  • Replace (About 90%) of your Elbow Grease with Steam!
Size: MC1385
Corny title aside, this has been a well-worth purchase. We recently moved into a house where the previous owners did not know how to clean properly. Whether they moved into the house with it like this or not, the grout on these kitchen tiles were so full of gunk and God knows what else that when we first moved in, I attempted to take a chopped down nylon bristle brush, a soapy water and bleach mixture, and go to town on these. My results were impressive, but it took hours, and hours, and hours of scrubbing just to finish the kitchen area, leaving the entire larger dining room portion as nasty as you can see in the image. I'm aware there's a few spots on the tiles themselves that don't look like the machine did a good enough job, that's not the case! I'm simply saving those spots to try out the steaming mop head part. Anyways, I knew if I wanted to get these clean, I was going to have to find another way. I've seen McCulloch steam machines recommended specifically for Auto Detailing, and based on the results I've personally seen, I imagine it'll do phenomenal there. But steam has its uses just about everywhere, and mine was in the kitchen. This was my first time using a steam machine quite like this, so I'm not sure if there's a better way or if I should be using more steam or not, but I set the dial back to use about as little steam as possible, and then bumped it up a tiny bit from there. I attached one of the wider Nylon bristle brush attachments onto the precision nozzle, and went at it. My process was to let the steam do as much of the work for me as possible. I've done more than enough scrubbing on this floor already, so I wasn't eager to do more. I pull the trigger, and move slowly over the grout line, letting the bristles drag on the tile. I do about 3 slow back and forth passes, and as I'm finishing up the 3rd pass, the gunk is already starting to wipe away with the very gentle bristle pressure. Once the 3rd pass is done, I start scrubbing my way back up and down the grout line, blasting the steam the entire time. At this point I'm using a little more pressure, but it's still hardly anything at all, just enough to make sure that the bristles are able to reach into the grout to take out all the nasties. At this point I'm just scrubbing anything I see, dark spots on the edges, dark spots in the grout, etc... just lightly scrubbing. I'm using so little pressure that I can apply the pressure I need with one hand, it's not difficult at all. It takes maybe a whole minute to do an edge of tile if I have to really scrub out a tougher spot. Once I'm done scrubbing, I take my trusty disposable automotive rag, wipe up the water, and I'm off to the next grout line. It's that easy. When the rag is soaked, I take it to the sink, wring it out under clean water, get is as dry as possible, go back and start again. As far as the machine itself is concerned, it can put out a lot of steam. While I don't see anyone needing to use it for a true 2 hours straight (I got the big one), I'm almost certain the machine can handle that. The quality of all the parts seem fine, they're all plastic, but given that they're supposed to withstand the high temperature steam that's coming from the machine, I'm sure they're a higher quality than your typical stuff. I've seen a lot of reviews about how their brushes and such aren't made to snuff with the machine, and I have to say that after having used the same single nylon bristle brush all day, these people have got to be scrubbing way too hard with their stuff. Steam is meant to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, breaking down virtually anything with the moisture and extreme heat combo (not to mention it's naturally disinfecting as it does!). Once broken down, most of the stuff you'll be using this for should be able to be very gently scrubbed away with minimal effort. You don't have to use a lot of force to see results, the steam does the hard work for you. Granted, this isn't a miracle machine, you're still going to have to put in a very little amount of effort to get it to that 100% mark, but man if it doesn't make it so much easier. If you're on the fence but you have a project in mind you could use this for, I'm almost certain this will make that job easier. ... show more

  • Powerful steam cleaner that works great for detailing
Size: MC1375
I picked up the McCulloch MC1375 mainly for personal car detailing, and it’s been awesome so far. The steam pressure is strong, it heats up quickly, and the tank lasts a long time — plenty for doing seats, carpets, and all the little cracks and trim pieces. The attachments are useful, and switching between them is simple. I’ve used it on a few interior jobs now and it pulls dirt out way better than I expected. Also works well around the house for floors and tough spots. Overall, really solid quality and definitely worth it if you want a dependable steam cleaner with a long run time. ... show more

  • Works great, great price, I like it, I recommend it... but advertisement is over-hyped.
Size: MC1275
Easy to use. Works decent. It's definitely not an $8000 unit, but I do feel that it's definitely well built and works great, and for less than $200 bucks you really can't go wrong with this purchase. Why only 4 stars? Well because I do feel the advertisement video is over-hyped. Don't get me wrong, this is a great unit, and it does get some things clean fairly easily and to satisfactory results... I really don't see anyone cleaning their engine with this thing unless you don't have any heavy build-up (as shown in the video). I honestly don't think I would have used this for that anyways. But I do feel that in order to get the fifth star that the product needs to at least do what it shows in the advertisements. I'm Satisfied with my purchase (1 star), The price is right (2nd Star), I would recommend the product to a friend (3rd star), The product feels durable (4th star), Works as Advertised (removal of the 5th star).. I have used this for cleaning my house though, and I can constant comments from visitors about how clean my house is, how new my windows look etc.. This unit does a great job at cleaning household things, and perhaps detailing the interior of your car. The floor steamer works great, the nozzles are cheap to replace when they wear out, in fact you can get the replacement bristles in a 5 pack from MCCulloch for like 10 bucks, which isn't that bad at all. Compared to everything else in the price range, I feel like this was perhaps the best buy. I originally had planned on getting the SteamFast unit which was slightly cheaper than this one, but decided against that buy because people complained about the attachments breaking. After purchasing this one I feel like it was definitely the better buy because the attachments just don't feel like they're going to break, they feel fairly solid to me... It's easy to get carried away with this thing, so make sure you have plenty of time when you decide to power it on! Everytime I whip this thing out, it's like immediately I start thinking "What can I steam?" I enjoy using mine, and without any thought I strangely find myself steaming everything in my house, but it does effectively remove a lot of grime and crud, and I've cleaned my stove with it... Now before you buy this thing... You need to realize that it is a steamer. It doesn't suck up water, it does generate steam which comes from heated up water, so whatever you steam you will need to devise a way to clean that up whether it be a vacuum, rag, or paper towel. Additionally think of it like your coffee maker... If you use tap water in it, you're going to find yourself later running vinegar through it to clean out the crap in your tap water, which is why I use distilled water in mine (not bad since it's cheap to buy anyways). So do yourself a favor, save time and maintenance by buying distilled water or filtered water in it. Additionally you need to make sure it cools off before you decide to empty the water, and make sure after you turn it off that you relieve the built up pressure inside of it (i.e. unplug the unit, pull the trigger on the steam control much like you do on a pressure washing unit). Not really a whole lot more I can say about it. I love using this thing, It's like having a new essential item in the home, it has a lot of great uses and will save you time cleaning quite a few things. If you're looking for a great unit under $200 you can't go wrong with this unit... If you have $8000 to blow then go buy a professional line steamer. This unit does everything I need it to, and I'm sure it will do most of the things you'll want it to, unless what you want it to do is blast off 80 years of grease build-up off a car engine... Great buy... Have fun! ... show more
