Polti Vaporella Express Review

The Polti Vaporella Express Steam Generator Iron is a lightweight powerful steam generator iron. It has a blue/green design with elements of white mixed in. Its main selling point is its automatic temperature adjustment. So whether you're ironing denim jeans, or delicate silk, you can do so without adjusting the settings.

The iron is powerful. It has a 240g per minute steam boost, and a high 8 bar of pressure. There's an ECO mode which uses approximately 26% less energy and 31% less water without compromising results. The extra large 1.6 litre water tank significantly minimises the time between refills. The soleplate is made from a ceramic material which is both scratch resistant and allows for smooth gliding.
