I have the Shark, purchased through QVC for $69 with 7 machine washable pads (it comes with 2 and QVC had 5 extra...the pads are $20 for 2. I read some of the reviews and lots of people are breaking the handle either when getting it out of the box or when using it. The handle is not real sturdy and you should never use it by going side to side, that flexes the handle too much. Just forward and back. I would look for a sturdier model if I was replacing this one.
The steam is very hot and dries quickly on my floors. I have pine wood in the kitchen, tile in the bathroom and vinyl in the breakfast nook. If you're going to use it for pee, I would suggest wiping it up with paper towel first and then using the Shark for sanitizing the floor. If you just go over it with the steam pad first I'm afraid you'll just have pee steam going back on the floor. The pads are machine washable (I put the used ones in a mesh bag when they're soiled and DH throws the whole bag in the wash).
Hope this helps.
