Was at Costco thorncliffe today and saw this on sale. Seems pretty good, given its $10 off the online sale price (total of $20 discount).

Looking to do less ironing. Will prob use steamer first and then use iron for creasing dress shirt/pants.

How is a steamer like this compared to an iron+board in terms of speed/results.

Got it, I didn't read the post well enough. Didn't see that OP already mentioned that they saw this in store. I just clicked the link.

So in an effort to reuse some of my grade 7 science education and cuz I have time, I wanted to try to calculate how much time this thing would work for, on one fill. Feel free to call out any mistakes.

Facts;
Super Turbo level: 28g/min steam flow, for stubborn areas
Convenient: a 190 ml removable water tank, steam locker

Assumptions;
As per most appliances, regular usage level would be maybe 10% less of Super Turbo level = 25.2g/min
High school science: 1 gram of water (g wt.) = 1.00 ml of water (ml)

Show my work;
190ml being used at 25.2g/min = 190ml/25.2ml = roughly 7.5min, +/- 1 minute depending how much the water the 25 second warm up uses and the size of the steam locker.

I don't think that would even be enough for a pair of pants. Hold on...let me go calculate the area of my pants before making that conclusion.

Not touching your calculations lol but commenting that I have a different Rowenta steamer and it works great, and water lasts for 2 full suits at least.

Which one is the one you are using? I'm really curious in how well these works compared to a normal steam iron and curing board, in terms of ease and result and speed.

Dunno about those calculations but you made me curious. I just steamed a pair of pants and over half left in the tank.

I find these steamers are a lot easier to get good results. You dont get awkward creases if you're not paying attention. Lets you be sloppier. Can also be used on sport coats and suits.

This is a good deal. Canadian Tire had the Conair equivalent for $60 two weeks ago. My Conair recently failed on me so I would definitely say for 22 less, this is a solid price IF you need this.

Darn I'd love to have one of these but can't get to a costco, and well sold out online. Although I do own a really good rowenta steamforce that's supposedly really good, jut don't use it...I think it has a steam blast function, Is that like semi as good as one of these?

I just bought it today, so prob not the best person to answer this. Definitely looks/feels like a quality product. Even has a standby mode where if u leave it on too long it turns off itself, thought mine was defected until I read instructions.

I've been ironing shirts and seldom dress pants the past decade. Really takes up a lot of time, although I do it in front of a TV. After working from home, realized how nice it was to not have to iron clothes...

I plan to steam dress shirt and pants first, then may iron select spots to get the crease marks, especially the collars and arms. As mentioned before, its a hassle to fix up unintended creasing from ironing.

It depends what results you want. This will stop your clothes looking sloppy (e.g., wrinkles from washing, dryer, previous wearing, etc.), but it won't make them look sharp (won't look like a freshly ironed dress shirt with perfect creases and stuff like that). That may be good enough, for me it is. I don't need my clothes to look like they just got dry cleaned when I go to work, I just need them to look non-terrible, and this gets there much faster and easier than ironing.

Check your dryers people. Alot of people dont know their dryer has a garment steam/steam dry option.

I broke a few stand up steamer due to minerals build up.
Would highly recommend using distilled water in steamers.

I am using the Conair version now, I like it. Its small and don't take up as much space.
