what is the temperature of the steam?

I am not sure what the temp of the steam is but remember that there are different settings. I would recommend starting with the lowest setting and working up to the steam setting you need to get the job done. The steam adjusts in seconds so you don't have to wait long to know if you have the correct setting you need for the job.

Water turns to steam at 212°. The condensate (when it turns back to a liquid) is significantly cooler. The time that it's exposed to the surface is extremely short before it condenses back to liquid form. This is key because the amount of time the surface is exposed to the steam is very short if you are moving the wand as described.

The temp is 212 degrees in the tank. To sanitize, you need to apply steam for 15 seconds. Water at 74 degrees will sanitize, and to be steam water has to be at least 100 degrees. The hotter the water the more quickly it sanitizes. If you hold a steam mop on something for too long it could damage it.

The steam is not so hot that it will bother you. It is just right. Just remember to keep your eyes closed whilesteaming your face. I like it very much.

It is steam so it does get hot! If that is your only question I hope I have answered it. Just know that you will have to spend a while circling the hair over n over to get the job done properly

Yes, it should work fine. There are three temperature settings, so start on the lowest temperature. There are two pads, one soft and one rough. Use the soft pad at first as well. Also, make sure you don't leave it sitting in one spot for more than a few seconds if it is in steam mode. Keep it moving (in any direction) and you should be fine. When you are ready to turn it off, pick it up and press the temperature buttons until it goes back to stand by mode. Then you can put it back down again without worrying.

Depends on how long you set the timer. It will continously produce a good amount of steam based upon the time you set.

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.

It is a fixed temperature similar to a low setting on a hair dryer. I believe it is around 160-165 F.

It's not actually steam per say...it's more of water being sprayed out, like a wet vac. Hope that helps!

I have a moderate amount of steam coming from mine at it seems to be working... I've never had one before so I haven't got anything to compare it with. I can only say it seems to do the job intended. hope this helps.

In order for steam to be created the water temp has to reach a minimum of 212 F. I am unsure of the exact temp or weight, however it is lightweight and I agree with Chris's comment that it does seem hard to push only when it is steaming. I bought mine a few years back and it still works great and I would still recommend it. I have used it in three homes since I bought it with wood, laminate, vinyl, and stone. I like that it appears to kill germs from high steam heat - I am a nurse and this is a very important feature to me, I am a complete germaphobe and insist on getting things as clean as possible next to sterilization. Hope this helps! Good luck. In order for steam to be created the water temp has to reach a minimum of 212 F.

The steam gets extremely hot and could burn you quickly. You need to be very careful.

It isn't really "steam" in the true sense. Meaning above 212 degrees. you add steaming hot water from the tap and the machine has a heating element that boosts the temp a few degrees. Contact the tech dept. of Hoover for more specifics.

There are three temperature settings on this heater: 208, 194(energy saving), and 140. I've set mine to 194 and it's hot enough for our everyday use(tea, instant coffee, soup, etc.). It's also fairly fast in boiling the water from room temp and the steam just comes out for a few seconds towards the end of the boiling process. So far we've been so happy with this product and I recommend it.

Don't know the exact temp., but it is definitely hotter than the drip we used to use... too hot to drink right away black, but perfect after a bit of cream is added :)
