Do you have to constantly pump to get the steam?

No, Let it get hot enough for the light to go on and as long as there is enough pressure the steam will keep coming.Maybe you have a defective one. Do as the directions tell you.

There's no need to pump. The light will shut off when the steam pressure is right. It will do this multiple times before all the water is gone.

The manual says that everything needs to be upright to steam properly, however I have used it in this fashion and while you're taking a risk of burning yourself, I've been able to do it just fine. Just know that's not how it's desigend to be used.

Once the unit heats enough to begin steaming (less than a minute), it steams continuously. There is no trigger to pull or hold to keep the steam flowing. The knob regulating the steam flow does turn easily and a few times I have accidentally decreased the steam flow to lower than my desired setting.

Yes, but, there is a "steam" button for extra or targeted steam. You can have the steam on, and them hold down the steam button for extra or targeted steam.

It says yes and I use it on mine all the time, but just keep the steam setting on low.

It happens with me as well because while ironing I always press on the steam lever underneath the handle. Because this iron consumes lot of steam. It's normal. And I do not fill the reservoir till the max or else it will spit water, so I just fill half of the tank and yes after a shirt and a half I have to fill it, not fun but at least feels good to iron with good steam.Oh and always use distilled water, no tap water

Well, it is only soft hot steam and I would think you would want some water pressure. I won't buy it for that single purchase.

You cannot add steam. If you want steam, you'll need to get a sauna with rocks

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

As M. Delarazan said, don't squeeze the lever the whole time. I found you don't even need to unless you want a 'burst' of steam. As you mop, when you are pushing forward, put some pressure on it, like you are pushing the pole down into the mop head, this produces steam as well. Think of it as an iron on steam option.

Yes, you have to hold the dial on the Clean function. I have had mine for three years and I clean it as indicated. I push the "burst of steam" button on and off until all the water has been used up. It is still working like new.

Actually, if you want to keep the steam going you have to hold it. To start the steam you push the button till becomes blue..it takes a few seconds. It is not that convenient...besides that, the machine makes a great espresso...and I am Italian so picky with good coffee :)

Very little steam comes from this unit, until you unlock it to refill, then there is a small amount of steam that escapes. But it vents very little while in holding mode.

Yes. While you do not have to pump for every shot, you still need to reload every time.

NoYou have to pump the pump level to get the flow started and use what is in the hose.

No. I think that is because to produce steam and operate properly, it needs to remain on. Automatic shut off, for me would be annoying aas the iron would have to heat up again and I would have to wait for the proper temperature for the steam. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it does require a little effort. Much like pumping a bicycle tire with a hand held. Recommend pushing out all the air my smooshing it so save time/energy.
