I have one. They augment, don't replace, irons though, so if that's your motivation I wouldn't bother. But if your aim to steam wrinkles out of a suit jacket or other fabrics that shouldn't be risked near an iron than go for it. Bottom line is that it cuts down on the bill from your cleaners.

As Matt mentioned, a steamer is used to augment the usage of your iron and stretch out the time between your trips to the dry cleaners. Steamers are great for giving a quick touch up to fragile garments and is not as damaging as the use of an iron is. To have the sharp edge look, you still will need to use an iron.

Happy Steaming!

yes.
No single man should be without one. Period.

I can't remember the last time I used an iron honestly, but it has got to be sometime in 2003!

Yes, I have one.

No, I'm not satisfied. I only use it on frail materials.

Don't lose the ironing board just yet.
