Does it have a timer? most steamers have a ticking timer that is very annoying...

No...this one does NOT have a timer that ticks...only a round plastic button that you turn to the right, and it works itself to the left, then off. No ticking.

No it doesnt tick.. However after about 10-15 mins it will start beeping indicating water change or level is low

It does not have steam or auto shutoff. I use mine for seam setting when piecing quilt blocks. Love it, is lightweight and easy to use.

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.

No, it definitely does not have a timer. They are quite nice in every other way, but NO timer. I didn't return them, because I decided that I had not read the description properly. They have now joined my fleet of purely decorative, rarely/never lit candles that are gradually being replaced by candles that do have timers. :)

Yes, it has a timer to run up to one hour. However, you must be awake to release the pressure when it shuts off. That is not automatic.

No, it doesn't have that kind of timer. You can time it to turn itself off - not on.

I don't believe there is a timer. If it only works for 30 seconds, I would say it is bad.

No it does not have a timer. We are on a pretty strict schedule at the salon so we are generally aware of elapsed time. When I did use dryers I never paid much attention to setting it though. Hope that helps!

No timer. It just keeps warm after it has gone through the boil cycle after water has been added. To turn on/off, just plug and unplug... No on/off buttons.

I have not had that problem, but If it doesn't stay on Long enough to start steam, let it cool, remove the glass "jar" underneath and make sure the small thermal probe is clean. The unit will turn off no matter how much time is on the timer if that probe thinks there is not enough water in the "jar" which contains the heating element.

You don't need a timer to stop the cooking. It auto stop when water at the outer layer is dried out. This is how it works. This model does not have an auto start timer either.

No timer that I know of... You put water in and it gets hot within a few minutes, stays hot until it's all used. If it's empty, it idles until you fill it up again but I usually unplug it if I won't be home for a while.

No timer... It controls water temperature by turning on when the temperature of the water flowing through rises about your desired setting

I don't believe it does, but from a steamer point of view you should not need it. The steam is doing the cooking, not the steamer.
