BLACK+DECKERCompact Handheld Steamer, HGS012P, 25-Second Heat Up, 1000 Watts, Removes Wrinkles from Fabrics, Clothing and Upholstery

I bought this to take down a wallpaper border. It saved me tons of time, worked great and was easy to use. Wallpaper came off so much easier than with spray remover or fabric softener (I’ve tried both). Steaming it off made it way less messy too! Just get the wallpaper nice and steamy, the glue melts and paper pulls off in huge strips. Glue residue and stubborn pieces can easily be resteamed and scraped off. At first I was wishing it was larger due to having to refill it so often. After a while I was happy with the size because it was light. The only thing I’d change would be to add an on/off light or make the switch be a toggle instead of a push button. After refilling there were a few times I wasn’t sure if it was on. If I’m ever dumb enough to use wallpaper again at least I know there’s an easy way to remove it. I cleaned the sticky glue from it and it’s now ready to be a clothes steamer.

Worked good for me, I steamed 1 linen valance with using about 3/4 of the water, no big deal to refill it. Worked very well in my opinion. I hate to iron so it was nice to have this. I then steamed my sons dress pants and shirt and that used about the same amount of water so depending on how wrinkly an item is you're probably going to use an entire water fill for an item but it was very easy to fill it up and start again. I like it, pretty light weight, easy to use

The media could not be loaded. Pros: it heats up fast and steams clothes effectively. Small and compact for traveling! Cord is long enough to make steaming garments easy. Cons: small reservoir depletes of water quickly. I can steam a shirt and pants and then need to refill. Reservoir design makes it hard to dry out before storing it properly. It takes sooo long to dry and I want it to dry completely so it doesn’t grow or smell bad. And it’s top heavy (as this is where the heating element is located) so I’m always worried it’s going to tip over and burn something like the carpet or table.

I had high hopes for the BLACK+DECKER Compact Handheld Steamer, especially since the brand has a reputation for reliable household products. Unfortunately, this steamer didn’t live up to expectations. While it’s lightweight and compact—great for travel—the actual performance was a letdown.The steam output was weak and barely made a dent in any wrinkles. Even with lighter fabrics, I had to go over the same spot repeatedly, and it still didn’t give the crisp results I was hoping for. To make things worse, the water tank runs out very quickly, which made the whole process feel inefficient and time-consuming.Another major issue was leakage. Several times, water dripped out while using it, soaking my clothes and hands. On one occasion, it stopped producing steam altogether, even though it was still powered on. The heating time also didn’t match the advertised 25 seconds—it felt longer every time I tried to use it.I really wanted to like this steamer, but between the water leaks, underwhelming steam output, and short run time, it just isn’t a reliable tool. I don’t recommend this product, even if you’re just looking for a travel steamer. Back to the drawing board on this one, BLACK+DECKER.

I shared a picture of one side of my curtain panels prior to using this steamer, and a picture of the other side after it was steamed.It was super easy to use, and I only had to fill the water container twice (the panels had creases from being folded in their packaging), although they're more sheer-like and not heavy at all, it got the wrinkles out, which was the whole reason I bought the steamer in the first place.To me, it's super convenient for simple jobs, versus having to use an actual iron and a bulky ironing board. It's also comfortable to handle and a decent size for the task. It heats up pretty fast!It makes a weird noise when it's sucking the water into the tubing, but it seems to be nothing more than the noise it's meant to make (I'm adding this, because I saw a review video, where someone complained about the noise and claimed it wasn't working, but it was the exact same sound mine makes when it's heating up and sucking the water out of the reservoir).

Works well. Cord could be longer (I need to use extension cord) doesn’t hold a lot of water but result is unit is easy to hold

Easy to use. Warms up quickly. Wrinkles disappear quickly usually with one pass. Some of the more “stubborn” wrinkles will need 2 or 3 passes before they disappear.The steamer is lightweight and easy to fill.

This is just okay. It’s much too light. It feels cheap and flimsy. It does heat up quickly. It uses a tank of water very quickly. One shirt and it was almost empty. The steam button sticks. This happened after one use. I’m not impressed. I regret this purchase
