The Tobi Steamer

I saw this on an infomercial last night. Anyone see this or have one?? Looks really neat!!! And great for someone like me who hates ironing!!

I haven't seen that yet. It does look neat.

I have it! I got it orginally to do my curtains because I wasn't about to try and iron those things, and quite frankly I'd rather do ANYTHING than iron. I hate it. I mean REALLY REALLY despise ironing.

To make a long story short, I ended up taking the stupid curtains down and took them to the dry cleaners to be ironed. This steamer does NOT work like it says. You have to go over shirts/pants/etc., over and over and over to get the wrinkle out. When it shows you going over a shirt and "voila", it's neatly pressed.. that's a CROCK! Can you tell I'm still bitter?
Stupid piece of crap. Okay, I'm done....

THANK you for the review!!!! Guess I won't be getting one . . . .

It looks cool. Bummer it doesn't work well.

Thanks for letting us know!

it did look pretty neat. but do any of the steamers out there really work? I have yet to really see one that does what it says it will do.

It does look cool. I have not seen it where I live yet on an infomercial only online here <snip>

Ironing is not one of my favorite chores, but if this really works five times faster I could handle that. Has anyone had any positive experiences with it?

umm we had a steamer when I worked at the childrens place..that worked. unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. it was an industrial one though...

I have the TOBI and I LOVE it.. I found it really really easy to use, not sure what you may have done wrong. I mean, it took me a couple of times before I got the hang of it but I have tossed the iron and only use the TOBI now :-)
