos for more info.

Died but still replaced by excellent support team!Thanks Elijah!!!!

Good brand but this one is smaller than I expected and the controls didn't work like I felt they should. I upgraded to the next size up and am extremely happy with it. This might work great for small jobs around the house, but to use for sewing room, I am thrilled with larger size.

Worked well!

Great product for my home use! I'm terrible with ironing tasks, lacking all skill and motivation. This baby makes it a snap. It's so much nicer to plop it on the counter than it is to wrestle with a big ironing board and the cord of a regular hand iron. I got it mainly because we use cloth dinner napkins every night and when guests came it was taking forever to press them or I was embarrassed by the disarray of their creases (especially the outer seams which always crease hopelessly.) I went through all of my napkins quickly, making them beautiful again and keeping the drawer tidier. Here is the BEST PART: The creases are staying out through multiple washes. I feel like I've hit the jackpot on my napkins alone, even though it's working for much more too. So happy I splurged.
