Are you adding enough water? I find that if I don't add enough water I get no steam otherwise it works great!! I hope I don't offend you but are you pulling the trigger?

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly. I've had this issue and cap was not on correctly which did not allow for steam buildup.

1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. Fill it to the top and turn on the steamer. Let it run completely through. It worked for me once, since then not much luck. I had to throw it out.

You control the steam. There are buttons on the side of the top bar. You lower the top about half way and press the button to get a shot of steam. It is not continous.

If you do not press the steam button there will not be steam. However using the steam button will give you a professional result. PS. I love my Rowenta!

Not an option. You just get steam (on/off), works great, especially when you remove the brush attachment.

DO YOU Have the steam and vac? I agree it junk. I have since purchased a Shark steam mop only and it works fine. Amazon onlyA part of the purchasing process. They don't actually the Shark. Ask to return it for a refund and if it is still in warranty they may help you get your money back. Were you using only distilled water in it?

Mine stopped steaming after about two months of use. But to turn steam on you press the blue button on top by the handle.

It should be good steady steam. Make sure you are using tap water as the directions state.

The only water I get is when I turn off the steam. The left over steam dumps into the bottom tray. No problems since I bought it 6 months ago. Just have to make sure you clean it and take care. A lot of the problems I've seen people posting could be cured by preventative maintenance.

Hmmm I don't know why that would be happening, just run it a few times maybe just to clear it at what point does itn spatter?? When it first starts to steam ?

It does have a steam release, however what I don't like is that you cannot remove the the pieces to clean it, there is a little cup that can be removed for cleaning but a long as you don't leave anything in there for too long it should be fine

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!

Mine stopped steaming so I just use it as a damp mop. Tried white vinegar to clean it but did not work

Be sure you have reached the correct temperature for steam before using iron. And if this is not the issue I would contact manufacturer

Approximately 30 seconds. Keep pushing on the handle and this will start the release of steam. Fantastic way to clean.

You can install from disk and then activat through Steam or I just pulled the codes out of the box and loaded the latest version from steam. Either way the discs are basically placeholders
