My Little Steamer by Joy Mangano PRODUCT REVIEW

[@XxdoncelladelmetalxX]

I have one and I love it. It doesn’t give me this problem. In fact it was a life saver when my friends and I went to a destination wedding. All their dresses were wrinkled and the hotel iron was not working. I loved it!

[@TheMay84]

I bought mine at Ross for $7.99 and it works great. Im psyched 🥰

[@flippingforreal109]

How do you keep the water from spitting out of it, purchase mine at 9.99 or less from QVC

[@AverageMe]

@@flippingforreal109 - Apparently this is a recognized problem. A TV consumer reporter contacted me for permission to use some footage from this video because he was getting to many complaints.

[@cyndi3983]

Mine spewed hot water out like a waterfall projecting it about 2ft away. Could have really burnt myself as my back was turned.

[@AverageMe]

Cynday xxx - that sounds scary!

[@sharonj8173]

The steamer you are trying to use is defective....send it back. I have this steamer and it works great.

[@nttrbttr13]

Sharon Janes mine worked just fine but now it started spitting a lot of water.

[@amylauren314]

Thanks for your comment. I’m still going to get one today.

[@Spartan300LX]

I dont believe this is a defect. This product is trash

[@flippingforreal109]

I bought my steamer from QVC and it works great I use it for my reselling business. You have to fill the steamer on the line or just below it in order for them to work properly, the problem is people don't read or follow directions .

[@ittybittypolkadot]

Yes. Mine worked fine, but only for about a year. Mine now cuts on and of randomly and stops producing steam, taking a while to get back up to temperature. Boo. Do not buy.

[@nspencer257]

Hmmm I have this, and it has never done this. For anyone watching this, it is not a good representation of the product. Also - you are supposed to put the lid on BEFORE turning it on. I don't know if that would cause this problem. I also don't understand the note that says it takes two minutes to actually warm up when you can clearly see it is much shorter than that? Mine takes 20 seconds. Just saying - not a fair representation of the product, I have three boys to keep up with here and I love it!

[@heavenoo4999]

nspencer257 May I know how much cost of the steamer you bought and how long have you been using ??

[@mdrv6121]

I bought mine about 3 or 4 years ago and I loved it but last week out of nowhere it started throwing out alot more water than this one. It was a very scary situation because I was just about to put my hand on the handle when all this boiling water almost burned my hand. I tried it again a couple days later and the same thing happened so I just threw it away. I bought mine from HSN and was looking to replace it but I saw alot of reviews from different stores that are saying that this happened to them too. I am very dissapointed because I really loved mine.

[@pamelaglinsky3490]

I have purchased over 10. I have not had an issue or the family I gave them to never had an issue. Always keep the steamer vertical never tilt it.

[@flippingforreal109]

Purchased my steamer from QVC and I use it in my reselling business and I haven't had any issues at all. The problem is people don't read and follow the directions to make sure they know how to use it, there en-lies the problem.

[@RDYoung1026]

I had my first one 5 years ago and never had any issues until it would turn off on its own after 3 years. That was my sign that it's time for a new one. I got a new Mini and also a regular JOY My little Steamer...since then and have had no issues. I think he got a defective product, I would return.

[@onnicaestelle324]

Hi. I enjoyed mine until the water corrosion rendered it useless. Not sure if I should have used distilled water but I will with the next sream unit I buy. I will also see if the one I have can be remedied. I hope you exchanged yours and was able to enjoy the new unit.😉

[@AverageMe]

Onnica Estelle - thank you

[@emekecho2024]

there's a recall on these. right on spot for thumbs down.

[@Shizz1000]

I've had the big one for about 3 years and I've never had that issue. I don't know what's going on with yours.

[@earthisfun]

...got one about a 1.5 years ago - used it twice. Leaks water out of the bottom and the steam end. Made a terrible hot mess. I looked up known issues and discovered a class action lawsuit related to this product (the lawsuit is actually against a company that was selling it while knowing it was defective). I don't know if the claim was proven, or what happened, I just threw it away - total waste of money.

[@AverageMe]

Thanks for sharing

[@dianefinnigan1751]

You overfilled it!

[@AverageMe]

Good guess (at first I thought that as well), but I followed the directions precisely (you can see in the video it is at the indicated line, not over) and even tried it at different fill levels (I mention that at 4:21 in the video). I didn't record all that because I thought it would make rather boring video.

