When you heat the steam pack in water, does it saturate the pack or is there a protective cover on and just the inside material heated.

It does saturate the pack and it becomes very hot. There are tabs to help you lift it out of the water but we still use tongs to lift it out. We put it on a folded beach towel and wrap it up. Put on the area and let the heat seep in. you may have to add a layer of towel or take off a layer to get the right temperature. It really works miracles on muscle back pain. We bought a large pot at Goodwill to boil the hydrocollator in.

The outer cover of the hydrocollator is a canvas like material and it gets hot. One needs a couple of towels to wrap it.

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.

No steam. My box says that it's the smooth and sleek finish. I really like it so far.

We have noticed no difference in having the cover. There is absolutely no heat build up that we are aware of. We find it to be just what we were looking for using it on our Tempurpedic mattress.

I have heard that some people warm it up by putting the container in hot water. I got mine in the summer so it was liquid. I just transfered it to another container.

Definitely no steam. I never noticed it heated up beyond the temperature of the water I placed in reservoir. Maybe this is because I only used for small jobs that took a few minutes?

There are two areas where the water resides - at the bottom where it is filled and another smaller area that handles water during the steaming process resting right above it. With the steaming process, everything that holds the hot/boiling water is kept rather clean. I do not use any additives in my food as I don't want anything to go down into the water. After the steaming process, the smaller tray can be washed with soap and water (haven't put it in the dishwasher) and the larger one at the bottom can be drained and simply wiped out when cooled. I love this steamer and have a friend who feels the same way....you will not be sorry!!!!

Yes, there is a small hole to allow steam to escape. I've had mine for several years, use it regularly, and find it does a great job.

No. There is no moisture present. You would make matters worse. The "Steam" I haven't used the "Steam" product, only their dry mask.

It allows steam out but not like the pan is uncovered. It does restrict the amount of steam that boils off.

The cap has to be placed in microwave for few minutes to heat up. There is no steam it moist heat. Cap is placed over the rollers immediately and left on for a period of time. If your looking for something like heat rollers then this not the item for you. I hope this answers your question.

There is no gel pack. The thermophere pulls moisture out of the air thereby providing the wet heat.

No, the heating element is not exposed. When the water comes to a boil, it shuts off automatically. I have always poured the water immediately and have not noticed if the kettle maintains heat for an extended period of time.

No it doesn't get hot holding it and yes it has two different settings for how much steam is released.

No, none at all. Inside it's only metal. There is no water level indicator (only amount of water you are pouring into it and max indicator, all metal). The only plastic in the inside would be the top lid. But water would not touch it directly when boiling, I guess the steam does. Water is only in contact with metal from base to top.

I have lots of steam in my shower too and no problems. Battery lasts a long time and I do not have it directly in the water however if I dropped it in the water I would not be worried.
