The advantages of the Monster 1200 are not as significant as one might believe: The pressure is high enough to remove wrinkles from fabric, but you will not be able to this faster than with an iron. It is great at getting rid of various odors and disinfecting various surfaces.
The disadvantages of the device unfortunately overweigh the advantages, as the device takes a lot of solution and a long time to clean. After you have used the cleaner to clean, and the water runs out, there will be bubbles and cleaning solution that you will to scrub off after you have already cleaned. The pressure of the steam cleaner is not high enough to remove all stains. The weight of the Monster 1200 is just too much, especially if it is filled with water to the maximum. This will give especially women a problem, as the device needs to be carried with one hand. In addition to all this, there have been reports that people have burned their hands when trying to unscrew the cap when trying to pour in more water or solution.
All in all as you can see in this review, there are better devices out there than the Monster 1200. The device is great at disinfecting surfaces or similar jobs but you cannot really use it for cleaning purposes, as the pressure is just too weak.
