Polti Vaporella Express VE30.10, High Performance Steam Generator Iron, up to 8 Bar Pump, Eco Function, with ONE TEMPERATURE Technology and Digital Setting, Blue/White

I like this iron. We have had about 4 steam generator types over the years and this is the quietest and most efficient. It copes well with linen and denim. It is compact and doesn’t take up much space. The refill is easy with no water container to extract from the machine just a little pull out spout and you can pour straight into the tank. It’s worth mentioning that according to the instructions the iron runs best on 50% tapwater and 50% deionised water. If you live in a hard water area like us, it recommends you use 100% deionised water. The water is widely available in supermarkets but it does add an additional cost. However, it does mean the iron will live longer. Our others have ‘died’ due to hard water and deionised water was not recommended for them. Overall excellent value and I would recommend.

Excellent iron easy to use high quality

Worst iron iv ever purchased, if bought a fair few over the years and this is awful, iv had it since the 15th of July and already the steam function isnt working

Very good product works well and came in good time. Thank you. JHB

I treated myself to this iron and found the steam function quite good but I've only had it since late July 2025 and the steam function has stopped working already mid September 2025. I don't iron that much unless it's needed so can't say I have had great use of the iron. I am looking for troubleshooting and can't get it working. I also bought the anti scale treatment that's recommended by the company. Hopefully sending back and getting a replacement :( I have since contacted Politi and I was told not to use the anti scale treatment for this iron although it's listed on Amazon as bought together and that the distilled water of comfort ironing water is not suitable either!! They have replaced the iron without any Fuss and recommended that I read the manual again. Which I most definitely will however I'm wondering what the cost will be to continue to purchase demineralised water with tap water depending on hardness of your water supply!

I had a heavyweight steam generator before which gave up the ghost. This one was a good price and a good make so I bought it. It is effective and irons heavy denim and linen as well as silks well. It’s quite light and easy to use. The negatives aren’t terrible but would be improved for me if I could control the temperature, if the locking system was more positive and robust and the storage for the cord and wire were neater . All together though it is a good iron and I have been using it for a couple of months without complaint or problems.

Lightweight to handle, very powerful steam function, snorts like a noisy dragon but you are warned of the working noises by the manufacturer. Clear, step by step instructions but images referred to are on a different page. Take 10 minutes to read and familiarise yourself before starting. I am familiar with the Polti brand and this replaces my failed Philips which was repairable but not economic to do so. It was delivered within 24 hours but I received an item which was shopsoiled. Amazon immediately arranged collection and delivery of new item. I have tested it on different fabrics including a very creased, overdried cotton poplin formal shirt and significantly creased trousers. The automatic temperature control was perfect, the iron glided over fabric with ease, and steam was effective on both. I vertically steamed an evening dress that had sequins and there were no wrinkles and creases from storage fell away. I found the iron easy to use despite having quite arthritic hands and appreciated the efficiency which reduced ironing times. There are two settings for the steam power. I bought this appliance for £99 on limited time offer, a substantial saving. Fingers crossed that it continues to work as it has begun, and lives up to my expectations and experience of Polti.

It’s a very quality iron with strong vapour
