I have a Haan.  I use it on my vinyl and my carpets, as it has a carpet slide.  It dries so quickly.  Maybe her's didn't come up to temp as much.  I always sweep beforehand.  I haven't had issues with cat hair being pushed around.  I have four cats, so I have plenty of hair, plus my hair.  My sister also uses steam on her ceramic and laminate floors.  She has one that vacuums and steams at the same time.  I  don't remember the name.  There is a Bissel one out there that I know does it; I just saw it at Sam's.  It is for hard floors only.  I have carpet and steam it to fresh it from the cats.

@homedecor1  I have a steamer but seldom use it.  I prefer the mop and vinegar method.  The steamer does not allow you to get in corners, and nothing cleanes as well as a mop does.

@homedecor1, I have ceramic planks also that look like hardwood. I also have 4 cats, so I always use my dry Swiffer before using a steam cleaner. That seems to get all the cat fur/fluff off the floor before I steam clean. I'm sure the Aslett microfiber works well, but I wouldn't be without the Swiffer dry on my floors to pick up all cat fur. The steam cleaners will never pick up anything while using them.

thanks everyone.  i borrowed the Bissell crossover model today from a friend.  wow did a great job...vacumn & steams. i'm on the fence about buying any steamer but at least i have good feedback!

thanks again😊

that's what i've been using Don Aslett microfiber mop pads.  I'm like you...a cleaning "nut" and the floor gets wiped up after a spill & swept (dry mopped) every night.  Not much "dirt" on floors (what i saw on the pad) i used the bissell crosswave (crossover) vacumn/steamer today it was OK but i liked the floors were almost instantly dry!

the installer told me never to use the swiffer on the floors, just water & vinegar or clear water steamer.
