Verdict

The Polti Vaporetto Smart 120 is a corded cylinder steam cleaner featuring a 1500-watt high-pressure stainless steel boiler that delivers up to 4 bars of pressure and an adjustable steam output reaching 110 g/min, allowing it to eliminate 99.99% of viruses, germs, and bacteria. Key pros include a rapid 2-minute heat-up time, an out-of-water indicator signal, and a large, removable 2-litre water tank that provides unlimited cleaning autonomy by allowing users to refill it continuously without waiting for the machine to cool down, all complemented by 14 specialized accessories (including a Vaporforce brush and 3 floor cloths) and a practical 7.5-meter operating reach. However, noted cons include its somewhat bulky cylinder design, a substantial total weight of 5 kg that makes carrying it up stairs less convenient, and the fact that its powerful steam output can leave hard floors quite wet, leading to slightly longer drying times.
