Question: Does the handle and hose get super hot?  And how stable is the base, does it tip easily?
Document: The hose gets quite hot but the handle of the steam head is wide enough to keep the user comfortable.I found this to work well with linen, silk, polyester, and wool. It is not suitable for cotton if you want a pressed look. It definitely takes the wrinkles out quite efficiently. I find it suitable for clothing taken out of the dryer, immediately, or for a quick touch up. The ideal clothing are delicate fabrics than can easily burn with a conventional iron.
The base is stable, it's very tall and the roll and press support is a great design feature.
The entire system was cumbersome and not nearly as easy as everyone stated to use. Continuous flow of hot air (you just can't stop it) makes for a very hot house. The house placement does not make any sense when the system is in use so you either place the handle on the floor or try working with one hand. Not safe. Sent it back.
The unit turns on with an oversized push switch on the front of the unit that can be easily tapped with your foot, a huge perk if a person is a bit mobility impaired or has a hard time bending over. From cold water to steam was just under 60 seconds as advertised on the card attached to the unit.Another feature of the unit I thought was really attractive is a roll up screen that can stretches from the hanger to the base that acts as an upright support while you steam your clothes.
Replace the screw and tighten by hand. The top attaches to the Roll and Press Support in the same manner. Again the screw holes lined up nicely and I was able to tighten the screw easily.Pull the press support down like a window blind and attach it to the supplied catch. The steamer can be tilted back and rolled around like an IV stand which could be handy when freshening drapes without having to take them down.Take the water container out by the handle.
This steamer works good enough to replace a regular iron but it is too big. That's the biggest drawback. It's just a pain to take out and put back. Works good to get wrinkles out and makes a good impression for interviews and just having good looking clothes. The steam is hot, be careful to watch your hands and arms. Don't have children or animals around.
I've taken to awkwardly hanging them over the top of the frame instead.As far as handling goes, it's very easy to use. The plastic handle is one piece that leads directly into the steamer head; after a while the plastic gets a bit warm to the touch. The handle's also a bit short, and for me to hold it comfortably, I usually end up with the heel of my hand touching the hose that feeds steam into it, which gets hotter still.
On the other hand, it looks like I might be able to do away with  the ironing board...so I can just put it in that space I guess. :)4. If you get the wand too low (others have also pointed this out) the hose can sometimes get a little kink in it and you just have to adjust the hose and/or wand height for what you're doing.
We own a clothing store and have always used Jiffy steamers. I was anxious to give this one a try.The good news: Powerful steam capabilities, roll & press support is awesome, hanger at the top is a great idea.The bad news: It needs to be a foot higher and the hose needs to be made of a stiffer material. When steaming the bottom of a shirt, you need to get the hose way down, at which point it doubles over on itself and shuts off the steam.
I tried three different shirts until I finally found one that steamed out nicely, but it happens to be a super lightweight blouse that was barely wrinkled in the first place.The hook for the hanger isn't very deep, and my hanger fell off several times.
Answer: Not really, hose is braided, and plastic handle never get hot. The base is ok, keep in mind that base holds a gallon of water, which is adds even more weight to the base. Pretty descent steamer for the price.
