I had a Shark canister and hated it.
It took way too long to heat up and I was always waiting for it to reheat as I was cleaning. Not only that but with the steam cleaner I can see now~where does the dirt go?
The Floormate is a lot like a carpet shampoo machine. You fill a tank with a cap of cleaning solution and hot water and it put onto the floor and scrubbed with the spinning brushes. Then you suck all the water and crud up into a separate canister. There are 3 setting on the machine that you use. One is a vacuum that you use prior to cleaning. Then you wash and finally you suck up the dirty water.
I think I paid around $150
But check this one out~it must be new. You can use it on hardfloors and carpet!
Walmart.com: Hoover SteamVac All Terrain Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner, F7452900: Appliances
I've also seen them on Amazon.com for around $50
