I just bought this bad boy and it arrived yesterday! I cleaned my shower last night at 10 pm, had to see how well it worked! Never had more fun cleaning my shower! This thing is a beast!
I found your channel after searching this steamer and thoroughly enjoyed your review! I just received this steamer and was stressed thinking I had to put it together and let it sit for a day in the box while I searched for reviews. Thanks for this very helpful review. I'm ready to get to work with steaming now!
I just had this delivered! I’m so glad to see a video showing me how to use it! I have pet parrots so I can not use chemicals. This is such a great way to know I’m killing germs!
I just stumbled onto your channel while I was looking for reviews for cleaning products and tools. Finally, someone who uses products the way I will use the product and provides a detailed review of everything. I can't stand the formula, QVC type reviews. Will be watching many more reviews on your channel.
I came across on my feed a survey that said does this name of my channel offend you, of course I SAID NO, THEN I SUBSCRIBED THANKS FOR DEMONSTRATING THIS.
So glad that crayon came up easily. I’m excited to get one of these. We’re working on a new house that’s bigger than I’m used to cleaning and I’m gonna need something like this to keep up with it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate you showing the home uses for this machine. I was on the fence of just buying a Bissel floor steamer or this. I was afraid it would be bulky and hard to move around but with the cord and hose length you can reach a lot of area before having to move it. Also I can clean so much with it!
Thanks for this. I just bought the step up from this one and all the reviews I can find are for car detailing, which is great, but not my primary purchase reason. Very excited to get it and use it now.
If in a place like Germany where the water turns white or anywhere in America if that is a thing there...make sure you only use distilled water else you will be back tracking to clean up the white splotches left from the steam
Seems like this little machine is really good, and does everything. I love steam machine. I may have to get one of these, I have had smaller ones they didn’t last long at all, waste of money. This one can do so many things. Love it, thanks for demo for us.👍👍👍
Thank, I think I am going to pick this one over the Bissell! I have both, but have to return one. Your vid made my choice educationally informed and easy!
I noticed early on that you get a lot of water dripping every time you pull your trigger. You should have only steam coming out of the nozzle. There must be an issue with that model because my Wagner doesn’t drip like that.
Thank you soo much for making this video. I just bought the same steamer & needed to know how to properly use it. I wish it came with a carpet glider attachment though.
Thank you, I'm new to the steam cleaners and recently got one, but I so far only know the grout attachment is for and doesn't know how and when to use the rest of the attachments. This has been so helpful!
They need to make pads for the larger attachments to clean with!!, i see so many adding a cloth with a rubber band because they dont offer the cloth that fits the square steamer attachments or the triangle one.
I watched the whole video twice and maybe I've missed it twice but I don't recall you mentioning if it really does have the 90 minutes of continuous treatment.
@Clean Freak and Germaphobe. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. You are such a gracious helpful woman. I think I'm going to buy the unit you have. I have a double lung condition and my husband has one also. ♥️
Does the machine need to have the water removed after use? Did you get 90 minutes of use after all? Do you get credit if we buy this through your channel. Thanks
That’s correct, it can break them. They have formulas that won’t clog up the machine. Put the vinegar on the surface and then use the machine to clean it.
