I don't know the answer to that specifically but in general I have been disappointed in this steamer. It doesn't keep up a steady level of steam and isn't very powerful.

This steamer will do the job. It has a couple down falls....there is not an on/ off switch and when the water runs out you have to wait for the heating element to cool down before you can refill it. However this unit is the perfect size for traveling.

Sorry I didnt see your question before today. I see your question has been answered. I hope you enjoy the steamer as much as I enjoy mine. Happy holidays.

This is a great product have been using it for years last a long time follow directions on your carpet steamer my guess would be about a cup to gallon of water, hope this is helpful

It takes roughly 3-5 mins after filling it up to build enough pressure. It's not quite continuous, you will eventually use up the built up steam and will need to wait a minute or two to allow up to build back up. This unit wasnt meant to be a continuous steamer, more of a spot cleaner.

You need to select one of the buttons (15 min, 30 min, etc). It will not look like much when it is steaming, but it is working.

The steamer runs for about 5 minutes and it stops after its mini water tank runs dry. However, there is no auto shut off and you have to turn off or unplug. I'm not sure how the device would work in a salon (I use mine at home). The instructions say that you should wait 10 minutes in between uses so that the device would cool down.

maybe 1/4 cup? it will run for about 3-4 hrs. I really like it, I bought a cheaper one and it didn't last a month.

pam, I have been using this steamer for almost 15 years, it cuts your processing time down to 10 mins, for regular color, and cuts your highlite time in half! makes your more money with less time!

Have not used the steamer yet. Don't know. Maybe you can contact Aroma customer service.

You know... at the end of the day... I use the steamer for about 20 minutes at a time. All can goods now have BPA in them and they sit in them for weeks if not months. I think the 18 mins it takes to steam salmon and veggies isn't near what it would be in can. And keep in mind that BPA isn't toxic, the complications come from the fact that it mimics estrogen. I'm happy with my steamer, because it has really turned me on to steaming... will I move to stainless steel... more than likely, but this little bugger is a great starting point.

Place cut up vegetables in steamer basket and place over a saucepan of boiling water. Cover tightly and let vegetables cook until fork tender. The time this will take depends on the size of the vegetable pieces and how many vegetables are in the steamer. Usually takes no longer than 10 minutes for average amount. When finished, drain and serve with a flavored vinegar or your favorite dressing.

Takes about a minute & a half to get up to full steam. And then stays pretty much continuous until it runs out. Just wish that full steam cycle was a little longer sometimes. But then you'd probably wear your wrist out.

Yes, but it's worth it to keep the steamer running longer. Tap water will ruin the internal parts.

That's because that steamer is garbage. I've returned 2 of them. Go to bed bath and beyond. I got a conair one for 50 dollars and it's lasted 6 months. Works perfect everytime

The steam comes on as long as you have water in the machine. You don't have to do a "cool down" to continue. A well thought out item. Only wish the power cord was longer.
