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.

  • Pressure switch
  • Stainless steel boiler
  • Safety anti-screw cap
  • Steam ready indicator

The new Vaporetto Mop looks similar to other floor cleaners that available. An upright cleaner that looks similar to an upright vacuum, it features a large floor head which can be used with cotton cloths and also microfibre cloths. The Mop can be constantly refilled so there is no waiting for a boiler to depressurize.

  • Auto-filling system for unlimited operating time
  • Floor brush with velcro strips for microfibre cloth, clips for cotton cloth and anti-shock rubber band

      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.


      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.

      Exciting new Polti products

      Friday, March 11th, 2011

      You are probably already aware that we at Go-Electrical are big fans of Polti steam appliances, so we are very please to be able to introduce some fabulous new additions to the already large Polti family.

      The Vaporetto Comfort replaces the much loved Vaporetto Easy, and, dare we say it, it is even better! We are loving the new stylish design which includes an easy grip handle, and a handy built in storage compartment for the accessories. It is available in two colour options, like the Easy was – red or silver, but the new shades are just so much more appealing.

      It’s not just the way the Comfort looks that has us eager to buy one. The stainless steel boiler has a capacity of 1.6 litres and is a powerful 1800W. The steam is released under a 3 bar of pressure, and because it is so compact it is ideal for smaller homes or people with limited storage space. The perfect starter steam cleaner if you are new to the whole business of steam cleaning.

      Anything that is environmentally friendly is always a winner with us, and Polti steam cleaners also tick that box. The powerful steam technology means that bacteria, dust mites and fungi is killed without the use of potentially harmful chemicals. This will also save you money in the long run – all you really need for the Comfort is water and Kalstop. Gone are the days of having a cupboard full of cleaning products under your kitchen sink. How fantastic is that?!

      Polti have also added four new steam generator irons to their catalogue. We are very impressed with the new Focus range, and we believe you will be too.

      First of all there is the Vaporella 980 Focus, then the Forever 850 Focus, the Forever 1500 Focus and last, but definitely by no means least, the Forever Star Focus. All are continuous refill (meaning the water in the tank can be topped up without having to wait for the boiler to depressurise), and are ready to be used in 3 minutes, but the best thing about these new Focus irons is the soleplate. Why? The soleplate is ceramic (yes, just like GHD hair straighteners girls). This means that the soleplate can get extra hot and not stick to clothes, and it is also anti-scratch – which is good when your ironing over those shirt buttons quickly.

      Our favourite from the Focus range is the Forever Star which has a fantastic electronic control panel and an automatic cable winder. Perfect for fast-paced modern living. The control panel will tell you when the steam is ready, when the water level is getting low, and will cleverly signal when more Kalstop needs to be added to the tank. With 5 bar pressure, a large 1.1 litre tank capacity and a 3 level steam output this iron really does make ironing large amounts so much easier and quicker.

      After all that we hope you now realise why we love Polti products so much!

      It’s that time of year again – Spring Cleaning!

      Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

      Here at Go-Electrical we know how important it is to have a lovely, clean house but we also know that cleaning isn’t necessarily what you want to be doing when the sun is finally beginning to shine again (sshhhh don’t scare it). We have looked through all our cleaning products and found the most effective and the best time saving appliances to help you achieve a spotless home. So whether it is your carpets that you want to deep clean or the grout around your bathroom tiles, have a look at our selection of products and then enjoy the spring sunshine!

      The Polti Vaporetto Pocket is tiny, but doesn’t lack power. It has a shoulder strap so it can be easily carried around the house making it ideal to use in the bathroom, kitchen and even on windows. With the Polti patent Safety cap, and a child lock handle the Vaporetto Pocket is also very safe to use.

      If you have a Dyson you will be well aware of how good the suction and the performance is. Well, there are a range of accessory packs that can be purchased for your Dyson vacuum to get even more from your machine. The Car accessory pack comes with 3 accessories including a small turbine head, and these are ideal for getting in all the nooks and crannies that a normal vacuum tool sometimes fails to reach. Dyson have also created a kit that can be used to clean up after a party, so now you have no excuse not to get all your friends round.

