Great all around machine that will clean almost any (hard) surface, a few pros and cons

This is a great little machine. It was incredibly easy to assemble, and that's considering that I am not mechanically inclined at all. I can't even assemble things from Ikea. I had this put together in a minute or maybe two. It was very well packaged, too. I really love the steam control that lets me adjust how much steam I want to come blasting out of it. Don't get your face too close if you turn it all of the way up! We've been struggling to keep our grout clean for quite some time. The tile throughout our home has a beautiful bevel and wide grout lines. With giant breed dogs, lots of kids, and 6000 square feet to maintain, we can never keep all of the grout looking nice. With the beveled edge on the tile, the grout sits well below the tile, which means mopping doesn't really get it clean. We've tried the Bissel steam mop, which works great but takes quite a bit of time because you have to let it sit in places where the dirt has really caked onto the grout. We've used Magic Eraser sponges, which also work but take even more time and effort. A couple of times a month, we'll gather the entire family, hand them all magic eraser sponges, and we have a little grout cleaning party. However, with this steamer, in about 30 seconds with one of the little brass scrubbers, I had the grout around 3 tiles completely back to new. The entire family gathered around and cheered because we are going to be spending a lot less time maintaining our grout. I'll put it into the daily chore rotation so that someone does a bit of grout every day, and I think we can successfully keep it clean throughout the entire house. I also tried this on the sliding glass door, and it worked surprisingly well. To be honest, I didn't expect this to work well on glass. I used the mop to clean a couple of tile walls, and it was quick and super easy. Now, for the cons. The very light weight of the mop head is both a pro and a con. It's absolutely great for floors that don't need any scrubbing, tiled shower walls, tiled bathroom walls, basically any vertical surface that you can imagine using a steamer mop to clean. Your arms won't get tired because it's so lightweight. It's great on floors that don't need to be heavily scrubbed. But the Bissel, which has the water tank in the mop stick, does better for scrubbing a large area of floor due to its weight because it's not just gliding over the floor. Unfortunately, that means with the Bissel that your back will also hurt more, and you'll get tired much more quickly. Now, all that said, this steamer does come with a floor scrubbing attachment (not the scrubbing pad but an actual scrubber that you use instead of the pads), and that seems to work better for scrubbing, and then you can go back over the area with one of the mop pads. Doing it this way is very efficient and a bit quicker than using the heavier Bissel, but it is a two step process, and it felt like it took longer (probably because it was a two step process) until I looked at the time and realized it had been quicker.

Comparison with my Bissell 19404 PowerFresh Mop

I'm going to start out by saying three months ago I purchased a Bissell 19404 PowerFresh Pet Steam Mop for $89. That unit heats up within two minutes, and is very light weight. I used it weekly and really enjoyed how quickly the tile floors shone. Prepare the floor with a thorough job sweeping, and the microfiber cloth mop head will pick up the stuck-on food. Perhaps you have bits of dried-on soup, or squash, or tomato sauce or whatever it is that your toddler ate five minutes before you absolutely had to leave the house. The Bissell does that job. There is a drawback to the light weight, less expensive model. Every time I got to the toilets (we have three) I got kind of annoyed. The Bisssell is not designed to sneak into the narrow area behind the toilet, so I steamed both sides, got down on my hands and knees, and used a microfiber cloth to scrub out a few spots. As it is with both models the steam will loosen grime, but you need the micro fiber cloth to lift it away. We have a two year old, are using cloth diapers, and he is getting potty trained. I feel pretty strongly that I want a sanitary bathroom that does not smell and just is, well, hygienic. Hence my research for a more powerful solution around the toilets and tub. After two months I will post pictures and update this review (if I get around to it). I should have taken "before" shots. (a) If you have scrubbed where the faucet meets the porcelain and have just not removed the crud in five years, the steam will loosen it. Break out your old toothbrush, voila! (b) If you want to steam your tub and have a fair amount of microfiber cloths at your disposal you are in serious luck. Put on that triangle attachment, fold it around the brush and do the perimeter (the river the rubber ducky swims on), the sides, and the base. At some point I'm going to find a mechanism to keep the cloth on better. (c) Again with that triangle attachment, place a cloth just under the toilet rim, and steam right up against the rim. Leave it there for fifteen seconds, then scrub. I think this is what makes this machine the most worthwhile. Some chemical products have an angled spout to spray chemicals up under the rim. That just does not work as well. (d) If you use sealing wax on the bathroom counter and accidentally drop a couple of huge drops, there is nothing that take that sealing wax off except steam. Seriously. (e) I saw a video where you can use this on your stove so during another nap time I might get to that. (f) It is more ecologically friendly than chemicals. Drawbacks: (a) Takes about fifteen minutes to get up to temperature if you put 48 ounces of water in. (It holds 64.) (b) There is no gauge to show you the water level. (c) Obviously it is heavier than the Bissell. I'll just leave this upstairs and use the lightweight one in the kitchen and laundry room If there are other drawbacks I will come back and edit.

