A personal steamer comprising an assembly of three pieces: a base tub and liner tub and a lid. The liner tub is body-shaped to form a foot, a seat, a back and side walls forming a steam enclosure. A lid, hinged at the foot, can be pivoted to a vertical, low stress vertical position, or closed for use. The liner tub is formed of ABS and reinforced with fiberglass on its underside where it is protected from the steam. The liner tub is fitted into the base tub and foamed together, forming a base assembly. Steam is conducted through a fitting in the base tub and through a conduit to a horn outlet at the user's feet. The steam is discharged away from the user and towards the lid, deflecting back to into the enclosure. U-shaped conduits and fans recirculate steam in the enclosure. A portable steam generator is coupled with the cabinet for providing constant temperature steam very quickly. A low volume boiler, having a V-shaped bottom and a gravity water feed ensures minimum water levels and minimum water volumes. A vacuum-lock water reservoir provides water supply and fine level control.
