Is there a way to regulate the amount of steam produced when you're ironing different types of fabrics?

It emits steam appropriate to the fabric selection. Love this iron, highly recommend.

Yes there is a sliding tab on front for for steam selection. This is the best iron I shave owned. Lots of steam, nice solid weight and great heat.

I have regular old tfal steam iron and it blocks the moisture pretty well but i don't usually do more than 4-5 items at a time. I do like full force steam though! I spill water fairly often tho because i'm clumsy-- no drips through the cover so far!

No - I don't believe I'd try that... I think it would probably get too wet. I personally have a Conair Fabric Steamer - and I think it would do the job nicely. You might want to consider something along those lines.

I have an old stainless steel plate iron and it also leaks if I don't pay attention, so it doesn't matter if it's ceramic or what not. The key is to put the water in first, then turn on the iron and wait for it to heat up. The iron has to be fairly hot. Then press the steam button several times to "blow" it out before setting iron to garment. I've done a lot of ironing in my day. The problem with a steel plate is that it will snag delicate fabrics after a while especially if used over metal zippers and becomes scratched.

The settings go from min to max. I use the Max for quilting cottons and it is very hot. It also heats up very quickly. The only drawback is that the steam holes are only on the tip of the plate.

gosh, I don't have a clue. Honestly I don't use the steam since I use it mostly for quilting. I'll be interested in any responses you get. With my other iron I have a gravity fed water reservoir which I close, then pump the iron to use up all the steam that is in the line. Not sure how you would do that with the Oliso.

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.

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.

Provided the counter is constructed of thick heavy plastic, I am relatively certain it would work for touch-ups or ironing just one garment. However, I wouldn't advise using steam full throttle for very long for obvious reasons. Hope this is helpful.

Indo but I don't steam on it. I love ironing finished quilts on it as they don't drag on the floor. I use a spray bottle to get the creases out.

Be sure you have reached the correct temperature for steam before using iron. And if this is not the issue I would contact manufacturer

I found that the iron was not hot enough. I did not use steam, but clothing was not hot to the touch the second after ironing that spot like they were on my old iron. I don't want to have to go over the same spot more than once or twice to iron a wrinkle out. I found that was what I had to do.

Sorry, I didn't use it to steam clothes. I modified it to clean window tracks.

Yes, I would say you could steam clothes even though it doesn't have a clothes steamer attachment. There are a couple of attachments that should work for steaming clothes.

I love my iron. I am a quilter and seldom use steam and seldom press more than one piece of fabric at a time. I have never noticed a "shine" on anything I iron. I use it to iron my clothes. I doubt you would have a problem.

I don't think I would try the steam iron. Once I pulled it tight on the frame I built all the wrinkles came out.

It happens with me as well because while ironing I always press on the steam lever underneath the handle. Because this iron consumes lot of steam. It's normal. And I do not fill the reservoir till the max or else it will spit water, so I just fill half of the tank and yes after a shirt and a half I have to fill it, not fun but at least feels good to iron with good steam.Oh and always use distilled water, no tap water
