Heavy Duty is a misnomer September 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Great packaging and sleek design. Easy to put together and put in use. Takes 15 minutes to get up to "steam". My "steam" wasn't hot enough to burn your hand. More like hot tap water. It dribbles or slobbers water residue everywhere. Won't remove simple grease smears off a granite counter top. Most of the cleaning effort comes from your elbow power scrubbing with the tip brush. I'm better off using a brush and Soft Scrub to clean my tiles.

I certainly don't want to completely "dis" McCulloch. Their distributor was very helpful in the return of my first machine which arrived with a broken reservoir. Prompt and courteous customer service. Likewise, Amazon was great service in getting the second machine to me. they also were great in sending a UPS pickup tab to return the machines and in refunding my money.

My advice is simple....you get what you pay for. You can't expect much work out of a $100 machine. I think you may need to spend at least $800 on a real heavy duty consumer unit to get real steam, pressure and continuous fill twin resevoirs. You don't want the hassle of waiting for the unit to cool down before you can refill and reheat for extended work sessions. A true steam cleaner should clean with little or no scrubbing with a brush!

Not a miracle, but still pretty handy. September 19, 2008

I had seen the cheap steamers on TV late at night and that made me want to get one. However I had no interest in an 'as seen on tv' product so I looked on line. The steamer was the right price and the other reviews were pretty favorable so I chose this one.

The thing that I found out pretty quickly is that if you don't clean your bathtub for a year, and then expect this steamer to blow away the mess, you're going to be dissapointed.

However, the thing that I now use it most for is the removal of a spot from the carpet, or in some cases a muddy footprint. I bought it right before we moved and on the move in day a couple of muddy footprints were left on the carpet. With the use of this steamer and a rag I had them gone in about 2 minutes! I've also used the squeagie attatchment to clean mirrors, and the floor attatchment and extension arms to clean my kitchen floor.

All in all, I'm glad I have this steamer and it will help me to keep my apartment clean so no massive dirtiness can pile up.

What else can I say??? IT CLEANS GROUT!!! September 18, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

There is nothing else I could add to the reviews written by "Meanwhile" and "Magnus Opus" about how well this machine works other than to say that it thoroughly cleans grout. I have porcelein tile on my kitchen floor and have not had the grout look this new since a month after the floor was put in. I have 4 kids, 3 dogs and a lot of floor traffic through the kitchen. I always assumed that the floor would need to be regrouted because of the discoloration, but NO!! I just steamed the dirty area for 5 seconds, then used the brush to scrub the dirt out. I am very chemically-sensitive so I was interested in finding ways to clean thoroughly but with no chemicals. Yes, you do need to scrub. Yes, you do need to spend time cleaning. But I believe it can do a great job on certain cleaning projects. My bathroom does not smell like pee anymore because the pressurized steam gets all the gunk out from under the holding tank and toilet, and anywhere else little boys spray. It really does a good job and I'm glad I spent the money on the higher end machine as opposed to the H20 mop. My sister in law loves her H20 mop, but she does not have kids or pets tracking in dirt, mud, grass, etc. If your family is like mine, this machine is a good choice.

Consumer Reports was right! September 16, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'd ordered a 400 dollar steam cleaner which didn't arrive on time. My husband checked the consumer magazine which recommended this McCulloch, and I ordered it from Amazon.com who could ship it overnight. Later, when I finally received the more expensive one, I had a chance to compare them, and the McCulloch is everything the other one is and MORE! I sent the expensive one back and kept my McCulloch.

McCulloch - 1275 September 9, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful

I hated this product. I am returning it because it is not hot enough and it spits water. I tried it on soap scum, toilet rust, water sediment around the sink and it did not clean any of them. It was very loud; it actually hurt my ears and impaired my hearing for a few hours after using it. I don't even give this product a star rating, because it doesn't even rate one star. Funny, this page would not let me submit my response without giving it at least one star so I must, but only because I have to.
