What we like about Polti Vaporetto Lecoaspira FAV20

  • Versatile 2-in-1 system: Combines steam cleaning and vacuuming in one, allowing for simultaneous cleaning and drying
  • Effective sanitization: High-pressure 3.5 bar steam dissolves dirt and eliminates germs, bacteria, and mites without chemicals
  • Water filtration system: Uses an eco-active water filter to trap dust and dirt, avoiding the need for paper bags
  • Effective on multiple surfaces: Suitable for floors, tiles, carpets, sofas, glass, and bathroom fittings
  • Excellent for tough stains: Capable of removing old stains from carpets and degreasing surfaces

What we don't like about Polti Vaporetto Lecoaspira FAV20

  • Poor customer service: Many users report frustration with, or non-existent, support from the manufacturer
  • Reliability issues: Some users report units breaking within 12–24 months
  • Bulky design: The unit is heavy and large to store
  • Long assembly/prep: Requires assembly of components and the water filter needs cleaning after use

Verdict

The Polti Vaporetto Lecoaspira FAV20 is an integrated dual-cleaning appliance that combines a 3.5 bar high-pressure steam cleaner with a 160 AW water-filtration bagless vacuum cleaner to naturally sanitize surfaces without chemicals. Operating at a total power of 2200 W (divided equally between a 1100 W motor and a 1100 W Special Extra Alp aluminium alloy boiler), this 8.3 kg unit features a 1.8 L dirt collection tank, a 1.1 L working autonomy water tank capacity, a washable H13 HEPA filter, and an adjustable manual steam output with 5 levels delivering up to 90 g/min. Its main pros include the capability to vacuum both solid and liquid residues simultaneously with steaming, a child-safety steam lock, an out-of-water signal, and 13 versatile included accessories that eliminate up to 99.99% of germs and bacteria. On the downside, it has a notable 11-minute heating time, a relatively heavy operational footprint, a manually adjusted suction control, and lacks the continuous auto-refill technology found in higher-tier models.
