does it make much steam

Yes, too much. Steams so much out of the back that you cannot put up against a wall or I felt like it was going to ruin the paint, because of the heat and wetness.

I don't understand the responses saying it doesn't create any steam. We have ours under an upper cabinet and it creates enough steam (out the back at the very top) to thoroughly wet the underside of the cabinet. I plan to either coat the underside with a waterproof coating of some sort or cover it with waterproof laminate - over time I think it would affect the wood cabinet. I don't think it's a flaw with the coffee maker though - it's making *really* hot coffee after all (a good thing), and that steam has to go somewhere.

I'm glad you asked about steam...No it doesn't make hardly any steam at all - and for the person who said it doesn't pour fast enough, just push the button silly!

Just to reiterate what others have said, YES, it makes steam. Steam comes from the rear, right hand corner. We put it on a tray thingy with wheels so it could be moved away from the wall when using.

Yes, a certain amount as the coffee brews. We find it better not to keep it on a counter that is under a cupboard.

Yes a decent amount I live in a manufactured home and was always worried about it affecting the walls.

The machine releases steam the same temperature it is put in. It does not make the steam any colder than the water you put in. Also, I am not sure what you mean by big steam. The steam is a constant flow, whether hot or cold. It is sufficient enough for a facial. Your face is very moist by the time you are done with your facial. I like the machine. Not many have warm and cool options.

No. It uses the water you put in the tank. There is **no** heating function to create steam.

No. I love this iron. I don't even have to press it when I use steam. It gets ready to use within seconds.

The brewing on this is quiet, however when it is done it lets out about 2-3 burts of steam which is loud.

No. All it does in generate steam, which can be applied through the various nozzles.

No, it does not produce steam and you can't see steam coming out of it. I don't know why they call it a steamer. The powerbrush part of it, however, is phenomenal and we really like how well it cleans. We like it better than the ones with the heating elements that purport to be good on pet stains. This one works better and is smaller for storage purposes.

Takes about a minute & a half to get up to full steam. And then stays pretty much continuous until it runs out. Just wish that full steam cycle was a little longer sometimes. But then you'd probably wear your wrist out.

You can steam anything in it, but it takes too much time to set up, steam, and clean. I gave it away.

no not a lot of steam but enough to feel as if your face has had a good sauna.i place a towel over my head to trap the steam/I enjoy the product. Helen

Yes, it glides well and steams well, including a burst of steam. The handle design makes it a bit unsteady on the ironing surface so I use a square tile to set it on and have no problems.

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

No. This machine spits out as much water as it does steam. Although I tried to use it on various cleaning tasks and wanted to love it, I ended up getting rid of it.

A lot! I use it daily to micro-steam my veggies, fish, defrost stuff, cook bacon. It's all in having the right "tools"

No, it does not have steam. The Dritz website says the iron will shut off after 60 minutes but it does not say that on the enclosed instructions and I for one have not tested that statement. If you quilt, sew or do crafts where you might need to press short seams it is handy for keeping at your workstation at home or in class. It's not suitable for anything but small jobs. You would not want to use it for household purposes.

Sure! It can be dialed to use minimal steam, especially for use on hardwood floors or other moisture sensitive areas. I recommend this machine. I use it regularly on my stone, laminate, carpet stains, bathroom tiles, bathroom fixtures (where hard-water gunk gets built up),and for "ironing". And it's easy enough that my special needs pre-teens are able to use it without supervision.

This does have a good steaming ability. I think if not filled too full, it should work nicely.
