I originally bought the upright morphy richards supersteam pro cleaner but soon found it wasn't right for me. The break-away handset was far too heavy and badly weighted and I needed two hands to steady it. , it spluttered steam everywhere and the only thing that I found effective was the limited space it took up for storage. I returned it and decided I needed something where the handheld was much lighter so went for the polti based on reviews and product details. I have only had this for a few days so can only recommend based on my initial experience but I am very pleased with it. Having the handheld function still attached to the main unit is not a problem as the hose is long any easy to manage, the main unit follows well and not having all the weight of a breakaway unit means I can clean away to my heart's content without having my wrists ache. The space behind the ain unit for storing the tools is brilliant and the large water tank means I can carry on for as long as I like without refilling, although with this one you can refill without having to let the unit cool down. My only disappointment and I have to qualify this with stating it applies to every steam cleaner I have seen in my price bracket, is the window attachment, It isn't practical, way too small and the little cotton bag is really to protect your furniture or dog beds, not for windows. It would be great if a manufacturer found a way to mke a viable one but until then, just use your karcher instead. All in all, I am really pleased with this and it's well worth spending that extra to get something that will do the job. My bathrooms have never looked so clean and hygenic. Just to add, I wasn't given this to try in exchange for a review (more's the pity). I chose it after a bad experience with another make & style and paid hard earned money so you can take this review in good faith. Read more

It performs very well and has the added advantage of being usable with a deodorising liquid, creating a clean and nice smelling room. Read more

When I first fired up this nifty steamer, I was utterly gobsmacked by how quickly it heated up and got ready for action. The separate water container is a doddle to use and makes topping up a breeze, even in the middle of a deep clean of my beloved DIY workstation. It’s lightweight and glides along whatever surface you’re dealing with, perfect for when I’m dealing with the aftermath of my daughter's impromptu gatherings. The adjustable steam pressure is perfect for all those nooks and crannies, especially skirting boards and behind radiators. One critique: it’s not a miracle worker for deeply ingrained carpet grime, but it’s brilliant at freshening things up without leaving your floors soggy. A small quibble given how compact and convenient it is, the lack of a cable tidy didn’t bother me much, just velcro it up! Read more

Excellent product. I am so pleased with my new steamer. This machine is easy to use, quick to put together and interchange the attachments to meet the desired cleaning. The water heats up quickly (within 2 mins) and the large tank capacity makes this product one to choose. I bought it when it was on offer and got it a great price. Offering great value for money. Cleaning is now easier and the results are excellent. Read more

Easy to manoeuvre. Has a powerful output. The floorhead is perfectly angled for all floors and corners. Doesn’t soak the floor. Steam output can be regulated. Multipurpose tools. Did an incredible job on clearing the drencher in the wet room. . Grouting gleaming. Cleaning the hob was a doddle. The nozzle made light work of any debris and grease. Huge capacity water tank. There is an option to emit a freshener. Nice. Tools can be kept on board. Very sturdy although would have liked a better feature to park the cable. Probably my the best steamer to date in my 40 years of seeking better. Read more
