Does this thing make genuine steam like you would see in a steam room at the gym? I tried a similar unit and got hot humid air only...

mine makes the hot humid air. the bottom gets real hot towards your legs. you still sweat a lot though and it's better than nothing.

Yes this makes real steam that you cannot touch the interior piece as it will scald. But of course that is on high(9)

I wound up sending mine back, I thought it would produce a LOT more steam, honestly my iron produces more steam than the Oreck that I bought. It came highly recommended by a friend, I bought a refurbished one, but was not impressed. So from what I gather, these things just don't produce a lot of steam.

I haven't experienced this. Is the water level getting low or have you noticed that the "Steam Ready" indicator light is off (meaning that you have used up the available steam and must wait for the unit to build up steam) ? Other than that, I can't think of a reason for the situation you describe.

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I own this unit and it puts out a fair amount of steam when reboiling. If you're reboiling from almost empty it puts out a good amount of steam for about a good 30 seconds.

No you can not add steam. I love this unit and use it 5 days a week. it is an ultra red heat system. I am at 130 degrees for 50 minutes. it really isn't a dry heat and as long as you shower just before using it you sweat and clean out your system.

I have mine in my bathroom...I have a large bathroom and with the sauna or whirl pool humidity I have had no problems.

It's a steamer and it gets hot as normal steam type appliances. I really like my steamer. it is better than those stick type steamers. I assume you are looking for some type for your home use. I found dirt where I did not know it was lurking.

I run mine twice a day for 20 minutes and I can not tell that it actually adds any moisture into the room. I think it dissipates as fast as it emits into the air. Hope this helps you.

This is up to you, Mary, since the heater doesn't have a water tray to add moisture to the air. I use a humidifier myself, to put moisture into the air for the comfort of people and for the plants too. I think you need a humidifier, with this machine, in a residential living area, anyway. I've used a Vornado machine for years - I clean the washable filter at the beginning of the season and it works fine, here's a link to it, but they are many humidifiers with good feedback, that I see on Amazon, that are lower in price.Vornado Evap40 4-Gallon Evaporative Humidifier This is up to you, Mary, since the heater doesn't have a water tray to add moisture to the air.

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!

It takes a small break to build full steam back up if you use it constantly. Not a problem really, mine builds back up quickly!

How dry the floors are depends on how much steam you use. My Steamboy tends to leak like a sieve anyway, And, if I go over the floor slowly, the floor is very wet. I like the hot steam but it leaks so much water that I have to wipe the floor dry too. I didnt wipe one room dry and slipped/fell on the water.

No it doesn't. You use it for a briefer time than a humidifier and the steam is being directed into you rather than filling the room. I have asthma and use my steam inhaler to help during bad breathing times and especially when I am ill.

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.

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.

mine is cool.The steam is not very big，only can wet a small space.But it is enough to me.

No. It isn't a vaporizer or humidifyer. It doesn't heat up or steam. Air comes out. You cant see it but you should be able to feel a light cool breeze coming out of the vents.
