Steam cleaners, worth it?

[vintagetat]

Come and talk to me about your steam cleaners, what are they great with? What are they not good at? Are they all much the same or is it best to spend a bit more money?

I've got an x5. Well worth it. I clean wooden, tiled and Lino floors, steam shower unit, clean the highchair, steam the curtains... I love it.

YES well I only use it on my tiled floors but i love it. No more wet floor waiting for it to dry, no more sweating like an elephant pushing my mop around, this just glides about and gets it spotless!

I highly recommend one of these

So, without sounding too dim, how does it work. If you were doing the floor would you just steam it then clean it off after or is just steaming it enough? If I were steaming the bathroom do you steam then wipe over?

Just steam it, don't need to wipe anything over after. Its almost just like hoovering but the floor is left slightly damp. Honestly they're so easy!
