Is steam suppose to release without pushing the 'burst of steam' button? If so, my iron does not.

No, I never had the steam without pressing the steam button but I still think the steam works well, it's just not constant. Hope that helps!

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.

Hi, yes it has force feedback and you need Steam to activate. Make sure you go here for advice on setting up and getting the latest patches. http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5058&p;=52711

I have not notified anyone yet but it is currently not working for some reason. It was great last Winter but I just took it out last week and cannot get it to steam at all

When the green trigger is set to the eco setting, you receive an average amount of steam; when the trigger is set the boost setting, you get slightly more...When the iron is upright, and independent of the trigger setting, the steam no longer flows.Beyond the trigger setting I believe you will be correct... excluding maybe if you use distilled water it will leak...

Make sure its set to a steam setting. This is indicated by the heavier marking on the setting dial. If its not on a steam setting, you won't get steam.

Yes, that is so. Personally, I have no issues with that, since the steam is really what does the work for you. Household irons such as this don't have an enormous steam output anyway. In my experience, the only time there was a need to regulate the steam output was with a commercial steam iron.

Mine did not work, tried numerous outlets to no avail, just would not release any steam. Very disappointed.

I had the same concern, as I expected the iron to steam and outperform the Rowenta Iron that it was to replace. I was informed by the person who in fact recommended it to me that it only produces steam when the trigger is press. I am disappointed with the product overall since I expected a steam iron.

No - When this happens I wait about 5 minutes for the steam to build up and I push straight down on the lid and it will seal then. There is a red valve that will seal after you press down. If it doesn't work the first time try again can't remember how long it takes but not too long.

You need to let steam really get going before using. Red indicator on fill tank (button) needs to come on and make sure you've stepped on lever to get steamer heating (green indicator light).

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

I agree with the other comments. I would set the timer and the switch for the steam. Wait for the steam to start and that's it. If that doesn't work, then there is a problem with your steamer.

I find this is a noticable issue when using the high side of "Low" (the first dot). I need lower heat for my dress pants, but want some steam. What happens is no steam, followed by spurting steam, followed by no steam as the thermostat kicks on then off. The iron's thermostat is too crude to keep it heated at that chosen spot. My assumption is that this shows a swing of at least 20 degrees, and at just the spot water could become steam. It's annoying.

Hi there. The left button is the shot of steam. The one on right is the spray. Hope this helps. I really like my iron.

This iron does have both a steam and spray feature. I just used both for the first time this morning.

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.

I'm pretty sure there's no steam release valve. I just looked. Must be a mistake.
