Exclusive, Dynamic – New Polti products

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

The popularity of steam cleaning is rapidly growing in the UK thanks to a number of different factors, and this means that new steam cleaners are constantly being launched on to the market. Here, at Go-Electrical, we prefer one steam cleaner brand over any other, and that is Polti. Regularly featured on home shopping channels, Polti Steam Cleaners are one of Go-Electrical’s biggest sellers.

Following on from the success of the Evolution and Edition models launched last year, and the newest additions, the Flash and Mop, which were launched in February, Polti are adding two more steam cleaners to their range. Unfortunately, they are also discontinuing some of the existing models, but I wouldn’t be too worried because the new models are so much better.

The Vaporetto Dynamic, and Vaporetto Forever Exclusive will fit nicely into the top of the Polti range. The most expensive of the steam cleaners before reaching the Lecoaspira Steam Vacuum models, these two new additions are perfect for people who have used a steam cleaner before and want to upgrade, or for someone who will use a steam cleaner on a very regular basis for extended periods of time.

The two models are robost in design, and have very similar specifications, but the thing that sets the Vaporetto Forever Exclusive apart from all the other Polti steam cleaners is that it features a continuous refill function (indicated by the ‘Forever’ part in its name), just like some of the Lecoaspira models. This means no more waiting for the water tank to depressurise before being able to refill, so you can just keep going with your cleaning tasks. This feature is a real time-saver, believe me!

More new additions to the Polti range

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Polti has added two new products to their already extensive range of steam cleaners. If it wasn’t hard to choose before, it may be now!

The Vaporetto Flash fits in to the existing range above the Vaporetto 950, but below the Italian models (such as the Evolution and 2400). It comes with enough accessories for many different jobs around the home, and will be a good all rounder as it produces a brilliant 4.5 bar of steam pressure and the steam output is adjustable.

The new Vaporetto Mop looks similar to other floor cleaners that available.

      Clean your act up for the New Year

      Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

      Every January we make resolutions that we promise to keep, and two weeks in to the new year the majority of people have already broken or are on the verge of giving up. Whether it be laziness or lack of belief it happens time and time again. Well, this year I am more determined than ever to keep my resolutions (at least past Valentine’s Day anyway), and Polti are going to help me with one of them.

      Resolution: To clean the bathroom at least once a week

      I don’t know about you, but I hate cleaning the bathroom – I hate it more than I hate cleaning the oven. It is a task that I try and put off as much as possible, or until the sink becomes so coated in toothpaste that it is no longer white but blue. So, I have decided that enough is enough. I have had enough of the rubber gloves and cream cleaning fluid, and using an old toothbrush on the grouting – I am going to invest in a Polti Steam Cleaner to hopefully banish my bathroom cleaning blues.

      There are 19 different models of steam cleaner in the Polti range – one to suit every budget. All I need to do now is decide which model is best for me…lets take a closer look.

      Under £50:

      Polti Vaporettino Lux steam cleaner

      A compact handheld steam cleaner with a 500ml pressurized boiler which turns 1000W of power into 3 bar of pressure. It has a cord length of 2.58 metres but is only 28.3cm tall so it is very easy to use. As standard it comes with; a brass brush, cloth, steam grout tool, steam lance, steam nozzle, a round brush, steam spatula and a window tool.

      Under £100:

      Polti Vaporetto Comfort steam cleaner

      A small, manoeuvrable steam cleaner on wheels available in red or silver. The boiler volume is 1.6L and creates 3 bar of pressure, and up to 85g of steam per minute. It has onboard accessory storage and as standard comes with; small accessory kit, small accessory adaptor, large brush, small brush adaptor, cloths, extension tubes, filling bottle and funnel, a small brush and a window tool.

      Under £200:

      Polti Vaporetto Evolution steam cleaner

      One of the new additions to the Polti family, the Evolution has a 1.7L capacity and creates 4 bar of pressure, with the capacity to output up to 110g of steam per minute. The cord is 4 metres long and the three wheels allow easy movement around the house. Standard accessories are; an accessory bag, cloths and socks, demo DVD, 120 degree tool, large floor brush, a small brush, a window kit and extension tubes.

