Jiffy Steamer J-2000 Residential Series --------------------------------------- This sturdy, durable wand steamer presses s out of garments, drapes, and upholstery quicker and easier than an iron, and it doesn't "shine" or scorch fabrics like an iron can. Wand steamers are popular in the fashion and entertainment fields, where wardrobe crews must keep clothing immaculate while working quickly. This 1,300-watt steamer shoots high-velocity steam jets out of a 6-inch-wide head to smooth any fabric from sheer silk to thick wool. A removable water tank provides up to 90 minutes of steaming time. The steamer heats in a minute and then rolls to work on sturdy casters. Garments and drapes can be pressed where they hang, including closets, or garments can be hung from a loop atop the steamer's sturdy aluminum rod, which screws together to rise 62 inches above the floor. For storage, the rod has a holder for the wand. Indicative of the steamer's quality is the brass fitting attaching the hose to the tank. (A wrench to tighten the fitting is included, and it has magnets for storage on the base.) Other features include an automatic safety shutoff if the steamer runs dry and a stay-cool wand handle. The steamer's plastic base measures 11 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 14-1/2 inches deep. The steamer carries a one-year warranty against defects. Steaming vs. Ironing -------------------- Your clothes are an investment. Don't you want to apply the safest, gentlest method for removing s? To determine which method of removing s is the better option for fabric care, steaming and ironing were put to the test. * Two identical 6" x 6" squares of black wool were purchased from a local fabric store. * We steamed sample "A" for 1 minute with a Model J-2000 Jiffy ® Steamer. * Sample "B" was ironed for 1 minute, on the proper heat setting, with a top-of-the-line residential iron. * We then bagged, labeled, and submitted both samples to MVA Scientific Consultants in Norcross, Georgia for detailed magnification. The Scanned Electron Micro (SEM) images show any damage that may have occurred. Sample A (500x) Sample B (500x) Sample A (1000x) Sample B (1000x) The fibers in sample "A" are in near perfect condition due to the gentle nature of steam. However, the fibers in sample "B" are clearly distorted. You can easily recognize the damaged fibers caused by just one application of the iron's hot sole plate. Unlike ironing, steam actually relaxes the fibers rather than crushing them. Jiffy Steamer is family-owned and operated since 1940.
