Does the steamer detach from the stand for handheld steaming

It does detach but is rather heavy and I would think it would be akward, but it does detach

Yes, you can change the attachments while the power is on but steam is not actually coming from the end. (Separate button for steam) I highly recommend this steamer!

Not at all. This is a GREAT steamer, I really like it. The oval size makes it more useful than the regular round ones.

Unfortunately, I don't see how the arm detaches either. I keep mine in my hot water bath cooker, which is deep, so it works out for me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hello Laura, There is no removable tray on the (top) or bottom tier. These trays are labeled #1 and #2. #1 on the bottom which fits the steamer and #2 on the top. Both trays have small holes which allows the food to be steamed. There is a tray which slides out from the steamer that allows you to add more water to the steamer if needed. This is a very good steamer and I highly recommend it.

No. What you see in the picture is it. It does turn and pull out, but no other attachment. Works great, though.

Yes, the figures are detachable from the stand. They come in two pieces, the figure and a round base. The figures cannot stand without the round base.

Yes the purple tube detaches so that you can use it as a handheld up close vac, like in the car, etc....

I have never had the handle accidentally detach while grating. The grater has a locking ring that keeps the grating cylinder in place. GREAT piece of equipment. I give them a gifts !

Yes! the handle attaches to the basket, like a spring load into two holes in the basket. You can steam without the handle, then reattach it to lift out of your pot with the greatest of ease when you're finished. I LOVE it! ;o) I've already used it for turkey stock, par-boiling a cabbage head, and have thought of many future uses. (blanching veggies in the summer for freezing/canning season). Good luck!

The steam comes out in a blast in direct response to pulling the trigger. It works much better than other hand-held steamers I've tried. I don't bother with the detachable bristles---I just remove them. That's my preference. Others may feel differently.

Yes. There are two steaming sections and the lid which goes on top. I used mine to steam broccoli but I am planning to get ambitious and make dumplings.

Yes, there is a very minimalist stand and a steamer pot with a handle as shown.

You can take out the middle post. The three legs the steamer sit on, however, can't be removed.

No, but if your looking for a professional steamer that's portable... This is the best out there.

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.

Yes, it is easily removable. There is also a small rubber piece that is connected to the metal plate through which steam escapes outward; this piece is easily detachable from the metal plate for cleaning, as well.
