However, if you’re trying to clean a very dirty space or surface, you might be frustrated by the lack of stamina this product has.Īdditionally, if you don’t have much storage space, the various parts and pieces may be a deterrent. If you use this product regularly and don’t allow too much dirt and grime to build up between cleans, it should be reliable and efficient. The McCulloch is safe to use in your car, on bare floors, carpets, ceramic and porcelain tiles, concrete, fabric, glass, granite, laminate, limestone, marble, metal, plastic, quartz, slate, travertine, upholstery, and vinyl. But do the included attachments justify the price-point? Not quite. Versatility: Safe for a wide array of surfaces and materials We have a dog, and by the time we finished the kitchen floor, there was no sign of an animal having ever been there.Ĭontinuous blasting and scraping at our moderately greasy stove proved only minorly helpful. In other larger areas of the kitchen, the gadget got rid of surface dirt and left the floors and appliances looking much cleaner than a simple scrub down would have left them. The steam managed to loosen some grease and burnt food scraps, but not nearly enough to finish the job. Continuous blasting and scraping at our moderately greasy stove proved only minorly helpful. When used in larger spaces that have messier floors, like the kitchen, this product is less effective. It’s easy to maneuver in small, awkward spaces-like grimy shower corners-and not having to hold the base saves you energy while cleaning. When used in a small and relatively clean place like a bathroom, this product works well.

The manual claims that a full tank will give you 45 minutes of continuous steam, but we noticed that after only 15 minutes, the water seemed to cool a bit and become less effective. Starting and stopping the stream seemed to help the heat issue, but this was, of course, made difficult by the faulty button. What’s more, the button on the hose attachment got stuck (there’s a lock function) and we nearly burned ourselves trying to release it. Once you fill the tank properly, you’ll have to wait 8 minutes until the water reaches 200º F. We learned the hard way that if you try to fill it up without, water will go everywhere as it’s not designed to collect run-off. When you fill up the 48-ounce water tank, make sure you use the included funnel. While the array of accessories alone might be impressive to some, switching between them is made difficult due to low-quality connective pieces which jam and get stuck easily. What’s more, they might also feel underwhelmed with the quality of said attachments, as they appear to be made of a lesser material than the base. Users might be overwhelmed by the 18 different accessories-including a water funnel, squeegee, and triangle brush-that come with the cleaner, as there is no included organizational case or carrier. Weighing only 10 pounds, and equipped with dynamic wheels and a 15.7-foot power cord and 10-foot hose, it’s also incredibly mobile no matter if you’re lifting or dragging it. It looks similar to a VW Bug, which is to say-it’s actually pretty cute. The control base, which also holds the water tank, is sleek, shiny, and fairly compact.

The McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner is a good-looking product. The Spruce / Kaitlyn Wylde Design: Sleek, but inconsistent
