Top quality / price – The Polti SV220 steam cleaner at 87.37 €

The SV220 is Polti’s entry-level steam mop. Thanks to its dimmer and its portable format, the device prides itself on being versatile and multi-surface, while benefiting from a competitive price.

With the SV220, Polti offers a versatile steam cleaner. Its portable format and its power variator allow it to strip all types of surfaces. It comes to the end of all the substances, and this, without wasting time. If its finishes and its tank could be improved, the SV220 is nonetheless a device that perfectly fulfills its sole mission: to clean. It is thus positioned as a serious competitor to the most advanced devices and risks overshadowing them thanks to its more aggressive price placement.

Alternatively

With its Steam Plus, Vileda signs a discreet return to the world of steam cleaners. Its very good maneuverability and its more than correct washing performance make it an interesting device. However, the impractical controls are to be deplored, as is the absence of an anti-limestone filter; which then makes us doubt the life of the device.
