Not sure about steam vaccuum cleaners, but we have a hand-held one and it's wonderful for getting grot out of the rugs and upholstery.

I had a nice one, but then my lil' puppy didn't get along with it so well... and well she killed it!
It worked pretty well up until then... and they fixed it for me and now I just have to cage up the JRT when I pull it out.  |

As far as them being worth it... I'd guess it depends on what type of clean is clean for your household. It is great for getting surface stains out but not deep stains (like a pet mess)  We still had to call in a professional carpet cleaner to get a real deep clean on occassion. But it certainly is worth it for cleaning what can be seen  |
