Providing 1500 watts of steam power, the MC1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner requires no chemicals and is easy to use. Ideal for cleaning and detailing cars, trucks, motorcycles, or boats, the cleaner removes grease and grime from engines, wheels, and chrome accessories. It also works well for removing stuck-on dirt from the BBQ grill, patio furniture, or garage. The "steam ready" light indicates when the unit is ready to use, and a steam-control switch provides control over the amount of steam coming from the unit. The cleaner features a storage compartment for many of its 18 attachments. Its 15-foot power cord, caster wheels, and included accessories offer convenient mobility and make it easy to clean nooks and crannies in hard-to-reach places. The steam cleaner has a 48-ounce water tank capacity, which allows for up to 45 minutes of use.

3rd DEGREE BURNS!! NOT SAFE!!
I really loved this stream cleaner one I got it working correctly. But it is put together CHEAP! The second time I went to use it no steam would come from floor attachment. I took it apart and saw this was because I payed $140 for them to attach the tube with a zip tie. And a cheap one at that. It had come undone and the hose wasn't attatatched. So I put that piece back together, I'm using it a couple months later, like I said I really loved it, and all of a sudden I hear a POP AND BOILING WATER IS HITTING ME FROM EVERY DIRECTION. THANK GOD INSTINCT WAS TO COVER MY FACE WITH MY ARMS!! The picture I displayed is 2nd degree burns, the majority is 3rd degree. That would have been my face!! After i'm released from the hospital I inspect the steamer because I wanted to know why this happened. A faulty gasket. All this money and I get a zip tie and a gasket that is so cheap it melts!! It has been almost 2 months since the incident and I still cannot use my left arm much and have to keep it bandaged and lidocaine is the only thing that had kept me safe. I didn't um get to enjoy the pool 1 time with my girls this summer. My arm is weak and my other is so sore because I have to use it for everything. So unacceptable and so unnecessary. I still can't believe how cheaply this was put together and that this actually happened to me. I will have the scars to remember for life. Don't let this be you!! Do not buy this brand!!

Great Steam Cleaner . . . Some Alternative Accessories Do Fit This Unit
I love this steam cleaner! Lots of pressure! Previous reviews warned manufacturer will not ship replacement heads for bristle attachments to Canada. Not exactly ideal, however; today I bought a dupray accessory kit at Costco. They fit the McCulloch steam cleaner perfectly. Snapshot of accessories pack which do fit this unit.

Canadians Beware!!!
Canadians beware!!!Great machine, works really well on tiles and my filthy grout- am very impressed BUT the small bristle heads wear rapidly- last maybe 4-6 tiles worth of grout. This would not be an issue if I could replace them, as as others in Canada have found you cannot buy them in Canada and the only place in the USA is the manufacturer who refuses to ship to Canada ( I checked and unlike others they did reply - told me to try Amazon.ca or Home Depot even though they know I'll be unsuccessful). I don't understand why it's sold in Canada if not supported.If I'm to keep the steamer I'll need to use a reshipping company if the seller allows this- if not the machine will be useless and I'll have to return. Such a shame , as I really like itMeantime I'm using a Rubbermaid Reveal grout brush which is pretty good ( 100% more durable at least) after steaming and as an FYI- my Bissell little green machine to suck up the dirty water.

It's getting hot in here!
I initially wrote a review and gave this steamer 3 stars. I found it wasn't getting hot ( I could keep my hand under the steam without it hurting). Turns out I was using it wrong! They give you a measuring cup and funnel to fill the tank. Do not over fill it! I was over filling the tank ( it is a huge tank). I tried the steamer again, this time I only filled the measuring cup as directed. Guess what! It works amazing. I was steaming my floor and it hurt to step on an area that was steamed minutes prior it was still that hot! It doesn't take long to heat up if you fill the tank correct and it really does last the amount of time estimated. It comes with lots of attachments for literally any job you could think of. Now that I'm using it correct the only negative I find is that there is no where to wrap the cord. This is so minor and I'm amazed at how well it worked second time around I gave 5 stars.Some things I've learnt through trial and error:-Only fill the amount recommend- if it's spitting water, you overfilled it-when the light turns off/on you can still use it (I thought it meant it was re heating. That is wrong)-dont let the steam hit you-let it cool for 10 mins before re filling (take cap off slowly to let air leak out)If I figure anything else out I will edit my review. All in all I am really impressed!

Works well as described and feels somewhat sturdy. Cleans fast and efficiently
Works well as described and feels somewhat sturdy. Cleans fast and efficiently. Here are the things I hated about it;1. Very poorly made attachments; the brush attachments start coming apart after just a few uses. Quite disappointed with the quality.2. No cord and hose storage; yall could've just glued something on it so as to assist in storing the wires and hose. Quite inconvenient as it is now.3. Emptying the tank is always a task; You have to turn the machine upside down just to empty the water. This is a task because the cords and hose are still attached to it and its quite awkward trying to make sure the hot water coming out of the tank doesn't burn you while emptying it.4. Due to poor quality of attachments you would need to buy more soon and you can't get them here in Canada.5. Couple of attachments don't even fit.Overall, I hate this purchase and will advice anyone to stay away from it.
