Steam power adjustment
A controller that changes the power of the steam coming from the device, in other words, the overall speed and flow rate at the outlet. Do not confuse this feature with humidity adjustment: the change in power is carried out mainly by changing the operating pressure, while the humidity may remain unchanged (and vice versa).
Steamers with power adjustment can be easily adjusted to the specifics of the situation, choosing the optimal mode depending on the tasks and materials.
Heating time
Heating time until steam is generated. The duration of the heating process directly depends on the power of the device and the volume of the water tank.
We also note that in some situations the actual heating time may be less than the declared one. For example, if the main tank (boiler) is not completely filled, and the design does not provide an additional tank for cold water. For a full guarantee, you should still focus on the value directly stated in the specifications.
Child protection
Safety system in case a curious little child gets to the device. The specific way
the child protection works may vary. So, often it provides blocking the opening of the water tank — during operation, there is high-temperature steam under high pressure in the tank, and opening it, a curious baby can easily get a serious burn or injury. In some models, the controls may also be locked so that the child cannot turn on the device on its own or, taking advantage of the inattention of adults, change its mode of operation.
Steam hose length
The length of the steam supply hose included with the steamer.
The longer the hose, the farther you can reach without moving the device itself. On the other hand, a large length can create inconvenience during storage and transportation, as well as when working at short distances.
