Hello, do any of you ladies own either the Jiffy J-2 steamer (1300 watts) or one of the Princess models (one is 1650 Watts, the other 1800 Watts).

We need a new one real bad and our awesome old one cannot be found anywhere here.

Jacky's has the brand Jiffy that is 1300 Watts, fmade in USA.

the Princess brand models have higher Wattage but made in China.

Do the Watts matter that much? I am leaning to get the Jiffy brand but just want to hear opinions on how good they are if anyone owns any of these...

I purchased one in Dragon mart 2 weeks ago and I must say that I am really impressed with it. Works perfectly! The brand is called JBS, has a 1 year warranty, has a metallic looking "glove" that you can wear on the other hand and has a spongy part where you hold it. Ideal as most have plastic and tends to get too hot. Would definitely recommend this one.

I hate ironing and heard these steamers are a lot easier. Think I will go buy one of those Dragonmart ones! As I understand,the higher the wattage,the stronger the steam machine and output. So the higher,the better.

Will keep an eye open on this topic as I want to also buy one of these soon. I was at Dragon Mart yesterday and noticed that they have a few in some of the stores. Also made in China but prices ranged from 160 to 300 in the 3 shops that I saw them in. They were all 1700 watts if I remember correctly.
