I just used my steamer yesterday to clean a bathroom. I've had it less than a year, but it does clean things well. I have a Wagner 915 as it cost a little less than the McCulloch (and I wasn't sure I would like it), and I had an Amazon gift certificate so it cost me nothing. I would never use it to clean wood cabinets or my own wood floors, but I'm cautious with wood. I did use it on very old wood floors in my son's college house at move out time. Didn't seem to harm them. In the college house, I used it to clean the baths, floors, walls, etc. The landlord remarked that the place was spotless. Son and roommates received their deposit back which is a rarity in a college town. That alone was worth the price. My only complaint about the Wagner is that I wish it had a smaller "mop" type of attachment. It's hard to get into tight spaces like behind the toilet.

I have a steam cleaner canister from Shark that I got from Lowe's for $99. I REALLY like it. The steam lasts for a least an hour before needing refilling and I think it does a great job on the floors, corners, etc. It has several attachments for mirrors, grout, etc. I will say that it only comes with one microfiber pad (I need at least 3 to do the whole house) so you have to order from the company and it takes FOREVER. Also, if you do get one from Lowe's, I recommend getting the extended warranty ($15). I had one for about 6 months and it pooped out on me, returned it to Lowe's and got another, no problem. I'm not sure how great these things are made, but I can't complain for the price. I have a ton of tile and it takes me about 30-45 minutes to mop it all. Until I can muster up the $500 or so that it takes to get a good one, this one will do!

I have the H3060, the very first one on the page I linked to above. Don't be shocked by the price though; I bought mine brand new for about $75 less than what Hoover advertises it for. I like it a lot. It comes with two brush block assemblies, one specifically for cleaning grout. Hoover also sells a special grout solution too. It works very well, and never "reuses" water, so you're always putting down fresh water and dirt is never spread around. I guess the only gripe I might have (and even then I understand the design decision by Hoover perfectly) is that it scrubs very lightly. With brushes spinning at a very high speed there is a balancing act of pushing too hard (which could damage wood or linoleum) or pushing just hard enough to clean tough spots. Hoover erred on the side of caution, so any ground in dirt, scuff marks, etc. still require a pre-scrub by hand to loosen them up. Otherwise, no complaints. Spills, normal dirt, etc. are all picked up very well and the floor left sparkling.

I think mine is Wagner...can't recall! It's bright yellow, that's all I know. I got it at Costco and it's got lots of nice attachments. I was thinking of infused water, so like if I soaked lavender in the water then strained it, but not sure if that would make infused water. I just use our tapwater, it's municipal water, but might be our pipes that cause it. But I've smelled that steam smell at our old house when I would boil things. It's a metallic smell. So maybe it comes from the water unit? I figured oil would be out, but I wondered if a few drops just to scent the water. Or...no, I was thinking lemons or citrus but that oil might be caustic to the unit. Hmmm...well, maybe I can mist with scented water then use the steamer, or vice versa.
