Many many like Shark Steam cleaners for tile. My preference is for the Hoover Hard Floor Cleaner. Yep I know it is not technically a steam cleaner. I have used both cleaners. Yes the Shark is a true steam cleaner and that is a plus.

I prefer the Hoover because...it also sucks up the the little bits of stuff on the floor so there is not need to vacuum and clean...it is all in one motion (it has a vacuum mode on it but is not needed bacause the wash setting also sucks up) and the water gets sucked up into the tank....I LOVE emptying the dirty water and all the little bits of dirt and food crumbs etc....esp when I thought my floor was already clean and probably did not need to be cleaned that much!!!! The water can be put as hot as you like it but truly it is not an actual steam cleaner.

With the Shark you either have to vacuum or sweep first to get the little bits of stuff up before you use it. ... it has no sucking up setting!
