I've owned the McCulloch MC1385 Steamer for a few years now but the on/off switch keeps breaking on it (I've replaced it 3 times already--the switches are cheap but takes about an hour to take the machine apart and replace the switch) therefore I decided to look for another steamer and purchased a Dupray Neat Steamer. I've owned it about a month now and, so far, I am very pleased. My review will be a comparison based on the Mcculloch to the Dupray.
I've used both the Neat & McCulloch to detail my car,clean the grout in my kitchen, clean my floors and windows. I prefer using the Dupray to the McCulloch. It is easy to use and does a good job.
BTW, for those that need a new on/off switch search for "SPST Red Neon Light On/Off Round Rocker Switch 6A/250V 10A/125V AC" can find for about $1.00 each if purchasing in multiples (5 for $5 etc).
Comparison:
Steam: The Mcculloch claims to be a 4-bar steamer while the Dupray is a 3-bar (I believe). The amount of steam that comes out of the Dupray is stronger though. The steam on the Dupray seems a little less wet, too.
Attachments: The attachments on the Dupray are more solid and durable than the McCulloch.
Build: The Dupray seems more solid, the Mcculloch seems cheap. On/off button is solid on Dupray, flimsy on McCulloch
Design: The Dupray is a sleek design. Easy to fill water, low to ground -- its Neat! The Mcculloch is more traditional, but the wheels are useless and it has a tendency to tip over. The Mcculloch does have a pressure gauge and adjustable control on handle.
Company: Dupray has a 3 year warranty and lifetime warranty on boiler, McCulloch had a 1 year warranty if I recall correctly. Also, Dupray is a company that will give better customer service as well as a company which specializes in steam cleaning equipment.
I am giving the Dupray 5 stars. It is a solid machine, with solid attachments, a nice design, produces a lot of steam and is a good deal at the current price. In comparison, I would give the McCulloch 3 stars.

I recently cleaned the interior of a very dirty Ford Escape. Dirt, grime, dust... It was bad. The MC1385 tore thru it, sanitizing everything and getting rid of the awful odors. It left the interior clean and fresh smelling. Best of all, using steam verses chemicals won't leave you with that nasty odor that cleaners leave behind, which just mask the smells and don't really get rid of them. See pics below.
If you're on the fence about the price, spend the money and get something that is well made and has attachments for just about anything you need to clean. It's a purchase you won't regret, making cleaning easier and even a bit fun, if there is such a thing.
The dislikes: as much as I love this, there are a few things that bug me, but I've found a workaround:
Attachments: a bag comes with its, and there are several small attachments that can easily get lost. Buy one of those clear plastic zip storage bags, and you will keep everything together. The standard bag is a reusable shopping style bag that does closes with a tiny piece of Velcro.
Warm up: this takes about 15 minutes. Ive found to let the steam warm, squeeze the trigger a few time to get the water running thru the machine, and then let the steam build up for about five minute. Then, go at it. To make life easier, use a plastic funnel to fill the tank, it's almost impossible to fill using the little cup that comes with it.
These are just little quirks of mine, certainty not reasons to avoid buying. More like suggestions for making this machine even better. Get over the price and buy something you will find a million uses for, and isn't some under powered "puff and clean" machine like some that you see listed. You won't regret the investment. I love this machine and I know it has saved me a ton of time, effort, and aggravation. I don't know how I went without it.

Hands down the BEST purchase I've made!
By Madea on June 21, 2015
I do auto detailing on the side, and use the MC1385 regularly. What I love about this is that unlike the old "spray and wipe" methods of cleaning, you steam an area, and within seconds, the dirt and grime simply loosen up and is easily wiped with a microfiber towel. No making multiple passes, respraying, none of that. Using this, I'm able to clean dirty, oily door jams, door sills, door panels, fabric, dashboards, and consoles. It removes stubborn scuff marks from the dash and doors that would be impossible to scrub off.By Madea on June 21, 2015
