Now if you're going to buy a product with a battery rather than with the more conventional power cord, then make sure that once charged the battery can hold up to durations which suits your needs. Although it won't last in hours but usually (there can be exceptions) 20-30 mins are considered to be really good ones.
Anyway the product that we're going to discuss today is not powered by a battery so you don't have worry about those things. Steam cleaners usually use chemicals and some even have air freshener abilities which can be really helpful to avoid odors on some certain surfaces. But the case with these chemicals is that even though they can helpful but still if you have kids around then you have to extra careful or could consider a chemical free steamer.
According to some researches and reports that were done by American Association for Poison Control Center, that over 50% of kids younger than 6 years were reported to have poisoning illnesses that were occurred mostly at home!.
So you have two choices in this case,
1. Go for a cleaning product that uses no chemicals (pure steam) or,
2. You can consider using floor cleaning shampoo solutions that are child-pet safe and approved by the ISO organization such as the product below,
*. This is non toxic product both child and pet safe product which can be used over many types of surfaces such as tiles, hardwood, grout, etc.

User Feedback Section
It works really well on grouts and tiles mainly because of the solid scrubber head + can use a bit of a soap solution with it and has the ability to remove grime and other similar spills (especially on carpet stains) as well. Although if you turn it off while using for some time then the pad has a tendency to get a bit wet because of the absorbed steam perhaps, so keep that in mind.
Be careful while using the provided hose attachment because it can get very hot once the steam started to flow through (if you have kids especially). Although the nozzle is pretty useful for cleaning smaller places, etc but the steam is not highly pressurized, so don't hope it'll blow away things with ease. But still has some pretty decent steam output nonetheless.
And while using the default nozzle the heat seems to be a bit lower than usual, so if you have dried-out stains then it is recommended to use the provided attachments instead. And while cleaning inside ovens or dishwashers, softer surfaces such as couch or beds, etc by using the necessary attachment you can get the best out of it. Another thing is that, even it being a hand-held steamer still you can clean pretty fast which is a big "plus" that anyone would love.
So if you want a steamer that is highly portable, comes with a reasonable price, lots of attachment thus making it a multi-floor ready + an excellent carpet stain remover, then the shark premium steam pocket is an excellent product.