I wonder if any of the McCulloch products could be used for mattresses or couches? Could anyone speak to a steamer that could do this? This seems like for everything hard surface.
Edit: went with the Dupray. Now, I'm having problems with dupray. Weak steam. Idk if it doesn't heat up water properly anymore because despite button showing water is heated, I get water mixed with steam. Would not recommend. It's only been a year. I've used this machine once every 2 months. Original: This or the Dupray? Trying to decide which is better (power and durability) Will use throughout the house. Which do you recommend more?
Our home is older. The previous home owners didn't seal the grout or travertine unfortunately. No matter how much we clean them (which is often) they don't stay clean. We are debating putting in different flooring verses a professional cleaning and sealing. Both are a lot of $$$
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe ~ Gurl! I SO feel you on this! Ours is the same. They did not seal the grout when they put the floor in. I don't know why. SMH. Honestly, I was glad to see you don't have a picture perfect house, but a well lived in and well loved one....like so many of us.
Thank you so much for this very thorough review! Although I'm still researching this type of machine, right now this one is the winner thanks to your review. I'm wondering if you can use this on a carpet, to disinfect it, with any of the attachments? P.S. I subscribed to your channel. 😍 Happy Holidays! 🍁🍂⛄🎄❄
I bought it specifically for pet stains (puppies). Although it works well on tile and flat surfaces, on carpeting/rugs it only seems to make the stain grow.
Great question. Try testing it first on a small area first. Don't get too close because the steam can burn fabric. Or use a cloth over the triangle tool because it will spread out the steam.
This unit does not come with a squeegee. If that is a deal breaker for you, here's a link to our review of the Dupray Neat steam cleaner. It is a terrific unit and does have a squeegee
Hi, I have steam cleaner about 3 years, I have an issue no steam coming out, I waited to cool down the temperature, a lot of calcium coming out , what should I do please, any suggestions
Hello, can you attach the extensions to a small brush head to clean grout lines? I have a bad back and legs and can’t get on my hands & knees on the floor . TY
It can help clean it but overall it’s not great for stains. I’ve also tried a carpet cleaner. It does get dirt off and the water was dirty but most of the stains remained. We have mattress cleaning videos and that worked on almost everything. There are some stains that never came out which is why we always recommend a waterproof mattress protector. Or a new mattress.
I spilled coffee on my feather mattress topper and that's what I need it for too wonder if it would work. No dry cleaning stores left in our city so I'm stuck.
Only thing stopping me from buying it is the plug? I live in england and our plugs and sockets and outputs are different? Any ideas on how i could get round this dont want a fire thanks
@Beast Mode My Neat does not drip. If you stop using steamer for a few minutes, condensation builds up in the hose. When I resume cleaning with it, I hold nozzle in bucket or on towel and spray to release the build up water until steam comes out. Only takes few seconds. But my Dupray Neat does not drip, that would drive me crazy. Ha
Not sure if this helps but I've seen people wrap a cloth around the steamer with a rubber band to clean sensitive materials like wood floors, the inner roof of your car, etc. 😊
I just bought this bad boy and it arrived yesterday! I cleaned my shower last night at 10 pm, had to see how well it worked! Never had more fun cleaning my shower! This thing is a beast!
yep, same
Hahahah! Did the exact same thing!
😭😭😭😭😂😂
Does it loose pressure when you add hose? That is the problem I’m having with most.
@@GeorgiasGarden do not know? I have not added any additional hose to mine.

