I have one last question on steamers. I am looking at McCulloch steamers and think I want a MC1375, but have been thinking about the MC1385. It looks like the specs are close if not the same, so...is it worth the extra money over the MC1375?

Thanks

I have one and love it! Tons of attachments and a great little steamer for the money. Just remember to clear the line if it sits idle for 30secs or so cause it blows straight water at first for 1-2 secs and DON'T overfill it. Also make sure to use only distilled water in it. I also add 1/2 ounce of ONR for a little extra cleaning power. If you aren't steaming vehicles everyday and expecting mind blowing power then you'll love it.

What are you steaming that you add ONR?

I purchased the 1385 about a month ago and love it. I would say go for it, it is worth the little extra $$$.

I've read where some add ONR in their steamer however I checked with the manufacturer and they informed me if I added ONR or used anything other than distilled water my warranty would be void. Just FYI

Everything I steam pretty much. Just adds a little extra cleaning power and smells nice too. Lol

I have the 1385 and really like it. My wife love using it around the house also. The difference is the amount of water held and the profile.
