Jiffy steamer
Origins and product line development
The company was organized in 1940 when the Model J-1 hat steamer was first patented. At the time, wearing hats was fashionable, such as fedoras, and the common way of retaining a hat’s shape, called stretching, shaping and blocking, was to place them over a steaming kettle of water. The idea for the J-1 was to create a standalone device that could do the same task in a more convenient manner, without the requirement of a stove, and could heat up more quickly, or in a “jiffy”, hence the company’s moniker and product name, Jiffy Steamer. The concept was later applied to the J-2 garment steamer, a larger version of the J-1 hat steamer that included a clothing rack. This product was aimed at the clothing industry from tailoring to retail to provide an easy effective way of removing wrinkles. The company now offers upgraded versions of the original J-2 clothes steamers, including the J-2000 and several variants that provide different head attachments, and the J-4000, an industrial strength clothing steamer machine more geared towards the commercial marketplace. The J-4000 industrial clothing steamer has a larger reservoir to increase the time between refills when steaming large amounts of garments.
More recently, the Esteam, a travel steamer, was developed that compacts the functionality of the J-2000 personal garment steamer into a more portable device roughly the size of a medium sized insulated Thermos. The main market for the Esteam is business travelers or anyone who travels and has a need to remove the wrinkles from clothing stored in luggage during transit. The Esteam can make use of various plug attachments that can make use of various power sources, US and European, as well as car AC outlet adapters.