You too can turn a ho into a housewife

Are you a basic b1ch or know one who spends all their time complaining? Look no further. This bad boy is the perfect gift for any millennial to feel good while they work. Fill with water and wait 15 minutes (ugh I know right? That's like, forever and eternity). Then get to spraying steam on literally every surface in your house(kitchen, microwave, counter tops, oven, refrigerator, bathroom, sinks, toilets, showers, bathtub, grout, floor, tile, bedroom, mattresses, carpets, light fixtures and many many more) . The possibilities are endless. When you are done you've turned that trap house into a palace. Even the most basic of b1ch3s can "even". It's so simple and with many accessories. Takes care of deep stains and grime quickly, leaving plenty of time to go shopping at zephora and American eagle to get your eyebrows on fleek and a brand new set of ugg boots so you can make your appointment at Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte with skim milk and no straw(gotta like, save the sea animals Ya know?). Bottom line is this thing is versatile and super easy to use. 2 hours of continuous steam and makes up for 8 hours of regular cleaning. Highly recommended.

Hands down the BEST purchase I've made!

I do auto detailing on the side, and use the MC1385 regularly. What I love about this is that unlike the old "spray and wipe" methods of cleaning, you steam an area, and within seconds, the dirt and grime simply loosen up and is easily wiped with a microfiber towel. No making multiple passes, respraying, none of that. Using this, I'm able to clean dirty, oily door jams, door sills, door panels, fabric, dashboards, and consoles. It removes stubborn scuff marks from the dash and doors that would be impossible to scrub off. I recently cleaned the interior of a very dirty Ford Escape. Dirt, grime, dust... It was bad. The MC1385 tore thru it, sanitizing everything and getting rid of the awful odors. It left the interior clean and fresh smelling. Best of all, using steam verses chemicals won't leave you with that nasty odor that cleaners leave behind, which just mask the smells and don't really get rid of them. See pics below. If you're on the fence about the price, spend the money and get something that is well made and has attachments for just about anything you need to clean. It's a purchase you won't regret, making cleaning easier and even a bit fun, if there is such a thing. The dislikes: as much as I love this, there are a few things that bug me, but I've found a workaround: Attachments: a bag comes with its, and there are several small attachments that can easily get lost. Buy one of those clear plastic zip storage bags, and you will keep everything together. The standard bag is a reusable shopping style bag that does closes with a tiny piece of Velcro. Warm up: this takes about 15 minutes. Ive found to let the steam warm, squeeze the trigger a few time to get the water running thru the machine, and then let the steam build up for about five minute. Then, go at it. To make life easier, use a plastic funnel to fill the tank, it's almost impossible to fill using the little cup that comes with it. These are just little quirks of mine, certainty not reasons to avoid buying. More like suggestions for making this machine even better. Get over the price and buy something you will find a million uses for, and isn't some under powered "puff and clean" machine like some that you see listed. You won't regret the investment. I love this machine and I know it has saved me a ton of time, effort, and aggravation. I don't know how I went without it.

NOW this is Cleaning!

I still love this product, but it has one big weakness. This is my third order. The first two developed dripping at the trigger. Each time however Amazon - Square trade backed the warranty. This last time I hadn’t used it for a while. I live in the tropics and bigs abound. This product kept me spider free. During the time that the scalding leak developed the spiders took over. A brown recluse found its way to my bed and bit me in the crook of my arm. After an emergency room visit, last week I accelerated my purchase of another and the warranty. SquareTrade offered great service so I hope the third purchase is a charm. I follow directions to the tea and use only distilled water, but both times the trigger dripping scalding water made it unsafe to use. I hope McCulloch deals with this issue, because it is the easiest and most effective tool for cleaning and insect abatement. I love the tools and the length of the cord, and the extended cleaning time. The spider bite I can do without. I used hot water today on my bathroom window which are Jealousy windows and disturbed a nest of the nasty creatures. But I made a mess with the shower head when I freaked out when they scattered. They are dead now, but I want my McCulloch back. I will never clean again with chemicals. Sensitivities are gone. I am on my second (third one just ordered) one. The first one did not last as long as I expected, but amazon refunded the money, and I am still loving this. I clean everything, kitchen top to bottom, baths, carpet, porch. Kills everything! I steam the decks, the walls, the tile, and you should see my windows and the frames and don't forget all those nooks and crannies on the toilets! I clean the screens, I steam the pillows, I would steam myself if it wasn't so hot!! Spectacular! No fumes no fuss no muss, no red swollen hands or chemical burning in my eyes and nose! The BIGGEST advantage is that it takes far less time to clean and all you have to do is wash the rags you use to wipe! I can blast through 2300 Sq feet in 4 hours that is with 3 baths!

