McCulloch MC1375 Canister Steam System by McCulloch

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

I first heard of this item from watching the Detail Geek YouTube channel. I absolutely love it. My first big test was cleaning my parents’ 11 year old Toyota Venza with 260,000 km of use and a bone/light grey colour interior. It cleaned absolutely everything off and left all the surfaces it touched looking brand new. I’ve not tried the floor mop part yet, as we do have a steam mop already, but I highly recommend it for all the other uses. *Photo shows how clean all the plastics for the threshold and around the feet cleaned up using this tool after applying a small amount of cleaner.

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).

So far very happy with this steam cleaner. I've used it twice now. As others have said, let the steam do the work for you... no need to press firmly etc. Very impressed with how it got some gunk off some taps and drains, as well as the laminate floor, marks on the paint, etc. Definitely not for commercial use as not strong enough to be used all day and battered around. Be cautious on taking the various attachments off and on because (1) attachments can get HOT and (2) plastic material. Glad to have purchased the larger item vs. the smaller hand held. Steam easily lasts more than 30 minutes without having to stop and fill up. I think this is a very good piece of home cleaning equipment but stress HOME.

I'm not sure what they are calling accessories but if it's attachments there are not 20. Also the booklet that comes with it doesn't tell you how to use all the attachments. Like what are they supposed to be used on? As a first time user of a steam cleaner I have no idea! Other than that it's great!
