"Melissa" Hair Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So after going against the grain and not ordering the popular table top steamer that is advertised on many natural hair care forums, I received this one just today. The item arrived sooner than it was even estimated to ship (VERY happy about that)and packaged very securely & safely. It arrived in several pieces and needed to be assembled. The directions were useless but luckily a bit of patience and a little common sense saved me. Ok, I love that the steamer adjust in it's height (slides up and down almost like a mic stand) as well as the hood tilts downward and upward. I was able to adjust the height & hood to fit both me & my 10yr old daughter perfectly and we tried both a bar stool and the dining room chair to test it. The hood is very generous in size and can accommodate any size head or amount of hair. Unlike the table top steamer, the entire head & nape of neck is covered. I am sure longer hair (mid-back lenth & longer) will need to be pinned up for steaming.
The steamer has two switches at the back of it that is suppose to help you regulate the flow of steam however with no directions you have no idea which switch controls what. I guess switch I is for low and II high because the steam seemed to flow moreso when we switched?!?!?!? Also, the steamer directions mentions a fuse but no directions on where / how it is to be used, we figured that it had to be an extra one since we tested the steamer & everything seems to work. There is a dial type timer that goes up to 60 mins. When removing the water jug, we let the steamer run to clear water that may be left in the tank and after about 15mins (we set it to 60)it auto shut off and I am sure that is because the reservoir was empty of water.
I chose this steamer simply because of the listed product features for height & tilt adjustment and because so many people complained about how inconvenient the table top was for comfort. Even though I took a risk since I couldn't find a single review A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E about this particular model, I am happy with this steamer and can't wait to share the difference (if any) it will cause for our newly natural heads.
