I am thinking of buying a steam cleaner and have looked at the Murphy

It's on all the time when using.
Is this a common feature of these devices?

I picked up one from Lidl this week :-

But does it have an on/off control?

I haven't used it in anger yet but it has a steam-on lever on the hand
held
bit and
a heating on/off switch on the main unit body. So it looks like the steam
can be
turned off from the handheld part....

On your advice I went to Lidl and bought one this morning. .Have just
carried out a first trial and was very pleased with the result.
The only query is with the Steam Intensity Regulator (item 12 on the
diagram) which is not correctly shown. There is a setting from 0 to 5.
As there is no guidance on its use I wondered if you would let me know what
you think of it when you get started. It could be a pressure regulator?
