I saw the infomercials about the Tobi and when the portable/travel size became available at my local department store I purchased one. My fiancee often has to wear a dress shirt, pants, and tie to work (and he travels for business) so I thought this would be an ideal product for us to have in our home. I hate ironing! It is such a hassle to drag out the board and heat up the iron, very time consuming. I thought this product would save me time and impress me but I was wrong! I read the entire instruction manual and proceeded to fill the Tobi with the required amount of water. I plugged it in and it heated up very quickly so I held up a heavy cotton dress shirt and began pumping the steam button, as directed in the manual...the results were comical and somewhat dangerous! Some steam did indeed come out of the machine as well as an alarming burning smell and a very hot handle, water was spitting everywhere (I mean everywhere..on me, the floor, the wall, the shirt, etc.) and the shirt almost seemed to be getting damaged and more wrinkled by the minute. I promptly unplugged the Tobi and began to undo the damage to the shirt. I am very disappointed with this product and I will be returning it to the store. I'm not sure if I would have had better results with the 'full size' Tobi but after reading the reviews, I doubt it. Save your money and don't buy this product.
