It has a 3 minute heat up time and will steam continuously for 10 minutes making it perfect for quick but powerful cleaning tasks.
It has 11 handy useful accessories.
The steam trigger can be locked in place to supply continuous steam and free up your hand for wiping or scraping.
The 34” extension hose attachment makes it possible to reach into hard to reach nooks and crannies.
What do Consumers have to say about this machine?
The biggest complaint consumers had is that the steam pressure runs out way too quickly and waiting for it to build up again is frustrating. The McCulloch Mc 1230 Handheld Steam Cleaner is a great steamer but keep in mind that this is a small machine meant for small tasks that can be easily stored because it is so compact.
It works at its best if you release a short burst of steam, wipe the dirt away and then release another short burst of steam followed by more wiping. It is very versatile when used like that and does well cleaning a variety of things.
A small percentage of consumers reported that the extension hose started to leak after a few uses. It is unclear whether they received defective parts or if they didn’t follow the instructions and caused the problem themselves.
You don’t need to use a funnel to fill this baby as the hole where you fill it with water is conveniently recessed.
Most consumers reported being happy with it when taking care of small cleaning tasks but would rather use a canister type steam cleaner with bigger capacity for more serious cleaning.
