I paid 39.00 for my Shark and so far I really like it. It shoots out a 2 foot burst of steam which is good for steaming clothes on a hanger, and also steaming the mattress in case of bed bugs. I also have a Shark vacuum cleaner which I don't like because of the noise. I have a Shark floor steamer and I love it. The floor is clean and dry within a minute or two.
