Does the steam just come out of that one hole?

Yes it just come out of the spout on the top. You can adjust the amount of mist that comes out. I adjust ours down, because it puts out a lot of mist. We love ours!!

Yes. The steam only comes out of one spout. It starts the moment you put the switch on.

yes, easy maintenance too! Best one on the market. I did a lot of research on humidifiers because I'm a new mom. This saves you money because it does not blow out a warm mist. The warm mist humidifiers cost more money because the water has to heat up and it has mold issues. I've been through it all.

Yes, a small vent, but most of the steam escapes through the spout. You must be careful as you are pouring, because when you get down towards the bottom of the pot, the lid will fall off and scald your hand. Better to take the lid off when you are pouring.

No, there is no hole. You need to cock the lid if you want to let vapor out.

No it does not. We use ours as a sand box and even in our humid summer environment of the midwest, the sand dries out over time. We have added water several times. I believe that steam escapes when the lid is on during the hotter daytimes.

It will steam in any position very well. I haven't experienced any leaks but have not used it the way you describe.

It does not. The steam that comes out of the machine is pretty contained to the immediate vacinity of the mouth/nose guard.

By head you mean the piece that the steam comes out from ? if so, i would say no, because that could get very hot and possibly burn you. this device is already hot in some areas that is metal, and whe ni touch it its really hot and slightly burns, but not nough to harm you just enough to make you say " whoah"

NO steam holes. This unit does not have steam. I love it as I quilt and I use a dry iron.

Nope, it's loose enough to allow steam to escape. If there was a rubber seal and the top sealed onto the bottom it could pop off when the contents became heated and was put under pressure. If you're looking for something that seals you're probably looking for a pressure cooker!

In my view, there are only two reasons for steam coming from the lid - (a) the lid might be ajar or (b) the lid is misshapen. I've put mine away in a cupboard and have gone back to my electric kettle.

Actually the hole is not there to let steam escape, but rather to let air in. You've probably had the lid of a pan (or slow cooker) get "stuck" after you heat the food, then let the pan cool with the lid on. The lid gets stuck because a partial vacuum forms in the pan as it cools. When there's a hole in the lid, a partial vacuum can't form because the hole let's a small amount of air in. Because the air pressure is the same on each side of the lid, it won't get stuck.

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.

No steam should come out once the unit is up to pressure. It will steam while it is pressuring up, but make sure the valve is in the right position. Once it has built up pressure it should seal itself off!

Yes, the entire appliance stays cool, except where the steam comes out. The water heats really fast.

Steam does not come out if you are not pulling the trigger. The pad however is wet so getting it completely dry isn't really an option unless you put on a new pad. The other day I dropped the cleaner tank and didn't have an issue using it to help clean that up.

mine does too, but if you look closer, there doesn't appear to leaking steam. working well.

There is a sort of inner lid that fits inside the main lid (to control steam), but basically, no, it only has one top.
