This is a super steamer that does the job quickly. My problem is I am tall and I need the clothes to hang higher than this will allow. Any solution?

I’m not sure if the steamer works well because this is my first one. I might not even be any good at steaming because I can’t seem to make my clothes look smooth and I keep burning my fingers. The unit, although easy to put together is a monster in the closet. It takes up most of the space in there. The rod doesn’t seem to hold the hanger all that well and I feel like I’m chasing my clothes all around it while burning not only my finger, but also my legs because of the super stiff hot hose. I only wish I hadn’t thrown out the original box, because I can’t return it now.

I’m a steamer fan, and this one works quickly and well. My only complaint is that it’s so tall. I’ve had steamers in the past where the pole telescoped down to a more inconspicuous height. That said, this one is ready to go very quickly and emits the appropriate amount of steam, making for speedy and effective use.

This J-2000 is a very solid, appliance. I was very impressed at the quality of the materials when I unpacked the unit. Solid case, thick hose and very nice Aluminum hang bar. It works great. AGAIN, this is not an iron so do not compare it to an iron. It steams great and works almost like an iron. We looked at a lot of different makes and models and they were all pretty cheap. Looked at the reviews here on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. We are very pleased, and even more so since it is actually made here in the good old USA!!! Another great reason to buy (I do not work for Jiffy, I promise).

This machine puts out a lot of steam. I gave it four stars because the hanger pole is a little too short. (and I’m not a tall person) Other than that, it is very good. However, I have gone back to my iron for pants and cotton shirts. The iron does a better job faster. I also use a fine-mist water bottle for all of my not so permanent press items. I just place them on a hanger, mist, and let them dry. It is fast, easy, cheap and much cooler. I’ll probably keep my steamer to use when removing wallpaper.

Studies have shown that soft bedding should not be placed under infants, regardless of the way they are placed to sleep because it has the potential to cover their noses and mouths, blocking their airways. This is true for pillows as well.

Of 206 cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) the study examined to discover what factors were associated with the cause of death, about 30 percent of the infants were found with their noses and mouths covered by soft bedding.

The majority of the infants in the study were placed on their stomachs to sleep, and were found lying face down on top of pillows, comforters or other bedding with enough softness to allow a pocket to form beneath the infant’s head. Pillows, which were often adult-sized, and comforters were usually placed beneath the infant for added comfort.
In spite of the original sleep position, the researchers established soft bedding to be unsafe. Nine infants in the study had turned from either their backs or sides onto their stomachs, and were found with their airways covered.

Always use a firm crib mattress for your baby, ensuring that there is no space between the mattress and the crib rails for the baby to get caught in. Do not place soft, fluffy products, such as pillows, comforters or sheepskins under infants while they sleep or nap. Place healthy infants on their backs to sleep, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Studies have shown that placing babies on their back to sleep may reduce the risk of SIDS by nearly fifty percent. Though there is no sure way to keep your baby safe, following the advice of your pediatrician is the best route to go. Never give an infant under 1 year of age a pillow to sleep with, and ask your doctor before you begin use of a pillow with your baby.
