Unfortunately this product isn't very good, and quite frustrating to use. The steam production is fine when the handle is placed on the apparatus, when you go to use the steamer the cord continually pinches/kinks thus causing intermittent steam and terrible noises. I took a chance on this product based off of the positive reviews and unfortunately that was a mistake. I have used two different brands of steamers previously with success (my last on required replacing after many years of daily use) and unfortunately this product fails to meet their quality. I regret my purchase and I am disappointed in the long wait of anticipation for it to arrive (approximately 3 weeks) to only be let down. I do not recommend.
