McCulloch Canister Steam Cleaner MC1375, 90 Minute Runtime, 20 Accessories, Jet Nozzle, Brushes, & More - Steam Cleaner for Home, Tile, Carpet, Furniture, & Personal Car Detailing

We initially ordered Mc1275. The 1275 we received has a effect. It burned out after 20 minutes of using. So I ordered a Mc1375 as a replacement. 1375’s ability of adjusting the steam volume is the initial attraction but after receiving not unit, it is clear that 1375 is a much better buy than 1275. The construction is much better with better attachments in addition to the ability of adjusting the steam volume. I used the machine very extensively for 2 days and it can keep the stream going for about 30-35 minutes with 48 oz of distill water. Unfortunately for us, the steam is hot but not hot enough to solve our fleas problem. I applied the steam 5 seconds on each spots hoping to get rid of fleas using the mop attachment. On carpet, it work decently, adult fleas are cooked after each steaming. But fleas eggs still around And we see fleas in the same spot the next day. 5 seconds is long enough for to kill adult fleas in our carpet and tiles in all our bathrooms and kitchen. MC1375 also are able to kill fleas larvae in the carpet and on our kitchen tiles (more reflective and hard surface). But it has problem with fleas larvae on the tiles in our master bathroom (the tile is much more softer tiles that absolve heat). MC 1375 was about to kill the Fleas eggs in our sofa set with 3 seconds of steam in each spot but it does not kill the eggs in the carpet nor on tile surface. I up the steaming time to 8 seconds for each spot and it still does not kill the fleas larvae in our master bathroom. The issue is probably heat dissipation difference between various type of tiles. The standard of steaming is moving the wand at 1 second per inch. I have not try steaming at that speed. It is pretty clear to me that for carpet (and we have pretty thick one), MC1375 is able to steam kill adult fleas and larvae. It kill adult fleas on all our tiles surface. It only kill larvae on some tile surface. MC 1375 can kill fleas eggs on furniture with concentrated stream of steam. It is not clear if it can kill any of the fleas eggs hiding in the carpet or on tiles surface. MC1375 is very versatile and work for most home application. Even though it does not solve our fleas problems, I think it is a good addition to the home cleaning equipment. Dupray neat steamer advertise a steam temperature of 275 degree F, and that will be our next steamer to try. In the mean time, I am controlling the fleas with the combination boric acid in the carpet + essential oil spray of cedarwood oil (4% and 12% variance) + 3% peppermint oil spray. The 4% cedarwood oil + 3% peppermint oil is good enough to kill adult fleas and fleas larvae on all surface but no dice on fleas eggs. It is not clear if the 12% cedarwood oil + 3% peppermint oil can kill fleas egg (I am hopeful since this is the concentration used by one of the commercial product and it seems to be very successful according to the raving review). Update 9/13/2020 - it dawn on me that I was silly trying to tackle a flea problem with steam cleaning. A big part of flea problem is their number after each successful generation and random location that flea eggs get dropped. A highly labor intensive approach like steam cleaning will never work in cleaning up a flea problem. Instead, I put my focus on ways to eliminate fleas with more broad coverage approach. I settle down with Diatomaceous earth + boric acid for carpet. Bleach (5 to 1 dilution) cleaning once + Diatomaceous earth for tiles floor. On area that I notice flea larvae activities, I vacuum daily (and replace the Diatomaceous earth +boric acid if it is carpet area. Bleach clean +replace Diatomaceous earth if it is on tiles floor). So far, the approach seem to work. I noticed at least 40-50 adult fleas and small larvae in the stuff that I vacuum up in the last 506 days. There are still a few area with larvae activities in the house and some adult fleas in my car. I ordered a few flea trap with 7W light and sticky pad that should help speed up the eradication effort (I hope).

This was the best investment I have made as an adult and I've been an adult for quite a while. This h the thing does EVERYTHING and easier than if I used cleaner and other items with just tap water and electricity. The tools are Amazing and make it versatile and convenient for any job. It seriously cleans better than anything I’ve ever used and is easy to maneuver and travel with. I love that there’s no streaks or marks after I’m done and everything is sparkles clean and SANITIZED without the nasty chemicals and ridiculous elbow grease. It is very efficient on water compared to other cheaper brands I’ve bought and has outlasted and out produced by FAR! It’s easy for me to handle on my own and vary up and down stairs. As a rental property owner and a home owner with dogs and a daycare worker this thing does it All for us. I would buy this over and over again without thinking twice. I was nervous about the purchase at first but I will never go back and never buy another brand.