      Over £200:

      Polti Vaporetto Eco Pro 3000 Lux steam cleaner

      A larger machine with a 2.9L boiler, 2000W of power and 4 bar of pressure. It comes with a long 5m cord, low water indicator and an automatic cable winder. As standard the Eco Pro 3000 Lux comes with almost every accessory that will every be needed; 120 degree concentrator, accessory bag, cloths and socks, demo DVD, extension hoses, floor brush, pressure lance, small brush, squeegee kit and a triangular brush.

      As I am not quite at the point where I want to steam clean my upholstery or carpets, and having very little storage space, I think I will opt for the handheld Vaporettino Lux cleaner as the grouting tool will definitely make the old toothbrush redundant, and it will hopefully speed up the cleaning time of the most dreaded room in the house.

      What model will you choose to be your new best friend around the house, and deal with those cleaning tasks that you just can’t face? Take a look at the full Polti range at Go-Electrical’s Polti pages.

      New Steam Cleaners from Polti

      Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

      Polti have added two new steam cleaners to their already extensive range, and of course Go-Electrical have them at a really great price!

      The new cleaners are compact (only 34 x 34 x 32.5 in size) and look very cute. The Polti Vaporetto Edition is in a crisp white colour and produces 3.5 bar of pressure and up to 80g of steam per minute. It comes with a large floor brush, a small brush, and extension tubes so you can get steam cleaning right away.

      The Polti Vaporetto Evolution, the bright green cleaner, produces 4 bar of pressure, and up to 110g of steam per minute. It has a little more oomph than the Edition, and it comes with a few more accessories too. Included is the large floor brush, the small brush and the extension tubes as with the Edition, but the Evolution also comes with a 120 degree tool for getting into tight spots and a window cleaning kit, which consists of a great squeegee to really get your windows sparkling clean.

      Apart from the differences pointed out above the two steam cleaners are basically the same – they both have;

      • 4 castors for easy maneuverability
      • A low water level light indicator
      • A steam ready light indicator
      • A parking system for anchoring the brush to the appliance

      Both the Edition and Evolution have a boiler volume of 1.7L, and the maximum power of the machines is 2250W, with the boiler power coming in at 1500W.

      If you are looking for a reliable Polti steam cleaner that is more robust than the Vaporetto 950, the new Edition or Evolution could be the steam cleaner for you.


      Which? Award winner

      Thursday, July 21st, 2011

      Bosch has just been awarded the prestigious WHICH? Award for ‘Best Large Home Appliance Brand for 2011’. This has been awarded in the year that Bosch celebrates turning 125 years old.

      The range of products that Bosch manufactures is truly epic. They manufacture things for the automotive industry, industry and trade as well as the domestic appliances we all know and love, such as irons, vacuums, fridge freezers and power tools. Surprisingly, Bosch even create parts for wind turbines – the powertrains that are driven by the huge rotor blades are manufactured by Bosch. Betcha didn’t know that did you?

      Here at Go-Electrical we have a selection of Bosch products including the new Styline kettles and toasters. The new Styline kettle not only looks great but it uses the latest technology available to provide precise temperature control, so you can get your water at the right temperature for herbal and fruit teas, and different coffees. It also has a great ‘keep warm’ function, which means that there is no need to repeatedly boil the kettle as it maintains the selected water temperature for up to 30 minutes. Great if you live in a household that is addicted to “brews” – less boiling, means less energy used, which in turn saves you money.

      The Styline kettles and toasters are available in black and white (from £56.90)

      There is also a great range of Bosch vacuum cleaners available. These great cylinder vacuums are very reliable, and there are bagless models as well as traditional bag-taking machines. At the moment selected Bosch vacuums are on offer while stock lasts, so why not take a look at what is available? One of the best sellers is the BSG8PRO1GB – It has a top of the range compressor motor, which is guaranteed for 10 years, and it comes with a professional starter pack of accessories to get you up and running as soon as you get it out of the box.

      Polti Steam Irons

      Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

      Polti was established in 1978 by Franco Polti, when he created the Vaporella – the first steam iron with separate boiler for domestic use. With Vaporella, Polti opened up a new market and today Polti sells more than 10 million appliances every year in Europe alone.

      Vaporella meant that households could iron to a professional level because of the super-powerful, ultra-fine jet of steam. The jet was so powerful that it removed every last crease and wrinkle from clothes before the iron soleplate even touched the fabric!

