Review: First Attempt - Success! - I bought this steam generator 2 years ago. It was "on sale" so I thought, "why not, I will eventually give it a try." Two weeks ago, I was inspired to build a trout landing net which required steam bending thin (1/8th inch) strips of walnut, birch, and yew wood. Out of the box and ready to go, I only needed to study the manual that came with the steam generator then construct a steam chamber. I was off and running! There was nothing difficult about this process. Other than being extra cautious (it never hurts to be careful) about potential over pressurization, I simply plugged in the steam generator, checked my timing parameters, then proceeded to work on another craft project while I waited for the steam process to take place. Fifteen minutes later, my first strips were ready to clamp to the jig. The wood was like butter and molded easily around the template. I left the steamed wood clamped to the jig for 24 hours (although I recently learned that it's not necessary to wait that long), then completed the gluing up process (messy, but the excess glue sands off easily). The result is the attached picture. I can only say good things about this steamer. This was my very first attempt at steam bending; and it worked! The kit includes everything you need to set up your system. The only thing you need to do, besides building your steam box is drill a hole for the fitting that connects the steam hose to the box. The manual includes a very nice set of instructions for building your own steam box out of plywood. I made mine out of PVC, and while the PVC warped a bit from the intense heat, it was still satisfactory. I plan to build a similar box out of 3/4" marine plywood; other people use galvanized stove pipe and even stainless steel if you want to get fancy. As true for any project using steam and tools, be sure to study the warnings and precautions described in the manual. You will be dealing with 212 degree steam so wear gloves when you are removing your steamed wood or are in contact with the system while it is in operation. The Earlex Steam Generator has opened up a whole new world of wood crafting for me, and I thank them sincerely for a product that has allowed me to get started with a very effective unit at a very reasonable price.
Review: Surprising little steamer! - We purchased this for use by college students to learn steam bending techniques in advanced sculpture and furniture classes at the Mpls College of Art and Design. It was a replacement for an old purpose made steam generator that had vanished. Although a tad wary of the small size and plastic construction it did a splendid job, withstood the less than experienced use of some 30 students, produced some great bends, and is still going strong. I am sure the auto shut-offs helped more than we know and it continues to consistently produce 212 degree steam in 30 to 45 minutes effectively for both our small (4' x 6" x6") and large (7' x 12" x 10") steam boxes. And it does dependently produce steam for a couple of hours. I will be adding one to my own inventory one of these times…. Easy and reliable with all the parts needed to hook unto a shop made steam box.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can we use it in a bathroom for occasional use?**
A: You need to use it in a closed environment.  I'm using this in a Vivosun Grow tent that is 36"x36"x72" 
It will maintain an air temperature of 104 F for roughly 1.5 hours at 75% humidity.  If you wrap a packing blanket around the tent it'll maintain 115-120 F.  I use this as a wet Sauna for 30 minutes a day and it is awesome. You need to be careful with the input hose.  I rigged a PVC elbow pipe outlet so that it flows away from my seated position.  It's a very affordable portable alternative time the EMF emitting FIR saunas.

**Q: I want to use this for my nose care. Do you think there is no problem? It seems the material is plastic so I am asking**
A: I am not sure what "nose care" you want to use this for. It is designed to fill a small chamber with a lot of very hot steam. When the correct time amd temp are achieved it allows you to bend wood for furniture or like I use it, for making wooden sculptural parts. If you are trying to use this like a netty pot I do not think it would work. Try the medical section of Amazon for nasal clearing equipment.

**Q: Does anyone know if something like this could work for a home steam room? I do massage at home and I'd like to introduce steam. 12'x12'**
A: I think it might. I bought one of these as a replacement for the generator that failed on my sauna tent. I hooked up and found that it works great, but is kind off very warm and can only stay in my sauna tent for about 15 mins. For a larger volume if you bought two of these they could make a very nice small steam room. The only down side is that there is no thermostat - so it just cranks out the steam

**Q: How large a steam box( cu ft/ dimensions) is this made to be used with.  And what is the temprature in the box  212degrees???**
A: My box is 31"L X6 1/4 W X3 1/2 T.The larger sizes I tried just did not work(too much volume I suspect) The biggest source of heat loss is the extra long,thin hose from the manufacturer.I took the hose off of the steamer and inserted a thermometer into the discharge port where it read 212* then reconnected the hose to the box/steamer and it barely got to 198*I then switched to a thicker and much shorter hose and this  gave me a steady temp of 200* which is fine for bending ribs.The box does not have to be air tight,some staem should be allowed to escape for a proper flow of steam.Mine is made from plywood double wrapped in foil lined emergency blankets.I think that using pipe insulation around the hose will allow more heat to get to the box.I'll try it next time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works OK but not much more.
*by G***R on November 21, 2025*

It does what it says. It is not lots of steam, and the hose is very long so it takes about 30 minutes to really get to point where there is escaping steam from drain hole in steam box. Because the hose is so long alot is steam condenses prior to making it into steamer box. It won't build up any pressure in steam box and as additional water is added it takes time for that water to get back up to boiling. This is good for a project, but if I continue to steam bend wood I will need a much more robust steam generator.
