Does it steam at temperatures below cotton setting. (The DW1050 does not.)

There is a little steam icon above the cotton setting. Only above that setting will it steam. Below that setting you should not put water in the iron as it will leak.

Below the cotten and linen, is wool and silk.....all can be steamed.....bottom setting is nylon which is no steam. I hope this helps.

According to the booklet no lower than wool. I have only cotton clothing, but put it up to linen. Was hoping to stop spitting.

Yes it does. My husband & I wear a lot of cotton clothing & it does an excellent job. Just make sure you use the steam.

The only steam I see is when I open it to empty/refill. I suppose it depends on the temperature you keep the water at after bringing it to a boil: we keep it at 195F. So far, we're very happy with our purchase - instant hot water all day, without much maintenance and, it appears, without much impact on the electric bill (i.e. it seems to be well insulated).

Definitely no steam. I never noticed it heated up beyond the temperature of the water I placed in reservoir. Maybe this is because I only used for small jobs that took a few minutes?

Well, it is only soft hot steam and I would think you would want some water pressure. I won't buy it for that single purchase.

I bought this one because I do a lot of ironing and like a lot of steam. I love it. I haven't used the DW6080 but one of the reasons I did not buy it were the reviews regarding it not being great for low temps and steam. I this helps!!

No. This is the worst steamer of all time and is a waste of money. It doesn't steam anything.

No. It uses the water you put in the tank. There is **no** heating function to create steam.

It does have steam holes and steam ironing capabilities, but if you don't put water in it it won't make steam.

it heats the water in the machine but does not reach steam temperature. I'm not sure how hot water gets but hot enough to work on stains.

It gets pretty hot. You have to be careful with more delicate fabrics, but this is a very nice steamer. As far as using it without steam, I really don't think so.

Unfortunately my experience is limited to the DW6080 only. However I have nothing but praise for this iron, it works very well, no dripping it delivers good steam and gets the job done in less time than ordinary irons.

R. Schmidt is correct...if it's producing steam, it's 212 degrees F. Otherwise, it's water.

any steam iron leaks if the selected setting is below the minimum steam setting.

A little steam escapes. I've only had it a few weeks, but every time I've used it, it does a great job. I love it so far.

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

I returned it before I ever had to clean it. It did not steam to my satisfaction.
