Just got back from a 2-week Europe trip with the Jack & Rose steamer, and wow – this little gadget saved my linen shirts from looking like crumpled paper! The 15-second heat-up is no joke. I timed it while unpacking in Berlin, and by the time I hung my wrinkled dress shirt, it was ready to blast steam.

The rotating head is a genius touch. It twisted flat in my carry-on next to my toiletry bag, taking up less space than my hair dryer. But be warned – that metal plate gets HOTTER than a Paris sidewalk in July. I learned this the hard way when brushing it against my arm (ouch!).

Used it on everything from silk blouses to denim jackets. The steam power surprised me – erased suitcase creases from a wool blazer in under a minute. Though the 5oz tank only lasted me about 3 shirts before needing a refill (pro tip: use distilled water to prevent mineral buildup).

The dual voltage worked flawlessly switching between UK and EU outlets. But at 1.6lbs, it's heavier than expected – I'd compare it to carrying a thick hardcover book. Still beats hauling a full-sized iron!

After 12 uses, the hinge still feels sturdy, but I'm gentle when twisting it closed. For $60, this performs like premium steamers twice its size. Just don't expect hotel-quality pressing – it's more for emergency de-wrinkling than perfection.

Final verdict? 4.5/5 stars. A travel essential that actually delivers on its promises, with minor quirks. Packing it for my Asia trip next month!
