J-1 Jiffy Hat Steamer, 120 Volt,Grey

Don't use it that often, but SO glad I have it when needed. Works great! I have a lot of hats from all over the world that I wear almost daily (I'm bald), so I can reshape as needed with this steamer.

I'm going to say right up front, this was an excellent purchase! I bought this primarily for my three Resistol beaver fur cowboy hats.I've been shaping and reshaping my brims for around 25 years or so. I've used tea kettles and small pots with vented lids mostly. This last year I broke down and purchased a "garment" steamer from Walmart, I found out that my steam iron did a better job.I've looked at "professional" type hatters steamers before but the price was always too far out my reach for the average joe. Then I see the Jiffy Hat Steamer and it comes in just under $150. I've worn cowboy hats for most of my life and I figure I'll wear them til the day I die, so the investment of the Jiffy steamer was easily justified.Using the Jiffy Steamer is as easy as it comes. You fill up the water jug and tighten the cap, insert the jug into the steamers jug receptacle, plug in the power cord and turn on the power switch. I think it was about two minutes and steam was shooting from the spout. You get a nice steady blast of steam, and only steam, there was no water spitting like what I'd get from my steam iron. Even my garment steamer would spit water if you over filled it, and that thing would have to be refilled a couple of times to get the job done on even one hat.In less than 15 minutes, I lowered the crowns on two of my hats and reshaped the brims on all three. I turned off the unit and unplugged it, let it cool for a few minutes then emptied the water from the jug and just turned the unit upside down over the sink and emptied out the excess water in the unit and set on the counter to dry.In my neck of the woods, a store will charge you $25 a pop to do a block and brim shape, that means for the price to do my hats twice, I can buy the Jiffy steamer.........well, that's what I did. Once I do my hats a second time, the steamer will have paid for itself and to think, after that, my brim shaping will be free............you gotta love that!!This Jiffy steamer is easy to use and it does a great job, no interruptions of having to refill with water so it's also very convenient to use. I'm loving this purchase and glad I did it. Highly recommended!

Love the steamer. Use it on my cowboy hats.

This is a great home use hat steamer if you understand it’s proper application. The important thing to Remember is the better quality hat you have the more effective this item will be. For the higher quality beaver fur hats it works like a dream. If you have any of the less expensive felt or “crushable “ hats the steamer will not have much effect. I was amazed at how quick and easy it was to reshape and especially “dial in” the size of my higher quality hats. I steamed a couple of less expensive hats for over half an hour and the hats showed very little change whether steamed or dry. Maybe the cheaper hats could be reshaped more effectively if soaked in water. I just gave up. However for my best hats this steamer is indispensable.

Excellent quality, works great. Heats up quickly with very little wait time. Would recommend to anyone. Very pleased with this purchase.

Very durable, light and perfect for my usage. After unboxing making sure its turned off before plugging in. I did just that to go get water jugged filled and it was on. So there was burn smell i didn't realize it was coming from the steamer. Took awhile to realize it because I didn't use it right away. Happy there wasn't any damage to having it on without the water jug.Not a review on the steamer, just saying after you unbox it make sure the switch is off.

Company has been around for years my mom has had one for over 20 years, and it's still steaming. I got mine to shape hats, and works as it should. If you need one get a jiffy. I expect many years of use

Great hat steamer for your money
