I've read many reviews, but none commented on the spray adjustment, i.e., how and how easily it adjusts from the narrow long steam to broad short stream. Help me pls!

I have used this sprinkler for about two months and find the spray adjustments to be pretty much the same- no better, no less - as any other top brand of impact sprinkler. The feature that distinguishes this sprinkler is the tripod which elevates the sprinkler without having to rig up a pole or some other device to get a larger radius.

You just force the deflector down into the stream to shorten and broaden the pattern. It's not exact, but effective. Of course when tou pull the deflector up, the stream becomes narrow and reaches its maximum distance.

You can adjust the spray so it comes out of the wall head and / or the hand held spray head. You can adjust the hand held unit to spray or concentrated stream. It is a very good unit. If you buy it you will like it.

Hi Susan, This iron is remarkable. Its a wonderful steam iron, (thats the feature I wanted most) and yes it does have a spray feature. Actually this iron has alot of nice features. Well worth the money !! I hope you buy it. JS :)

The button needs to be held pressed in order to produce steam. It's not an immediate response; you have to hold it down, then a few seconds later steam comes out. It tends to work in bursts, so be careful.

The directions say to add 1/8th teaspoon and if not steaming add another 1/8th teaspoon and at that point, you will think your at the beach with a sea spray coming at you, seriously and a little music, gurgling of the vaporizer ;-) That is how mine worked. Also due to the new vents on the front of the unit, the stream of hot vapor prevents getting burned so easilly and that is especially helpful if you have kids, including the fact that the head of the vaporizer doesn't come out as easy as the older ones, less able to burn a child should one get near it out of curiosity or knock it over somehow, pull on the cord etc... So where is the steam, inside further where the vents are, if you put your hand somewhat near the front quickly you will feel it steaming, and if you look from a distance at an angle, you will see the steam as well, it is just that the area is more protected that is all and for those who have kids, how can you argue with that, I can't.

Yes, you're right about this, I have found the same thing with mine but it doesn't bother me too much because I like the faucet so much. The faucet I had before this one had a cheaper lightweight sprayer and it was a pain too, because it was SO lightweight. It also did not retract very well. We have a pull-down sprayer/faucet in our laundry room and it isn't perfect either, even when I push it hard up into the faucet head, it usually falls back out a bit. With this Sonoma faucet I've just become accustomed to lifting the sprayer to a position where I know it will either begin to retract on its own or I can more easily push it back down. I hope this factor concerning the faucet won't bother you too much.

You cannot adjust it, but from my experience when you turn it on it gives you a very strong flow and bunch of bubbles, but with time the flow and the amount of bubbles drop significantly. Sometimes when I want more bubbles, I just turn off for a few seconds and then turn back on the unit and the flow and the bubbles are strong again. I hope that helps :-)

Overall I think it is great - the cord length, the length of time the steam last before water change...the steam is really hot and cleans really well - my only gripe is this is the third time we've had to replace the main mop head attachment. They need to modify their design so it does not break so easily. Oreck replaced the head once under warranty and the second time they wanted us to bring it in to a shop. Since my wife didnt want to do without the mop I just ordered another one - we figured $37 for the part plus shipping was better than doing without it. And guess what - the part is on back order. If it breaks again we're going to find a different mop and will not purchase an Oreck.

Sorry to be the banter of bad news, but it does sound as though you have a defective unit. The good news is you are still under warranty. Do not waste another minute; call the store where you bought it and have it returned. This device is a no brainer; you plug it up, turn it on and watch it go...the spray should work with ease and percision. Buying defective items does happen in life; sorry you had to experience that. Best wishes with everything.

I have the same issue. I just lay it in a pattern that generally works. It does work better if the water force is high, but then the spray is too wide for my use. This is not my only in-line spray system and both have the same issue. For me it's still better than hand watering. PF

You are so right. The lack of water from the sprayer is one of the BIG problems, this product was a complete waste of money for me and I waited a few days to long to return it!!!! we all should be given a credit or a full refund. Maryann if at all possible return it ! Good Luck!

simply put, there is the 'wide' spray with more spread out nozzle pattern and the the other 2 are increasingly smaller and more concentrated. i like the middle setting the best. Just the right amount of spray for me and water saving. The one thing that it falls short on is that the adjustment lever turns the whole body if you need to adjust to a different setting so you need your other hand to hold the main body when you want to adjust the spry pattern with the lever. This is not noticeable out of the box but when installed and the head is warmed up by the hot water flow it loosens up a bit. Not really a biggy 'cause i leave it set at the middle position but my wife sometimes sets it to a different setting. hope that helps.

Hi GordonYou have to hold the trigger down for spray mode. I have tried several different amounts of water pressure and have been unsuccessful with all of them to get the on/off ease, so have ascertained that it does not exist in this faucet. That being said, placement of the trigger makes it fairly easy to hold and spray and I am quite happy with the faucet. Hope this helps.

You are correct that the first sprayer gets more water than the other two -- there may be a way to "tune" them with the nozzels but I've never tried it because I don't need to -- I don't place them the full hose length apart but bring the two that have lesser spray closer together so I end up with basically an even spray -- they are not high tech but do the job --

Sure. You can't adjust it coming out of the machine directly; you adjust it by turning the nozzle on the spray wand. (That is, you can adjust the spray from a short distance but wide angle spray to a very long distance narrow stream. Use the former for doing things like cleaning your car, where you don't want to blast away the paint. Use the latter for getting hard-to-remove spots off of the side of your house.)

My instruction sheet advised to let the steamer cool down a few minutes, and because of the extreme amount of steam from the unit after opening it, that made sense to me. You can find something else to do for just a couple of minutes. It's a safety issue I learned the dumb way. Besides, you'll probably be clearing debris steamed loose or drying windows, etc. Hope this helps. I had the smaller unit but love this one because it holds more water, don't have to stop and refill as often and it's still lightweight. Haven't found anything it won't reach or get cleaner. Particularly like the shorter attachment because it gets into tighter places like tracks on thermal windows.
