McCulloch MC1235 1300-Watt Handheld Steam Cleaner,
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!

|Best money ever spent on a cleaning tool,
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.

|love it!,
Bought this on Amazon, after seeing it demonstrated and sold out on a “premier shopping channel” on t.v. I primarily got it to assist with cleaning window sills, bathroom faucets (we live in the Pacific Northwest where mold can creep up very quickly) and the like. I also liked the idea of not using harsh chemicals to clean and liked the benefit of reduced allergens. So far, I’ve used it to clean bathrooms and LOVE it (although it doesn’t clean toilets as well as I’d like). Just be aware that it works like a mini pressure washer and that you need to move slower than anticipated and close to the grime (I put the cleaner in one hand and wiped up with a towel in the other). My only complaint is that the water reserve is small which necessitates filling often (and no, you do not need to use distilled water–tap water works fine). For the price, it will pay for itself because I don’t have to purchase as many cleaning products. I am anxious to try on the refrigerator, and to steam wrinkles out of clothes. A good buy in my book!
