Extremely disappointing experience with Polti.
I ordered a steam cleaner from polti.com, but the parcel was lost and I never received my order. Since then, I have tried multiple times to contact Polti by phone and email and have repeatedly requested a refund.
Unfortunately, I have received no proper response, no returned calls, and no refund. I have been left chasing the company for money for an item that was never delivered.
The lack of communication and customer service has been unacceptable. I would strongly advise anyone considering ordering from Polti to be very cautious. I simply want my money refunded for an order I never received.

Customer Service Redeemed

An update on my previous review, below. Despite initial lack of response from Polti, when I did make contact the response fast and very satisfactory. I have now given the company 4 Stars. Better communication at the beginning would have achieved. 5 Stars. (First Review...Athough my Vaporetto has given good service, it is in need of repair. I have been trying to arrange this quite a while but the telephone is never answered, the emails do not receive a reply and the online form does not give any help.
I will update this review if I ever get a result.)

My Vaporella iron has stopped working

My Vaporella iron has stopped working. I contacted Polti by phone around 2 weeks before the warranty was due to expire. Having left several phone messages and emails I have not had any response from them and now I am concerned as the warranty is around 2 weeks out out date. I would expect a repair or replacement will be honoured by Polti but until they return my call or email I am without an iron and unsure what will happen

In terms of getting the issue resolved, please send us a message through ebay or to enquiries.uk@polti.com with your order details, and we can look into the order for you.

AVOID THE POLTI BRAND

Purchased a Polti La Vaporella XB60C Steam Generator Iron from Costco in December 2023.
This stopped working earlier this year.
Boiler steams until it appears it is going to explode. Terrible quality.

Boiler is advertised to have a 10 year Warranty.

However on contact with Polti Uk – they want £99.00 and claim they will refund once assessed. How ridiculous a warranty.

Customer service very snotty, no wonder they have a low trust pilot rating.

Reading other reviews – it sounds like all products have serious QUALITY issues in general.

Costco have thankfully agreed to refund.
Costco rep also confirmed they have had lots of issues with Polti products – to the point they no longer retail the brand.
I can see why!

AVOID THE POLTI BRAND………….do yourself a favour.

**** Given the response from DAN - below is a a direct quote from an email DAN sent to me *****

"Based on my experience, I am in agreement that the fault is likely in relation to the boiler"

I reiterate - avoid POLTI and it's shocking after sales service.

Good Morning,
Thank you for your feedback and I fully understand your frustration. As discussed by email, your item is outside of the standard 2 year warranty we offer, and therefore a repair fee is charged. If during the assessment stage it is deemed that the 10 Year Boiler Warranty is applicable, this fee will be refunded in full. However, from looking at the product externally only, it is not possible to determine if the conditions of the 10 Year Warranty have been met (the boiler being at fault, and the fault being a result of limescale damage). I will clarify regarding your quote you have provided, you have missed some context from my email. My experience does tell me a boiler issue is likely, however without assessment of the machine internally I cannot say this for sure.
Kind regards,
Dan

Fantastic Customer Service

Fantastic Customer Service

I have had Polti for many years. Last year I bought a new Polti iron. I had an issue with it and contacted customer service to resolve the issue.
I received fast and professional service.
The outcome was far better than I expected.
Thank you Olivia, you were amazing.

I ordered and received my vaporella iron and on inspection this was clearly a second hand iron I have tried to contact them since Saturday and it’s been like pulling teeth! I have had some replies bk but they’re just asking me if the date for return is ok and then when I reply saying yes ok I don’t hear back from them for another day and then the return date changes to the next! Communication is
awful I need to return this iron so I can have a refund!

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your feedback. From what I can see in the emails, we've had to push the collection date back from the 11th to the 12th, because the reply you sent us came outside of our operating hours on the day we contacted you. Unfortunately, we need to give the courier sufficient notice for the booking, so hearing back after our working day has ended, means we cannot make the request until the following day. Thank you for your understanding, and please get in touch if you need anything further.
Kind regards,
Dan

WARNING

Purchased a £160 steamer October 2024. Great for the 12 months that it lasted... Now it steams nothing! Unfortunately the customer service however is non existent. They seem to intentionally make it exceptionally difficult to claim under warranty. No one ever answers the phone or returns your call after leaving voicemail. Sorry excuse of a company.

Don't bother buying anything from Polti…

Don't bother buying anything from Polti as the within a period of 2 years they replaced 3 of the machines I purchased off them and the warranty ran out literally after the third machine decided to pack up. I had to purchase another steam cleaner only to have the machine break down within not even a year. I've lost all faith in there aftersales service and their actual products as the Polti steam cleaner I had prior to these lasted nearly 20 years. I've emailed and called them twice and still waiting on a response. Save your money and by from another manufacturer as their machines are inferior.

