Got another unboxing and product review for you guys. Today is the McCulloch MC1385 Steamer. I find that a steamer is basically a necessity when detailing interiors. Watch to find out my opinion on this only $200 steamer and see if this is a tool that you should add to your detailing arsenal.

I bought this model for cleaning my car but also around the house. Have had it for one day and so far I like it. The pressurized steam shooting thru the attachments can be a bit loud. You might want to wear ear plugs or jam out with ear buds while cleaning. That aside - this is a great video!

Is MCCulloch the same as Poulan? May have spelled both wrong but I saw the PoulanPro and someone told me they thought they were the same, some sort of merge or buyout blah blah. Heard of such?

I’ve been filling up my steamer all the way and it leaks out and it takes like 30 seconds for the gauge to go from yellow to the green. Am i overflowing the system and how do i know when to stop filling up the water?
@archangelauto
@archangelauto 9 ай бұрын
Depending on which one you have (1385 or 1375) you might be overfilling. The 75 only takes 48oz and the 85 takes 64oz. They come with little plastic cups to be able to measure how much water you are putting in it. If you lost it you can just measure out that much distilled water with a measuring cup.

@johnyortiz8774 the dupray doesn't have a higher steam temp. They are faking their numbers and listing the temp peak temp inside the boiler and not what comes out of the nozzle. I've tested both machines and neither actually getting hot enough steam out of the nozzle to truly be considered as "sanitized." If you want sanitized level of heat you will have to spend $1,000+ for pro models. These are all consumer grade streamers and all the temperatute numbers they claim are exaggerated.

I have actually used one on my couch and it worked great. As far as the bed goes, be careful as to how much moisture you are putting into the mattress. You want it to be able to dry completely or else you will get mildew. I would say go for it but maybe run a fan on it after you are done.

@@rickzabala6020 A steamer is what I consider a moderate solution to cleaning carpet. It works in a lot of cases for medium or heavily soiled carpets or even a pretreat for a non-heated carpet extractors. However, you can clean very well with just a carpet cleaning solution, a brush and a microfiber towel. Just vacuum the area, spray your solution and agitate it with your brush. Then simply wipe up with the microfiber towel. You will be surprised on how well this works. I wouldn't recommend doing the whole car this way as it would take a lot of time and elbow grease but, it will work for spots. Hope this helps.
