Tools and Hardware Reviews of McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner
Customer Review: A moderate performer... do your research.
Summary: 2 Stars
You'll be surprised at how much easier it is to clean your home with a vapor steam cleaner, although this McCulloch is not one I'd recommend. The problem with the McCulloch is that it has a flimsy 1.4 liter aluminum boiler with a 90-day warranty. You want a larger boiler so that you don't have to stop to refill and reheat while cleaning. And 90 days is a really short warranty. The better vapor steam cleaners have a durable 2-liter stainless steel boiler with a 3-year warranty. It took a while to figure all this out but if you go to the Vapor Learning Center at 1800GOVAPOR DOT COM where I got a stylish red one after returning this McCulloch, you'll learn all there is to learn about these gems. For example, you want more pressure than the 35 PSI offered by the McCulloch. 58 PSI is more like it. And to effectively sanitize you need more than the 250 degree heat of the McCulloch. The better vapor steam cleaners reach about 320 degrees. There's a blue model which features a continuous supply of super heated vapor but you don't need that unless you'll be cleaning all day. The red one is plenty sufficient to keep everything in your home sparkling like new.Customer Review: A new level of clean
Summary: 5 Stars
This machine is addictive. I've already used it for five hours after it arrived today. The construction and user manual are impressive for ease of use and durability. I would agree with others that the brush attachments quickly wear out. Be forewarned, also, that the steamer is NOT magic. If you try to clean something with caked on, dried up years of grease and gunk, it will require much elbow grease. Still, I think it will help clean things you didn't think you could ever get clean, for example, the inside of a toaster oven. I was able to clean the bathroom without reeking of bleach or getting a buzz from chemicals --- highly worth the money.Customer Review: A wonderful steamer

A great steamer. I make sure to use distilled water in it.
I have no problems.....well, sometimes I find myself refilling and cleaning more stuff. I guess if that's the only problem I have then that is just fine with me.
Customer Review: Absolutely beyond anything I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product based on other reviews to assist in a crisis cleanup situation in a large apartment. I was able to clean all the appliances, steam the walls, floors and clean the windows in record time. This was absolutely beyond any expectation I had. Steaming drapes, featherbeds and pillows made for special freshness one could not get any other way. Buy it!!!
Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the steam cleaner to be all that it was advertised to be with one little exception. Some of the attachments (brushes and scrub pads) simply didn't last beyond one or two uses. In the case of the scouring pad, the glue that was holding it to the plastic attachment simply melted with the use of the steam.
The larger attachments and brushes work fine and are very useful. The machine generates a generous amount of steam and was able to clean the grimiest messes with just a little bit of elbow grease. My first use was to scrub a kitchen floor that hadn't been scrubbed in over fifteen years. All it had known was a wet mopping once a week. Over the years, the dirt had embedded itself in the linoleum. With a little diluted bleach and the steam cleaner, the floor now sparkles. The glass enclosure on the shower sparkles as well.
I am well satisfied with the performance of the steam cleaner. I just wish the handy smaller attachments lasted a little longer.
