Hi All, did a bit of poking around and only found older posts, so I thought I would reach out to see if there have been any new thoughts on what a good one is.

I have looked at the following

And

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T7N6Y2...TF8&colid=2NWTKQ1A1A0BP&coliid=I2NCNJWT9AOTKF



I am looking to spend no more than $100 +/- Does anyone have any good suggestions or reviews?

Thanks!

I would get this:

http://www.amazon.com/Jiffy-Garment...ywords=steamer&refinements=p_89:Jiffy+Steamer

The one with the plastic head. I know it's more than what you wanted to spend, but it's definitely an upgrade. I had a Sharper Image steamer for about a decade. I got it with some credit card rewards for about $20. It worked fine, but when the head hit the floor one time it cracked on the seam and so it would leak. It eventually just died out. The Jiffy Steamer above is what I now have. I'm pretty positive I only paid $150 for it. Anyway, it's of noticeably better quality and it's what they use in stores. The more expensive version without the fillable container takes much longer to heat up. This one heats up in a matter of seconds. The only thing I don't like about this one is that it doesn't have a stopper for the wheels, so it can move around a bit if you don't put something to hold it in place. Other than that I would highly recommend it.
