"This couldn’t be easier to use. Open the top (following the instructions for which way to open or close), pour in water to just below the Max line, put the top back on, plug it in, flip the switch and wait for around 60 seconds. It’s very small so I end up needing to refill for every garment, but the size also lends itself to portability. I had the best results when I held the garment taught with one hand and used the steamer like an iron with the other. Despite giving a 5 star rating for durability, I can’t actually comment on it as I’ve only owned the steamer for a few days now. But overall, I am very happy with the product."
