I tested this product after a move, so I could measure its full power.
The Polti amounts very quickly (less than two minutes to assemble all the pieces), once the water poured into the tank, start-up is fast (almost no wait between the time that you turn it on and where you choose your programs). A trigger on the handle allows you to balance the time of issuance of steam and those of aspiration (of course if you decide to use both modes simultaneously, what will I believe the majority of users and this precisely because it allows the use Polti - a security system will block the trigger). Water can be incorporated in the tank emptied at any time, which is a very good point for this device, which does not require a tedious waiting preheating.
The result is very good, 4.5 bar will overcome the most stubborn places to clean. Whether with raclette accompanied micro fiber or without squeegee to clean your carpets, whether with the turbine or with precision tip (cleaning faucet for example), the Polti provides immediate satisfaction, it must be recognized .
Regarding ergonomics. A design and accessories that are made to go anywhere. The Unico does Polti remains relatively bulky and heavy (even if you have very heavy climbing stairs). This relative disadvantage is however compensated by the multiplicity of proposed programs, possible modes of use and above all the result obtained cleaning.
Note, although the tube can become quite hot during a long use. The handset distribution of steam and suction can dry faster the ground (which is never soggy).
Note that still must completely unwind the wire before connecting it to a socket, so that after use (and disconnection) it can be rewound automatically.
assessment: an anti oriented Polti Unico mites, very easy to use, offering accessories for a complete cleaning of the house without interruption. A very good result whatever the nature of the floor to be cleaned. Provided accessories that will allow you to clean toilets, faucets but also your tiles (careful to read the instructions before use).
However, a relatively heavy set (to consider if you need to carry from one floor to another) but with an ergonomic mat convincing. Ideal for a "regular spring cleaning" it fills the Polti Unico contract the requirement of cleanliness. Without detours.