I purchased this product to assist in an engine restoration / rebuild and I have to admit, I was almost expecting to be dissapointed in the machines ability to remove 30+ years of oil deposits and sludge. I am happy to say that I have been very impressed with how well this steamer works. (For an overall review of the steamer, skip to the second paragraph as I will detail how well it works on engine parts here first). Through trial and error, I found the best way to use the steamer on small engine parts (piston heads for example) is to secure the operating handle to a stationary object at a working height (I used duct tape to secure the handle to a lighting stand). The hose is plenty long enough to secure it at a standing or sitting height. Attach the jet-point nozzle to the end of the handle wand and select an appropriate detail wire brush for scrubbing (your own wire brush). When the unit reaches operating pressure, pull the trigger and activate the trigger lock, so you are hands free from the wand. You can now hold the engine part in one hand and the wire brush in the other (if you are smart you will wear rubber gloves, safety goggles and a respirator). Hold the steam directly onto the part in one specific spot for about 4 to 5 seconds before begining to scrub. Burnt oil deposits come off with only moderate pressure applied with the brush. The steam will run continuousy for about 40 minutes. Refilling and reheating to operating pressure takes only 15 minutes. Accessory attachments include a plastic scraper nozzle and bronze wire brush nozzle which are excellent for larger, flat items like a skid plate, oil pan, or frame rail. For smaller parts or those with a lot of contour, you will have to use the jet-point nozzle and your own wire brush, but it works like a champ. Much better than a parts washer and water-based solvents. You can order additional nozzles in 5 packs (bronze wire brush) which isn't a bad idea if you have a lot of large parts. In general, this steamer is a very well made product. It is compact, lightweight and has numerous useful attachments. I cannot state how important it is to read the instructions for the best results and to avoid damage to certain surfaces. The unit provides continuous steam for 40+ minutes at a temperature that cleans very effectively. There is no such thing as "dry" steam cleaning. Some manufacturers try to make that claim based on the fact that once a surface has been heated to the temperature of the steam, when the steam is removed the temperature of the surface itself will evapoate any remaining water vapor and the surface will feel dry; however, there will have been a reasonable amount of water vapor and condensation produced to get to that point, so the surrounding area will still be damp. Understand that when objects heat and cool condensation occurs, so there is no such thing as dry steam cleaning. Condensation also occurs inside the hose, wand and nozzle in between steam applications, so when the trigger is activated after an idle period, water will be expelled from the nozzle before the steam starts to flow. Direct this water into a sink, toliet, tub or bucket during cleaning (if you are using it outside, it probably doesn't matter). Use care if you are cleaning hardwood or faux-wood floors. A mistake on fabric or carpet usually just means it will be wet and have to dry out, on a wood floor this steam can warp or de-laminate surfaces if applied improperly - read the instructions. Despite the warnings - I bet that most people would love this steam cleaner and find many uses for it. I found it excellent for windows, bathrooms, kitchen areas and cleaning engine parts. My only knock on the design is that it does not carry its accessories well. There is a net provided to be placed on the end of the machine that I don't like - it isn't very useful, and the tote bag for the larger floor accessories is flimsy and unsecure; so my advice is to buy a plastic bin and keep the machine and accessories stored in it when not in use. Also, the stickers on the wheels fell off out of the box, but I didn't like them anyway. The McCulloch name is a sub of Vornado Air, which is a sub of Husqvarna, so I was hoping to see "Made in Canada" or "Made in Mexico" (there is no hope of seeing Made in USA, but I wanted to see anywhere but you know where), but alas, like everything else it is made in China.

I seriously don't know why I waited so long to get a steam cleaner...Talk about making cleaning tub & showers so much easier and no chemicals used so not coughing and trying to hold breath when cleaning. I used this in shower and in tub/shower combo and wow they both looked and felt so clean, felt zero soapscum anywhere when done. Only thing so far I dont like is the triangle brush and it's attachment (in photos) lasted about 10 mins of use till the larger piece fell off and then due to the brush bristles expanding and get a bit spread out wasn't able to reattach it to brush again..so fairly useless and now that part can't be used any more..McCulloch needs to figure this issue out, and no I was barley putting pressure on the brushes, so it's apparently a design flaw. Also I chose McCulloch after researching steam cleaners and this one kept showing at either #1 or #2 recommended on each one I checked. I'm happy with my purchase and can't wait to try it in the car!!! UPDATE: I've had this machine for 9 months now and very happy w/the purchase! PROS: Light enough weight, holds decent amount of water (definetly use Distilled as is recommended), good amount of useful attachments and 2 floor mop pads (which are machine washable), good length chord so you can just pull it around still plugged in easily when washing floors), has a lock button so you do not have to hold trigger entire time to get steam to flow, it's hot steam but NOT to the temperature you'll burn yourself if accidentally get hand infront of it briefly! The handle gets warmish but not where you can't hold it for a long time when doing big cleaning jobs (shower /tub). CONS: The triangle brush (pictured, sorry I just cleaned shower so it's dirty!!) I think needs a redesign, maybe a bit more bristles would be helpful instead of just one row and they squish and stay deformed after one use w/minimal pressure used (it still works though but could be better). There are no clips anywhere on machine to hold the powercord when stored which they should definetly add! And there us no way to know how much water is in the tank so can overflow it when filling (if empty I fill 3 of the included fill cup to almost top of cup and seems to fill the tank, it'd be nice if they added a water gage to let you know how much you have in tank. These are actually minor cons and I highly recommend! It definetly cleans soapscum & dirt from tub/shower w/minimal effort and so much better than using chemical cleaning products! Hint: run bathroom vent when doing showers if your bathroom is like mine & l have to have bathroom door shut to access shower, this gives lots of steam and does steam up bathroom! Definetly recommend and think it's a good price for quality of machine & all the accessories!

