Mine did not work, tried numerous outlets to no avail, just would not release any steam. Very disappointed.

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.

The steam should be coming out... check if it is correctly asembled... and that nothing is blocking the way...

There is no steam. It's a triple crock pot, meaning an electric heater for food. This is NOT a steamer.

I have used two versions of this and never had that problem. Maybe you should try replacing the steam head attachement

It will not run on steam. You must use your battery or electricity from a 110V outlet. Trying to use steam will.void the warranty, and likely make one hell of a mess.

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

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.

No you don't. It releases by itself; the only thing you need to do is push a button (once) on the front to choose how much steam you want to come out. Then it's just gliding it along the floor!!

I've had the same issue! I had the machine only 2 months before the steamer wand stopped working. I was worried this could happen so have been very careful to make sure I clean the machine while it's still hot to avoid any clogging. I even ran the machine several times with just hot water and I still can't get it to work. It has been out of commission for 3 months now.

Mine stopped working also as seen below. Lights on and no steam. Emailed the company then decided to use a syringe and push air through upper tube. Did it twice and steaming!

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.

It is supposed to be cool. Mine made vey little steam. I can't really feel it and it stopped working after a week.

If you mean no luck = no steam, check the hole in the bottom of the unit to see if it is even open. Mine was sealed shut with some type of plastic. I took a very small drill bit and with hand turning only (I did not put it into an electric drill) I was able to drill out the plastic and open the hole. Then my steamer began to steam. If water cannot get into the hole, steam cannot be made. I too owned a Caruso and this one works the same. The rollers steam up in seconds and by the time I have put one into my hair the next one is ready. I hope you are able to get yours to work!

It's a mixture of water and cleaner. The manual suggests using warm water. There's definitely no steam, though.

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.
