– Polti Vaporetto Go Steam Cleaner, 3.5 Bar, 0.75 L Tank, 14 Accessories

Very happy. Plenty of attachments for every job. Heats up quickly and removes dirt very easily. Cleaned our oven and it made easy work of the baked on blackened door.

I had an upright steam mop which broke recently so I thought I'd try this one. It is more powerful than my last one, there seems to be a strong amount of steam coming out. I don't mind the few minute wait for the steam to build up. Initially it spurts water, so I always hold over the sink until the steam comes out. Some of the parts seem a bit weak and flimsy, so I'm worried about how long it will last. The 3 extension hoses can all fit together so you can steam mop a bit like a hoover, however I feel that if you put a small amount of pressure on them they bend quite a bit, so need to be very careful not to break! It isn't as neat as my old upright when going in the cupboard, and it definately leaves my floors quite wet after I've steamed them. I like the floorbrush for going over the carpets as it seems to bring up a lot of dirt, so I usually need to hoover the carpets again after, but at least I know its working. I was impressed with the steam gun and the pressure of steam coming out, it was amazing how much dirt was being blasted from the skirting boards etc! I haven't gotten a chance to use all the accessories (two small children means I usually only get time for the basics!) but the steam pressure is enough to feel like the house is getting a good clean so I'm sure all the accessories will be fine. I have used the shoulder strap but it feels a bit bulky to carry about. Oh, and the handle/lever, which you need to hold in, gets sore on your hands very quickly so i have to wrap a towel round it. Also you only get one floor cloth with it, so if you steam regularly you may need to buy another one, I used a microfibre cloth as an alternative this morning which worked fine, you can clip it in easy enough as long as it is long enough. Overall, I am reasonably satisfied with the Polti. Its saving grace is how strong the steam comes out so it cleans the place well which is what I bought it for. I just wish it was less persnickety, and sturdier. If it came in the form of an upright maybe...

This steamer certainly does what it says! Hot and very strong pressure which you can adjust. Cleans to perfection and very versatile! Worth every penny

