Tried a Shark twice at more than $100 each. Each one could only be used on the floor and each one died after a year. Seemed to know exactly when the warranty ran out. Now we have a VaporClean steamer. It is a canister with a hose and different nozzles. My husband loves it. So far he has used it to clean floors, the stove, the microwave, outsides of cabinets, countertops, bathroom tile, spots on the carpet, and even to get bugs off the car. We live in Florida and it's lovebug season right now! This is an expensive tool. I think he paid $500 for his, although they are on sale right now, but he believes it has been worth it.