Hi Sandip,
Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you've had difficulties with the quality of some of our products, but from the sounds of it our Customer Service team has been able to hep you with replacement products under the terms of the Warranty we offer. I've checked with the team and been advised that one of my colleagues has been in touch with you today to hopefully help resolve your query.

Customer Service do not respond.

All I wanted to do was register my warranty. Gave all the information required online - doesn't work. Tried multiple times. Tried calling Polti Customer Service multiple times, always get a voicemail saying they will call back - they have not. Tried emailing them - no response. Have had Polti products for years and never had this issue before.

POLTI UK = pure incompetence

UPDATE - Monday 2nd March - had to cancel the order as their was no end delivery date in sight, Polti had absolutely no intention of filling the order, if they did they would have arranged for an alternate delivery company, or courier, and expedited the order. I very much doubt it ever left the warehouse. Save your money and time and order from a reputable company. Polti UK are incompetent and just offer excuse after excuse.
__________________________________________________________

Ordered an expensive iron (£300) on 17th February and still waiting for it to be delivered on 26th February with no delivery date in sight. Contacted Polti - Customer Services and Operations Manager, excuses made about a change of warehouse and wouldn't accept the delay is due to outright incompetence or Polti and Evri. I would most certainly advise anyone to order via Amazon not Polti directly as I have done. So far an awful buying experience.

Hi Crane,
Thank you for your feedback. As we discussed on our email, we have in the last couple of weeks been moving warehouse, and a notification of this was live on our website at the time you placed your order. I fully acknowledge there have been some delays to our orders and apologise for the inconvenience caused. The move is intended to give significant improvement to our service in the long run, and this is already being reflected in the majority of our orders.

I would also confirm that you saw my most recent email on Wednesday, where I provided the tracking information of your item? This should provide you with an expected delivery date, and also the option to have the item left at a local collection point if it's inconvenient for you to wait in for the parcel. Again this is a level of service we have never been able to provide previously, and are happy that it is proving beneficial for our customers.

Once again, I apologise for the delay to the delivery. Should you need anything further please let me know.
Many thanks, Dan.

Thank you Polti .Purchases a Polti Vaporetto 3.0 payd €300 for it with a good discount and after 7 months Machine started flaming and spark also every time I was thinking to plug it in Power cuts off!I emailed them as This product was still in warranty and after all emailed they redirected me to a Repairs centre in Dublin to send it to be inspected in order to give me a refund or a replacement!Luckily for them Parcel is gone missing even if An post showing was delivered, An post stating GPS coordinates shows parcel was there 2 days after sending it so I can't get a refund from An post for lost parcel !1 week on the phone with An post and repair shop !An post would not refund me as parcel wasn't lost,Repair center won't even take my calls anymore, and Polti saying is not theyre problem!But will defenetly fill a fraud report as this is extraordinary convenient!After showing them the video of what was happening with the steamer and it was clearly a manufacturing problem is sooooo convenient that parcel gone missing and I don't have the steamer fixed or replaced!They are working with this repair center in Dublin for several years!Kenilworth Electrical is the shop so just in case if is a problem with yoir products that may look a as a internal manufacturing problem ,who you are sending it to if Still in warranty and can't be fixed!

Good Morning,
As discussed via email, we are fully willing to honor the warranty for your product and provide a repair free of charge. We requested you arrange to get the item to our nominated repairs shop Kenilworth Electrical, and you shipped the item using AN Post on what I understand to be a standard service (no tracking, picture POD or signed for). While AN Post have provided you with the GPS location of the driver, this does not confirm that the delivery was physically made. It is possible the driver could not locate the address, and simply marked it as 'delivered' for ease? I trust Kenilworth Electrical due to our relationship over many years when they say the item was not delivered, and they have assured me they will notify me if it arrives at any point. We will support where we can, but I must reiterate that you need to raise this with AN Post. Even if they claim the delivery was made, I have no doubt that there will still be a procedure for escalating this with them, which you should take up in this instance.
Please get back in touch with us if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Dan

Steam unit with steam iron

Our steam unit (which feeds a steam iron) failed. In spite of some difficulties with the courier's local depot (not Polti's fault) the unit arrived at the repair facility and was deemed unrepairable. Polti replaced the entire unit and steam iron with a new unit.
We couldn't be happier with the attention and service provided by the team at Polti.
Thank you.

I have Polti's Vaporeto since 2003

I have Polti's Vaporeto since 2003, my first machine; last till 2018 and I bought my second machine. I have a hairy dog and had cats. My homes never smelt pets; the cleaning I get with Polti Vaporeto is amazing, a deep clean, the suction is powerful. Mr. Polti made a good invention, Recently my 2nd machine went to repair with Polti UK; it was said no possible to repair and it was offered me a machine brand new, equivalent to mine (slightly better). The support I've received was efficient. Thank you for Dan and Olivia.