Don't it come with directions sir ? Why would you have to let it sit together in the box for a day till you watched a review!?.

Love mine. You won't regret it
I have this machine and love it. This was THE best video every made on this model.

Thank you, mine arrived yesterday and you helped me know what to expect.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been contemplating this and another brand but after seeing your video I have made up my mind. Thank you again
Glad it was helpful!
I noticed early on that you get a lot of water dripping every time you pull your trigger. You should have only steam coming out of the nozzle. There must be an issue with that model because my Wagner doesn’t drip like that.
Can you use this to clean blinds?
works nicely when you put in the 48 oz water and add 1/4 oz of rinseless car solution too.
Also would love to know how many minutes of use you got before you had to refill the water?
Thank you soo much for making this video. I just bought the same steamer & needed to know how to properly use it. I wish it came with a carpet glider attachment though.
That would be nice, but it had so many other pluses to make up for it
It looks like there is no clothes steam head included. This unit seems like the Jack of all trades and I was surprised it was not included.
Thank you, I'm new to the steam cleaners and recently got one, but I so far only know the grout attachment is for and doesn't know how and when to use the rest of the attachments. This has been so helpful!
So happy to help. The possibilities are endless
What happens when ur using it and runs out of water ,or if u just need to add more water. Do you need to wait til is cool down or how do u know
They need to make pads for the larger attachments to clean with!!, i see so many adding a cloth with a rubber band because they dont offer the cloth that fits the square steamer attachments or the triangle one.
I watched the whole video twice and maybe I've missed it twice but I don't recall you mentioning if it really does have the 90 minutes of continuous treatment.
Yes I hate it when they say ‘we will get to that later’ then forget lol
Agreed. She never said. Ugg.
Oh well...the dripping this model does looks annoying anyway.
Very good demonstration for what is now also my steamer. Thanks!
Do you like the McCullough or the Bissell hand held better????
What about cleaning the attachments after use?
Do you label toilet attachment? Counter? Etc
Thank you so much! I enjoyed this video, very helpful and especially was curious how to store it!
I feel like it would take so much longer to clean a house with this
WHATTTT YALL CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD THIS lucky I want to buy one but now I have to save up a lot
I have the bigger version of this and love it but HATE the fact that there isn’t a water level indicator
Agree
What is the appropriate way to clean inside tank? Fill it with vinegar and let it sit for a period of time. Is there a dilution for the vinegar/water?
Can i clean carpets and sofa with this?
@Clean Freak and Germaphobe. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. You are such a gracious helpful woman. I think I'm going to buy the unit you have. I have a double lung condition and my husband has one also. ♥️
Thank you for sharing I just purchased mine. 🥰
You will love it. I use mine all the time
Do you have the hand held bissel steam cleaner as well or will this one suffice? Can you use this to clean carpets?
Does the machine need to have the water removed after use? Did you get 90 minutes of use after all? Do you get credit if we buy this through your channel. Thanks
Excellent! Very clear👍 what about uphostery and area rugs? Did you try with clorox?
Can you still remove wallpaper with it?
I bought it, the second time I used it it turned off and it won't turn on anymore. What can I do?
Ok fine... You talked me into it.
Haha. Prepare to become addicted to steam cleaning😃
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe I think I already am... I am already planning on taking it to work. Baseboards, grout, you name it. Boss is gunna be impressed!
Love this product demo! Thank you !
For bathroom limescale cleaning, did you put vinegar into the machine together with water?
Usually you are not supposed to put anything else than water in those tanks.
That’s correct, it can break them. They have formulas that won’t clog up the machine. Put the vinegar on the surface and then use the machine to clean it.
Looks like it drips. I want to get one but am on the fence.
Love the raytecs your utilizing.... lol we have a ton of those and blue towels at my house too.
I wonder if any of the McCulloch products could be used for mattresses or couches? Could anyone speak to a steamer that could do this? This seems like for everything hard surface.
I've already steamed my couch. Buy it. You will love it!
Best details review 👍👍 I was looking for . Thank you 😊
Thanks mom :) I got four kids and they make a mess
How long does it take to heat up
Have you ever tried using isopropyl alcohol in it

This or the Dupray? Trying to decide which is better (power and durability) Will use throughout the house. Which do you recommend more?
Which did you pick? I’m torn too!!
I went with this but the 1385 over the Dupray, i like that i can use it indoor or outdoor specially detailing our cars
Great video but what's going on with the grout lines in your kitchen?

The grout was driving me crazy too! It looks like it was installed by children.
@@jillferguson8965 zep grout cleaner from home depot. It's a chemical, but will make your grout look brand new in less than 5 minutes.