This review is for the Polti Go version of this cleaner, there is another version called the Handy, that seems pretty much identical in terms of power, variable steam pressure, attachments, reservoir size (750 ml) etc. The only difference, as far as I can tell, is that the Handy comes with some kind of fragrance dispenser in the handle, as far as I understand it, never having used this model. The Go model does not have that. (There are also several other similar models. Check the Polti website to see which model would suit your needs.) I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and so far it has performed very well. I have cleaned carpets, rugs, a cooker, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge, roller blinds, (in situ) tiles, taps, bath, sinks, vinyl kitchen floor and freshened curtains, plus kitchen utensil containers a stainless steel bread bin kitchen cupboards, doors and paintwork artificial flowers, trainers and defrosted a freezer. It is astonishing how many things this device can clean. It also gets into nooks and crannies, that usual cleaning methods don't get to. Don't be surprised to see gunk coming out of places you thought were already as clean as you could get them using cloths and sprays, especially, cooker knobs and the like. Really bad stains, such as those embedded in a carpet or rug, can sometimes be blasted loose, by holding a cloth at one side of the stain, and by holding the concentrator attachmentat an angle to the stain and blast down into and across the stain towards the cloth, you can blast the stain loose from the carpet and on to the cloth. This technique, takes a little while, to get the knack of but it works very well. Don't blast directly down into the stain but blast into and across it. Again take care, if you are holding the cloth with your other hand, as you will be blasting hot material towards it.. Use a thick cloth. It takes a while to get the hang of it, how much steam to use, how long to leave it on there etc. Most of the time, it is common sense. On delicate materials, such as curtains, turn down the steam dial and use less, plus move over the surface quickly. I actually steamed a dry clean only, pair of lined, lounge curtains, using this method and they came up beautifully and to no harm. DO BE CAREFUL, when first starting the machine, after first heating the water or after having let it stand for a while, as some water will come from the endof the pipe or attachments, when you first press the trigger, before the steam comes through, in a steady stream, so you can aim it at the cloth, to collect this extra water, if you are working on something, you don't want to get over wet. On thick carpets, or tiles, I just used this extra moisture, to help loosen, stubborn grime or stains, before steaming properly, so it was not a problem in those areas, it was a help... On delicate artificial flowers in a vase, I found, that once the steam was up and running clear, a quick half second blast, sweeping quickly across them, cleaned all the dust from all the intricate folds of the petals, obviously leaving it on these for an extended period would damage them. The same with cleaning down doors or cupboards, a quite blast and wipe down with the cloth removes all the grime. The other handy thing, is that you have fresh, clean, hot water, with you all the time, so if you need to, you can spray hot water on the cloth and use it to wipe down. Again BE CAREFUL, if you do this, as the steam is very hot, so it will burn your hand if you are not careful, it will make the cloth very hot too, so exercise care... Another tip, the smaller window cleaning head, comes with what they call a sponge or sock. This is just an elasticated, terry cloth pouch, which turns the window cleaning head into a cleaning pad, very useful for cupboard doors, curtains, clothes, upholstery etc. This can be a little fiddly to fit and remove it gets dirty. You can get spares but I found, that if you get a standard, microfibre cleaning cloth, such as can be found very cheaply, almost anywhere, you can wrap this round the window cleaning head, secure it, by twisting an elastic band around the neck twice, this works just as well and it very quick to remove and attach. When cleaning windows, especially in the cold weather, make sure there is no water in the pipe, as this could cause the windows to crack, don't spray the hot steam at, directly on the window, spray the steam into something near the window, such as a sink and let the steam rise on to the window. If need be, spray across the room a distance away from the window and let the windows steam up or spray from a good distance away from the windows 3 ft or so, to let the windows steam up uniformly and naturally. I usually find, that cleaning something else, automatically causes the windows to steam up, so they get cleaned incidentally, by a quick switch to the window cleaning tool, when I notice it has happened. It has several attachments, which cover nearly every cleaning task. It has 8 twist on attachments that connect to the multi adapter, which also serves as a short lance and steam concentrator, for various medium to tough jobs and gives you a little more reach, than the steam gun on its own. Also includes a spatula, grout cleaning brush, wire bristle brush for really tough jobs and an an angled, even finer steam concentrator blaster, for round the base of taps and fiddly jobs like that. You will be amazed what junk falls out of your tap water outlets, if you give them a blast, with this tool, also deblocks your shower head and restores full water flow, almost instantaneously. It has a carry strap, which allows you to carry it around leaving both your hands free if you wish. The tube extenders are click in, press to release and come in three sections. This can make it feel a little over flexible and make you wonder if it's liable to break, especially when you sweep the floor/carpet brush, from side to side. I discovered, the trick is, to let the steam and stiff brush bristles, do the work. DON'T press into the floor/carpet/rug too hard. Alternatively sweep from one direction, then change position, and sweep at right angles across the area, just covered. You can also, one, two, or all three of the tube extenders individually or in combination with each other, to reach particular areas, to which they are best suited. I cleaned my rug by first running the uncovered stiff brush over it first, while releasing steam, to loosen the dirt, then ran over it again after attaching the cleaning cloth. Did a great job, the stiff brush, dug out and gathered up, all sort of debris, that must have been hiding in the carpet pile for years. The cloth attaches by plastic teeth, on a separate springed lever, on either side of the head. The supplied one, does tend to hang a bit loose but once it is on the floor or carpet, the bristles keep it in place and this doesn't seem to affect, it cleaning ability. Again DON'T press too hard, let the steam do the work. If you constantly pour out steam at the top pressure, you will get around 20 minutes - half an hour of cleaning. If you use it, as it probably more usual, intermittently steaming and wiping/sweeping in between, you will get 50 minutes - 1 hour of cleaning. You tend to clean more than you expected, in a shorter time than you expected, because you can clean so many things with it, just by changing a nozzle and it also cleans many things, much faster, than other methods do. For example. I cleaned the fridge, when I finished, I had loads of steam left, so I cleaned the kitchen floor as well.. The windows steamed up so, I did them as well All the connectors, are kept in the base underneath the cleaner, so are with you all the time and you don't have to hunt round for them. The base releases with a tab lever press and clicks back in by inserting the narrow end first and lowering the back into the cavity. Very easy, when you get the hang of it. My advice, would be to watch a couple of you tube videos on this machine, read the manual properly and put in a little practise with it, you will be very pleased with the results it achieves, I think. So far I am delighted with this device and though it took a few goes to get the hang of so far, it is working, extremely well.. It does take a while to cool down, before you can refill it but you have usually done so much cleaning by then, you generally want to have sit down, survey your handywork and have a cup of tea while you wait. It doesn't take that long. It has a safety device, that won't allow the filler cap too open, while it is under pressure. To assist in refilling quickly, if you need to. When the steam has stopped working, wait a few seconds and then press the steam trigger, ensuring that there is no more steam being released by the machine and that there is no pressure left in the tank. Then give it a few minutes to cool down, check that the indicator button on the cap, is signifying that the cap can be opened (it should be in the fully down position) and open the filler cap with a cloth, just to be safe, as any air and possible remnants of steam in the tank will be hot. Then refill with the funnel and jug as normal. DON'T leave the funnel resting, inserted in the opening of the hot tank, as this may damage it. That's about it for this review. I can't speak for the reliability or longevity of this machine, as I haven't had it long enough but hopefully, this might have helped someone out there, to decide, whether they want to give one a try or not. I found it to be excellent so far. Quick added tip..I discovered after a few weeks use.. When jet blasting a stubborn, ground in carpet stain, using the lance or steam concentration nozzle, held at a steep angle. You can put a cloth on one of the cleaning heads, even using a section of extension tube, to aid in holding it in position if required and place it at the opposite side of the stain from where you are jet blasting, this keeps your hand safe from accidental harming with hot steam.. In the videos on YouTube, the demonstrator of this technique, is holding the cloth in their hand. This method is much safer and you can hold the cloth much closer to the stain..

