It is on the left. I never thought about what a problem that might be for left handed folks. But for us right-hand-ers this is a great iron. It is very substantial, well made, doesn't leak It is heavy - in a good way- the sole plate makes great contact, no need to press down on the iron for a good sharp crease.

Hi there. The left button is the shot of steam. The one on right is the spray. Hope this helps. I really like my iron.

The steam To be certain , check the screen where the 1-7 levels appears, a small steam icon shows up when the steam button is on.

Steam always comes out. I have never had to press the steam button. Are you cleaning the iron at the end of each use?

I can't tell you if this iron is better...but I LOVE IT....I use it for sewing and quilting and am very very happy :) it does use a lot of water...but I don't mind refilling it when needed. one problem.. can hit steam button and turn it off because of its location...I'm now aware of this and careful not to hold iron near the button....

If you press the button. It occasionally lets off a little when you are using the steam setting when you put it vertical after doing a section of clothing.

The button is an on/off switch. If you turn it off, no steam. Nice, if you had to stop in the middle of the job to tend to something else.

Heats up fast....like the combs down the center of the iron, especially if you have thick hair as the combs hold the hair and pull it nice and straight. I do not use the steam feature.

it has both shot of steam and spray. Have to say I had my doubts as I had never had an inexpensive iron worth a toot. This little (inexpensive ) thing is rally good. I had to switch to a lighter iron due to shoulder issues and took a chance here. It has worked very well and I have been very happy with it.

Gee, I dont know why you would keep getting it. I did not like the iron because as I was ironing my hand would change the setting. The setting control is right where I hold the iron. Very bad design in my opinion.

Mine does not wet the fabric but it does put out quite a bit of steam. Working with small quilting parts, you could easily get a steam burn if you don't get your hand out of the way. You can adjust the steam but I've never tried as I like the steam. It is an awesome iron. Helen

I am in same position as Charles, I haven't used mine enuf to really give a good response, however, it uses up water really, really fast which irritates me. I find I need to have the steam button pushed almost to the max to get any steam. Maybe setting it lower will help and using the button to release the steam. As I re-think this response....it must be giving continual steam when set to the higher steam setting if I am using water so fast....now, are we all confused....I need to use it more but overall, I am happy with the iron....it is my second Rowenta and, at this stage, I won't even consider another brand.

Have not used the Clover iron but know the Rowenta had a short life for the upright steam feature. It failed in less than one year, but still worked in the horizontal position. It was the second Rowenta that failed this way for me and saw that others posted the same problem

It has an off button. You dial it to the type of fabric you will be pressing like perm press, cotton, linen. The steam temp will be determined by your fabric choice. It's a great iron.

I think your steamer is working fine. It does not take much to do the job. I found that mine has more steam than my old one but the old one was not a Rowenta. You should be able to see a fine mist of steam

Have the Rowenta Advancer... circuitry went out, they replaced it under warantee (took 2 months)... Now 3 months into the replacement iron, the circuitry went out. Sent it for repair to the place rowenta told me to send it. Got it back after a month. Still doesn't heat up properly, lights don't work right and today I find that the water has completely leaked out all over my ironing board. Anyone have a good suggestion for my next iron? I won't go with the rowenta again!!

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.

All the irons I have had either steam or it's off. I have never owed any that would adjust the amount of steam including the last Rowenta I had. I use the bust of steam lots for very wrinkled areas. It is weird the tab goes both directions for steam and it's the same amount. Sorry I can't help you more.

You have to hold down the button. As an iron it is great. We use it in a phot studio for geting clothes ready for photograhy. They last forever
