Steamers are pretty handy. I have owned one before. I really like how this one was made. Definitely more storable and will travel easier. I really appreciate the foldable head of this unit. It locks in place nicely while in use. They include the little cup to add water to it. It pours nicely too! The unit heats up quickly. You have to keep the button depressed to keep it running. It takes a while to cool down though, even unplugged, so keep it out of reach for kids and animals. Overall well made and easy to use. Love the included storage bag as well. Perfect for travel. I did receive this to test, but all opinions are honest and my own.
