Polti offers a very complete range of steam cleaners under the Vaporetto series. The SV450 Double model comes with 13 accessories that allow it to clean different surfaces and convert into a handheld cleaner.
The Polti Vaporetto SV450 Double is not only quick to heat up, but also very efficient. It’s one of the few cleaners to remove all stains from our tests, and in a short amount of time. The possibility of transforming it into a “hand-held” cleaner in two stages and three movements is also very significant. In short, there is not much to complain about this steam cleaner, except perhaps that its cable does not offer it a wide field of action. For 149 €, the quality/price ratio of the Vaporetto SV450 Double is undoubtedly very good.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
With its SC2 Upright Easyfix, Kärcher fulfills its mission to offer a practical, handy, fast steam mop that has the merit of cleaning effectively, even more effectively than the Shark S6003EU offered at the same price. This does not, however, match the performance of an FC 7 which, with its four rollers, provides washing performance a notch above.
