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.

Great floor cleaner easy to use. Dries quickly but be careful this model doesn’t take the freshener liquids

This steamer cleans really well with a strong steam setting—perfect for marble, porcelain, and wood floors. It leaves a few streaks and isn’t ideal for carpets, but for hard floors, it’s powerful, effective, and easy to use.

I think I expected this to deliver a sparkling clean house as promised by other reviews. It does well at cleaning limescale and grout although not as good as I expected. I got this on an offer so it’s ok for what I paid but I don’t think it’s worth its full price.

It’s ok. So it’s very light, which for many is a good thing. However because it is so light it tends to fall over very easily. It gets into corners which previous mop didn’t due to design. The removable water container is great to be able to fill it up instead of trying to get the whole thing under the tap. Heats up quickly. As a whole it’s good but never cleans as good as cleaning by hand.

I have previously bought a Thane H20 steam mop which stopped creating steam after only a couple of uses, I took it back and was given a replacement which did not work as soon as I plugged it in (it also looked liked someone had returned it) so was also returned. I have since had a dirt devil steam mop which also stopped working after a few uses, so I decided to spend time looking through reviews to find a better steam cleaner. I saw this one which everyone had given 5 stars so decided to purchase with a 4 year breakdown cover. I have received it today and set it up, I am so disappointed as it looked like a brilliant cleaning gadget and I would've been able to throw out the mop and bucket, however it did not create any steam when set up as a mop, it just leaked water all over the floor which I had to mop up the traditional way. I tried it as a handheld to try and get it going but it made a very poor attempt to create any steam and again dripped water all over the floor/kitchen units. I will be returning this tomorrow as well as the breakdown cover. I will just have to stick to the old fashioned way of cleaning. Very disappointed :(

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

Molto leggero e maneggevole, pulisce a fondo grazie al vapore potente. Facile da usare e pratico, ottimo acquisto!

Facile à utiliser et efficace.

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