Oh yes, it steams!!

Optimum (NR2010Q) No Rinse Wash & Shine - 32 oz.I recently started a detailing business, and added this little number to my cleaning arsenal. Hype is the word I kept thinking of as I have never used "steam" for cleaning. It was always strong chemical cleaners, liberally applied to do the job. That was lots of work with caustic (and maybe toxic) materials. So, I bought this at a discount from the Amazon warehouse; it had been "used", at least once. These little boilers calcify quickly, and this used one showed signs of that around the water input opening. I use only distilled water (no minerals to calcify!) with Optimum No Rinse in a 256:1 dilution to the tank. (That dilution is 1/2 oz per gallon of water). The ONR helps break down the calcium buildup and actually boosts the steam's cleaning power. The calcium buildup is gone, and it steams like a locomotive!! The efficiency of this mode of cleaning is (I hate to use this adjective) amazing!I The ONR is a natural product, with no chemicals, so it only enhances the results and my overall health. It also leaves no residue behind, so it's awesome for anyone with allergic reactions. I have been using it regularly for three months and have great success removing all types of gunk and dried grime from many car/suv/truck interiors! Carpets, seats, dashboards, door jambs, all have been cleaned, using the proper precautions of course! (check Youtube for all the tutorials) *I have added before-and-after pics of my most recent interior detail: the steering wheel had several years' buildup of hand cream, sweat and body oils. The steamer liquified it all, and I wiped it all up, without using a single hazardous chemical. * This has proven the be the best "bang for the buck" so far in my detailing tool chest. **Remember that when you use a microfiber cloth over any of the extension heads, the steam will ruin the microfiber's absorption abilities (they don't like heat!) so use a dedicated set of MF just for the steam application and wipe up. I HIGHLY recommend using microfiber from The Rag Company-- it is the best and that's that!! If you haven't cleaned with steam (and a dose of ONR), you will be as surprised, pleased, and satisfied as I have been with the results you get from this machine!

Performs as it should - Don't get caught up in the reviews

For some reason, this steamer has a few negative reviews that I think distort the overall cleaning potential it has. Whether some users don't use this properly or just don't work their stains/dirt long enough, I have no idea. I use it as an interior cleaning method in automotive detailing and it more than performs - it really impresses for the price point. I also own an $800 steamer that I am now kicking myself for purchasing - I could have had 4 of these instead. I'll go ahead and describe how I use it and how it performs in each area. First, I fill it with DISTILLED water only (prevents mineral build up in the boiler than can ultimately shorten the lifespan of the machine). I then plug it in and let it sit for about 10-15min and complete another task while doing so. I also use that time to pre-treat the carpets, leather or other materials with an appropriate interior cleaner. After the wait has subsided, the machine will be sitting around 4-bar pressure (60PSI). Yes, this machine does drop to around 30PSI when you're actually steaming, but so does my $800 machine. All steamers lose some pressure when the trigger is pulled. However, I find 30PSI more than enough power in most cases, especially on leather, vents and switches. This thing also gets HOT. Yes, it does have a long hose and the steam cools a bit before reaching the nozzle, but it is PLENTY hot enough to extract dirt and stains. I can even easily clean engines and wheels with this thing if need be due to the balance of heat and humidity it provides. I wrap a terry-cloth or microfiber towel around the triangle head to clean carpet, headliners and leather to make sure dirt is picked up instead of simply heated and scrubbed around the material. It WILL extract even the toughest, oldest stains from carpets and leather. It WILL kill smoke smell if used properly and carefully on headliners. I was skeptical that a $200 machine could perform well enough to complete rigorous detailing jobs and satisfy my case of OCD, but I can happily report that there are no performance issues with this model. Don't get too caught up in the reviews, it will more than likely do any job short of industrial cleaning and do it very well. This is one of the best investments in tools that I've made in a while.

