Shark Press and Refresh

AWESOME!
I like to think of myself as a true ironer. I love the look of pressed clothes and when i saw the press and refresh i knew i had to try it out. Although i have tried other garment steamers in the past and have been disappointed, i went ahead and purchased this product. The vertical ironing pad is amazing! It's so much easier to maneuver clothing on the pad when its hanging instead of trying to fight it on the ironing board. I think the best part was i don't have to worry about taking it down off my door to store! The steamer itself works great! I must admit, it took a few times of using it to get the hang of it. It's one of those products that you have to really get the technique down to appreciate it, but the results were great! I'm not advocating it will completely eliminate your iron, but it sure does give a nice pressed look to clothes especially those you would never want to touch your iron with. I was nervous in the beginning to try it on more delicate fabrics, but it really...

Very happy I bought this!
I am a working professional and I was looking for an easier way to care for my "dry clean only" clothing. I wear a suit daily and usually wear a shirt that needs special care. I hate ironing and I avoid buying clothing that tends to get wrinkly or needs ironing. I have owned steamers before and I have not been very impressed. After buying this steamer I was extremely impressed!
Here are the pros:
-It comes with great extras; lint remover, extra steaming pads, water fill cup that makes refilling the machine easy.
-The over the door idea is wonderful if you hate having to drag out an ironing board or have limited space. Even the little clips that come with it stay in place and grab your garments very well.
-It is ready to use in a minute. Easy to use.
-Unlike other steamers I have used this one comes with an extra way to get rid of wrinkles besides the steam. It has a wrinkle eraser pressing bar that has been really useful for getting tough wrinkles...

FITS THE BILL
I decided to write a review on this because I realized how much I depend upon these reviews to purchase items. I almost decided against buying this item because of some comments, but after reading others, it sounded like it "fit the bill" for me, and it has. First, this will not replace an iron. I have owned numerous steamers, including a heavy-duty retail model. You can't steam a man's cotton shirt and expect to get a crisp, starched look. Like some of the other reviewers, I was looking for a steamer to do a fast, touch up on suit wrinkles or blouses. For my lifestyle, ironing is not in the picture, so clothes are either sent to the cleaners or washed and quickly steamed. Someone had complained about the time it took to heat up. I timed it, and it was under 2 minutes. My biggest gripe about clothes steamers is the water dripping. I did not experience this with this steamer. It has a special head specifically to prevent it. I did notice that when I included the brush attachment,...
