3.0 out of 5 stars Great little steamer but that's just about all it is...., October 25, 2008

By 

Busy Mom (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monster 1200 Heavy-Duty Handheld Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)

I give 5 stars for the steamer, and 1 star for their revolutionary cleaning solution.

Ok, let me say that I love my Monster Steamer for the steamer part only. The cleaning solution only lasts for like 5 minutes for each bottle (you get two bottles fore each shipment). If you already have a steamer that you love and works for you, then you probably don't need this.

I purchased the lifetime free supply of the cleaning solution but what happens is they charge you $15 for shipping every month and you get two tiny little bottles. Totally not worth it. I'm going to cancel the shipment of the bottles and just use my own cleaning solution that I buy at the grocery store for a lot cheaper. I did try pouring in a different cleaning solution into the reservoir but it started bubbling up and I don't think the Monster steamer liked that too much since after it bubbled up some, it stopped pulling in my solution into the tubing. I cleaned it out as best I could and when I got my first shipment of the Monster cleaning solution, I poured it in the reservoir and it started working again. So, all I do now is spray my favorite store bought solution on the area that I wish to clean and steam over it. As far as I'm concerned it works just as well as the monster cleaning solution does (since all the steamer does is spray ever so often a bit of the solution over the area you are steaming).

The steamer will not revolutionize the way you clean your house. Let me break the news to you now. You will still need to scrub some. It does not get all the things off as easy as the infomercial shows. But, to their defense, I was able to clean my oven in about 15 minutes using the attachments that they provided (again, I did have to use some elbow grease).

With the steamer, I was able to:

- Get some grease stains off my stove top that I was never able to remove before. I did have to steam it a lot though and the little brush attachment tool that came with it flattened out rather quickly.

- Easily clean my cabinet drawers from the old sauce drippings and who knows what else that got caked on there. Also good for Doors, doorknobs and baseboards.

- Easily clean behind the sink faucets and toilet seats where the bolts go that keep the seat onto the toilet.

- Easily get soap scum and toothpaste gunk off counters.

- Was able to get bubble gum off in 5 seconds that was stuck on the carpet in my son's bedroom for about a month.

- While mopping the floor, was able to remove the stubborn food items that were clinging for all their worth. I'm not able to remove them with a swifter mop easily but am able to with the steamer if I sit the steamer on top of it for a few before I mop it. It usually comes right off. But, it does take some effort. The straps that hold the steamer over your shoulder while you mop is a bit akward. You've got to hold the steamer with one hand (pressing the steamer lever too) while mopping with the mop in the other hand. It would have made more sense to put a lever on the mop so you could have one hand free to help your other hand mop the floor. But that is my humble opinion.

- I had a leak in the back of my fridge and when I pulled the fridge out there was all this syrupy goo stuck on the floor. I mean, who knows how long that was there. We've only been in the house for a year and that goo could have been there forever. It would have taken me at least an hour to clean that icky goo off with the cramped space that I had available to me to move about in, but with the steamer, I was able to get it clean in 15 minutes. Yes, it took some muscle work though. I used the mop attachment, attached a towel to it and steamed it for a good while. then I mopped hard in that area. After I was done, the floor looked good as new.

I also noticed that my son's and husband's asthma improved some.

With the steamer, I was not able to:

- Get all the oil grease off the stove fan (whatever you call it). I mention this because that was one of the things that they showed could be done so easily.

- It is very hard to clean the BBQ grill that I have with the steamer. I don't have a stainless steel BBQ grill so I can't use the stainless steel attachment that is provided. The plastic scrub attachment is weak. Lots of scrubbing.

- Get water stains off of the bathtub. And as far as the bathtub is concerned, it seems that the steamer is only good for removing the soap scum buildup.

- Clean the inside of the toilet. I've not been able to get the rings off from within the toilet. And do I really want to put my steamer head in my toilet? Seems gross to me.

- Clean my mirrors. I guess maybe this is user error. Maybe I'm using too much steam, but I get too much steam and water on the mirror.

- Remove odors (when using their cleaning solution). It just doesn't work. Sorry Monster 1200 guys.

- The steamer is not ready to go in 20 seconds (is that what they say?). I recall it being a very small amount of time. It takes about 2 minutes for the steamer to be fully ready to go.

All in all, I like using it for steam purposes only. Not for the cleaning action. I love the power of the steam that comes out of it. And yes, the steam strength lasts up until the end when you need to refill it again. I had some experiences with it leaking but discovered that it was because I didn't attach the reservoir on properly. If it's on properly, then it shouldn't leak. Some drops do drip out of the nozzle but I noticed that on the infomercial too.

I do have to tell you though that I've burned myself on it every time I have used it. No matter how careful I am, it never fails. I've burned myself by trying to wipe something while steaming at the same time (smart, yah, I know). I've burned myself while unscrewing the cap to pour in more water (the metal screw on the cap is hot!). It only took me one time to realize that I should unscrew the cap with a towel. Most of the time, I've burned myself when refilling water while it was hot after it has run out. If you pour too rapidly steam and hot little drops of water will blow out of the top like an angry volcano and the spray will burn everything that it touches. I've burned myself when removing/adjusting attachments that were just used. There are a myriad of ways to burn yourself. I'm sure that most of my experiences are because of my natural clumsiness but just thought I'd share for those who care.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steam Cleaning with Monster 1200, December 28, 2008

By 

Clean Queen "Nanz" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Monster 1200 Heavy-Duty Handheld Steam Cleaner (Kitchen)

This steamer did fine for what I wanted. Basically a cleaner kitchen and bathroom. You do have to use a lot of elbow grease to clean away built up hard water deposits and soap scum but it seemed easier after steaming it loose. Worked great on kitchen faucet and stainless sink.I wanted my tub/shower door tracks clean and it was a huge improvement.
I loved the attachment and cloth cover and steam cleaned my couch and cushions. It even cleaned up the stain the dog left chewing her bone on the couch. It also is good for spot cleaning tile floors.

What I didn't like was continually refilling the water reservoir. As noted by others,the top cap does let the steam escape and I did burn myself a few times contrary to the informercial. Maybe I am not using it correctly but I can't get a tight fit. Regardless, for my uses it is fine. Also, the sanitizing solution does go quickly if you constantly use it. Steaming alone does kill germs and if you use a spray sanitzing cleaner too it serves the same purpose. I won't be buying refills of the sanitzier. For what I paid for the unit I am satisifed. I don't think I would have been if I paid full price from the informercial.

I received this steamer last week.Cleaned my oven and fridge-the machine did a great job.Today I started to clean the bathroom,but when I plugged it in,steam started coming out from around the cap.I let it completely cool,carefully removed and replaced the cap,plugged it in and the same thing happened.When I removed the cap for the THIRD time,I noticed tiny pieces of metal coming off from around the hole that leads into the water tank and the pressure cap.Looks like the threads on the cap are stripped!WONDERFUL-I've tossed out all paper work.I've e-mailed the company-now we'll see if I've just thrown the perchase price for this darn thing down the toilet!
