Question 1

Do you need the metal head?

Accepted Answer

As previously mentioned, the metal head acts heats up and can be used as a traditional iron, but for steaming it's bulky (large diameter) and too heavy to hold for any length of time. I exchanged the metal head for the plastic head

Question 2

How do you hang clothes to steam? Can you hang them from the steamer itself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I use a plastic hanger bc the wood can stain your clothing.  There is a spot to hang next to where you hook the hose at the top.  Love this steamer.  Word of warning, do not leave water in it when not in use.  After each use, I take the water bucket out and allow it to continue steaming until the water in the machine is gone.  This prevents spores from growing and prolongs usage of steamer I believe.

Question 3

metal vs plastic head

Accepted Answer

I would use heavy plastic gloves on both hands with people of any age. I found a package containing one glove on Amazon, but you need 2 for safety. I found well made gardening gloves at a discount store for less than $3.00. Please remember this safe tip. When you burn yourself, which you will certainly do without careful attention, and wearing gloves on both hands, Immediately get to the faucet as quickly as possible and run the coldest water possible on the burn site, (Even if you believe the burn is minor) this will stop the burning process on your skin and will nip it ending all damage. The faster you get your skin under water the less pain you will suffer and no scaring will develop. It works and is most important to remember this and teach your family this healthy tip most don't know. Never, anything oily like butter or oil of any kind. This is a nice place for the burn to intensify and cause more damage. Thanks...

Question 4

Can this be used on bare floors such as linoleum or wood?

Accepted Answer

If you want a good, reasonably-priced floor steamer, I would recommend a Shark. I've had one for a couple of years now, and I love it!  I paid well less than $100 for it; though I don't remember exactly what I paid, I believe it was even less than $50 on sale at a local big box.
