Are you able to turn the steam completely off, if so desired?

If you do not press the steam button there will not be steam. However using the steam button will give you a professional result. PS. I love my Rowenta!

I am pretty sure you can't. I always use it though and it works great. If you don't press on the steaming button while you iron steam won't come out but it's addictive and now I can't iron without pressing on the steam button anyway. :).

Expanding on the correct answer below: Yes, you can iron without steam. You have to pull the steam trigger on the handle to get steam, so if you don't want steam, you simply don't pull the trigger. Also, there is a knob that is used to adjust the amount of steam delivered, from a little to a lot. (Pretty much like any standard steam iron.)

Yes. I called the manufacturer. They suggested a fix for my problem which did not work. They are to replace my iron.

No pumping required. Once you set the steam level (Low, Medium or High), there is continuous steam until you push the steam level button again to select "off," or unplug it. I probably should elaborate that a lot of people don't seem to realize there is a way to turn the steam off aside from unplugging the power cord. No "off" switch is probably one of the most frequent complaints I see in the reviews. The off control is the same button that controls the steam level. Push the button once for Low steam, push again for Medium steam, push again for High steam, and push it a fourth time to turn the steam OFF. So, although there is no separate off/on switch (which I don't find to be a problem at all), the mop CAN be turned off without unplugging the power cord.

i can not answer your question because I nave never used one. but I think you press the button and the steam comes out the front of it.

The button is an on/off switch. If you turn it off, no steam. Nice, if you had to stop in the middle of the job to tend to something else.

No, which I consider a good thing. If you want it turned off then you need to turn it off, otherwise it produces heat (which what is supposed to do).

Yes, you can turn it off manually by pressing on the bottom on the unit or on the remote. :)

Yes, but, there is a "steam" button for extra or targeted steam. You can have the steam on, and them hold down the steam button for extra or targeted steam.

Yes there is an option to turn the LED light completely off. You just have to click through the options, the instructions are very clear.

Yes.Can be turned off by pressing the Fn + F10 key.(But, Keyboard backlight of my machine was broken in one day.Since living in Japan, it is not put out to repair)

Yes! There is an "auto" button that allows it to stop once it reaches a certain temp but if you want it on all the time you can press that button to turn it off.

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

I LOVE my iron...I've had no problems with it, I always override the auto shut-off, and the steam stays on without keeping my finger on the button. I use it constantly and love it!

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.

Yes, the auto-off timer feature is optional. You don't have to use it at all.

Yes, that procedure does turn off the "Plasmawave", which several reviewers said was not possible on this model. The unit continues to operate normally, but without the "Plasmawave" (which several reviewers found to be dangerous?). Also, when I saw the $99 + Free Shipping price this morning, I ordered two more (I have three already), and AMAZON denied me two, but let me order ONE ONLY! That's when you know this is a true bargain!

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

No! I ruined this steamer because it doesn't shut off automatically and it just kept heating itself, and burnt the bottom. Now it leaks.
