The Jiffy Steamer J-2000 garment steamer is the best-reviewed, full-size home garment steamer. For some people, this steamer replaces ironing, but most reviewers agree heavier fabrics still require the use of an iron. Reviewers say that this steamer removes wrinkles well and can freshen clothing well enough to postpone a trip to the drycleaner. Some reviewers caution that the hose becomes very hot and the wheels on the tank don't lock. You can find cheaper garment steamers, but these, including the Conair Compact Garment Steamer GS4 (*Est. $30) get far worse reviews.

The Jiffy Steamer J-2000 home garment steamer scores highly in a Good Housekeeping test. It is mentioned by several stylists on fashion websites and blogs, and it is the best-reviewed garment steamer on Amazon.com where almost 80 owners contribute to its high rating.
