McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner,
By
This review is from: McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I purchased my McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner last year from [...], and I have loved it ever since! I use this great tool to clean automotive door / wall panels, engines, carpet, upholstery, and also household items such as microwaves, toaster ovens, vacuums and such. I have owned other steam cleaners in the past and gotten mixed results (from exploding boilers to no steam out of the box), but I am finally satisfied with the reliable performance and great customer service of McCulloch and SteamFast (manufacturer). When un-boxed, the vibrant yellow steam cleaner has grey accents and a high grade feel to the plastics used in its manufacture. I really like the refillable water tank, and also the eight minutes of steam you get with that container. Other brands of steam cleaners hold enough water to make less than five minutes of steam, and call for you to allow the unit to cool before refilling. With the McCulloch steam cleaner, you don't need to let it cool; just pour 8 oz of tap water into the reservoir and go!
There are some pros and cons with the cleaner I should mention: Pros: quick-refilling reservoir high-powered steam lots of useful tools adjustable steam output quick warm-up time compact size Cons: loud water pump (as indicated by other reviews) poor quality switches / reservoir cap unit gets hot after extended use As you can see, the pros outnumber the cons. The water pump is loud, but that is the trade off for having the amazing variable steam output switch... Speaking of that switch, you have to play with it to get the steam to come out "full power" as the quality of that particular switch is sub-par. This problem doesn't seem to extend to the steam switch, but I will update if anything happens. The reservoir cap is held on with two minute tabs less than 5mm long. I had to call the manufacturer to get a new one out of warranty (it broke 1 year 3 months of course ;D) but they were very helpful in sending me the correct part for a low price of less than ten dollars. The unit DOES get hot on the top and near both ends after long uses, but I always have it plugged in for at least 45 minutes when I clean so that may be part of it... Overall, I love it for what I use it for, and it beats purchasing chemicals all the time to clean everything. I hope my review will help make the decision to choose this steam cleaner over the inferior "infomercial" models... Thanks, and enjoy your new steam cleaner! Alec

For People with Perfectionist Tendencies or OCD,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I am a perfectionist and you know what that means. Having said that, I drive people nuts with my standards for measuring a clean home. I have used every cleaning agent available on earth. I've even considered acid and thank God my reason prevailed.
Now to the amazement of my family and friends, I use my steamer exclusively (and white vinegar)--no, you can't put white vinegar in the machine. You only need water, but I use bottled water because of the level of minerals in our water. I use my machine everywhere: bathrooms, kitchen, wood crevices, floors, vents, window blinds, mirrors, garbage cans, white residue on rocks (!), appliances, especially appliances. I also use it for my car, especially to clean the wheels. Most of the time, I take it to the car wash, but it is never quite right so I use my machine to finish the job. I call it completed staff work. Everybody is so grateful because when they visit me they are not bombarded with the odors of cleaning chemicals. I was wondering what made me sneeze so much. And I don't have to wear those special gloves. I hope this is helpful. I guess I have gone Green without knowing it. Cheers!

Best money ever spent on a cleaning tool,
This review is from: McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)
I love my steam cleaner gun! It's fantastic for cleaning off grease and grime from engine bays, suspension parts, undercarriages, tractor pins and just about anything with caked on nasty yuck. I've never had a problem with mine and I use it regularly in the garage or barn. No more nasty, harsh, hazardous chemicals for me when it comes to removing grease makes this one of my favorite cleaning tools. Works fairly well on hardened cosmoline even.