      The Sebo D2 Titan is a brilliant addition to the Sebo range and with a fantastic 2100W turbofan motor, vacuuming is a breeze. It can be used on carpet and hard floors, and if you have pets the D2 Titan will tackle pet hair perfectly. The 5 year domestic use warranty is just an added reason to get one of these great machines.

      We don’t want to bore you – we know how eager you are to get on and clean, so we will make this last one brief. Our favourite Bissell machine at the moment is the ReadyDry carpet washer. Why? We no longer have to wait for hours and hours for carpets to dry anymore – with the ReadyDry your carpets can be dry in 30minutes! Now that’s fast!

      Polti Vaporetto 2400

      Friday, June 25th, 2010

      polti-logo

      At Go-Electrical we sell a great range of Polti products, and they are very popular with our customers because of our brilliant prices and Polti’s reputation of being the steam cleaning kings. Water becomes steam when heated to 97°C, only when heated to 120° or more under high pressure will water produce “neutral” steam that penetrates dirt in the form of a gas rather than a liquid. It is this deep cleaning steam that eliminates bacteria, germs and dust mites.

      We are currently offering the Vaporetto 2400 steam cleaner, a pack of small socks and a pack of large cloths for only £219.90!

      Polti’s Vaporetto 2400 is the ideal steam cleaner for any home, with a 1500W motor and a 3.3 litre capacity stainless steel boiler. The 2400 not only performs well but looks good too- it comes in a lovely deep red colour. The machine is lightweight (it weighs less that 12kg), and is designed so that it is easy to use and maneuver. The 2400 is surprisingly powerful for its size but is big on safety. Polti’s patented ‘No volt’ system allows for steam to be switched off at the handle with no electrical connection and there is also Polti’s patented ‘safety cap’ on the water tank.

      Possibly the best thing about the 2400 is that it is economical and environmentally friendly. Because the cleaning is done by the ‘neutral’ steam there is no need for expensive harmful chemical cleaning products. This not only saves you money but helps you do your bit in protecting the planet and of course, your own health as there is no inhalation of nasty chemical fumes.

      Grab the Polti Vaporetto 2400 now and you will be amazed by the power of steam, and never want to clean any other way!

      The Benefits of a Steam Cleaner

      Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

      With steam cleaners now available at such affordable prices, more and more people are enjoying the benefits of owning their own. There are so many advantages to being able to take out your own cleaner at the drop of a hat, rather than waiting for a professional company to fit you into their schedule. Steam cleaners don’t generally take up much more room than a vacuum cleaner and they’re a great way to ensure carpets get a really thorough clean, helping to eliminate mites and dirt. With allergies coming to the fore and everyone more aware of the importance of keeping their carpets and upholstery in tip-top condition, a steam cleaner is a great gadget to help ensure your house is as clean as possible.

      If you own a pet then chances are you find your carpets and sofas doused with a regular layer of pet hair and, whilst regular vacuum cleaners can get rid of these, it’s only up to a point and there’s always a few stray hairs or a lingering animal smell in the room. A steam cleaner can really help to add a powerful dimension to carpet cleaning and also help to eliminate those lingering pet odours.

      You might be surprised at how reasonable a good quality steam cleaner can be. As with everything, you can pick your cleaner according to your budget and the Polti Vaporetto range covers every budget and requirement. The entry-level model is the Easy Steam Cleaner, which is more than adequate for most domestic situations. However, if you want a bit more power then you might decide to go for the Vaporetto 950 or the 2400. For the ultimate steam-cleaning machine, choose the Vaporetto Eco Pro 3000 as you’ve got the ideal combination of looks and power! All the Vaporetto range can be complemented with a huge range of accessories and, depending on the model you choose, you can adapt your steam cleaner to clean hard floors and upholstery.
