Is this a steam sterilizing system?

No. You would use one of these to clean whatever before you steam sterilize.

No it is not. Is is an ultrasonic cleaner. It basically shakes the dirt and grime out of the little nuks and crannies that we cannot clean out ourselves. The solution does heat up a bit when in use though.

no its ultrasonic, bubbles clean the items, use a little alconox in the water

It does not sterilize. It depends on what you're using it for if you need it to sterilize.

my experience is there is extra scrubbing involved, but the steam is helpful

Yes, as far as we know. We used steam sterilizing via microwave for all of our bottling needs. They've held up great!

Yes, those parts are plastic, but by that point, the steam had condensed to water and it is cooled down. The dwell time in the plastic is very low. We have not had any issues with our unit. It is well built.

No, it does not produce steam and you can't see steam coming out of it. I don't know why they call it a steamer. The powerbrush part of it, however, is phenomenal and we really like how well it cleans. We like it better than the ones with the heating elements that purport to be good on pet stains. This one works better and is smaller for storage purposes.

No. I use this as a precursor to runing my auto clave.I run all of my stainless tubes through it prior to bagging and sterilization. Hope that helps.

I don't know if it is, but I don't recommend the system. I've had a LOT of frustration with it: Much more frequent cleaning of printhead required, messages of damaged cartridges which requires me to turn the printer off and on to reset, and air in the feed lines that don't seem to be corrected by the suction priming technique I found on You Tube. there may be better systems out by now, but this one has been a nightmare! *I want to add that when I just clicked on the product history of my order, the system being sold now is NOT what I got. so take my review with a grain of salt. This says it automatically purges air. etc and looks like an entirely different product. Mine did not come with syringes, instructions, or ANYTHING. It was in a flimsy box that was labeled in Chinese. I probably should have sent it back immediately, but assumed Amazon wouldn't carry junk. My purchase was also over $70 bucks!

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!

No it is not that kind of steam cleaner. It you put hot water in it but it would have to be very hot. I love it though it cleans amazingly well. You will need to spend a lot more money to buy an actual steam cleaner that heats the water.

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

You use dry heat sterilization pouches and we can get them for you, they have indicator strips built in to confirm sterilization. thanks

yes., there's also a lever for the steam pressure. this really is one of the best brands for the price.

I've never used the steam feature, preferring the spray bottle, so I have no experience with it. Sorry.

While I have not used it for this purpose a rice steamer came inside the unit. The instruction manual also talked about steaming vegetables in this unit.

No. All it does in generate steam, which can be applied through the various nozzles.

Steam is a disinfectant in and of itself and it is not recommended to put any additives in the machine as it will affect the heating coil adversely.
