Which steam generators drain or flush themselves?

25 steam products here have an automatic drain or flush in their makers' words: 6 as part of the unit and 19 as an option or add-on. Each product page quotes the maker's own wording.

Read each maker's own wording on the drain first, since some build it into the unit and others sell it as an add-on with a price of its own. Then compare the room size each maker rates the generator for, and narrow by price and warranty.

Picks by the numbers

Each pick is the product that comes first on one figure its maker publishes, with the next ones on that figure after it. Choosing which figures to rank by is our editorial choice; the order on each is the makers' own numbers. None is a judgement of quality, we have not tested these products, and whether we earn a commission on a product never decides a pick.

Prices are the price each maker's own site showed in US dollars on the date shown; the seller's page has the current price. Warranties and safety listings are the makers' own statements, cited on each product page. A price starting 'From' is the cheapest configuration a maker offers, which may leave out the heater or options. Every product here is sold by its maker on the maker's own site.
