SERIOUS detailer in the market for a Steamer.... looking to buy in the next 30 days or less.... please help with your opinions

I'd say get the mcculloch 1385. It's $200 range, 64 oz of water, variable steam, tons of attachments, built sturdy, its light and not big at all. and most importantly it gets the job done. Mike says they "usually" have crappy attachment, well this one doesn't. It's a steamer for ANY job so it comes with some attachments I don't use in Detailing but the ones I do use haven't failed me yet. And in the event they do is just order some more non expensive replacements. Or maybe just a new machine lol. Pair it with your favorite APC and this is your Curry and Durant dynamic duo lol. It's about your technique and know-how. I've cleaned engines and whole interiors. Never tried to use it on rims though. Get the same results and keep some money in your pocket

How do you like the vapor chief? Likes/dislikes? Any before and after pictures? I am looking into those same 4 models as well. Vapor Chief claims their 100 model is better than the Hill, don’t really see massive differences between the two but I’m leaning towards the Dupray Hill. It appears all models can use tap water unless I misread somewhere, which is possible as I’ve been reading a ton on all models past couple weeks. Hoping to gain some more feedback from owners of any of these steamers.
