An effective, easy-to-use, and inexpensive steam cleaner.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I received the McCulloch MC1275 Steam Cleaner last December as a Christmas gift.  My boyfriend knew how much time and effort it was taking me to keep up with the weekly bird cage cleaning and had heard me mention that other people use steam cleaners to get the job done in a fraction of the amount of time.  He paid about $100 for it from an online retailer.

It's very easy to set up and use.  It comes with a measuring cup and funnel to get the water into the tank.  If you add 3 of the cups of water to the tank, it will be full and will produce up to an hour of continuous steam.  It has a long hose which makes it easy to use without having to drag the canister around...

The McCulloch Steam Cleaner is amazing!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The McCulloch Steam Cleaner truly is amazing.  It does everything.  It comes with attachements for almost any job -- mopping, small-space cleaning for those tight nooks and crannies, metal cleaning -- you name it.  I will probably not have occasion to use all the attachments.

Assembly is simple and the unit even came with a screwdriver for screwing in the carrying handle!  The device heats up quickly and you're ready to clean and sanitize in minutes.  You use regular old tap water.  You can pull the cleaner behind you or sling it over your arm with the carrying strap.

I have to admit that the powerful stream of piping hot steam is a bit intimidating, as are the warnings and cautions that come with the machine, but you're left with no doubts that the McCulloch Steam Cleaner is doing its job.

I haven't begun to explore the entire functionality of this machine, but I'm pretty sure it does just about anything.

This product is amazing!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I received the McCulloch Steam Cleaner as a birthday gift.  This product has changed the way I clean!  Cleaning has become much more enjoyable and quick!  The first time I used the Steam Cleaner I wasn't convinced that it was as great as I had heard.  But, the more I used this product and learned how to use all the attachments, the more I fell in love with it!  I had been using Lysol type wipes to clean my bathroom counters.  One of the first things I noticed after replacing those with the Steamer, was how much more my counters shined!  This product leaves no chemical residue so the end result is shiny, clean and sanitized!   I have used the littl...

McCulloch Steam Cleaner gets everything clean

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I use my McCullough steam cleaner in the kitchen and bathroom and on windows and floors. It gets things cleaner than you thought they could be. Great for cleaning all appliances including microwave, refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove and dishwasher. The steam has so much force that it gets in all those nooks and crannies. You don't have the harsh smells of chemical cleaners in your house but all surfaces are completely sanitized. I read another review that complained that the steam was "not hot enough." In order to produce steam you need to reach a very hot temperature so that makes absolutely no sense. Yes you do have small puddles of water because the steam cools and condenses back in...

Low heat + low psi = water everywhere

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

I wanted to jump on the green-wagon and this machine seemed to be a good place to start. No chemicals... what a great idea! The steam that comes out is hardly what I would call "hot" and I have a hard time believing that this thing actually sanitizes anything at all. Let me clarify something for you which I wasn't aware of; this is a STEAM cleaner not a VAPOR cleaner. I googled for a while and vapor cleaners are what you envision when you think of a product like this. This machine left water everywhere and caused more harm than good. I returned it and picked up one of the reliable cleaners from go-vapor. Finally got what I was looking for.

Rich, beautiful colors but poor lasting ability.

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

This is just an ok product.  The colors are nice but Smashbox has a very limited offering of colors.  Application is easy.  I use the Smashbox flat liner brush and I also use the Bobbi Brown fine liner brush.  Both give great results.  The only real con with the cream liners is that they do not last.  By the middle of the day, I can see that the liner has greatly faded and smudged.  Well before the end of the day, the liner is either gone and or smudged into an awful mess.  I usually love most Smashbox products, but this one gets no love from me.  I will not buy this product again.

No more pet smell!

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

My living room smelled like dog! I frequently wash my dog's bedding, toys, etc. I also frequently vacuum and spray the furniture with cleaner, but I still could not get rid of that dog smell. After using the McCulloch Steam Cleaner, my living room smells as fresh and unlike dog as can be! My only con is that I prefer upright machines to handheld ones.
