Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Jiffy Garment Steamer with Plastic Steam Head, 120 Volt, Beige

Never thought I’d be someone who loves their steamer this much but I do! I originally bought it to steam my Indian wedding outfits. Ironing them can be a pain/impossible with the amount of fabric and heavy embroidery. I had every intention of either leaving it at my mom’s house or returning it after the wedding but I couldn’t! I’ve never been a fan of handheld steamers since they don’t really work but this thing is amazing! Like others have said, it won’t make hard creases in your clothes if you want that but it is very good at removing wrinkles from clothes. Since purchasing it I’ve used it on everyday clothes, Indian suits, and even my husband’s shirts, pants, and suits. It’s worked great for our needs! Haven’t had to pull out the iron in months. The steamer takes a minute or two to heat up. It will make a bubbling noise when water in the tank gets too low to create a constant steam. I usually refill it when it’s about half empty. It works best if you hang the clothing item against a surface then press the head of the steamer gently against the clothes. I bought a hanging steam mat also to put against the door and prevent damage from the steam. For longer clothes I will hang it from the top of thecloset door because the lower the steam hose is, the less steam comes out. It’s much better it it’s higher. It’s a little pricy but definitely worth it! It’s made life much easier. I actually miss it when I don’t have access to it like when we travel and need to dewrinkle our clothes.

I’ve tried so many handheld and travel steamers over the years, and nothing even comes close to the Jiffy. The difference in power is immediate. It produces a steady stream of steam within about two minutes. You can tell it’s built to last; the product feels professional-grade. I mainly use it for clothing, but I’ve also used it on bedding, and it works beautifully. It easily smooths out linen and thick cotton, and it even revives pieces that have been sitting in storage. I also love that I can refill it mid-session without having to wait for it to cool down. One small note: it’s not compact, so it’s more suited for a closet or laundry area than for travel. But that’s the trade-off for serious power and reliability. If you steam often or care about keeping your clothes looking crisp without ironing, this is absolutely worth the investment. It’s one of those products you buy once and never have to replace.

No, I am not an expert in fabric steamers, or even good at basic ironing. I bought this as a gift for my wife several years ago. She asked for a basic little hand-steamer that was advertised on TV. I looked it up and saw the horrendous reviews, decided that with the good reviews on this one, maybe it would be worth the extra money. Not only was I right, it has exceeded our expectations. This thing is built solid. Everything about it says quality. Nothing has ever failed or broken. No parts need replacing, no filters need changing. You do have to lift the solidly-made plastic water container out of the unit and fill it up with water every now and then (actually not that often, unless you use this thing for literally hours every day I guess). But for a daily touch-up of a shirt or dress, the water lasts a long time without refilling. Its easy to do, too. You lift the big contoured black handle, pull it straight up and out, go to the sink, unscrew the lid, fill it up with tap water, screw it back and put it back in. There is even a little handle on the bottom side to hold it while you are filling it with water--they thought this thing out well! No mess or spills either. Nothing has ever leaked. Yea, it does look a little dated and utilitarian. Who cares? It sits at the ready in the corner behind our refrigerator. You roll it out on the smooth caster wheels, flip the big switch which lights up a pleasing soft green when on, and in seconds you hear a gurgling sound and steam is pumping out of the wand, ready to get to work. The big switch can be easily turned on with your foot without even stooping if you want! The solid aluminum metal clothes hanger holds your garment securely. Just leave the clothes on a hanger, hang it on the rod, and sweep the wand around the fabric to get wrinkles out. No pulling out the squeaky ironing board, setting up a iron, no burning of clothes. Yep, you can burn your skin a little with the very hot steam from the wand if you are lazy and not paying attention--I did it a few times when I started using it, not anymore. Just be careful. Look, I'm a guy. I don't like to iron clothes, or even steam them. But this thing works so easily and takes so little time, I just try to listen to my wife when she tells me I need to iron my shirt. Frankly, this gift keeps on giving for years. She loves it, I love it. It makes us both happy when we use it! ;) Wrinkles fade out like magic when you use it. It actually works, it's easy to do, even kinda fun. It makes me feel good when I use it, cause it makes my wife happy. Seriously, that is worth its weight in gold, isn't it? As the label proudly states, it is made in the USA. Did I mention how easy it is to set this thing up out of the box? A little kid could do it (probably better than us). I've reviewed a lot of other stuff, but for some reason forgot to review this Original Jiffy Steamer when I got it, years ago. If I could give this product 10 stars, I would. There is nothing not to like about it.

