Steamfast SF-680 Digital Steam Press with Multiple Fabric Settings and Steam Burst Function,Stainless/Black

I absolutely love the Steamfast SF-680 Digital Steam Press. It has completely changed the way I care for my clothes at home. I no longer dread ironing day—this press makes everything so fast and effortless. The large pressing surface handles shirts, pants, linens, and even heavier fabrics like a champ. It heats up quickly (usually in under 5 minutes) and produces strong, consistent steam that smooths out wrinkles in just one press. The fabric settings are intuitive, and I appreciate having the digital controls to fine-tune based on material. The build quality feels solid, and the safety features—like automatic shut-off and locking mechanism—give me peace of mind. There's a slight learning curve when it comes to pressing shirts and tricky seams, but once you get the hang of it, the results are truly impressive. If you're tired of using a standard iron and want something that saves time while giving professional-level results, this steam press is a fantastic investment. I wish I had bought it sooner!

“I’m very happy with this steam press. It heats up quickly and removes wrinkles from clothes very easily. The digital controls are simple to use and it saves me a lot of time compared to a regular iron. The quality feels strong and durable. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants faster and easier ironing!”

Wow what a difference! Love this product. I'm a single man who never got the hang of regular ironing so I ended up sending most of my laundry to the cleaners. Not anymore....I bought the fabric steam press when the quality of my shirts coming back from the cleaners took a noticable turn for the worse, i.e. odd wrinkle patterns and broken buttons. I thought I would give a steam press a try since I had a read a review on how these types of pressers were definitely a cut above a regular iron. The Steam Fast wasn't my first choice..that was an Elna but I couldn't find a distributor for it and I really didnt want to spend the $800 it would have cost me. The Steam Fast was the right price on Amazon ( $230) so I bought it. I followed the rather sketchy instructions which came with it and lo-and-behold it works great. Shirts take almost no time...I just finished doing 5 shirts (cotton and linen) in less than 20 minutes and they look great. The digital controls are very easy to understand, it heats up quickly, and so far the steam is working great. I even end up doing some laundry I would never think of ironing before like my dish clothes which always come out of the dryer looking like SharPei puppies. I definitely would recommend Steam Fast Fabric Steam Press...I hate to admit it but I sort of enjoy the whole process of ironing now and I'm saving $2+ on each shirt and they look great now.

This is without question my most favorite and useful purchase this year! It’s amazing. After starching I am able to press my jeans with a cowboy crease just like the dry cleaners. Shirts are incredibly easy to press and make crisp and nice. The cost may seem high but I can already tell you that I have saved lots of money not using the dry cleaners. I 10/10 recommend. It is large and a bit awkward to move around so you might look at getting a stand for it. I do not have the stand and have to use the kitchen table.

I love this machine. It makes ironing so much easier. It heats up hot, so definitely use the gloves. The size is good, I can iron an XL T-shirt in about three cycles. The steam feature is nice to have, it helps with jeans. It's very versatile due to the different settings. It looks nice in my laundry room also. I like the handle it makes it much easier to more it around. It does have some weight to it. It's not that bad but I'd rather keep it in one room, but it does leave me with options. The lock feature is nice as well. That also helps if you have to move it. Or to keep little ones from messing with it. I would recommend buying a stand for it so your clothes have room to monuver over the board. I tried it on a table and I liked the stand better. Maybe just my preference......?

I use this Press mostly for jeans. It does the job well and is faster than using an iron. Here's more details: When using on jeans I usually only have to press one side. Hence, the shorter time spent pressing. I keep a spray bottle of water handy just in case. However, the built-in steaming usually does the job of getting stubborn wrinkles out. And many times I don't have to use the steam at all. Keep in mind that when using the steam you have to pull the top down to within 3 - 4 inches away from your fabric, press the steam button for 2 or 3 seconds then release the steam button and lower the top onto your fabric. Never press the steam button while top is in contact with the fabric (closed position). That could damage the machine. The water container is sealed which comes in handy because I store the unit upright on its base. It also has a locking feature when closed to allow you to carry or store the unit. I like the easy to use digital heat setting and the warning sound that will alert you when the top is down for more that 7 - 8 seconds. It will also shut off after several minutes of being idle. Hint: Each time you plug the unit in, the lowest heat setting is the default. For more precise pressing in hard to do and small places, you may want to keep a regular iron handy. Personally, I haven't done that yet. But, I could see where the extra smaller iron would be needed. If you have never tried a Steam Press, I highly recommend that you at least give it a try. You just might be glad you did.

