Recommendations for steam cleaner for arthritic hands?

I am looking for recommendations for a gadget to help me with housework as I get older. I am not really wanting a steam mop and most of the gadgets I have seen are basically steam mops with attachments. I need something which is not too heavy and does not require too much pressure eg to hold down a button for steam. I would like it for cleaning difficult places in the bathroom and kitchen. Windows would be a bonus, so would spot cleaning on a carpet or soft furniture, but not essential.
I don't mind paying more for something suitable, but being MSE minded I want value for money, not a dud. The reviews are so variable, either 5 stars or Don't buy!
Thanks in advance.

I'd buy from Lakeland, simply because if you find you can't use it, their guarantee is so good. At work we've got something like the Valporettos but I haven't used it enough to know if it would be any good or not. Ours has a nozzle which is what we use most, wafting it around ...Signature removed for peace of mind1

Update: I bought a Bissell Steam Shot from Lakeland and so far it seems OK. Not too heavy, lots of accessories, straightforward to operate. I am not yet sure how effective it is compared with elbow grease!1
