On the 1 star reviews everyone complains about this machine not using enough water however I thought you could manually adjust water levels?

Everyone is used to water going to the top of the basket on the old machines. The new design, and to meet the new regulations, only allows water to fill half way up the basket. If you don't overfill with clothing, you can't stuff the machines like in the old washers, it works reasonably well .

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

Mine does exactly the same thing, there is a floating piece in the tank that goes down and triggers a sensor to tell the machine the water is to a certain level. On mine that is when there is about three inches of water in the tank. Yes it seems like it should use that water but it wont. I just learned to keep mine full. My guess is that it is that way becase if you leave the machine on it keeps heating water in the internal tank and this way it has water to replenish the internal tank if it needs it. Either way, your machine is working normaly.

I don't think so. There would have to be some type of water refill regulation setup and I never read (or saw) anything about that.

There could be a few issues, either the suction pump is defective, there is an obstruction in the hose attachment, or an air leak if the hose portion is damaged. There is also a possibility that there is nothing wrong with it, the machine in my opinion is useless, don't expect much from it even if it is working.

Yes, and it's so annoying! There is water pooled there everyday. I understand it's condenstation from the lid, but the machine should've been designed better to avoid this.

Make sure the water reservoir is pushed down ALL THE WAY. I had mine pushed down and the steamer worked, but the pump wasn't getting any water. When my boyfriend tried to push down the water reservoir harder, the machine started working! Good luck!

I believe you've got a defective one as I did. Mine did not produce any steam. If I were you, I would return it right away. Give it a 1 worst rating as I did.

I think you need to put on auto and set it to 50%,that is how I run mine and it will cut off when it reaches that level and then cut back on. Check water level also.

Just do not tighten it on all the way. It will raise the water level and allow more water to flow out.

Absolutely, just select the desired zone and press "water now", or I believe there is a way to water all - just not looking at it right now.

I don't see any easy way to attach a water line to this machine. Perhaps a small water line, with a manual valve, to refill the reservoir. But this would be a jury-rigged solution.

1- make sure you top the water tank. 2- make sure the machine is at hot temperature ( turn on the coffee brewer until it gets to #2) that way you know its hot enough3- the steam nob is adjustable you can turn it to its max or lower it.. i hope that helps, i have a youtube channel i forgot the password :(

It is the crappy pumps. They fail and no water. Real pain/expensive to replace. Keurig will not admit that their machines are cheap crap. Descaling does nothing.

yes, There is a sensor to control the water level,it's automatic, so no worry.

I have the same question. It seems like the 1:2 ratio (rice ; water) doesn't work. There was a mess of steamed out water around. It's weird there is no clear instruction in the instructions.

Thanks.I should have updated this. We've been using less water and have been much happier with the results.\Anyone who is less than 100% satisfied should experiment a bit :-).-jpr
