the bigger your place the more it’s worth it! I live in a small flat and conciser buying one anyways :D
For what purpose? There are different kinds
mostly to clean the kitchen (grease, stovetop, oven, toaster, microwave, etc) and bathroom (shower, sink, etc)
and the window sills, sliding door tracks.
really they are sterilizers, to clean you'd need to also rinse something i think
mainly useful where you have constant high humidity that fosters growth of fungus that fill the air with allergenic shit
the magic trick of it is that it lets you make a surface close to boiling point briefly which kills fungus and also will kill insect eggs and small insects and stuff like mites... these also are reasons why it's useful
usually it's just a remedy for a badly ventilated building, on the whole, but where i live it would be a boon for keeping stuff from going moldy
Worth it. It does the deep cleaning that other devices simply can't hold a candle to.
