Do they work? Was hoping for more

The problem with gadgets is they sometimes they create more problems than they solve. Hot steam is a great cleaning mechanism, however to get that steam requires water and heat. Water and heat are hard to get in a compact and usable form factor. In other words, both product run out of water and heat (in a reasonable amount of time).
My other concern with this products is rust; with the water and heat with metal, rust will develop.

Also, the Mira Bella is a bit flimsy. The handle and the attachment for the pad does not seem to hold-up. The Shark is bit better built but still runs out of heat.

These products may be on to something, but it going to require a much more substantial tool.
