@IDareT'sHair, the first one was a generic one from Amazon.com. the second one was also from Amazon.com and although it looked exactly the same, it was sold by a different company. I'll check the Pro-Series out. Thanks! I really miss my steamer.
@cynd
The water reservoir thingy is octagon shaped. I fill it right to the line. It has a 60 minute timer.
I've only ever purchased from Salons R Us. My first steamer lasted years before conking out. Now I have the newer model and have had it for a few years, still going strong. *knock on wood*My steamer of 2 years stopped working recently so I bought another one just like it but from a different company. Just used the new one for only the second time and it stopped working. Not happy!! Any suggestions for a reliable brand would be appreciated.
