What we like about Polti Vaporetto Smart 100 B

  • Unlimited operating time due to a continuous auto-refill water tank system
  • Heats up quickly, ready to use within 2 to 4 minutes
  • Large and easily removable 2-liter transparent water tank
  • Powerful 4-bar steam pressure that effectively dissolves grease and grime
  • Highly versatile with a wide range of included multi-surface accessories
  • Lightweight floor head and long reach make it easy to clean walls and floors
  • Excellent steam flow control dial for matching different floor sensitivities
  • Chemical-free cleaning that sanitizes and eliminates odors naturally

What we don't like about Polti Vaporetto Smart 100 B

  • Steam control dial lacks clear increments or notches to indicate exact levels
  • Emits excess water and becomes quite noisy at the maximum steam setting
  • Lacks an integrated cable reel or proper built-in cable tidy system
  • Connecting extension pipes can get uncomfortably hot during extended use
  • Holding down the manual steam button continuously can cause hand fatigue
  • Included microfiber mopping pads are thin and tend to wear out quickly
  • Bulky cylinder design is inconvenient for smaller, quick cleanup jobs
  • Leaks excessive water when using the window squeegee attachment

Verdict

The Polti Vaporetto Smart 100_B is a canister-style steam cleaner operating at 1500 watts of power and generating a robust 4-bar steam pressure with an adjustable output up to 110 g/min. Key characteristics and pros include its rapid 2-minute heat-up time, an auto-refill system with a removable 2-litre transparent water tank for unlimited autonomy, a polygonal Vaporforce floor brush, and a multi-surface accessory kit that eliminates up to 99.99% of germs and bacteria without chemicals. However, notable cons include its potential to emit excess water and produce significant noise when operated at maximum steam settings, alongside a relatively short 4-metre power cord that limits its overall cleaning reach.
