"Not a great steamer"
This steamer leaks hot water on your hands while steaming garments...it has a warning to keep it horizontal but that's almost impossible to do. Not great steam output, but better than nothing, though not much.

"USELESS"
Don't understand previous review. It was quick to heat up but only produced a very small amount of steam. You had to HOLD IT IN ONE SPOT for it to actually do anything, which was very little. Would still be here till the next ice age getting out wrinkles. TOTALLY USELESS.

"Marvelous Steamer ! ! !"
I ordered this item when my American Tourister steamer (also made by Franzus) began leaking after more than *20 years* of faithful service both on the road and here at home. I had been looking for several weeks since I'm pretty picky about my appliances. This steamer has exceeded my expectations in every category. It must have been designed by someone who actually uses the product--it is efficient, well-designed, easy to use, and very compact. The cord is ~8 ft long, making it usable even in those rare large hotel bathrooms where the outlet is far from the shower bar. The butterfly handle design is easier to use than other steamers on the market, affording level grip even to a jet-lagged traveller. The handles fold well flat against the body of the steamer. Comes with a brush head that I haven't tried yet (forgot to put it on the steamer while it was cool), and a drawstring bag for easy storage & packing. I am **thrilled** with this steamer !!! It's even better than the older version that I loved, obviously the company has paid attention to detail & continued to improve their product. I was so happy to find this is made by Franzus since I already know their high-quality based on the long life on my last Franzus-made steamer. The Micro Pro also steamed clothing wrinkle-free in less time than my old model. Great for at-home use too if you're like me and HATE to iron. Saves your fabric while making clothes look fresh from the cleaners or the dryer. I rate this Franzus Micro Pro Steamer a 5+++ for its compact good looks, clever features, and easy usability. Franzus thought of everything. If you've been shopping for a steamer--look no further !!