I picked up the McCulloch MC1375 mainly for personal car detailing, and it’s been awesome so far. The steam pressure is strong, it heats up quickly, and the tank lasts a long time — plenty for doing seats, carpets, and all the little cracks and trim pieces. The attachments are useful, and switching between them is simple. I’ve used it on a few interior jobs now and it pulls dirt out way better than I expected. Also works well around the house for floors and tough spots. Overall, really solid quality and definitely worth it if you want a dependable steam cleaner with a long run time.

I chose to give it a 5 star review because of how powerful this tool is compared to the market and its competition. I would chose McCulloch over all others unless i have a high budget for something more commercial. This is a great investment for anyone trying to clean the house, clean your car, clean your tools, clean your shoes, its does it all. I work in the automotive industry and i got this for myself, but i find myself bringing this tool to work everyday. I just put in it my trunk and drive off. Things i use this tool on are... Carpets in the car for stain removal + a dab of some carpet cleaner. (great for stains, gum, candy, anything sticky and hard to remove) I use it on leather seats with some Miguiars All Purpose Cleaner (1:10 mix) and it shines it like new! It used to take me a day or two to clean one car.... now it takes me just an hour or two to get everything! Including under the hood with all the grease and oil and the hard to reach places i dont normally get with a spray and swipe method with degreaser. It definately shortens my cleaning time and makes me more effective at getting cars ready for sale. Also around the home it works best! Immediately the first thing i cleaned was the bathroom!!! WOW. the toilet never looked/felt so clean! I mopped the floors with ease, fast and no more scrubbing with pinesol and warm water and buckets. Just one tool and power steam! Im in love.. with this machine. Oh and i spray and clean all the counter tops, all handles people touch, doors, walk ways, the ceiling, walls, glass, windows, faucets, and any corner with dark looking build up of dust, grime, and sticky stuff, just melts away! The business next door to us (auto detailer) noticed us using this steam machine and they immediately bought the older model 1275. This tool is top notch and is comparable to the higher quality models that cost over $1,000!! Before this came out, if i wanted to get the results i wanted, i would have to buy the $1,000+ tool in order to do what i need to do with quick and ease. I would give this tool 10/5 stars if i could. its worth the money 100%. I dont know about customer service yet because i have not needed anything replaced. I take care of what i use and how i use it. -Aaron, Illinois. Near chicago.

This is one of the best products I could have ever brought. It heats up fast and is easy to assembly. The steam comes out great and it takes all your stain and dirty problems away. It’s also a good size so it can fit anyway and out the way

I bought the canister steamer Model 1375 on Amazon and got it on Friday last. I set it up according to the instructions - kudos on the packaging and accessories - filled it with 36oz of water and waited for the gauge to get to the middle of the green indicator before I started using it, even though the manual says it's ready to go once it hits green. The pressure was set to full (which I realised after a bit of experimenting) and the strength coming out of the jet nozzle was pretty good. But it wasn't at all hot. Not even very warm. It was wet, but cool. I did a lot of research on home steamers and bought this one to sterilize surfaces in my home. I have a video I made of me steaming my hand to show just how cool and incapable of sterilization the 'steam' is (not included because reviews only allow one upload). I emailed this review as well as the video mentioned above to the company on Friday and they replied saying that the MC1375 is working properly, that it has to get to a minimum 212 degrees to start steaming and once the steam hits the air, it can feel cool to the touch. They went on to say that I'd need to work close to the surface of what I was cleaning. Colour me confused, but isn't steam supposed to be hotter than boiling water and burn you if you touch it for longer than a few seconds? I took another video of me blasting my hand with steam from the jet nozzle at an even closer range and this time the steam was warm/very warm, but this could have been because I filled the reservoir with hot tap water instead of cold. It's baffling to me that something that is supposed to be hot enough to sanitize surfaces can be touted by a customer rep as working properly and that steam can feel cool to the touch in the air...come on. This response just added insult to injury. I don't know if this is a common issue but I would appreciate some sort of solution, bearing in mind that it isn't economical for me to just return it, as I don't live in the states. Thanks!
