Polti Vaporetto Smart Mop

I purchased this despite the fact that it didn't have many reviews because I saw it recommended on a site for bed bugs. First off, if you're looking for a steam mop - then this will do the job. If you're looking for a heavy-duty steamer with lots of high heat - look elsewhere.It does not maintain the 212 degrees needed to kill bugs instantly (even though their fact sheet for bed bugs says it does). I used my thermal point and shoot thermometer with different attachments, in different conditions, etc. The steam temperature was inconsistent (as was the pressure). In some instances, the steam was barely above 100 degrees (I understand that the tank reaches a much higher temperature, but something happens to it from there to the tip of the nozzle). When I used this on a mattress (using the recommended attachment) and going so slow my arm hurt later, the bed bugs laughed and kept on about their merry way. Some of them I shot directly with the heat for 30 seconds or more multiple times. Nothing.2nd issue: it sprays water everywhere when starting the steamer and certain attachments drip water while using them and become soaked (and soak everything else in the process).3rd issue: It does not last for a full hour as the literature states.4th issue: You can't tell how much water is in the tank. It is very precise in that it can only hold 54 ounces. Let's say it's completely empty and you put in 54 ounces, work for a while and decide to shut it off and come back later. How much water is left? How much longer will it go? You have no idea because there is no gauge. Adding to the frustration is that once you start it and use it, you have to wait for the unit to cool off and the pressure to release before you can open the valve and put more water in it. Not a quick process.5th issue: It does not heat up in 8 minutes. More like 20 minutes.Disappointed. Would not recommend.

I had an earlier versions of this Polti that lasted years before it but the big one. I did a bit of looking around at multi-purpose steamers before deciding that I would purchase another Polti. Once again, this is a quality steamer! You can clean anything you can think of with this machine. I love that it has a huge water tank—we just built a home with almost all tile flooring, and I can steam clean the great room without refilling. The floors come out squeaky clean with no streaks. I can sanitize an entire bathroom from top to bottom using less than one tank of water—and let’s be honest, if you have boys in your household, you NEED a steamer in your life for around the toilet. 100% worth every penny.

Love love love. It's so great for cleaning just about anything. You do have to let the water spray out for about 45 seconds to a minute to get started but besides that it works amazing.

This is a great steam cleaner as long as you have reasonable expectations. I use it to clean everything. Yes, sometimes it spits at first but only til the steam gets going. I always have a rag on hand to absorb the initial spitting. Mopping with it not my favorite use as the mopping attachments must be used with some care. Holds about 25 oz. of water and lasts a reasonable length of time. There is a long wait to cool down before refilling, but that’s for safety. All in all better quality than others steamers. Definitely recommend.

Sent this back because it didn’t work and stilll haven’t got money back from amazon

Steam clean my mattress and box spring. Couch, etc. Worked great!! I wish I had this 30 years ago. Excellent product for the $.

I used it to clean my walls befor paint, I have used it to steam my sofa and my car. I am happy with my purchase.

The steam option comes out with excessive water initially, takes awhile to heat and if you use all the water you have to wait for it to cool before filling the tank again. Overall, it’s a good quality machine, continuous steam, once heated. Steam cleaning in general is not as easy as it looks. Far more time-consuming than I thought.

This vaporetto changed the color of my floors!!!! I am very happy with it!

This product is strong and is very worth the price. Fantastic steamer!

I did not like the product because the steam never got hot enough for the job.

It is easy to use. It is great in furniture and floors

Like how it works, but not hot enough

It was exactly as advertised. Works well, just wish the fill hole was in a different position, or there was a reservoir fullness indicator.

I use it primarily for my tile floors. Does a good job. Be careful not to hold the steam too long on the grout because it gets a tad soft.
