McCulloch MC1385 Steam Cleaner vs Dupray Neat Plus Steam Cleaner

The Dupray Neat Plus is the better pick for most homes: it heats in 1 to 2 minutes, holds steam pressure continuously, and weighs 11 lbs. The McCulloch MC1385 wins on capacity and accessories, with a 64 oz tank, up to 120 minutes of steam per fill, and 23 pieces. Reviewers of the McCulloch praise its long run time and grout and auto work but note the 12-minute warm-up and bulky canister. Dupray owners rate the build and fast heat higher, though its 54 oz tank means more refills on big jobs.

• Choose the McCulloch MC1385 if you want long uninterrupted sessions on tile, grout and car interiors and value the larger accessory kit.
• Choose the Dupray Neat Plus if you want near-instant heat, continuous steam and a lighter, sturdier machine for everyday cleaning.
