The hose splits on the mcCulloch mc 1275, 3 months old, such a shame, because, the steam on this machine is wonderfull. love having attachments, but , you can not use it if it does not hold up, contacted amazon, was told past date, to contact the company, did that heard not a thing from them, so contacted amazon again, by phone, they are letting me return it.

I have used this steamer to steam a gown made of slipper satin and I am happy with the results. I have had others steamers but have gotten the best results with this one. Very professional.

We just picked up Orville Redenbachers and it worked fine. Haven't tried others, so I can't say which is best. Hope that helps a little.

I love my Delongi. It works well and cuts my ironing time in half.Hope this helps.

I unpacked my new Wagner today and used the attachment with the cloth cover to clean mattresses and furniture. It dried immediately. I'm hoping the steam is hot enough with the cloth cover on to kill any dust mites. Does anybody know?

I used the Victorio Stainless Steamer a few times last fall and was quite happy with it. It was great making clear juice from our grapes to make jelly! I believe it will get lots of use this summer. Have no idea about the Norpro.

I have recent models of both and use them for different purposes, pretty much every day. In the Genius m/w, I cook, steam, make popcorn, reheat coffee, thaw stuff--in other words, use it like a stove top. In the t/o (Breville, highly recommended) I bake, make toast, broil and roast, and dehydrate--oven stuff. It felt like overkill when I first got them both (my old ones died within a short time of each other), but I must say I use all the features of both.

I really don't see a difference between the two as far as steam output and results. I've owned Caruso sets in the past. The only thing I think is different is that the Caruso set comes with 3 different sizes of rollers. This set has 30 rollers, all medium-sized. That was the biggest deciding factor for me. I wanted my rollers to be all the same size. I've been very happy with the Pro Beauty Tools product.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and highPressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

I do not have a Steam Jet II, but I do have an EZ1 and an EZ1 XL, They are both excellent. The EZ1 has a higher wattage which I assume would make hotter steam, but the XL works perfectly as well and has a wider head, which I prefer when I am cleaning large areas like the kitchen or family room. I would say they are comparable but it depends on the size of the area you are trying to clean.

Out Of Box experience.Pretty good, actually. This maker is heavier and displays a flashy amount of metal (brushed stainless steel). The plastic doesn't feel cheap (at least compared to the other makers I've tried. Looks nice on the counter (much better than the pictures). Kind of a retro industrial americana look.Went through the watering ritual (fill twice, then plug in). It made nice rumbles as the water heated. The sides are warm (110F?) but not overly so. Good because it's tall enough to require dragging forward to pour water in the top. The decanter does want to spill. It requires some finesse to pour cleanly, but not too much. Sleepy and hungover I should be able to manage it after some practice. Out Of Box experience.Pretty good, actually.

I bought this one because I do a lot of ironing and like a lot of steam. I love it. I haven't used the DW6080 but one of the reasons I did not buy it were the reviews regarding it not being great for low temps and steam. I this helps!!

Another vote for Barkeepers Friend Stainless cleaner. It's a gritty solid substance like ajax - but is amazing on stainless steel.

I have the qt so I don't really know about the 6 qt. I imagine it is much the same. I really like the steamer except the instruction manual really stinks; and I mean STINKS. One really has to search high and low for recipes to steam. I was thrilled to have a rice cooker and egg cooker all in one but our hard boiled eggs are so hard to peel. I think that this COULD be a great kitchen tool but at this point I cannot overly recommend it to anyone....Michele

Hello D.Martin, having used both I can say there was a difference regarding amount needed to be effective&PH; testing. Trisalts,although an excellent product required MORE &I; noticed the Phour salts showed a quicker affect in achieving proper PH alkaline result. Also, seemed more effective against muscle cramps during fasting/detoxifying. Also, the phour salts worked better for use during oral hygiene&cleansing; diabetic/slow to heal wounds. Hope this info was helpful.BlessingsKimmie

The steamer that amazon sent to me is the 1200watt, but I gues is better because the only diference is the time of heating, I mean if with 1200 I take 45seconds for steam, maybe with the 1600 you only need to wait 30 seconds, but once is steaming, you dont need those values anymore. I recomend less watts because will be less energy consumed,

The Wagner is made by the same manufacture as well, but the Wagner is marketed as a wallpaper steamer first, the McCollough and Steamfast more of a household steam-cleaner. Different attachments and a different look are the main differences. The internal parts have changed thru the year but the wattage, pressure, capacity is all the same.Oh, need to add that the difference between the McCollough MC-1275 and Steamfast SF-275 is that the McCollough has a longer hose-that's basically it.You can always buy the Wagner, and then order the other accessories on-line. That way you get the wallpaper attachment, and just order the triangle attachment for the Wagner from the Steamfast (or other) website.
