Two questions:How much water to you put in it?How long do you have to wait until the steam is ready?

I filled up the whole container minus a little so there was room for the steam to build. As for the wait time, it took about 12 minutes before I got any real power. Unfortunately, you only get about a 3 seconds spritz before you have to wait another 3 minutes for enough steam to build back up.

There is a cup with a line on it to fill the steamer. Mine only took a couple of minutes for steam.

Fill the small cup (that comes with it) to the water line. Takes 10 to 20 minutes to get ready. Steam is only 135 degrees at the hottest. I was disappointed with the steam.

I put 3/4 full of water and it takes no more than 1 minute to steam up. The problem with my machine is that it didn't hold the steam for too long. While plug in the socket. I will purchase another one. Because while the steam was working it cleaned my shower and bathroom perfectly. So don't anyone feel that this product won't work, it's just that I may have had a defective machine

The amount of water is approximately 8 oz. It is ready for use within about 4-5 min. The cord is about 6 feet long. I use a heavy duty eextension cord for convenience.

There is a fill line in the bottom section, but I don't think it really matters. You just need enough to make steam for the 6 or 7 minutes of cook time.

About 5 minutes but I turn it to the "Cool Mist" setting then back to warm steam & continue for about another 5 minutes. I think it cuts off at 5 minutes to allow the machine to cool itself & make sure you do not burn yourself. The water cylinder always has remaining water in it so I'm not sure how long it will go before running dry. The instructions recommend no longer than 10 minutes of warm steam anyway.

I don't think so. Mine continues to produce steam until the timer goes off. Sounds like a malfunction. I guess maybe make sure it's got enough water (seems obvious, I know). Other than that I'd call the company!

My instruction sheet advised to let the steamer cool down a few minutes, and because of the extreme amount of steam from the unit after opening it, that made sense to me. You can find something else to do for just a couple of minutes. It's a safety issue I learned the dumb way. Besides, you'll probably be clearing debris steamed loose or drying windows, etc. Hope this helps. I had the smaller unit but love this one because it holds more water, don't have to stop and refill as often and it's still lightweight. Haven't found anything it won't reach or get cleaner. Particularly like the shorter attachment because it gets into tighter places like tracks on thermal windows.

run water thru a couple of times when you first get it and make sure you are using distilled water. Wait till completely heated and a good stream of steam is coming out before placing infront of a client. Try using the ozone for a fuller stream of steam. I haven't had any problem with mine Check all conection are tight.

It's only about half an inch high, so to steam you'd be really limited in the amount of water. For steaming you might want to stack a couple of them and use a metal colander that has a long base.

If you send me address, I'll send you a steamer with instructions. I received a few for free, more than I ca use. Short instruction is lift handle and turn and pull out to reveal hole. Use mini scooper and place 3 scoops of salt and use container and fill with water once. Place handle back, plug in. Will start to steam, wait 10 second before use. Will garmet hung and steamer upright, use back and forth motion lightly on clothing to remove wrinkles. Hold steamer with cloth to refill with water as needed, but unplug steamer from handle first. After use, be sure to rinse out steamer thoroughly, shake side to side. Water may be brown, this is normal. This is important. Kevin

Add a large pinch of salt (1/2 tsp or so) and voila, full steam ahead! The more salt, the more steam, but don't overdo it.

Plug in, fill with water, press power button, press temp button until all top lights are lite, press time button until desired time is reached. Wait 15 minutes for unit to heat up. Also if there is standing water in the container that emits the steam in the tent it will not steam properly.

The boiling temp is 212, it takes about 15 to 20 min. Steam is not too much.

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.

Not very long to make steam, but it doesn't last for long. The more I use it the more I wish I would not have bough it.

There should definitely be hot steam. Are you saying that you get no steam at all? or that the steam is not hot? Did you get a flawed product?

This unit is rather large & sort of bulky....i just got one the other day, and i still have lots of questions...i assembled it, and filled it with some water & waited until the light came one & tried it out, but i don't think i had the right attachment....i too would like to know how hot the steam gets & what all can i use this on? i thought it might be good to clean some of our grandson's toys, etc...i think i'll call the info number this week....

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!
