I have read that to get continues steam you have to hold a button down. Surely this is a bit fiddly to do whilst ironing?

It does sound it I know but it's not. I find that I use the steam button on tricky creases or material. Example being if Iron trousers i'll just steam the creases and release button for remainder. If I steam a blouse on a Hanger it will only need a few seconds of steam and the whole things done. When you release button there is still a level of steam to continue with. Remember you only need to iron one side of items generally. So each item takes seconds to iron. You soon get the hang of it and you'll never go back!

Does is allow steam at every temperatures? Or does the iron have to be set at some high temperature setting to allow steam to be released?

Steam is generated no matter what the iron temperature is.

Does the “tank” make a noise when you press the steam release bottom on the iron? Is the steam coming out delayed if seconda?

Yes it makes a kind of pumping noise when you first start ironing. There is also a time delay between pressing the steam button and the steam coming out which takes a while to get used to.

how can you tell when the iron is hot enough to use the steam function

Once the blue light stops flashing hold the steam button in, until the steam comes through. There is a delay, maybe 20 seconds, but once it starts it works a treat.
