Lisa Fisher of B98.5 The Morning Rush gives the Steam Buddy a shot.

Hot irons flimsy ironing boards and those dreaded wrinkles. Ironing is time consuming and let's face it, it's just not fun. But the makers of the Steam Buddy say it can be and that this device will put the power of your dry cleaner in the palm of your hand. So is the steam buddy a Deal or a Dud?

As you drive to work every Monday through Friday you'll hear Lisa Fisher working her magic on B98.5.

But on this day her work is far from over, she's agreed to do the one thing she dreads most… Ironing!

"I just don't like it. It’s hard it’s boring," Lisa says.

But what if ironing wasn't boring?

Steam Buddy Commercial says: "Hi Billy Mays here for the Steam Buddy. The fastest, easiest and safest way to remove wrinkles from all your clothing guaranteed."

Lisa isn't sold. "Ok the safest, funnest way to get rid of wrinkles is called the dryer," she says.

Lisa gets to work, puts in the water, plugs it in and waits for the Steam Buddy to come to life.

Commercial says: "The secret is the on-demand steaming element that puts the power of this professional unit right in the palm of your hand."

The commercial says you can steam press a shirt right on the hangar.

"Q: Are you seeing the wrinkles disappear? No, not like they would if they went to the dry cleaners."

So we try another shirt but the only thing Lisa likes is the facial she's getting from all the steam.

"My pores are going to look better tomorrow thanks to you," Lisa says.

Next she tries to tackle a sleeve using the creaser attachment but immediately calls for back-up.

Kevin says: "Allright Lisa, Steam Buddy Deal or a Dud? Lisa says ” Dud."

If you think the Steam Buddy will work for you it will cost you $19.95 plus shipping and handling.
