 "Steamer review" | 2008-10-07 |

| This is the second McCulloch Steamer that I have purchased and I have to say that this one has been cheapened up a LOT! The plastic holder will not stay in the slot, and the hose cannot be interchanged with other steamers (which is why I purchased another one in the first place). I'm very dissappointed in McCulloch, but I love the steamer machines. They make my cleaning so much easier! |

| I purchased this item in order to sanitize and deodorize a fairly large area of new carpet. My poor cat had eaten a portion of a plastic bag and got really sick. My Simon recovered and I got the "accident" out of the carpet, but I wanted to make certain that the carpet not only looked clean, but was clean. I had a small Hoover steam cleaner - but it wouldn't work. I read a couple of reviews, and I decided to order this item. It was easy to set up and to use. With so many attachments, there are all kinds of things I can clean and disinfect. I give it a 2 thumbs up. |

| 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.br /br /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.br /br /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! |

| 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.br /br /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. br /br /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. br /br /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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| The first tank of water I used in the machine was phenomenal cleaning power, but the 2nd tank lacked pizzaz. I left the machine for my father to use again (maybe I didn't let it rest long enough before the next use, etc) and he says it works just great for him, so, it's a winner and a keeper. Also, I really liked the variety of useful attachments and the machine's versatility. I have purchased and tried several other steam cleaners, one example, the shark, but the uses were too limited for my needs- and customer service returns were terrible-most other machines could not handle upright cleaning. This machine cleans the walls of showers, my heavy velvet curtains, tile floors, apolstery, and carpet floors and is not big and bulky. Small enough to take in my little Saturn car for travel to parent's house, powerful enough to provide impressive clean, and gentle enough that I don't worry about my clothes (just give it a little more space). And, it uses no chemical cleaning fluids, so it's safe to clean and let kids and pets back into cleaned area quickly--like within minutes of use. Neutralizes cat dander on velvet curtains well. Good value, best steamer I've tried so far. |

| Steamers are a great option for cleaning without chemicals. They are safe around children, pets, and are especially helpful for those with asthma/allergies. The McCulloch is a heavy-duty, fast working, high temperature steamer that loosens dirt quickly and easily for mop-up. Once the dirt is gone, the surface is sanitized! It's terrific, I love it. |

| This has been a great purchase. I relied on the other buyers reviews with how it cleaned tile grout which was our min purpose for the purchase and it is fantastic. We have tried every chemical cleaner we could get our hands on and none of them worked. The last person we contracted cost $300 and did the job but we now can do this on our own and the product has paid for itself twice over on its first purchase. |
