McCulloch MC1275 Recommendations:

This product gets mixed reviews. A number of reviewers wrote that they were impressed with how the steamer worked and how clean and sanitized their homes were, and that the steam seemed to clean better than chemicals did. They also said they found tough to reach areas such as shower door tracks and crevices, were much easier and more effective to clean with the McCulloch 1275. The con’s with this machine is it does have to be refilled after about 50 min, and then has to reheat.

It’s also noisy, when steam comes out of the nozzle, it’s loud. Ear protection might be necessary.

One of the consumer’s wrote that this machine did not seem to put out very hot steam, and they weren’t satisfied with it.

The cleaner comes with a 12 foot cord, for outdoor use, you’ll definitely need an extension cord.

A common complaint seemed to be that the nylon brushes did not stand up to heavy scrubbing. If heavy scrubbing was required, the brushes broke down rapidly.

As long as you ready for a coffee break after about an hour on cleaning, this is probably a good machine for you. If you like to do your cleaning for hours on end, you might want to invest in a model that has a continuous clean system.
