i can not answer your question because I nave never used one. but I think you press the button and the steam comes out the front of it.

The steam comes out in a blast in direct response to pulling the trigger. It works much better than other hand-held steamers I've tried. I don't bother with the detachable bristles---I just remove them. That's my preference. Others may feel differently.

In looking at the picture that I'm seeing (where the steamer shows black at the lower left), here's how it comes out: the "tail" on the right of the picture is the cord. (Cut off for the picture.) The thinner part of the handle disengages, you fill it with water, then connect it back again. It heats up pretty quickly, ready in maybe 45 seconds. You hold it up to the garment and push the lever shown on the top of the picture to make the steam come out. On that picture, the steam would come out towards the lower left. The black part shown is a ring of bristles around the steam opening. They act as a lint brush. I've had two of these and they last years. (The only reason I had to buy a second one is that I dropped and broke it!)

You should not have steam coming out of the pressure valve once it is up to pressure. Sometimes a little steam will come out until the pressure seals. Make sure you have the pressure valve is in the correct position.

On this crock pot my husband got me, there is a tiny hole on the top that lets excess steam out but to be honest i have never seen the steam come out.

When you pump (push in and pull out) the handle, it should steam. If it doesn't, then it's not working correctly.

There isn't really a mechanism to push the steam. The straighter you can keep the hose the more the steam rises. But i found it chuggs a good amount of steam. It helps if you can hang your garment above the unit. I found that doing curtains while hanging took someone to hold up the bottom half. I am satisfied with this unit because my main issue was storing it .

Do you let the pressure down on the steam? You press the pressure button and both lights flash and then you open the steam and let steam come out until it's just hot water and the lights stop flashing.

The lid has a vent hole. To keep steam inside without escaping requires plugging the vent hole. You would have to be created plugging the hole.

There is a small lever at the top of the handle that you push down to start the steam, if you stop pushing the steam stops.

I use it all the time and don't notice steam escaping. That being said, it isn't insulating and you will lose heat through it. Still, better than nothing! Also, slit keeps it from truly suctioning on...

I really have not used it enough to know for sure. On my old one, if it was on steam setting, steam sort of flowed out of it but to get a lot I had to push the button. My new one seems to do the same.

lots of steam does come out of the steam hole and it is supposed to do that. It does make a mess so we drape a thin tea towel - not folded over - across the top of the steamer and over the hole. While the towel does get damp, the mess is contained. The thinnest of the towel still allows for the steam to escape while keeping the surroundings relatively dry. Hope that helps.

No, I never had the steam without pressing the steam button but I still think the steam works well, it's just not constant. Hope that helps!

Hi Brittany, the steam doesn't roll out of the newer ones, but it diffuses into the air. It is much nicer that way. It is working though. If it spits still, put more salt into the water, about 1/8 th teaspoon. That increases the conductivity as one other buyer said. The ions react to one another to cause the mist.

You need to make sure the air slit is not wet at all.. if it has any moisture in it the steam won't come out of the top.. the slit is different than where the steam comes out of, its under the top and on a side. Wipe it really well and assemble and try again.

When it is first under pressure, the yellow stem pops up. When it is under full pressure it starts its steady steam stream - before full pressure it just sort of puffs and maybe spits a little. I start timing when it starts it's steady steaming.

You always use the pads, it's like the head of a mop. The thing shoots steam, and the pads mop it up.
