Polti Vaporetto 2400

Well it certainly steams, but I'm not too sure of the cleaning bit. Read on The Test: - Single bloke's house I initially bought the cleaner to put a bit of life back in to the carpets and anything else was a bonus. My first concern before purchasing the cleaner was the difference between a carpet cleaner and a steam cleaner. After reading some reviews and assurances from the sales bloke that what the carpet cleaner could do, the steam cleaner could do just as well, and more, I bought one for £305. For what is little more than a pressure cooker on wheels, I am disappointed with the value for money aspect. I would have liked to spend that ...  Read the complete review

My first introduction to the Polti Vaparetto was at Downtown Superstore, Grantham. Lincs. I was having a browse around and came across a demonstration of this steam cleaner. This machine cleaned everything imaginable and it was all done by steam with no addition of detergents and chemicals , thus sterilising as you go. When the lady demonstrator got to the ironing part she was suddenly enveloped in clouds of billowing steam and when it came to ironing shirts, she just hung them on a hanger and pointed the iron at them and, viola, creases dropped out as if by magic. I am a demonstrator's dream as I only have to look and I see, ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Polti steam cleaner for some time now and I would not like to be without it. Polti are the main manufacturers of small steam cleaning appliances, their headquarters are in Como Northern Italy. At first glance it looks like a vacuum but it does different tasks and you will still need a vacuum.

It produces dry steam at a temperature of 120 degrees centigrade, and this kills germs, bacteria, dust mites and fleas. It also deodorises as it cleans. It comes with various ...  Read the complete review

I would not be without my Polti Vaporetto 2400 now that I've had it for almost seven years and it has never let me down. To be honest my Mum and I bought it between us as it was a 'considered purchase' for £299 so we decided to share the cost. I ordered my 'litle red friend' from Ideal World when it was the Pick of the Day and got a good deal as John Lewis had it at the same time for £349. The demo on TV was very comprehensive - 'Steamy Sue' is very good at explaining - so when the Polti arrived I didn't watch the video that came with it - I just got started! Included in the box were the following - The red machine ...  Read the complete review

I could never be accused of being house proud and I'm not famed for my tidy nature but when a visitor of mine threw up over one of my carpets I had no option but to get my carpets cleaned. In my defence I should say here that I do have a cleaner every week so the house does get cleaned - but not by me :-) Having received several quotations from companies who thought that a large house meant a large profit for them, not a large mortgage for me, I decided it would eventually be more cost effective to buy a carpet cleaner and be done with it. I had no intention if using it myself, but was going to ask my friend to clean the carpets as penance ...  Read the complete review
