Thinking of picking up a Wagener 915 or the McCulloch MC-1275.
Any differences on them, or reason to choose one over the other?

(I can get the 915 for $40 on craigslist, new in box!)


What do you use your steamer on? Seats, carpets, etc? And whats your process??

Thanks!
 
I have the Wagner 905 which is similar, just a little cosmetic difference. Although it's not a VX 5000, I really like it. I use it for cleaning interiors and it does a fine job.

One downside is be sure to keep the steam away from electronics and controls because the steam is quite moist -- more so than "pro" steamers like the VX 5000. One time I detailed my brother-in-law's Montana which has radio controls on the steering wheel. I used the 905 to remove some of the gunk build up on the controls. Much to my dismay, the radio started to randomly change stations and volume afterwards. After a while, it stopped changing stations and resumed normal operation.

For the money, it's great. The Wagner and McCulloch units are virtually the same. I won't detail an interior without my steamer anymore. I'd like to get a VX 5000 or something like it in the near future, but for now, my 905 will do just fine. For $40 NIB you can't go wrong.
 
Thanks.
I have heard the Wagner 915 and McCulloch units are the same.

Do people use them on carpet stains, or leather?
 
ALSO just checked and Lowes has the Wagner 915 unit for $35.99.......
 
I used to use my steamer a lot, now I use a Tornador and the steamer doesn't get used.
 
I have a xv5000 and a small $30 portable steamer. I use the big guy on details that I need to do a good amount of cleaning. It takes a little while to heat up so if I only need to clean the windows, I will use the little quart size steamer since it takes like 4 minutes to heat up.
