Polti Vaporetto SV440_Double 2- in-1 Steam Mop with Handheld Cleaner, Vaporforce Brush, 11 Accessories

Love it. Lightweight and easy to use. Had no problems putting it together and comes with a good variety of accessories. Ample cord length. Like the option to use as a hand held.

On the whole a very good machine and very effective, and yes I would buy it again despite some of the niggling points. It does clean the hard floors beautifully (better when using a different brand pad though). I have had 3 previous steam cleaners over the last 15 years and would have to say this is the easiest and lightest to use and I am amazed how much direct comes off each time/week (in the first week I used it every day and still got a dirty pad each time!). So, I have waited a few months to add a review, to make sure I had gotten used to it. I would be embarrassed to say how many hours I wasted trying to choose this replacement steamer and how many reviews I read ( a number of which were quite misleading e.g. someone was obviously trying to fill up the water reservoir using the wrong hole!). The Polti website could do with a revamp to make it easier to compare or even filter on features across models, I had to phone up customer services at the end and even they struggled. Plus points: + It cleans the hard floors beautifully + It is very easy to refill and pretty much instantaneous to use directly from the cold tap! Plus you can fill it up and continue using it straight away (some models you have to wait for it to cool down) + There are lots of steam channels in the head (unlike some which only have one that spurts in several directions (Vileda)). You can even see the steam coming out the channels through the translucent purple plastic on top + Despite the grout head being a failure it does appear that the grout is getting cleaner just using the normal steam head (plus I am not sure why it appears I am getting so much dirt off each time, it wasn't so consistently noticeable with my other steamers) + I have cleaned some patches of dirty carpet in the lounge and it same up beautifully + It is very lightweight and easy to set up Comments on other reviews, that have not been an issue: = Holding down the button to get it to steam = Yes it does leave the floors slightly wet if you have it on maximum (what other setting would a girl want to use!). But I think that might be what helps penetrate and clean the grout. = It does stand upright on its own Dislikes: - The pads that attach to the bottom are quite synthetic and short length to the touch, I tried using some from a Vileda steam mop (which are a bit too big - see picture) and I get a lot more dirt off! - The grout head which was the main reason I bought this particular model is a big disappointment there are only a few tufts of bristles and they bend after a very short amount of usage (first 15 minutes without any really pressing). I had a 2 in 1 Shark mop which had a much better grout attachment, unfortunately after a couple of years the unit/button got too hot to be able to use the 2 in 1 element! - The sockette that fits to the glass cleaner is of poor quality and doesn't last long and you only get one and have to phone up polti to buy more - On a previous larger cylinder Polti model, the first I had there was a separate small head triangular shaped cleaning head that worked much better than the awkwardly shaped window cleaner that you use with the sockette - The cord length could be a foot longer which would allow the last bit of cable to fit in the cable holder without having to loop it around halfway (see picture) So yes I would recommend this, but this model could be made so much better with just a few minor changes!

Straight out of the box it looked very flimsy and unsubstantial. It was much lighter than my previous 2 vax steam mops and I thought I had made a mistake in purchasing it. I also discovered that you couldn’t add a cleaning fluid like my previous ones. What I thought was a cleaning fluid option was purely to add a fragrance. The one designed for it is expensive for what it is and according to reviews I read didn’t last very long so I have not bothered in buying it. However, having used it for a few weeks I’m very pleased with its performance. It cleans floors well and doesn’t leave the surface too wet. The design is also very good, there is a scrubber on the heel of the mop head which is easily employed without the need to detach anything, the cord winder is much more sturdy unlike my last Vax one which broke off almost immediately. It’s also much lighter than the vax which I wasn’t keen on at first but I’ve come to appreciate how much more manoeuvrable it is. The power cable is a little short compared with others but is a minor thing and the water reservoir could be a bit bigger but all in all a good product.

Have to say this is such a good product for daily cleaning. The water part is small but I can get 3-4 rooms done with it without stopping. Just be careful with setting high on wooden floors as it left a mark on one of mine (which was my fault really as instructions do say put to medium). It gives a lovely streak free shine and takes away most dirt. The wire is lovely and long so you can reach far. The handheld part is a bit of work to set up but it has lots of parts to do showers, corners, couch etc. Really happy with this.

