Is it supposed to auto shut down incase water level is lower than required in the steamer? Wondering if i need to watch out or everything is automated

When its low on water it will beep, like when its done. It waw confusing sometimes because I thought the food was done but it didnt blend, thats when I knew that the water level was low.

I am not sure what exactly will happen if water level is lower than required when you start using it. The fact is, every time I used the steamer with the tank filled, there was water left over after the timed steaming and blending is done. I would say it is pretty safe and nicely automated after you activate the settings.

It won't even start if you don't have enough water in there. I never experienced it shutting down in the middle of a cycle but I'm not 100% sure it doesn't do that.

I do not recommend getting this. Cheaply made. Breaks down several times and customer service will tell you to take it apart for a bandaid fix.

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.

no auto shut off, if there is no enough water the reaction will stop going, so it runs until not touching water anymore. If full 6-8 h, depends on water (how hard it is)

The auto shutoff feature is not triggered based on low water, but rather, overheating. It can be triggered in several different ways. Look up the manual for this product, and you will find the full list on page 10.

Hi Pete,Once the heating pot heats up the water it automatically shuts off and will not come back on until you manually set it.

Yes. I leave mine on at night and it automatically shuts off then the water is low on any setting.

It has graduations on the water canister that tell you how much time that water will last. So you can set the automatic shut off appropriately. I hope that helps. I'm not sure if it would turn off if the water was gone.

No Doug it's a manula setting that you must adjust. The only function it does automatically is the water level. If the water level runs out the machine shuts off. So far I like this one and it works fine.

Mine only ran for about 2 hours before it ran out of water. No auto shut off

No. I think that is because to produce steam and operate properly, it needs to remain on. Automatic shut off, for me would be annoying aas the iron would have to heat up again and I would have to wait for the proper temperature for the steam. Hope this helps.

Greetings from GoVacuum, We are a very large distributor for this product, and I do get this questions very frequently. I have called Reliable and asked them about why the machine still leaves the floor wet. What they told me was that there is no need to continuously hold the steam trigger down while you are mopping your floors. They tell me that once the pad is wet, the pad will already be hot from the steam, and you should use the steam sparingly. I have tried this techniqe and found that the machine will still clean very well without be trigger happy, and leaves the floors substantially dryer when I'm finished. The best technique I found is to pull the trigger, let the steam accumulate on the pad for approximately 30 seconds, and then begin mopping. I can usually mop a 25 square foot section before I have to release more steam.

I've read somewhere else that when they stop making steam, you should turn it off, and empty the tank thoroughly. Then place a newly filled bottle and turn it on. I haven't had a problem with mine, but I did remember that from other reviews.

This means that the auto shut-off function can be bypassed. Instead of shutting off at some set time when the iron is not being moved and used, the iron will stay on and steam will be generated at any time. My wife likes this because sometimes she takes longer to sew quilt pieces together and the other steam irons she has will shut down and not be ready to steam-iron seams.

Yes it turns off automatically as soon as the water you measure and add for steaming is gone.

The automatic shut-off refers to the heat in the iron itself but has nothing to do with the water in the tank that has a separate control. The iron might cool off but the steam will be ready to be used use The pressure of the steam is controllable also.

I never let it run to that point. Always monitored it as it is not one with auto shut off. replaced an older one that worked well for many years, but was cautioned to not let it run dry as it would burn out. So I continue the same process.
