No, there is no on/off switch nor steam switch. Fill up water container and plug it in. Within a minute you have hot steam.

No, and I love that about this mop. My arthritis makes that an issue with other brand steam mops.

No. There is no button. The handles upright position acts as the hut of steam button As soon a you plug in the Vibe th heating funtion starts so add wayer first. Thhe wait with the handle in the upright position for the water to get hot enough to produce steam Whe you tilt the handle to begin moppng the steam starts to escape. I don'y have carpeting or rugs. So, the flooring is hardwood and linoleum in the bathroom. I use a small folded towel as a resting pad for the Vibe when I stop moving it and it is still ver hot. That is just for proyection or the finish on the hardwood floor. Hope this helps. No. There is no button.

The steam comes on as long as you have water in the machine. You don't have to do a "cool down" to continue. A well thought out item. Only wish the power cord was longer.

Nope, just press harder than what you are doing now and leave the switch. You dont have to keep it holding

Not real sure, but the steam ready button in center is of great help when you need extra steam.. Love this iron!!!!

You can only if it is not to wet. I also don't turn on the steam feature if my hair is damp.

If you press the button. It occasionally lets off a little when you are using the steam setting when you put it vertical after doing a section of clothing.

Yes. The steamer automatically shuts off when the water level gets too low.

You cannot control the steam (vapor). I'm not sure what you're asking about keeping the plug in - are you asking about the electrical plug? If so, then "yes" you do.

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.

Steam always comes out. I have never had to press the steam button. Are you cleaning the iron at the end of each use?
1774506
Yes! It has a great manual setting (on the control panel). It also has a steam clean option. We have not needed this option yet. Ours stays clean.

I don't think it had steam but it did have auto shut off. Due to auto shut off I gave it away.

No. I think that is because to produce steam and operate properly, it needs to remain on. Automatic shut off, for me would be annoying aas the iron would have to heat up again and I would have to wait for the proper temperature for the steam. Hope this helps.

No. Steam is released after approximately 30 seconds after plugging in(even if you switch plugs during use). The steam is adjusted by cycling through one of 3 steam intensity levels.

No, you do not need to hold the button down. When you press the button you will hear a click and it will run. I hope this help.

there is no button, the steam just comes out continuously until the chamber is empty. a light goes on to alert you

No. I love this iron. I don't even have to press it when I use steam. It gets ready to use within seconds.
