Can someone who owns one,please post a review and demo of the unit? The 2 models with similar features are the 1375 and 1385.The 1385 has what seems would be a much needed wand mounted steam control wheel.Would enjoy hearing someone who owns either of the units, thoughts on this.

I just picked up a McCullough for $75 at Harbor Freight on sale after a 25% off coupon. Killer deal...:xyxthumbs:

Just got mine today, the 1385, and put it through it's paces on a full detail on a 2010 suburban. This thing is a heaven sent machine lol it powered through the gunk of 4 kids which ranged from mud all the way to gum stuck on leather seats to what I would have guessed as a melted fruit roll up in one of the back cubbie holes...took a lil bit for it to heat up plus I think I filled it to much lol. But once it got rolling I loved it, did the entire 'burban with one fill of water I was quite surprised. Definitely going to love this machine!

That is a great deal! As clean as your cars stay; I'm sure this unit is that will be needed
My MC1385 arrived today. I'll be testing it out on my Evo engine bay tomorrow
Im the MAN
I ran my through the gauntlet yesterday on an Infiniti QX56 (I HATE THESE SUV's) I was very pleased with the outcome
I've never had the opportunity to use the $1,000+ machines, but doubt very seriously they would perform any better then the McCulloch 1385
This is a very nice machine. Thanks Dapper for turning us on to this :dblthumb2:

Thanks for the warning. :cruisin:
Seriously, though what can you expect for $200? I'd like to get a VX5000 or a Pro6 Duo but it's not in my budget just yet.

^Looking forward to the videos. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on this unit. From the reviews it seems you can't go wrong with it. Any other reviews after using this would be greatly appreciated!

:iagree: It would be nice if there was a window that showed how much water was left
The way I am emptying mine now is by getting a straw and having my wife to suck the water out -

I am laying the wand down, hitting the trigger/hold button, then waiting for it to empty

I nearly pulled the trigger on the Vapor Systems VX 5000 Steamer this morning until I stumbled across this thread...I was waiting for Flash to give it a thumbs up or death by an F-350............:laughing:
Based on this endorsement, I too ordered one.............

I expect things to preform as advertised. The price doesn't matter. You guys buying these $1,000 steamers are getting the shaft IMO
