So if you don't need a ton of cleaning time. Just regular household stuff, then the plus wouldn't be worth the extra $70? Would that be correct? I was thinking if the plus comes with extra cleaning attachments or more power/heat....something. something to make it worth the extra $70. Great videos, thank you!
Correct, $70 adds basically unlimited run time and fast initial start up. We found that the NEAT+ runs continuously "in the green" (the light on front that indicates full temp and pressure) where the regular NEAT cycles more (the light goes amber and the pressure may lower until the green light comes back on) so the "+" may have a more powerful burner but we can't say for sure. They still sell the regular NEAT for good reason, because it works great and is reliable. You can always upgrade to the "+" in the future if you decided you want the extra features and we like having spare machines in case one breaks so that is an option for later if you like using these. Our "use-case" scenario isn't typical so if you are just using one around the house for less than an hour at a time, the regular NEAT does everything the "+" does for less and uses the same tools so you can save some money choosing it.
Unfortunately not available in the UK yet I have a grobell that works the same as the neat+ tells you the temp on the front while steaming great bit of kit but will get one of these when I can
@@JoeWheeler fingers crossed I got the original neat after watching you guys years ago amazing but mine broke the element inside cracked I took it apart and to be honest not the best design inside the boiler
I was given a steam cleaner once by someone who worked at a place that rented equipment out and it was one of those that costs over $2000 US new. It had stopped working and they didn't want to bother with it so they gave it to me. It ended up in a dumpster because there was no way to get parts or service on it, and it wasn't very old either. i guess the lesson for me was that even the most expensive equipment breaks at some point and often isn't feasible to fix, so if something can do the job AFFORDABLY buy that and avoid the real expensive versions because they all quit at some point and need replaced if repair isn't an option. So Neat's are affordable, and they tend to last a while in my experience and they are made at a price point so there are compromises made when compared to more expensive equipment but they all end up "in the tip" as it were so IF I can get ten Neat's for the price of one of those really nice machines that will still fail, I choose the ten Neat's because it may only take three to equal the life of the $1500-$2000 machines lifespan, and in that case i saved a significant amount to do the same amount of work. It all depends but they all stop working at some point, is I guess the point I'm trying to make,
The One Plus is hotter and adjustable pressure but is more expensive. Compare the two on Duprays website and decide if the feature difference is worth the price. I'm not sure that the trigger can be locked on with the One Plus or only locked out for safety but the Neat Plus has locking on feature which is very useful.
The NEAT Plus covers all the basics well enough for the vast majority of people. Unless there is some specific thing that the ONE Plus offers that just isn't available with the Neat Plus but just at a lower level it isn't worth the big price jump for most people. I think you will be happy with the Neat+
Excess heated water could damage electronics and some surfaces SO I would say the Neat+ would be a safer option. For the same price they are worlds apart too so I would get the Neat+ at this point. McCollough needs to upgrade their product to compete at all these days.

I have seen people from the UK using the regular Neat so hopefully soon you'll get the +.

Would the "one plus" be a upgrade to this?

@JoeWheeler I went with the neat plus. I think for my applications it will be fine. I can't justify spending more on the one plus.

@@JoeWheeler, that's what I went with. :) thanks for the response
Way to go 👍
Would the MC1385 or the Neat+ be better for car interiors?
