- Kills bacteria w/ just steam, chemical-free
- Bundles with 18 accessories
- More than a steam mop
- Cord length is shorter than you might like

Power
What’s most striking is the overall power the McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner has packed in such a small frame. It can translate its powerful steam cleaning into 43 PSI of steam power pressure.

Speed & Efficiency
It takes 8 minutes to heat up, but provides entirely chemical-free cleaner; instead, it heats water to 212-degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to kill 99.9% of bacteria without the use of cleaning products. The power of water and a floor mop scrub pad is all it needs.
Bin Capacity & Maintenance
McCulloch Canister Steam Cleaners hold 48 ounces inside their water tank. You’re getting up to 45 minutes of steam cleaning with a full tank. Since chemicals aren’t being used or dirt collection, McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaners just need the water tank rinsed out and dried.

Durability
Machines like McCulloch MC1275 Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaners are hardly ever made of anything but hard plastic. It’s cheap, but adds longevity to its build. The only thing you need to worry about is replacing the nylon brush every so often. The power cord is a bit short at 15.7 feet, but makes up for it with a 9-foot steam hose.
Value
In addition to performing well, all McCulloch Heavy Duty Steam Cleaners are missing is the talent of being a deep clean vacuum cleaner. It also isn’t much of a carpet cleaner, though its steam is great for refreshing carpets. Bundled inside are 18 attachments, which is how it accomplishes so much. For carpet cleaning, both the Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe and Hoover Smartwash are great options. The Tineco Pure One S12 would be a fantastic companion to the McCulloch steam cleaner.
McCulloch Heavy Duty Steam Cleaner Wrap Up
When steam cleaning floors isn’t enough, the McCulloch Heavy-Duty Steam Cleaner will swoop in and clean appliances you never thought needed it. When was the last time you cleaned your oven? With 18 attachments, that’s a possibility now. And since this handheld steam cleaner doesn’t need cleaning products, you get everything needed in one payment.
