Advantages: Cleans and sanitises using tap water converted into dry steam

Disadvantages: Holding button on handle can cause your hand to ache

I have had my Polti Vaporetto steam cleaner for two years now and I really don’t know why I waited so long to buy one. My husband had been gong on about how good he thought they were for quiet a while but I thought they seemed rather expensive at over £300 but I eventually gave in and we bought the Polti Vaporetto Eco Pro 3000.

Our Polti Vaporetto steam cleaner holds two and a half litres of water and takes about ten minutes to heat up ready for use, once the tank is full and you get started cleaning the water in the tank lasts about two hours.

The Polti has an attachment for cleaning windows and because all we are using on the windows is dry steam we are left with sparkling windows with no streaks. It cuts through even the most burnt on grease in the kitchen leaving the work surface and units squeaky clean and my oven like new. The bathroom fittings sparkle and the grout between the tiles looks as if it has just been done.

We use our Polti to clean all the carpets, three-piece suite and mattresses on a regular basis, everything is dry within an hour and the dry steam kills all the dust mites.

There is an attachment to clean behind radiators that can also be used for cleaning car engines. My husband cleans the inside of our cars regularly with the Polti and they look as if they have been professionally cleaned.

You can buy an attachment for removing wallpaper but we have just stripped the wallpaper off our sitting room using one of the attachments included with no effort at all and are now ready to redecorate in less than half the usual time it takes us.

We use our Polti to steam clean clothes that have to be dry-cleaned and we have always been pleased with the result. To be honest the Polti Vaporetto steam cleaner cleans just about everything and anything in and around the house.

The initial outlay for our Polti was around £330 and this included a concentrator nozzle, window squeegee, large and
small brush and radiator attachment but during the last two years we have saved in excess of £200 on detergents, probably at least £200 on having our carpets and three-piece suite professionally cleaned and a fair bit of money on dry cleaning bills. We now believe our Polti has paid for itself and we are now actually in debt to it.

We have only one complaint about our Polti Vaporetto steam cleaning and that is when using the Polti you have to hold the button in on the handle at all times, if you have arthritis or any other problems with gripping things this can make your hand ache. We understand this is for safety reasons, if there was a locking device on the handle you could accidentally leave the steam on and although the steam is cool at about six inches away from the attachment it is over one hundred degrees at the point of exit and therefore this could be dangerous.

On the whole we have found the Polti Vaporetto does any job with ease, it cleans and sanitises, saves money on household detergents and is ecologically friendly because you are using pure dry steam and not adding any pollutants to the atmosphere or earth. There is no chemical odour after using the Polti, just a really fresh smell. It is money well spent and a real investment.
