Steam cleaners

[cookiewuk]

I've recently seen a lot of adverts on tv raving about multi surface steam cleaners and wondering if the hype is true. They certainly seem to be a wonderful and easy way to keep the whole house clean and sanitized which will be important when dc2 comes along.
So does anyone own a steam cleaner they can recommend?
Can they be used on vinyl floors?
And do I need to pay £110+ to get a decent one?

Thanks in advance :)

My friend bought one from some home shopping channel - think it is called the X5?

She has raved about it since she got it - apparently brilliant on taps etc. Not sure of price but I think it was around the £100 mark.

I'm considering getting one myself.

Thanks I've been looking at that one but not sure I can justify the money before Christmas!
