Polti Vaporetto Smart 100_B Steam Cleaner, Unlimited Autonomy, High Pressure Boiler 4 Bar, 9 Accessories

oh my goodness I never knew how dirty my house was! Gloss kitchen units back to like new, radiators again like new, floor so clean you could eat your dinner off it and don’t even get me started on windows and mirrors! It is so flexible having a long hose and cable, 2 extensions poles to reach higher up, it’s light, built well isn’t too big and it’s easy to store. I does leave some water behind it especially on low steam settings, but who the hell cares when it gives everything a really good deep clean. Having all the different attachments gives it real functionality, it’s just brilliant, well worth buying a multifunctional steamer rather than individual items which only steam specific things like clothes or floors. Love love love it, would highly recommend!

I had a Kärcher before and after only a couple of years the spiral hose tore at both ends and it didn't feel safe. The way the hose attaches in the Polti is much less prone to such wear and tear. The only drawback to the Polti is that what it calls a brush isn't really a brush. It's just the part you attach the cloth pad to; so you give the floor more of a wipe than a scrub. However the shape of that "brush" is very good for getting into all the corners. It's quick to produce steam and very easy to use; so I would recommend it.

Having read the reviews of this product both positive and negative. I invested in this product to view how it functioned on grout, windows and other little crannies that needed to be dealt with.Upon first use , the product did spurt out water which was said to be normal in the manual , after a couple seconds a very strong steam arose which was really amazing! Using this in conjunction wi the window attachment for window tracks was amazing, not only did the dirt loosen from the very edges , I wiped and they looked as good as new! Of course I used my usual cleaning routines before this so it would be bearable to clean but i can’t say I’m dissatisfied!The product itself is effective with the removable water tank which can be refilled between uses, with the water level indicator becoming red to reflect the lack of water in the system.A very good sized water tank with a large capacity annd no need to worry for cooling to refill.Also it is quite heavy so I’d be careful if you’re going up and down stairs!!The only problem I’d say is whenever I use it , before it makes a spurting noise which I’m afraid of , to which I will have to email the company and resolve the issue because it’s a pricey product and you want quality when putting down a lot of money for an investment like this .

easy to use and very efficient

It worked well straight from the box, and initially showed great promise.Unfortunately it only worked for 10-15 minutes before the steam trigger stopped working and, sadly, it had to be returned. I had hoped that problem was a known one and could be fixed, but a phone call to the manufacturer's helpline wasn't much use.My overall impression during that short period was one of ease of use, and cleaning ability.I am now debating whether to get another one (on the basis that two can't go wrong after a few minutes of use) or to get one from a different manufacturer. Decisions, decisions.(And I give a "5" to Amazon for ease of return.)

The first Polti steamer I purchased was in 1980 when I lived in Germany and as they have stopped working I have replaced them. This steam cleaner will be my third machine and is the cheapest, smallest model I have bought from Polti yet. Although this steamer is smaller than some of their other models it cleans as well as the more powerful models I have used. A plus with this machine is you can top up with water as you clean with no need to wait until machine depressurises, heat up time for 'ready to steam' is quick and steam pressure easily adjusted. It is a light machine compared to other Polti steamers and easily moved around behind you as you clean, steam pipe very flexible so makes getting into awkward places just that little bit more easy and the shaped head works well following skirting boards and getting into the corners. Reading some reviews I would like to point out that this is a steamer which refreshes carpets, removes surface stains, helps to lift dirt to the surface of the carpet but is not the deep clean type of carpet cleaner with rollers which spray water and soak the carpet. It does not vacuum up after itself as a traditional carpet cleaner, you have to do this yourself, however as it only 'steams' carpet and not saturates it with water/cleaning fluid there is no need to suck up any excess water. After using the steamer the house smells fresh and clean without having to use any fake smelling cleaning materials. This steamer can be used all around the house for cleaning and is great for refreshing mattresses, the high steam temperature kills off those 'nasties' which we are always being told about which live in our bedding. A great cleaner for asthma sufferers as it kills mites, removes dust and pollen all without using cleaning materials. People have commented that there is no 'cable tidy', I have never had a cable tidy on any of my previous machines, but you can gather up the cable and tie up with a velcro tie which is attached to it. I store my machine in a plastic storage box with all the parts so not an issue. Overall a great small machine at a great price which does the same job as Polti's more expensive models.

I'm just trying out my new Polti Vaporetto and it is powerful and cleaning paintwork well. BUT I am absolutely baffled by the tiny brushes and one large sockette that doesn't fit - and now instructions on fitting. I'm assuming this is either a mistake or a big design error