Awesome

Was gonna pay to detail my car what hasn't been cleaned in 13 years, or at least since I bought it 4 years ago anyway. I got this instead and rather had fun for 4 hours, and got it just as clean as the professionals would have done, for not much more money, if I do my car again I break even, and that's not to mention having a steam mop for weekly use, finally cleaned in and around the oven, bathroom and so on. Works great, you can turn the steam on and off, control volume, etc. I used it for 4 hours before I ran out of steam (ha, pun), but it says 90 minutes of actual steam output and that's probably right. The sponges are trash and the squeegie was a total disappointment (but that may appliy to squeegies in general as opposed to wet rage/dry rag method for glass), the scraper is rubbish compared to getting a putty knife and just using the jet stream seperately . .. there are uses for a ABS plastic scraper (like, say, a sticker that won't come off), but get a putty knife for grease and stuff. I love this thing.

very versitile - highly effective

There's not much I can add to what has already been stated in reviews. I was on the fence deciding this model, or a lower model. I'm new to steam cleaning, so was hoping that, whatever decision I made, I get the most bang for the buck. I have to say, I'm very pleased with the MC 1385's performance. It made short work of an old, dusty, grease covered floor fan that was stored in a shed for several years. It easily loosened up the grime, allowing me to wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. The fan looks as good as new, and is now in use - saving the cost of a new fan ($35). Next, I cleaned two "top entrance" enclosed cat boxes that are 3 years old. Every couple of months I do a complete chemical cleaning, but they were starting to look a bit "overused". Everything simply melted under the round scrubber, and wiped away with paper towels. It was honestly the easiest deep cleaning ever. They look, and smell like new - and are perfectly sanitized. Not buying new boxes saved roughly ($70). I also cleaned and sanitized the kitchen trash can. I then changed scrubbers to tackle my biggest challenge; a drop-in counter-top glass stove. Anyone that has one of these knows that yellow gunky grease accumulates around the underside lip. I pried up the stove-top, and blasted the granite counter top and glass with hot steam. What used to require scrapers, degreasers, and lots of elbow grease, simply melted away leaving an ultra clean surface. I also steamed some door handles, which now sparkle. So far, best investment I've made of this kind.

This is a great little steam cleaner for the money

This is a great little steam cleaner for the money. I've used it more than once now on our laminate floors. Here's what I found out though. You have to follow up with a damp mop to take up the dirty water that is produced after running across the floor with this steamer. The steam will get up all the dirt better than just damp mopping which we used to do. I saw a definate improvemet the first time I used this on the floor. I also tried it on the shower walls but there was so much calcium deposit from the year's use that I had to go over with Comet cleanser. I'd say that steam cleaning the shower would be good for a quick cleaning but a monthly good old scrubbing with Comet will work best and keep the mold at bay. Update: Sept. 20, 2016 - I took this steam cleaner out for thorough floor cleaning yesterday and the mop head broke on me. This would have been maybe the 3rd or 4th time that I've used this cleaner since my purchase on February 23, 2014. I noticed that the steam was not coming through the microfiber pad but it was coming up and out of where the end of the handle with the ball joint connects to the mop head. It also changed the usual sound that it would make. I could tell something was wrong and after realizing that it was not doing a job of cleaning I got out my power screwdriver and went to work. I unscrewed the six or eight Philips screws and took the bottom off the mop head. I had heard something rattling around before I took the head apart. When I separated the two components a rusted piece of metal fell out on the floor. Upon inspection I found that there was a small wire clamp that secures the white surgical rubber hose to the mop head and ball joint handle combination that had rusted away and now the hose was left flopping around inside the mop head. I put everything back together and put the cleaner away in the spare bedroom for now. I then dug out the manual in a folder I had made up in the filing cabinet. In it there is their website, mccullochsteam.com, where I was able to register my product and order a new mop head for a reasonable price of $14.99 plus $4.99 shipping, or maybe it was $6.99. There was no way to print the order invoice. Now, I just wait 4-7 business days for UPS delivery. A suggestion to McCullough would be to use stainless steel ring clamps in the future to make this a grade A product. Their website does offer a scheduling to send you accessories on a regular basis though. I hope to find more uses for this little beauty and post more on this review as I do. Oh, I notice now that I can add photos or video. I will take the time to get a photo of the busted hose and post here so you can check out the quality yourself. I don't know of any other company that offers a machine like this one and with the quality that is built in other than this ring clamp problem.
