Sale on The Original Steam Buddy for only $9.95 from COTD

The Steam Buddy is a handheld steamer that promises to remove wrinkles easily from a variety of fabrics. You fill it with water, wait a few minutes for it to heat up and press a button to emit steam. The official website recommends that the wrinkled garment be hung on a hanger so that the Steam Buddy can be moved along the surface of the fabric. However, the Steam Buddy receives poor reviews from professional reviewers and consumers alike for both performance and the quality of customer service. The Steam Buddy does a mediocre job on light fabrics, such as silk and sheer linen, but can't remove wrinkles from heavier fabrics like cotton. Some users say the Steam Buddy can damage fabric, leaving behind watermarks and mineral deposits, and can leak hot water. Some owners notice a smell of burning plastic. Most reviewers conclude that the Steam Buddy is not a good alternative to ironing.
