Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a research junkie. Before buying “anything” over $50 I spend hours or sometimes days scouring the internet for reviews, comparisons, Consumer Reports, and all I can find! I was absolutely sure this was the best product of its kind around this price. They finally fooled the ol’ master on this one! The first time we used it to clean our bathroom it worked flawlessly. No back breaking work required. It met and exceeded my expectations, and we spent the rest of the day admiring how clean the bathroom was. I was SO proud my hours of research paid off, and even recommended it to a friend. The room only required regular very light cleaning after that, so the steamer went in the closet for months. THEN IT HAPPENED… it was only our third time using the machine, and the biggest attachment we used broke! Keep in mind this requires hardly any elbow grease like a mop would. The steam really does most of the work. That’s why we were shocked that this broke so easily. The hose “inside the floor attachment” became disconnected, and all the steam now shoots out the top of the attachment, making it totally useless. There are many useful attachments, but this is the one you’ll likely use the most on floors, shower and tub bottoms, and large areas like walls. Of course it broke only 3 months after the 1 year warranty! It all looks good on paper, but I wouldn’t recommend it again. McCulloch should have had a great product here, but they skimped on quality BIG time with this particular attachment. We even took the apart and reconnected the hose, but that lasted all of ten minutes. Extremely disappointed. Yes, we had it over a year, but in the big picture it broke on our third use. Buyer Beware!
