Polti Vaporetto Pro 85_Flexi Steam Cleaner, 4.5 Bar, Vaporflexi Brush, Made in Italy

A great machine easy to set up and it didn’t take hardly anytime to heat up , great that you can top up as you go. Great in kitchens and bathrooms . You can simply refresh any room in the house by simply spraying the steam in the air . Powerful and efficient cleaning . Stop using all those cleaning products and destroy bacteria with the power of steam

This Polti is a replacement for an older model which I have had for years and which gave sterling service. The big advantage with this model is that more water can be added during cleaning, when there is a lot to do. Nothing cleans like my Polti - effective and a pleasure to use..

Really had high hope for this to be great steamerI have used polti 2oyrs ago borrowed freinds andomword the steam power and dirty tackling on that was far superior to this they say made in italy. but looks like they still succumbed to low quality products .they feel cheep plastic not enough power / they changed to head from a brush head to flat usless thing ...i might as well get an upright steam mop they way this is ..water unit is small n just lift up cap every 5 mins had to fill up because i had it on max i have large carpeted house the old brush head use to agitated carpets so made cleaning easyAnd u have to top it up ..on top of that the old units were far better had large tanks n steal scew lids to not open this one u lift it up its just fits in platic cap ...wow very very dissatisfied n disappointed .its not about the money ppl wil pay but just keel the qualty same fr goodness sake ripp of every were so still lookn fr that powerful cleaner

It makes a loud noise at times which my old one didn’t. There is a lack of tools too. I also found that it requires time to reheat very soon after using it. The steam is very strong and does a great job.

I'm a long time user of steam cleaners and currently have the Karcher S3 with numerous attachments.I had several concerns about moving to Polti, but as they are recommended by the Allergy Foundation, I made the leap.1. There is a massive difference between a 3.5 bar and 4.5 bar steamer, it's like the difference between day and night.2. The Polti steam is basically dry and almost cool. It's very differnt from the the Karcher, but that could be the difference in pressure output.3. The floor nozzle is called flexi and it's amazing. It goes under chairs, under tv cabinets, under display cabinets and bookcases, where the Karcher can't get. It's simply brillant design at work.4. The poles and attachments have a white button. One way is to open, slide on the attachment and slide the white button back to lock in place.5. The cable is short on both manufacturers, and i have no idea why. Neither manufacturer give you a means to wind away the cable.6. Both can be constantly refilled, so you don't have to stop.7. The karcher S3 heats up in 30 seconds.. the Polti takes 6 minutes. However, I had to heat the Karcher near the kitchen sink to release the first half a pint of water that dribbles out before its starts to steam. You have to be near a sink, bathroom or front door, to release the fluid, without soaking the floor.If you have dust mite allergies etc, then the Allergy foundation recommends the Polti. The Karcher has been fine for years, but the lower steam 3.5 bar isn't something that you'd go back to after using the 4.5 bar dry steam. The Karcher elasticated towels for the handtool fit the polti, so I'm reusing them on the Polti.