The main mop just was put to pieces in 3 months. Replaced the mop head, it stopped working in 3 months again. When tried to use different attachments stopped producing steam

This multipurpose steam cleaner does the job, but I found it wasn’t very stable, especially when using it as a hand held steamer, rather than floor/carpet cleaner and only worked for little more than a year. It was always falling over even in floor cleaning mode and you have to be super careful putting it down between sprays when using it as a hand held steam cleaner. It also requires fairly expensive filters, which I discovered the manufacturers say should be replaced regularly, depending on use and type of water. We live in a soft water area and it was not heavily used. The steam cleaner itself was on the expensive side too, so when it broke down days before Christmas 2025 having lasted just over a year, I ordered some replacement filters in the hope that was the problem. Disappointingly, that didn’t resolve the issue, so all in all I don’t think this steam cleaner represents good value for money.

My Vacs steamer has just given up the ghost so I was looking for a new one. This is a Which? Best buy, and I can see why. It produces lots of steam for my tiles/stone floors but can be adjusted right down for my wood floors. It is light and easy to manoeuvre and although the water tank is small (much smaller than on my Vacs) I have no problems doing all my floors on one lot of water. I have had a go with one of the steam tools to do bathroom sink and loo and those work well too, but I primarily bought it for doing floors. I got it at a very good price, so am a very happy bunny.

A very reasonably priced multi purpose steam cleaner. Having owned a very basic steam mop years ago which didn’t perform very well and broke, I was cautious about purchasing another. I usually choose products on the basis of Which? reviews as they are independent and do rigorous testing. They didn’t rate this model well but I really wanted a reasonably priced steamer and one which would do hard floors and textiles. However, Goodhousekeeping rated this model highly so I took the plunge. So far I haven’t been disappointed. It is a very light and agile foot mop which gets into corners well. It leaves floors clean and sterile but not too wet. Pads wash well and are easy to put on and remove. See through water tank is easily removable for filling and it’s obvious when water is used up. Hole is very small so I recommend using a funnel to fill. There are lots of accessories for all types of cleaning. Tool for sofas and mats is very good and steam jet nozzle also useful. It took a little while to work out how to attach the various tools but once you have done it once it’s easy. Cleaner seems quite sturdy. Cord length is ok. I haven’t needed to use the flexible hose yet but that would increase reach. The only negative point is the fact that steaming requires holding down a lever which might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues in their hands and could cause discomfort for RSI sufferers if used for prolonged periods. I would definitely recommend.

Ottimo prodotto, pulizia pavimenti molto rapida ed efficace. Anche se il serbatoio dell'acqua è poco capiente, la ricarica è velocissima ed in pochissimi secondi è già pronto! Comoda la possibilità di usarlo anche per altri scopi, come pulizia profonda di sanitari, divano etc.. Prezzo ottimo

This is very good cleaner which I use in kitchen, bathroom, on many other surfaces. It cleans some old stains as well.

fonctionne très bien , j'utilise avec unproduit désodorisant à la lavande . Léger, efficace que demander de plus ! Facile de rafraichir mes tapis ! Avant c'était pénible de le faire avec un shampoing, il fallait attendre que ça sèche et terminer avec l'aspirateur. Mon canapé et mes fauteuils ont été nettoyé en un rien de temps et ça sèche vite en aérant votre pièce. Sol carrelé et vinyle sont impeccable ! Je précise que je ne l'utilise que pour rafraichir.

Good machine

Jag har moppat alla mina golv ock fick en chock när jag såg hur moppen såg ut efter att jag bara hade kört köket, nu är hela lgh skinande ren. Den är lätt att manövrera ock man kommer bra in i hörnen och efter listerna. Jag blev väldigt imponerad av hur rent det blev, hur raka och fina mina linne gardiner blev när jag ångade dom med ett mindre munstycke,,, jag har inte kört några speglar men rekommenderar starkt denna maskin, livet blev lite enklare och smidigare Roberta