Never again will I buy this Italian rubbish. Cheap plastic was used. It was difficult even for my son to get the attachments on and off let alone myself being able to do it. Either there was so little plastic used or maybe it was badly made. Then the handle started leaking. Then the plastic coating came away from the lead and steam escaped from several places making it dangerous to use. Only lasted about a year. My advice is don’t waste your money on this particular one. I’m looking to buy a Dupray or Karcher at the moment but can’t decide. Taking my time, don’t want to make another expensive mistake.

This is an excellent piece of kit, there is a weak point where the floor cleaning attachment attaches, however, we have to remember the idea is not to put pressure on the apparatus but allow the steam to do the cleaning. Overall I am really pleased with this and the larger tank is great too means cleaning more without refilling. I also like the way it will not allow you to open up the tank until it cools very good safety feature. I have one of the new big Vax currently being advertised, I just wish I had purchased this before that because if I had I would not have bought the Vax as it's heavy and I can barely lift it up the stairs and to be honest this small machine cleans as good as my new Vax and it does more and takes up less space. Comes with an excellent range of tools which all fit into their own designated space in the base so change one and put the other away immediately, very neat very compact I really like this machine and I waited a while to use it several times before giving my review and my impressions of it have not changed (only for the better). I would recommend this and very pleased with it. Good fast delivery too and easy to follow instructions overall Very good.

The product is well made and includes useful accesories. I used it irregularly (3-4 times a year) for deep cleaning and these occassions lasted several hours. Overall it seems a quality product and it performed well and was easy to use and met my expectations for a steam cleaner. Unfortunately it stopped working after 4 years. Now when it is plugged in to the power it trips the power circuit. I suspect the heating element has failed. I expected it would be easily repaired like a oven element or kettle element but this is not the case. For safety reasons repairing an item designed to produce high pressure steam has to be carried out by someone with the relevent experience, skills and tools to verify it "pressure" tests safely and this should exclude most home DIYers or local repair shop options. I contacted Polti UK for help and they were unable to repair it themselves, or provide details of anyone who could. Overall they did not care and expected it to be scrapped. I am not annoyed that the element failed. I would have wanted it to last longer given the lack of use but I expected it to fail at some point. I found the after-sales support from the manufacture to be inadequate for a product marketed as "premium", and it is disapointing that the device has to be scrapped for what is likley to be a £10 part.

I've only used it for a day now, but it looks like a well-built product, and it comes with lots of accessories. I've seen a video on YouTube in which the refill cap leaks steam, but mine was 100% fine in my first test. It seems like the problem has been fixed -- or perhaps the person in that video was just unlucky. However, don't expect this machine to melt grease and grime away like a blow torch would do to ice or like you see in the product's videos. You probably need a much more powerful machine for that. Tried it inside the toilet bowl (just steam, no scrubbing) and it hardly did anything. Tried it on the bath tub and it didn't do a lot either. Tried it on my filthy bicycle chainstays and it did do something, but it did a lot less than a rag and some degreaser did a few minutes later without the hassle of plugs, cables, refills, or waiting for the water to get hot. You get a few seconds -- three to five -- of a reasonably-strong steam jet, and then you have to wait 20 or 30 seconds for the machine to re-heat the water and catch up. You can't ask a lot more than that for 50 quid (that's what I paid for it in 2021). For this price, it's probably worth it, but I wouldn't pay a lot more than that. I'd rather pay double for a machine with double the power and double the capacity, but even Polti's more powerful models only come with 1,800-watt heaters (compared to 1,500 watts for the Vaporetto). I think it's an interesting gadget, but a bit on the wimpy side. I may find some use for it in the future, but I don't think I'll be using it a lot as a cleaner.

No puedo utilizar la vaporeta porque vienen las instrucciones solamente en inglés, he intentado buscarlas en español y no las encuentro

Comme sur le descriptif mais la prise est anglaise, j’ai dû acheté un adaptateur de prise française. Cela aurait été cool d’être mise au courant avant de commander. Mais à part cela, il fait son boulot et j’en suis contente.

Arrivato nei tempi stabiliti ottimo prodotto super soddisfatti , consiglio assolutamente.

Ich habe es leider nach Monaten erst heute ausgepackt und war sehr enttäuscht. Der Stecker ist ein ausländischer Stecker und passt nicht in normale deutsche Steckdosen. Das wurde vorher nirgends klar angegeben. Ohne Adapter ist das Gerät hier also gar nicht nutzbar. Sehr schade, denn an sich wirkt das Produkt hochwertig – aber so ist es für mich völlig unpraktisch.

This was not as described in the reviews. I was so disappointed with this product. I was hoping it was going to make life easier for me. Terrible machine, just spits water everywhere. End up having twice the work now.
