I am looking to get a jiffy streamer and I am looking at getting the Jiffy J-4000Di. Would that be the best? Also would a metal head be better than a plastic head? I’ve pics added of the different one available.

The J4000 is what most professionals use. It will last you forever. The one I have has a plastic head. I like it because it doesn't burn you if you accidentally touch it. Haha and I would do that a lot...
I need to get one of the tube head attachments. I have seen guys use those to reach under a seat covers and it works really well.

4000 with the plastic head, I love mine.

I have a J-2000 and a J-4000. The 4000 takes a while to build up steam, like 20 minutes, but outputs a lot of steam. The 2000 heats up quickly, but while it still produce a lot of steam it is less than the 4000, and has a small water capacity.

The 4000 hold 3 gallons while the 2000 hold less than 1/2 gallon.

Yeah thats a great point about the time it takes to heat up@JimmieJoe!! My J4000 has a setting that keeps the water just below boiling temperature so when you are ready to use it it doesn't take as long to produce steam. If I know I'm going to use it that day I turn the switch to that setting ahead of time.

Yes, the stand by mode on the 4000 is a big time saver.

I have the j2 and it is good for me. Haven't tried the 4000. I feel like you'll be good with whichever one you get @Beano212

On that note, where are you all buying steamers if recently buying?
Seems like most of my typical suppliers either don't carry them at all or have been out of stock for weeks/months. Im just curious where to check out that has them in stock and for a fair price.

I bought mine on Craigslist as well as most of my tools.

The wife found all of ours on Craigslist for a very very deep discount over the purchase price of a new one.

Hi - not sure if able to put a link in but here goes - my steamer is the best imo - https://www.propress.co.uk/product/mini ... s-steamer/. It is portable and you can use on just about any fabric.