I bought the Jiffy Garment Steamer with the metal steam head and glad I did. The metal steam head helps to rid wrinkles better than plastic. I've had a plastic head steamer once before. This product is very well made and made in the USA. I like that. It helps if you have something like the Jiffy Steamer Steamboard so that you can press the clothing onto a hard cloth surface but they are fairly expensive. TIP: I have my ironing board hung on a door so what I do is use a hanger and hang my clothing in a way that it can be pressed against the hanging ironing board. It works quite well. Any steamer is not going to give the same results on cotton as an iron but it does a great job on blends, polyester, jersey, crepe etc and it does it quickly. It also heats up quickly. I emailed Jiffy with questions before I purchased and here are the answers to my questions: 1. Will the metal steam head ever rust? 2. What it is made of? 3. Is the metal head ok for delicate fabrics like silk? 4. If I use distilled water, will that prevent build up in the tank and head and would I still need a liquid cleaner? 5. Could I use CLR instead of your product to clean the tank? "The metal will not rust. It is aluminum and any moisture that comes through the head is hot and will evaporate. The metal works great on delicate fabrics. If you are steaming silk, you may want to consider putting a stocking/panty hose over the head to prevent and water droplets from getting on the fabric. Distilled water will help prolong the calcium build up put will not prevent it. You will definitely need to clean it at least once every 6 months with our cleaner. I have heard our technicians say there is something in CLR that can hurt the element so I wouldn’t use it. You may use white vinegar and water every 3 months for maintenance. This will help tremendously."

When it comes to ironing, I'm just plain lazy! I've always dreaded the chore and used to spend a lot on dry cleaning services. I came across Jiffy Steamer J-2000 and was quite impressed by its sturdy base and features. I figured that if it works well then I could cut my dry cleaning costs. All the more, after reading all the reviews on amazon I decided to to take the plunge. Fortunately for me it worked perfectly. Of course it did take a couple of days to master the technique to get wrinkle free, pressed clothes, but it was worth it. I was amazed as to how quickly and efficiently the steamer heats up and removes the wrinkles on most of the garments. I just have to hang my t-shirts on a hanger and place it on the hook provided and then switch on the steamer. The result is quite impressive. It takes care of 90% of my wardrobe and is definitely a great appliance. Something I have to mention is that though the steamer works well on most of my garments, I still have to send my cotton shirts to the dry cleaners for the crispy look and perfect finish or IRON THEM MYSELF, so that I can wear them for a formal day out. No points for guessing that they land up at the dry cleaners! This is the reason I have given the product four stars. I highly recommend this product and my advice to anyone who is looking for a fast, easy, time saving substitute to ironing is to purchase this product.

Bought mine in 2012 and here we are January 2026. This thing is a beast and has been used so many times in so many ways I love this steamer! It is the holy Grail and workhorse of steamers does not compare to any of the handheld’s if you’re going to get one get this one it will last you for years.. take it from me, mine is still going strong after 14 YEARS!

I desperately wanted to love the Jiffy J-2000S. Its retro vibe, no-frills promise, and the fact that I splurged on the pink version (hoping it’d double as a chic home accessory) had me dreaming of effortlessly steaming my expensive suits and silk ties. What arrived was a colossal letdown, straight out of a 1940s farm shed. The disappointment begins the moment you open the box. Picture the flimsiest, most lackluster cardboard ever, so thin it might disintegrate if you sneeze. Inside? No foam, no bubble wrap - just a couple of sad, bent cardboard scraps to keep the contents from rattling like loose change. It sets the tone for what’s to come. First out of the box is a “key” for installing the hose: a crude, rusty-looking contraption that Grandpa Jiffy might’ve forged from an old gate latch. Then comes the hose itself, indistinguishable from the grimy, heavy rubber tube at a gas station pump, complete with a massive stainless steel coil and a brass fitting so mismatched it screams, “Why bother with cohesive design?” And that pink steamer I ordered? Surprise! It’s white plastic, adorned with a garish pink sticker, as if Jiffy’s idea of “pink” is a Post-it note slapped on at the factory. The whole unit looks like a prototype cobbled together from spare tractor parts; clunky, utilitarian, and utterly out of place in a modern home, let alone near high-end garments. Setting it up is no better. Instructions? Nonexistent. You pour water into a flimsy plastic jug, wrestle the gas-station hose onto the unit, and flip a switch that looks pilfered from a combine harvester. After priming (per vague online advice I had to hunt down), it spews steam, but even 20 minutes later, it spits water droplets like it’s auditioning to ruin my silk. The hose, meanwhile, heats up so much it could double as a branding iron - touch it and you’re nursing a burn. The pole? Laughably short. My pants drag unless I resort to hanging them on doorframes like some makeshift laundry setup. And the pole’s finish: after a chaotic medley of black rubber, stainless springs, brass fittings, and white plastic with a pink sticker, this steamer unit gets a final flourish of brushed aluminum, because apparently no one at Jiffy owns a color wheel. This steamer feels like it belongs in a barn, not a closet. It’s heavy, awkward, and so inelegant it’s practically an affront to my wardrobe. I wanted to test it thoroughly, but after one session, I’m convinced it’s more likely to scald my stuff than smooth it. I’m torn between returning this relic or banishing it to my parents’ basement, where they still iron their towels. But honestly, that scalding hose is too unwieldy even for them. It may break their shoulder, that’s how heavy it is. So, back it goes I guess… Shame on you, Jiffy. I’m off to invest in a steamer from a brand like Rowenta or Laurastar - companies that design for this century, not improvisations from Grandpa’s farm. $265.57 for this??? Like I said in the title: this thing is not worth more than $50. And that’s me being too generous.

Great product. Heats up quickly. Steams well