[@lonhnguyen9815]

Great advice

[@msMckinley2011]

I have one I just added a little salt to the water works just fine for me

[@peacelovejoyMD]

I've had mine for years (2), that never happened.

[@gailguilliams1365]

Looks like you filled it past the max fill line.

[@AverageMe]

No, it was not overfilled. I was very careful that I followed the instructions to the letter.

[@marycauley2513]

There is now a class action lawsuit. I received a letter in the mail because I had bought mine from HSN so they had my info. I am on vacation right now but I am sure if you look up the steamer and class action lawsuit it will take you to the sight

[@AverageMe]

Interesting! Class action suits rarely make money for people like us. They make a lot for lawyers, lol!

[@rak34]

this doesn't happen with mine. looks like you filled it too full. Mine works great!

[@AverageMe]

Rachel Kline - it always did that regardless of the water level. Tap water, distilled, didn’t seem to make a difference. Apparently others have had this issue as well, since a TV news channel contacted me and requested to use my footage since they have been getting complaints about this.

[@MaryRamirez-gh8hk]

Defective. I bought one and it spews not matter how much water I put in. I even tried cleaning it out. Not sure if there is a way to fix it?

[@AverageMe]

I'd try different waters, because mineral content does impact electrical conductivity. So maybe try distilled, tap water, adding salt, etc. But my demo was using tap water because that was what the instructions said to do.

[@atate1950]

Mine doesnt spurt but it stops steaming every two minutes or so-- takes about a minute to start steaming again. Does anyone else's do this?

[@staceya1137]

Yes! Mine just started turning off and reheating every min. or so...and it keeps getting worse. I'm sure it will die completely very soon. I bought it 5 months ago and use it every day....but I'm going to purchase the larger deluxe size and hope for the best. I only notice water issues (spurting) when I overfill.

[@Spartan300LX]

Same with my steamer

[@RDYoung1026]

Yes, I used mine probably every 2-3 weeks for a 4 years when it started doing that. It deteriorated rapidly and needed a new one shortly thereafter. When it stops and starts like that, I take that a sign that it's time get a new one.

[@cunkstermonster]

I bought 3, for myself and to grown kids. Two of them spit water as shown in this video. Easy to burn hand.

[@AverageMe]

Yes, it doesn't happen with EVERY machine, but enough of them that it's a concern. Thanks for sharing. Different types of water (mineral content, salt, etc) may make a difference.

[@camillecrichlow8138]

That’s scary not for the mess but because its electric 😳. I still want one but maybe a different brand. But others are saying yours is defective

[@AverageMe]

Camille Crichlow - a Florida television station used my footage as part of an investigative report. That stemmed from many instances of this type.

[@priscillaclanton7577]

Her products are hit & miss. Mines did exactly what you displayed. I bought mines at thrift store so I didn’t lose out they let me return it.

[@kevinmayers4346]

Heard so many good reviews on this and got one but being nieve in this area I used normal tap water.It worked for awhile then heated up and starting spitting water spots on clothes.After almost a year of not using decided to try.It works find but has such a build up of limescale,any suggestions to clean and what type of water should I use?Thank you

[@AverageMe]

I really think it depends upon the mineral content of the water in your area. The instructions say tapwater.

[@kevinmayers4346]

@@AverageMe Thank you, I will check the water authority site out in my country.

[@kevinmayers4346]

Mine stopped working completely after leaking water...it did fall over on the bed prior to that and started leaking the following day.Now it no longer heats up and steam even though I used it last night worked perfect with minimal leaking.Can anyone assist me in how to remedy this???

[@Jakilyn]

I got this thing and it's a total piece of shit. Doesn't have a steam control button and barely puts out any steam. Ironically, HSN deleted my bad review

[@cathleenlindsey3128]

Most definitely.would NOT buy this. They need to go back to the drawing board with this.

[@deborahbartolotta8686]

Biggest piece of crap I’ve ever purchased

[@Spartan300LX]

I've purchased a similar model twice. The first one kept throwing water and the second one turns off every two minutes. DONT NOT BUY!!!!!

[@carolkitchen200]

I think you got that was something wrong with it

[@carolkitchen200]

I have the bigger one it doesn’t do that.

[@donnapovinelli636]

This was a total waste of money.