It says that it cleans carpets, but I see nothing (accessory) to clean with.
I bought it specifically for pet stains (puppies). Although it works well on tile and flat surfaces, on carpeting/rugs it only seems to make the stain grow.
To empty the tank after using, how is this done and is it difficult?
Who did your grout!!😦
Did you figure out an attachment or work around for windows! I really want to be able to do my windows too!
Can this be used on fabric? Like a chair?
Great question. Try testing it first on a small area first. Don't get too close because the steam can burn fabric. Or use a cloth over the triangle tool because it will spread out the steam.
no more wasting money on toilet paper for me
The forbidden bidet
Did you buy a jug of distilled water or did you just use tap water? I'm about to purchase this steamer to detail my car
Distilled water
I like your ummm bar bell on the right 😊
Just buy yesterday , thank you your video ,can't wait try
I know you will love it. Careful, steam cleaning is addictive 😃
any updates on this machine?
I have yet to see a video showing it clean stains off an area rug.
Does the 1385 have the lock button feature
Soooooo I'm assuming it doesn't work on living room carpet!!?
Can you clean window glass with this unit?
This unit does not come with a squeegee. If that is a deal breaker for you, here's a link to our review of the Dupray Neat steam cleaner. It is a terrific unit and does have a squeegee
ua-cam.com/video/UwBoB6BocAo/v-deo.html
The 1385 model has a squeegee.
Would you recommend the McCulloch 1385 or the Dupray Neat better? I’m so torn!
You can't go wrong with either.... butnif I had to choose..... the Neat
Hi, I have steam cleaner about 3 years, I have an issue no steam coming out, I waited to cool down the temperature, a lot of calcium coming out , what should I do please, any suggestions
I live in Colorado where it is super dry. I run my Vicks humidifier non stop. About once a month if I soak it in vinegar it runs like new.
Hello, can you attach the extensions to a small brush head to clean grout lines? I have a bad back and legs and can’t get on my hands & knees on the floor .
TY
You sure can. Either one extension, or the 2 of them together to make it even longer.
Does anyone know if the button for steaming Has to be continuously held down or can you lock it? Thank you
Watch the complete video, she discusses the lock on/lock off feature!
The unit has a locking mechanism. So no, you don't have keep pressing the trigger.
what attachment do you use for carpets? also, do you the temperature it reaches when it goes to the green mark?
Excellent instructional video! Kudos to you for sharing…
Happy to😊 I love steam cleaners.
Anybody know if there's any way to use this effectively on wall to wall carpets?
Could you please also share that how we figure out,that there is not water left in the machine. Is there any sing for this .
Unfortunately there is not a water level indicator line, I wish it did. You basically know the water is out when it stops producing steam.
Excellent review 👍thank you!
Great video
Great video !!!
Good video, good job 👍🏾

Dont think an eu adapter works
Gracias muy buen vídeo.😁😁
De nada, que pasa!
instead of poison to clean with, use 30% white vinegar
Is it possible to hook up the tips to the pole so you don't need to bend down to get the grout.
Absolutely! I figured that out last year when I was super pregnant but still wanted to clean my grout🤣
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe Thanks!
Thanks for the review.
Why is there water constantly dripping? 13:19
And does the Dupray Neat do the same?

When I resume cleaning with it, I hold nozzle in bucket or on towel and spray to release the build up water until steam comes out. Only takes few seconds. But my Dupray Neat does not drip, that would drive me crazy. Ha
The Neat is a dry vapor steam cleaner which is better.
The other is a regular steam cleaner, and there may be more moisture when your clean.
The plastic just sounds and looks so cheap? how did it hold up?I was considering getting Wagner one as i know thats a reputable brand
Check out the Dupray cleanfreakandgermaphobe.com/neat
Can I clean a mattress
👍steam disinfects helps odors and no chemicals! It’s the temperature heat that kills germs so it should clean it😁
Thank you for the video, but found the music, even though low, quite distracting. I kept wondering if another player was playing in the background
do you prefer this unit to the Dupray Neat?
They are both amazing. We will be doing a side by side comparison soon so stay tuned 😉
Question
Mine keeps blowing steam even when i dont press the trigger
Any way to fix that??
Contact the company, they are very helpful!
@@CleanFreakGermaphobe thank you
will this work for bed bugs
I believe it does..😊they hate heat so I’m 99.99%itwill..
Who the heck installed your floors? Those grout lines are absurd...!...
But does it clean carpet stains?
The heat from the steam might be damaging to the fibers or glue. It would depend on the carpet.
Will it remove T-shirt paint logo?
How expensive are new t shirts?
You can use regular water… but you will need to fill with vinegar once a month or so… save the money and time… just buy distilled water….
Can u use the floor attachment to steam clean hardwood floors without damaging them?
If u can is there a way to turn the heat down so u dont damage the wood floors?
Not sure if this helps but I've seen people wrap a cloth around the steamer with a rubber band to clean sensitive materials like wood floors, the inner roof of your car, etc. 😊
Wow and never iron again!
Haha it’s that filling then you have one 3yo and 38yo kids, who draw the whole house with permanent marker and crayons;))) just bought it:)
I hate that the nossle ‘drips’.
