Does this provide suction, or does the tea slot allow steam to escape?

It does provide some suction and a little steam escapes. I have had very good results using these tea bag buddies.

Does not provide suction on cup, but will stick on counter or other flat surface. Does keep tea hot enough when steepint.

No suction. The little notch on the rim (which allows the tea bag to dangle in the cup while the string is held in place) wouldn't allow any suction. Still, it's a great cover, as it is large enough to cover even the biggest tea cup or mug. The biggest thing for me, though, is the ease of squeezing and disposing of the tea bag. I use two bags at a time--big cups--and this device can squeeze both at the same time easily.

There's not really any suction, but it's more than wide enough to fit over most mugs. The slot can hang off the edge if I position it right.

It does provide section to the cop I have experienced no steam loss. The suction idoes not make the cup leakproof like a sippy cup. I really like this product. I like how the slit let's the string come up through and go through the slit in the knob on the top to hold securely I like that it's large enough that when you lift it from off your cup it easily cradles the teabag so that you can squeeze it and turn it upside down the knob makes it stand upl and the knob holds any liquid that might drip from the teabag it's just a wonderfully designed product

I use it all the time and don't notice steam escaping. That being said, it isn't insulating and you will lose heat through it. Still, better than nothing! Also, slit keeps it from truly suctioning on...

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.

It's a wooden handle so it doesn't really get super hot, but there is boiling water just below it and metal at either end, so just as a matter of caution I use the mitt. That way I also don't worry about the steam coming out of the spout when I pour into the teapot.

Detachable. Sort of a problem if they aren't in all the way and you don't notice. The switch moves to steam too easily when storing/moving too so if you want quick rice and it's on steam, you'll wait a long, long time then it's crunchy.

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.

It's not actually steam per say...it's more of water being sprayed out, like a wet vac. Hope that helps!

Yes, it can. Just be cautious that the steam doesn't hit your fingers when you pick it up.

You don't have to push it down. When you line the steam dot with the one on the lid it lifts up Letting steam out. When you set it to pressure, it drops down to seal it. It feels a bit funny because it's so loose feeling.

There is some steam as with all coffee makers. I have had coffee makers ruin cupboards if they are on the counter under them. Always put my pot on my island. Love my Mr. Coffee, no problems. The reason I purchased this model was because of the removable water reservoir that you can clean!

Hi Holly. It has a (round) pressure valve at the top that comes out for cleaning. It has three modes: locked, steaming and open.

Nope, it's loose enough to allow steam to escape. If there was a rubber seal and the top sealed onto the bottom it could pop off when the contents became heated and was put under pressure. If you're looking for something that seals you're probably looking for a pressure cooker!

I have a moderate amount of steam coming from mine at it seems to be working... I've never had one before so I haven't got anything to compare it with. I can only say it seems to do the job intended. hope this helps.

A little steam escapes. I've only had it a few weeks, but every time I've used it, it does a great job. I love it so far.

Steam automatically goes onto the floor when you are using the Shark. If you want only steam, then you could you the life away part and use the nozzle and put steam where you want it but you would have to wipe the floor after as it would be wet.

i think the plastic adapter is removable, so if you have any extra steamer pieces lying around, it may fit. though i remember the steam wand is also plastic... so there may not be a good solution.

It does have steam holes and steam ironing capabilities, but if you don't put water in it it won't make steam.

no, but there is enough gap around the lid to let the steam out just the same.
