Not Bad for Price
The instructions included are omit some of the information for putting the unit together, fortunately it is pretty easy to figure out what goes where with the hood portion of the unit. The are no markings on the water reservoir to indicate max level as stated in the instructions so you'll have to guess through trial and error. The unit performs as described, the timer and auto shut-off function work as indicated.
It produces ample steam under the hood and the condensation drip free design of the hood makes concern over hot water falling on your shoulder a non issue. There is however a design flaw with the glass jar containing the heating element of the unit where condensation forms on the surrounding plastic housing and drips unto the floor and along the pole that connects to steamer heating unit, perhaps because it can be a little slack but after it cooled I was able to tighten it so the next use will determine if there is truly a problem.
Just avoid that area when the unit is operational if you notice any condensation because you may get burned as I did. Overall I am satisfied with the performance of the steamer so far, hoping that is built to last.
7/7/2016 update to original review: Tightening the glass jar did the trick! there was no condensation on the surrounding plastic housing, no wet mess and no burns! I guess it got loose in shipment, so when you put yours together make sure to check it and adjust if necessary. Very happy with the steamer!
