McCulloch MC-1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner | Mop Head, Brushes, & More - Built for Home, Tile, Grout, Carpet, Furniture, & Personal Car Detailing

This machine electric specifications were not fit for this country it needs 120 volts not supplied in this country. It also needs 1500 wat our supply can't cope so I had to buy a transformer to fit this specification. which was not cheap (mine cost around £70). The delivery delays were appalling they kept shifting the dates and one of the texts said that the order has been lost and whether I should get my money back then it came after 2 days. Any way the machine arrived and it was fantastic in every way. So here are my advice fellow citizens of the UK if you are willing to pay extra for a transformer and wait a long time for delivery, but get a powerful machine then go ahead. i

Not suitable for UK. Yes we should have realised this before buying but it was not at all obvious as it was on a UK site

BEAWARE ! DON'T YOU BUY THIS OR ANY MCCULLOCH PRODUCT, I AM FACING A LOT OF PROBLEM, THEY WONT REPLACE THE MACHINE, THEY WONT ACCEPT THE RETURN AND REFUND AS WELL, THEY WONT REPLY YOU FOR YOUR MACHINE ISSUE. I PURCHASED A EXPENSIVE SCRAPE FROM MCCULLOCH. USED IT ONLY FOR 1 TIME AND IT IS NOT WORKING

Really neat steam cleaner BUT as a safety warning be cautious of letting the machine. cool off before adding water/ opening the reservoir. i had it explode and got burnt. as there is no warning indicator regarding pressure on this machine nor is there a pressure release valve from what i recall.. SO SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT YA'LL!

This is my first steamer of any kind, other than a clothes iron that is hand held. Ive seen infomercials for other stuff but curious about chemical free cleaning. This is a little "loud" but loud is relative. Its not any louder than a vaccuum, but yea its louder than using your hands to wipe something. It is also only loud when u squeeze the trigger not all the time while using it. I got about, on a full tank of water, 2 hrs+ And i didnt even use it all up. It was squeeze and steam, than wipe, and so on.. ot constant while squeegeeing or mopping with it. The book says 45 min of continuous use and i say NO way.. Now note - u dont have to pull the trigger full blast either for it to work. You can do different amounts of steam each time u pull. It also has an autolock so for mopping or etc u can lock it down. Packaging: Box of items came farely well packed. A little concern on how the hose could be inside, could be prone to kinks but all in all - well dont and items easy to open. Materials: Plastic from accessories are NICE. They look solid and feel solid. Sometimes companies provide thing guage cheap feeling plastic that either WILL break or just makes u be overly cautious for being afraid it will. None of these gives that impression at all. I feel these are pretty heavy duty and will even hold up against the abuse i am sure my wife will give it. The shiny plastic on the actual unit is nice and astheticlly pleasing to the eye BUT looks like could easily scratch. To me its a tool, not a Porsche so its fine. The power cord and tank to nozzel hose are REALLLLLLLLLLLY long. I mean when its plugged in to my kitchen in our townhouse i can walk to the front of the house and do some steam mopping.. Thats a good 30 feet?? Nice added bonus surprise. Performance: Blown away.. completely surprise. Little flap opens and unscrew a veryyyyy heavy duty bolt top. That is where the water goes in. Be sure to use the funnel like instructions say so water doesnt spill. It holds about 48+ oz of water. I have a paper towel around the funnel when pouring water just to make sure to catch any spill.. can go down into electronics. So fill it up, screw down TIGHT, and one button turn on. For a medium to small fill tank - maybe the 4-8minutes heatup informed by the owner manual is correct but NOT at all for the full tank. That took a bit more. But the heating mechanism i believe is a series of metal fins that are conducted with electiricty to heat. SO think heating up 2 gallons or so of water on a stove. ITS NOT GOING TO HEAT IN 4 MINUTES!!!!! So all the negative reviews "it doesnt heat in 5 minutes".... just think about it people sheesh.... Even when filled its still light weight. Accessories: NICE!! i couldnt believe how many they sent. seems kinda lame to label that "handle and nozzle holder" as an accessory. That must be a joke, right? I mean its actually PART of the unit u have to screen in. If anything, say the phillips screw driver they include for free as an accessory (it was a added perk and VERY nice quality driver). The squeegee worked OK. you have to make sure both front and back of of it are down so the channel of the steamer holes can trap steam in. the first lip is stiff and hits "soap scum or goop" on a window or wall, then steam channel, than rummer squeegee. I read others had issues, some didnt. Just learn a technique and you are good. The steamer mop is great. We have another stand alone steamer mop and it is just... not nearly as good. This steamer mop head swivels which the other doesnt, has a better groove set design where it steams from, is much hotter water, and over all a better performance. The little brushes- ive used the soft brush, the triangle brush, and the other.. they are OK. I mean id rather use the nozzle part and wipe or use a scotch brite sponge and do the job by hand than scrub with that thing.I havent tried it on the grill yet. Areas i cleaned which surprised me: The HVAC intake vent - its had years of just whatever stained on it. and its th slotted vent fins so an odd angle. Just was never on my to do paint list. This time i blasted it with steam and it all wiped right off... chemicals and other stuff have all failed! Faucets, the lip where the sink mounts to counter, parts of microwave and stove, and faucet heads themselves - it BLASTEDDDDDD out years of mildew (no our house isnt dirty, just normal buildup thats hard to get), lime, and grease just came right out. I even cleaned inside our stove and bam - sparkling! I am going to use one of the attachment heads for clothes but have not had the chance to. I will def come back on here and give an update review at a later date. Only downside.. and i mean only - is that sometimes the nozzle blasts a little water and not steam out. Is this my fault? I am wondering if it is because perhaps when i put the nozzle down it goes below the level of the tank and causes that bubble to move.... i wanna try to use it more and google to see what i can find. I strongly recommend this to anyone and this will be used just about every weekend if i can help it. I simply am AMAZED and have not written a review like this in a longggggg time. I will check back in a month or two to update this review. I have a good feeling i will be using this an aweful lot.

I've been using this for a few months now with zero issues. It replaced a smaller unit from a different brand that performed pretty well for a couple years then died. This is a HUGE improvement. The cord is longer so I can reach more places, the tank is much bigger so I can complete my cleaning on one fill. It has a variable steam setting which has been very useful. And the heated rubber tubing smells a lot less. It's just a better made, sturdier, more versatile unit in what is still a fairly compact package. I'm very happy with my purchase!

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).
