For those of you who are readers of Threads, Sew News, Vogue Patterns and many other sewing publications, you know that Cecelia Podolak is amongst other talents, a genuine “pressing expert”. One of the few people that can actually claim this title.
A few months back I called Cecelia to see if she would do a review of our new Digital Velocity V100 iron. A short time later I received in my inbox the most detailed product review a manufacturer could hope for. It is a testament to the type of person Cecelia is, that her review expands a little over four pages long!
If you are looking for a new iron, you owe it to yourself to read her analysis of this remarkable product. You can read the full review here, with thanks to Cecelia for her permission to have the article appear on this blog.
This goes under the category, “Should have posted it weeks ago”.
Kelly’s husband Rick has bought four irons in the last 15 months…. well, you can read the whole thing on Kelly’s I Have A Notion blog.
Thanks for the great review Kelly.
“A great plus about the Steamboy T1 Steam Floor Mop is that there are no mop buckets filled with cleaner to haul around and that it doesn’t leave your floors slippery or wet. This is wonderful for our household filled with small children who are prone to slipping on even damp floor surfaces. My floors are gleaming clean without the use of toxic chemicals and cuts the time of cleaning floors in half!”
I had to post this one just for the image of the kid kissing the Steamboy. Priceless.
When we entered the steam floor mop category some years back, we were just about the only one in it. Funny the difference a few years can make.
Today, the steam floor mop category is one of the fastest growing segments in the housewares industry, with as much as 12% growth year to year. This is an amazing statistic when you consider the state of the economy, and I think it reflects well on how useful a steam floor mop can be. Consumers have picked up on the utility of stick mops, and the growing range of choices reflects this.
We are always pleased then, when a reputable review site like About.com tests one of our products, and decides to give it a four out of five star rating.
Sarah Aquirre of About.com cites, “I was impressed by its ability to remove the toughest sticky areas from floors with only water. The ability to control the amount of steam was helpful when mopping ceramic tile floors that needed less steam to clean them thoroughly. The triangular swivel head made reaching under kitchen cabinets and into corners an easy task.”

I know I’ve been AWOL lately, so without further adieu, here is a nice review of our professional G4 fabric steamer as seen through the eyes of a mommy blogger at mommypr.com.
I’ve been saying for years that a professional grade steamer like the G4 is in the reach of most consumers. Many people base their buying decision on a) price and b) features. In my opinion it should be a) quality of components, b) features, c) price. I know as the manufacturer I’m a little bit biased, but after all, what’s the point of a cheap steamer if it doesn’t last or work the way it is supposed to… regardless of the price.
This is what Megan at mommypr.com has to say about the G4, “what I liked most is that I was actually satisfied with how my steamed clothes turned out in the end. After using only an iron for years, I didn’t think the steamer would cut it for me. The G4 exceeded my expectations! Besides my excitement over the end result, I also liked that it was incredibly quick and easy to use.”
If you are looking for a fabric/garment steamer, why not find out what components the manufacturer used to make it. Is the heating element made of aluminum or long lasting brass? How thick is the steam head? Does the steam hose crimp easily? All good questions, and all good things to know before you make your investment.
It’s not everyday that we see a professional ironing products review.
Kathleen Fasanella of the Fashion Incubator is someone who is very passionate about the garment industry and does a wonderful job commenting on the state of our trade on her website www.fashion-incubator.com.
If you are considering an investement for your small business, or perhaps for your hobby, her thoughtful review of our popular i500 ironing station and our C81 vacuum and up-air pressing board is well worth a few minutes of your time.
If you are, you might want to read the review of the Steamboy T1 at Natural Mommie. Amanda has some very astute observations about the treatment of our planet, and how we can make things a little better.
Thanks Amanda for reviewing the Steamboy and for spreading the steam cleaning gospel.
We probably all have a little bit of the germo phobe in all of us. Tenille at Feisty, Frugal and Fabulous admits to being one.
