Review of McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner
My dad had one of those Euro Steamer’s, and was looking fondly at that “other” handheld they put on TV all the time.Problem is they are junk.What are you going to do with about 5 minutes of steam anyway!?His birthday was coming up, so I got him this one.I have to say it was even more impressive than the description.Not only do they have all the attachments of the handheld (and perhaps more), they are well made attachments not the cheap, plastic, ill-fitting, junk you get with the handheld.
For instance, the extensions, heavy gauge hard plastic with double o-ring seals where they connect.They fit together solid, and would be hard to break, even if you stepped on them by accident.My dads Euro Steamer broke the tip off it when he turned in a doorway.This stuff is definitely not that fragile.The connectors to the steam hose and the steam gun are just as well made, if not better. They combine metal fittings with rugged plastic parts, and solid sealing o-rings.
About those attachments, they include a concentrator with a round brush on the head, and six different brushes to choose from. Some are nylon of various sizes, and one is a brass brush for the tough surfaces.They have a corner brush, a window cleaner with steam squeegee, an attachment for the extension pieces that steam-mops floors, and a round scrubber attachment.It also came with a 16 ounce measuring cup and a funnel for filling.Outside of the attachments, there is one mounting handle to attach to the unit. It attaches to the body with an included, machine screw.They even include a foot long, toolbox quality, Phillips head screwdriver with the package, to put in the single assembly screw, nice touch!
What about steam you ask?Well I laugh my head off at seeing those oilcan looking things on TV put out that thick steam in the commercial.You have to let those things get heated up fully, and that big plume you see on the demo lasts about a minute at most.I wouldn’t be surprised if they connected a hidden steam hose to demo those junky things.Not so, with the McCullock, with a full tank you get close to an hour worth of solid, cleaning steam.The gun is the most fun to use, be careful not to get your face too close to the work, because the steam blowback is hot! The glass tool really did work on the shower glass. I’ve not tried them all, but since it’s the steam that does the real work.The attachments all pass on solid construction alone.
One of the main reasons we got a steamer, is because you can clean and kill germs without chemicals.Our pet poodle Sandy is a bit too curious when licking up spills, so using chemical cleaners can be dangerous around him.Moreover, antibiotic cleaners are under fire by health officials for their potential of creating super-bugs. If just one of the bacteria survives the antibiotic cleaner, it will be antibiotic resistant! It can return as a bacteria colony that no longer is affected by the cleanser!Steam cleaning is just as anti-septic, and it doesn’t create resistant strains of germs!