With the right techniques, you can knock off a long sleeve dress shirt in a couple of minutes. First unbutton the two buttons on the button down collar. Lay the collar flat on the board and press. Easy burst of steam helps. Stretch the tail of the shirt evenly across the board. (Done correctly, the collar of the shirt will be closest to the floor.) Press, using steam device. Work your way up the back of the shirt, repeating the press. Soon, the entire back of the shirt will be pressed. With three or four repetitions, you’ll arrive at the yoke. The yoke is always tricky because the material on the back of the shirt is “gathered” neatly at the center. Flatten the yoke, respecting the pleat at the center. With the collar already flattened and pressed, you’ll make quick work of the yoke. With the back finished, one steam pressing of each side in front (pressing right over the buttons!) will finish the body of the shirt, front and back. Sleeves require your ingenuity. Drop the sleeve and release it so you’ll run a crease along the stitched part of the sleeve, located at the bottom. Eyeball for a correct seam. One steam and press usually suffices; there is usually no need to flip the sleeve to iron the other side. Repeat on the other sleeve. I tried to improve the efficiency of pressing the sleeve by cutting a piece of cardboard 36” inches long and dropping it into the sleeve hole before pressing. (I rounded one end of the cardboard to make the drop easier.) It was easy enough to correctly align the cardboard for an accurate seam, but the technique also confirmed the rumor that wet corrugated cardboard smells like — yes, yes — poo. I’m searching for other kinds of cardboard. Anyway, shirts turn out great. Almost all time is spent on waiting for the steam/press time. I listen to an Audibe book as I iron and have pleasant memories of my grandmother sitting at her Iron-Rite listening to Ma Perkins Boarding House. The Steamfast itself seems to be of high quality. The steam reservoir is large and easily refillable. I’m at the point where I’m ready to firm up some of the creases with small amounts of spray starch, but even without starch, the shirts hold up well. Remnants of the creases in the sleeves seem to hold up through a machine wash. And at no time have I detected a transfer of the smell of — you know — from the corrugated cardboard.

I frequently wear collared shirts which I starch and iron by hand. Using this method, I cannot get the fine wrinkles out completey, so I purchased the press with the hopes that the press would eliminate the fine wrinkles and give a more professional look. Even taking great time and care to smooth out the garment, I found that I am unable to get the results I want. Some shirts that have puffy and gathered sleeves are impossible to use on the press with even mediocre results so I have to take those back to the standard ironing board. I have only used the press several times since getting it so maybe there is something I am missing in operating the press. No video or instructions came with the machine. Bottom line: I wanted a more professional look with this press, and it doesn't deliver. I also iron my knit tops and t-shirts and sweaters, and the press works superbly on those garments and saves a lot of time and produces excellent results with those items, but I purchased it mainly for the collared shirts. I HAVE USED THIS PRODUCT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW, AND I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE MY REVIEW AND GIVE THIS PRODUCT 5 STARS. I LOVE MY STEAMPRESS. I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO COLLARED SHIRTS BETTER THAN A REGULAR IRON, BUT ON EVERYTHING ELSE, THIS MACHINE IS AMAZING. I IRON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING NOW, AND IT TAKES SO LITTLE TIME. I ENJOY IRONING USING THIS PRESS. I DO NOT LIKE THE STEAM FUNCTION ON THE MACHINE SO I USE A SPRAY BOTTLE OCCASIONALLY ON HEAVILY WRINKLED GARMENTS, AND THAT WORKS FINE. I ALSO HAVE USED THE STAND THAT I GAVE A POOR RATING, AND I NEED TO REVISE THAT RATING AS WELL BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER USE IT FOR ANYTHING BUT FOR STORING THE PRESS. THE TOP OF THE PRESS DOES SPRING BACK AND ROCKS THE STAND SLIGHTLY, BUT AFTER USING THE PRESS A FEW TIMES, YOU LEARN HOW TO RAISE THE TOP SO THAT IT DOESN'T ROCK. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STEAM PRESS, AND I WOULD GIVE THE STAND ABOUT 4 STARS.
