The Rowenta Access Steam Pocket Hand Steamer is the first steamer I have ever owned.  I remember the clunky types that really never impressed me much.  This little hand held wonder impresses me a lot!  It is so easy to use, light weight, comfortable and compact.  It heats up in less than 10 seconds!  This is the perfect travel item.  I have one shirt that I hang to dry so it doesn't shrink.  I figured this would be the best test to see how the Rowenta Steamer worked.  I was so happy!  No more ironing for me!  You are going to love this steamer!
