Can this iron release steam constantly without you having to keep pushing on the steam button?

Hi have owned for 8 months when steam setting is used does not seem to have any problem with continuous steam. Also very easy to fill tank with water as it comes off the iron to take to the sink. Good luck !

I have never had to press the steam button while using the iron. However, because it is a cordless iron, it stays hot for a few minutes and then you put it back on the charger while you move what you are ironing to the next position. It heats up very quickly and I have been extremely satisfied with it. I don't do a great deal of ironing but love the convenience of not having a cord. I wouldn't go back to a standard iron again. Hope this answered your question.

No, there is no "on/off" steam switch; to dry iron, you do not use the steam button and the unit will not send steam to the iron. You would need to hold the button for continuous vertical steaming, but it is not a hard button to hold down. Puts out a serious amount of steam!

Yes, it glides well and steams well, including a burst of steam. The handle design makes it a bit unsteady on the ironing surface so I use a square tile to set it on and have no problems.

Steam always comes out. I have never had to press the steam button. Are you cleaning the iron at the end of each use?

Yes, I've found running the steam train as fast as possible for a few minutes gets the steam going. I too had trouble with at first. It is a subtle but very neat effect.

i can not answer your question because I nave never used one. but I think you press the button and the steam comes out the front of it.

Meg, I purchased the V200 because it has the option of selecting continuous steam since I do a lot of sewing and quilting and had this feature on a previous iron. I truly love this iron and would recommend it to everyone. I have not had any water spitting problem with this iron which makes the iron worth its weight in gold. There is no better iron on the market as far as I am concerned.

The button is an on/off switch. If you turn it off, no steam. Nice, if you had to stop in the middle of the job to tend to something else.

Irons have automatic shut -off when not in use for short period of time... this iron can be bypassed and not shut off. Very good for people who sew cause you don't have to wait for iron to heat up again. If you sew you know thats good. Steam ready is ready on all settings. Some irons don't produce steam on lower settings.

As M. Delarazan said, don't squeeze the lever the whole time. I found you don't even need to unless you want a 'burst' of steam. As you mop, when you are pushing forward, put some pressure on it, like you are pushing the pole down into the mop head, this produces steam as well. Think of it as an iron on steam option.

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've never had that problem and I use the steam option all the time. You might try not pressing so hard on your fabric and making sure the fabric is smooth on your ironing board. Hope that helps. Good luck!

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.

You don't have to constantly hold the button down it, the button just gives it that extra boost of steam. I would say its cleaning power is excellent. I love it!

If you raise the little pressure valve in the cover to manually release the steam, it takes only a minute or two. I don't know how long it takes by not manually releasing the pressure,as we have not used that method.

Yes. The steam only comes out of one spout. It starts the moment you put the switch on.

This is not an automatic steam iron. There is a steam button that you press to use, while actually ironing your clothes. Or you can leave the water reservoir empty while ironing your clothes, so you cannot use the steam at all.
