Strong arm

A heavy duty steamer is a mix between a home steam cleaner and a commercial/professional strength steamer. They are more durable, last longer and deliver more pressure than most household steam cleaners. They are great for regular use around the home as well as in the office.

A heavy duty carpet steam cleaner gets the job done and is capable of solving most, if not all of your carpet cleaning problems. There are two steamers that we will be reviewing in detail: The Mcculloch MC-1275 and SteamFast SF-275.

The Mcculloch MC-1275

The Mcculloch MC-1275 is a sturdy, canister shaped steam cleaner that has earned a 4 star rating and is quite affordable at $99 at Amazon.

A few details about this machine are: it runs on 1,500 watts of power, has a 50 oz. water capacity, 12 foot power cord, weighs 13 lbs, portable on caster wheels and has a storage compartment.

It has a light indicator which lets you know when you can start steam cleaning and you can do so for up to 1 hour per tank. It comes with several attachments which include a standard nozzle, large triangular brush, a set of several small brushes, window squeegees, wand extensions, scrub pad and a floor attachment.

One of the best things about these Mcculloch heavy duty steam cleaners is that you can use them for a wide range of cleaning purposes. You can clean your BBQ grill, detail your car or boat, clean outdoor furniture, bathroom fixtures, tiles, windows and even floors. These steamers are so effective; you will want to steam clean everything!

This model is particularly loved by customers, so it’s only fair we take a close look at what they’re saying.

The Good:

• Cleans grout and dirt/scum buildup really well

• Some have found that you can steam clean for more than 1 hour i.e. between 1-2 hours.

• Great for multi purpose cleaning and even makes quick work of cleaning toilets as the brushes clean crevices and other hard to reach areas.

• Great price. This is one of the cheapest “good” steam cleaners on the market

The Bad:

• It is a bit on the noisy side, however, most cleaning machines are.

• Don’t expect this steamer to “magically” clean. You will have to wipe off the dirt after steam cleaning an area.