      The original technology that Franco Polti came up with has only been improved on, and the professional results achieved in 1978 are even better today;

      * The holes of Vaporella irons are concentrated at the tip of the plate, and are placed in a certain formation. This design means that the iron is only required to be passed over garmets once, instead of numerous times.

      * The pressure of the dry steam created by the iron, gently infiltrates the materials fibres and effortlessly removes any creases. This powerful dry steam means that it is possible to iron folded sheets or multiple layers of fabric, quickly and effectively. The irons hot sole plate dries the fabric, and ensures that the smoothness created by the steam is fixed.

      * Polti iron soleplates are made from either Aluminium or Ceramic (on the new Focus models). Aluminium is an excellent heat conductor and heat is distributed evenly. This means that clothes are less likely to get damaged by excessive heat, and the iron can be used for extended periods of time. Ceramic is commonly used for hair appliances such as straighteners and curling wands, and it has anti-stick and anti-scratch properties. Again, this kind of soleplate can get to very high temperatures for extended periods, and not damage fabrics.

      *All iron handles are ergonomically designed with comfort in mind. Polti is famous for producing irons with cork handles, and this is because cork is naturally ultra-lightweight and is very insulating so it is safe and comfortable. If they do not have a cork handle, the irons will have a soft-touch handle that is heat resistant and comfortable to grip.

      Go-Electrical is a Polti approved internet retailer, and offers you Polti appliances at some brilliant prices. At the moment the Vaporella Fashion Silver iron, the Vaporella Forever 600 and the Forever 1400 Focus are on sale for unbeatable prices.

      The Fashion Silver has a boiler volume of 1 litre and is capable of producing up to 70g/min of steam and 3.5 bar of pressure. It has the traditional Polti cork handle and aluminium sole plate.

      The Forever 600 has 3 level electronic steam adjustment, and continuous refill feature meaning you can just keep ironing and ironing. It has a soft touch handle, removable water tank and produces up to 100g/min of steam.

      The Forever 1400 Focus is one of the new irons launched earlier this year. It features a ceramic soleplate, a stylish ergonomic soft touch handle and automatic cable winder. It can produce 5 bar of steam pressure and 150g/min of steam. It also has a built in no-calc system and can be continuously refilled.

      Cleanliness is next to Godliness

      Monday, June 20th, 2011

      In the mid 1800s in Michigan, America, a wife complained to her husband about sawdust and dirt getting embedded in their carpets, and that sweeping alone was not enough to get rid of the dirt. The husband went on to design, and construct a carpet-sweeper to make his wife’s life easier. This machine went on to be a massive success, and people were soon asking where they could get one for their own homes. The husband and wife were Melville and Anna Bissell, and the Bissell Carpet Sweeper was patented in 1876.

      Now, ladies, I know you are probably thinking that your husband wouldn’t invent something for you, but that was not the point I wanted to make! Since then, Bissell has grown, and it isn’t just carpet sweepers – there are steam cleaners, combined vacuum and steam machines and lightweight cleaners.

      Bissell has added some new products to their already extensive range, and has called it the ‘Healthy Home’ range. Several of these new products have been given The British Allergy Foundation’s ‘Seal of Approval’, because the deep cleaning achieved is such that dust and mites are eliminated. The deep cleaning technology that these Bissell machines use combines vacuum suction, brushing action, hot water and cleaning solution to clean beyond the surface of your carpet and upholstery.

      The new ‘Healthy Home’ products are;

      • Healthy Home ProHeat 2x upright
      • Healthy Home Fresh Clean upright
      • Healthy Home Simple Clean upright
      • Healthy Home Spot Clean
      • Healthy Home Vacuum
      • Healthy Home Pet Clean

      Depending on your needs, Bissell are bound to have the perfect machine for you whether it is the ‘Healthy Home’ range or not. Take a few minutes to browse the range – http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/brands/bissell.html and keep your home spotlessly clean.

      Premium vacuuming with a premium brand

      The Sebo Airbelt D4 premium vacuum cleaner is incredibly easy to use, and to store away when not in use.

The ergonomic handle houses the new ipower integrated power control, allowing you adjust the vacuums power settings easily and quickly.
