Review: Looks great and irons well - I think this iron is great! Reading some of the other reviews it seems that you can take the 10 year cover with a pinch of salt, that’s what I will be doing. I picked this up for under £250 and having used it a few times I can say it really is worth the money. Ironing my shirts is a breeze and now takes half the one it did before. My only gripe is that the power cord for the wall to the iron is not long enough, it feels like Polti know this because they have a special pullout tray you can use to bring the actual iron closer. So the inventiveness of the solution in my mind means this is a 5 star product! Now let’s see if it stands the test of time! Review: So far, So Polti - This is my second Polti steam generator iron in 15 years. If this one lasts as long as the other one, I'll be VERY happy. It's still early days, and so far it's taken me a couple uses to get used to it because I actually liked the heavier weight of the old one which also had continuous steam - not that I used it often. The one thing I'm going to have to get used to is the fact that when ironing, the steam intermittently stops for a few seconds as if to power up again. Considering this is a 7.5 bar compared to my old 5 bar iron, I'm not sure why. It's not a deal breaker though and I'm sure I'll get used to it. It does make a kind of generator noise occasionally, but I'm familiar with the noise because of the Polti carpet cleaner I have, and I just assume that this is the tank re-pressurising. Who knows, I'm no engineer though :-). The tank is big - I mean physically bigger than my old one though I think they both hold the same amount of water - but, I LOVE that I don't have to wait for the pressure to go down before refilling, meaning that you can just continue ironing for however long it takes without needing to take a break. Also, the time it takes for the tank to pressurise and you can start ironing ... my old one used to take about 10 minutes. This one takes 2 minute! I no longer have to put the iron on and go shower before ironing one item! If you've ever owned a Polti, you know how annoying this can be, let alone the electricity you burn to iron ONE top! Finally, PRICE: At the time of writing this review, the La Vaporella XT100C is £70 more on the Polti website. So whilst there are a few things that would have made my new purchase perfect, it still deserves 5 stars. ## Features - Innovative boiler with no calc long life boiler technology: prevents the negative effects of limescale for a longer life without maintenance. - Innovative 360° ​​fluid Curve technology soleplate: perfect results, excellent smoothness, optimal steam distribution, rounded shape for multidirectional ironing and navigating obstacles. - Steam pulse function 500g: intermittent steam for easier and faster ironing; ideal for ironing vertically. - 6 preset ironing programs: universal for ironing all types of fabric and turbo for the most stubborn creases. - High pressure iron: boiler up to 7.5 BAR and pump 15 BAR.(*Warranty on the boiler system (solenoid valve/boiler/inlet connection), only valid if product registered within 30 days of its purchase. - Powerful dry steam is produced by the steam iron's special boiler and this process generates a sound every few minutes during normal use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B078X5XZP9 | | Base Material | Aluminium | | Best Sellers Rank | 472,313 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 50 in Steam Generator Irons | | Brand | Polti | | Brand Name | Polti | | Colour | Turquoise | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 244 Reviews | | Frequency | 50 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08007411012099 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 37.5L x 24W centimetres | | Item Highlight | Max Pressure 7.5 Bar, Power 2350 W, Unlimited Runtime, 1.4 L Tank, 6 Programmes, 500g Intermittent Steam | | Item Type Name | Steam Generator Iron with Boiler | | Item Weight | 5.2 Kilograms | | Manufacture Year | 2018 | | Manufacturer | Polti | | Model Name | La Vaporella | | Model Number | La Vaporella XT100C | | Model Year | 2018 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | La Vaporella XT100C | | Product dimensions | 37.5L x 24W centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Home Needs | | Recommended uses for product | Home Needs | | Special Features | Steam generator | | Special feature | Steam generator | | Style | Iron | | Wattage | 2400 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Polti - **Colour:** Turquoise - **Product dimensions:** 37.5L x 24W centimetres - **Special feature:** Steam generator - **Wattage:** 2400 watts ## Images ![La Vaporella XT100C, Steam Iron with Boiler - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51dIbQ+7ECL.jpg) ![La Vaporella XT100C, Steam Iron with Boiler - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+h2w9CQgL.jpg) ![La Vaporella XT100C, Steam Iron with Boiler - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TwMnzMXaL.jpg) ![La Vaporella XT100C, Steam Iron with Boiler - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mTaQqHCLL.jpg) ![La Vaporella XT100C, Steam Iron with Boiler - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q6v6Z6c7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the weight of the iron?** A: It is no heavier than any other steam generator iron. This is my third in 15 years, they have all been brilliant, as is this one. **Q: Debating between the xm80c & xt100c. does the extra 0.5 on xt100c make a big difference to ironing? will i notice the difference between the 2 irons?** A: I think they are both good irons. I have the 100 and the water consumption is very economical, we iron approx 3 times per week and one full generally is enough. Hope this helps. **Q: Is the dial supposed to keep turning round or does it have a start and stopping place. Should you be able to turn the dial past the turbo setting?** A: Yes, the dial just keeps going around and the corresponding light lights up as you turn. When you turn on the mains power, as far as I'm aware, it starts in the off position. Hope this helps **Q: I’ve had my iron 3 months and brown stuff coming out on clothes and sheets. How do u clean iron? Ty** A: It’s probably to do with hard water. If you can, put deionised water in, you won’t have the limes ale problem and your iron should last longer. I have the same model, it’s about 12 months old and I haven’t had any similar problems ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great and irons well *by P***P on 21 January 2024* I think this iron is great!

It was amazing. Very strong steam power lightweight overall. The problem is that the steam hundle doesn't work anymore and you cant find official Polti center in UK. So for now I will go back to steam iron cause I am not willing to give the same money for this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polti La Vaporella XT100C, Steam generator iron with boiler, 7.5 bar, no maintenance, 10 year warranty on the boiler against limescale attacks*, unlimited autonomy, steam pulse 500g - Polti PAEU0094 Kalstop Anti-Scale Phials, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/68318599-la-vaporella-xt100c-steam-iron-with-boiler](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/68318599-la-vaporella-xt100c-steam-iron-with-boiler) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
