  • GROUT! it worked.
Style: MC1375
We bought this for our 1,250 SqFt white kitchen and high traffic area grout and are not disappointed. It is convenient and easy to use. After several sessions of about 20 minutes over three days at full steam, it took an acceptable toll on our 60+ year old necks and shoulders, but nothing like bending over would have and we're not complaining. The grout (and tile) sparkle. FYI The only tool we used was the smallest circular brush, and it's a little worn now so I'll be looking for a replacement. It required us to press but not too hard. We didn't experiment with lower steam settings or other brushes, which might have worked too. We dragged an old beach towel around to sop up water that accumulated. The hiss is loud, but we could still talk. Instructions and set-up are intuitive. I wish our model had come with the squeegee but that's my only disappointment and I knew it going in. We don't have much use for the steamer except for grout, but found enough value with the purchase to recommend it to others for this purpose alone. We like our Bissell for tile floors. Id be a little happier if I could try the squeegee on our windows and glass doors to see if it could save us a few hundred dollars a year for window washing. ... show more

  • Great HOUSEHOLD steamer
Style: MC1275
After some research and contemplation, I bought this unit to clean and disinfect bathrooms and other household stuff. By in large, most of the observations from the reviews here have been consistent with what I've seen. PROS: 1. Steam lasts a very long time. The manual says it can hold up to 48oz of water from which to generate 2 hrs of steam. This appears to be right if you're holding the nozzle open constantly. In reality, its longer because you have to steam-wipe-steam-wipe repeatedly, letting the machine rest during "wipes". I can get a good 3 hrs of cleaning done on one full tank of water. Also keeping you from holding open the nozzle is that you have to give it time to "recharge" since it appears that it does not generate steam as fast as you use it. 2. It works on what it claims: most "organic" build-ups like soap scum, toothpaste, dirt, etc. Cleans darkened grout nicely. Doesn't damage the finish on fixtures. I was expecting a little too much on the calcium deposits from hard water... steam just wasn't effective. 3. Nice supply of attachments (brushes) although its unclear what types of surfaces these brushes can be safely used on. In particular, I refer to the smaller round brushes. For example, my guess is that the brass brushes are not meant for highly polished finishes. 4. Good enough to clean hard to reach crevices like sliding door tracks (shower doors or patio doors), faucet details, etc. 5. Works well on car wheels. Brake dust is very fine and a pain to clean by hand. Not to mention that the chemicals are often not meant to touch the brake disc surface (I have yet to figure out how splashing water from a hose can be directed only to the wheel and not the brakes within). 6. Steam is the only option for cleaning chemically-prohibited surfaces (I never knew chemical cleaners were not recommended in microwaves!). CONS: 1. Its loud! Not the machine, but the steam as it comes out of the nozzle. I strongly recommend hearing protection while you use it when indoors. My ears were ringing for about an hour after my first session. 2. Steaming takes time. If you're not opposed to using chemicals, often I find that bleach works as good, if not better, than steam. Compared to 5-10 mins steaming a polished chrome bath fixture to get it sparkling, it took 30 secs using your household bath cleaner with bleach. 3. Steam just doesn't work efficiently on mineral build-up. Chemicals are far more time-efficient. Hard water stains and deposits require lots of time and lots of elbow-grease (scrubbing). And even then, I'm not convinced it was cleaner than using chemicals (i.e., judging from the "gleam" off the surface). 4. The steam pressure is not very high. It isn't very low either, but definnitely not high enough to "blow" debris away more than an inch or two from where the steam jet hits. The best approach seems to loosen with steam then wash away with water or wipe away with sponge. Hence, I don't recommend using this for something like cleaning a car engine where neither wash nor wipe are feasible. (I guess you could steam long enough so that the condensed water from the steam was enough to wash away the gunk on its own, but that would take forever.) 5. It needs time to build up steam pressure while you work. The light is supposed to turn off when it is ready. While in use, the light will come on when the pressure reaches some threshold. Continued use beyond that point without letting it rest means you work with less pressure. When the tank is full of "condensed" water, the light comes on more frequently. As the water is depleted and more volume in the tank can accommodate vapor steam, the light comes on less often. 6. The width of the brushes simply do not permit reaching into 90 degree crevices or those really tight spaces. This is minor, however, but a flat or low-profile brush attachment would have been nice. A medium bristle toothbrush is a nice companion in my cleaning adventures... Overall, pretty happy with this unit. To be efficient, I've found using a combined balance of chemicals and steam is best. It definitely reduces the amount of chemicals I need to use. For hard-to-reach or delicate surface areas, steam wins outright (with the mentioned toothbrush). ... show more

  • What I have
Style: MC1385
I literally looked everywhere to see if I could justify spending money on the Mcculloch since I already have almost every other steamer and use them for the hose not a business lol.I hope I can help and keep in mind I waited for all of them to go on sale before buying so price is a factor. 4-The Shark works ok it just didn’t really blow me away. No steam power really no control over cleaning. The other 3 are where it’s at. If I were just starting off ide go with either the TVD or the Wagner. I noticed the TVD gets really Hot so you have to make sure you watch it around paint on walls. The Wagner I feel like just cleans better. Yes there are times you can’t get something off but for the most part it’s the best even better then the Mcculloch. The Mcculloch starts off subpar but after a second it heats fully and does an ok job. The Mcculloch really never goes on sale so I finally bit the bullet and got it. I think my expectations were a little too unrealistic. It works well but with the Wagner the tank is like a mouse so u just pull it and it rolls with you. The Mcculloch it more like a pressure sprayer. The Mcculloch has the metal extensions which both get hot but it’s just an awkward extension. I think the gun on the Wagner is a little more comfortable. I can see how people say the extensions in the TVD break because it gets really hot. The Wagner and TVD leaks when you point the extension up to do blinds the Mcculloch dosnt. I think after all is said and done ide go with the better price between the TVD, Wagner and Mcculloch. ... show more

  • Efficient and Reliable Steamer for Cleaning On-the-Go
Style: MC1385
This steamer came highly recommended by a car wash influencer, and I must say, it has lived up to the hype. The compact size makes it perfect for both storage and use inside a vehicle, and it's surprisingly lightweight. I have experienced no issues with water leaking, and the steamer produces a good amount of hot steam for effective cleaning. I have become a big fan of steam cleaning, whether it's around the house or in my vehicle. One important tip is to carefully follow the instructions on the type of water to use and to avoid overfilling, as this can lead to water sputtering out during use. I have owned this steamer for a few years now, and it's still going strong. The only components I have had to replace are the tip accessories, which is understandable considering how frequently I use it. Each fill provides around 30 minutes of continuous use, but there are larger options available for extended cleaning sessions. I happily recommend this steamer to others and would not hesitate to purchase another if needed in the future. ... show more
