I steamed a golf shirt within 20 minutes of opening the box. The pocket steamer worked excellent! I know this baby will come in handy for all of my golf trips to come. The best part is that it fits In my suitcase or duffle bag with out taking up alot of space, and you dont have to give up any steam power because of its size. I noticed people complaining about not enough water in its tank - listen folks this is mainly for travel , steaming things on the go. You're not going to be steaming  a wardrobe full of clothing at once. The water trough is perfect for 3-4 articles b4 refilling.
