Reviews of Tefal vacuum cleaners are additional confirmation of the popularity of this brand all over the world. The company has been operating in more than 120 countries since 1954. After the presentation of a unique non-stick coating, the company actively took up the production of various household appliances, including irons and vacuum cleaners. The corporation employs highly qualified specialists who provide consumers with the highest quality and reliable products. The motto of the enterprise - "Tefal - thinks of you", optimally characterizes all the novelties produced under this brand. In the article, we will consider the types of home cleaning equipment from this manufacturer, as well as the feedback from the owners.

General information

Reviews of Tefal vacuum cleaners make it clear that among the most popular models, consumers distinguish not only wireless modifications, but also standard versions with a dust bag. In the line of cyclonic variations, the following models are successful:

• compact vacuum cleaner TW332188;
• ergonomic Tefal TW535388;
• option TW539688;

As confirmed by reviews of silent vacuum cleaners "Tefal", and also says the instruction manual,devices are strictly not recommended for use with any type of liquids, construction debris, broken glass and burning materials. Also, do not treat surfaces that contain alcohol-containing liquids or gasoline. This is fraught with equipment failure and the possibility of injury or fire of the unit.

Popular dust bag modifications:

• TW185588, 1800W power and 2.5L dust container;
• TW524388, 2200W;
• TW529588.

The instructions for using these models are similar to cyclonic vacuum cleaners. In the domestic market, a variation of the brand in question, which is powered by a battery, is in demand. In addition to their low weight, they are compact and do not depend on an electrical connection. True, it takes several hours to charge the battery. This is enough for one cleaning.

Tefal cordless vacuum cleaner

Reviews in this line most often concern two popular units:

1. "Air Force Extreme Lithium" (Air Force Extreme Lithium). The device runs on a lithium-ion battery, one charge lasts almost an hour. User responses indicate that the actual operating time does not exceed 45 minutes.
2. Air Force Extreme. This modification differs from the above version only in the battery. Here it is nickel, which significantly reduces the cost of the device.

Features

The battery-operated unit operates with the help of innovative technology, which includes the cleaning of air masses during cleaning. According to the manufacturer, the dust is separated before entering the collection compartment. After the garbage enters the bin, the purified air is returned to the room. This design made it possible to reduce the volume of the waste container, but the efficiency of this unit remains in question.

As evidenced by the reviews, Tefal vacuum cleaners of this type have a number of advantages over wired models:

• mobility, no need to be constantly connected to the network;
• ease of use (the wire does not interfere with moving the device in different directions and does not cling to furniture);
• designed mechanism to make it as easy as possible to transport the device;
• Economical in terms of low energy consumption.

Reviews about the vacuum cleaner "Tefal" TW2522RA

This model combines compactness and power. The unit is perfect for processing rooms. The kit comes with an additional filter that can be used if the main analogue is in the process of cleaning. The vacuum cleaner perfectly collects not only dust from carpets and other coverings, but also perfectly copes with animal hair. The model takes up little space, convenient to transport and store.

Modification 3753

Many consumers (as confirmed by reviews of the Tefal 3753 vacuum cleaner) choose this particular variation. Its value ranges from 8 to9.5 thousand rubles. The release of the model began in 2016. Despite the fact that the brand in question is from France, its production has also been established in China.

The device is sold in a beautiful cardboard box with useful information for users. Appearance is attractive and ergonomic. The product is made of high quality plastic, has no backlash at the seams. Overall dimensions - 400/270/290 mm. The unit can be stored both vertically and horizontally. Light weight of 3 kilograms and excellent maneuverability allows the vacuum cleaner to be operated by a woman and a child.

As the reviews of the Tefal vacuum cleaner with a container show, its power of 0.65 kW is enough to clean carpets, linoleum and upholstered furniture. A high rate of efficiency, along with decent quality, allows you to further save on electricity consumption. The kit comes with a set of nozzles, including a turbo brush for cleaning pet hair. This does not require additional processing of the clogged surface.

Recommendations

The Tefal vacuum cleaner with a cyclone filter (reviews of which are given below) is equipped with a special plastic container with a capacity of 1.5 liters. This volume makes it possible to cope with the cleaning of a large apartment and a multi-level cottage. Noise during operation is observed, but its level is much lower than that of many analogues. If we express this indicator in numbers, it will be 79 dB.

Reviews of the Tefal vacuum cleaner confirm the highbrand quality. Many consumers attribute it to the best variations among identical models. It is worth noting that the unit in question has an additional filter that prevents excessive heating of the motor. Working with this device will not be a problem for any user; it is also not picky in maintenance. The air freshening option allows you to get rid of not only dust and debris, but also unpleasant odors. As for the shortcomings, they relate mainly to repairs and prices, but in no way outweigh the pros.

Quality vacuum cleaner

Reviews of the Tefal TW3798EA vacuum cleaner say that this model is of good build quality and equipment. The set includes a brush for floors, carpets, crevices and furniture. The device functions well, equipped with a convenient telescopic tube. Among the shortcomings, consumers note the rapid heating of the device and a rather loud sound. For example, it is really possible to clean a two-room apartment in 2-3 visits. A special feature is the cyclone filter, which cannot be compared with standard bags. The cord is strong and quite long.

Air Force Extreme Lithium

When purchasing this device on batteries, you should prepare for its self-assembly. Customer reviews of Tefal vacuum cleaners in this category indicate that the manufacturer delivers the goods unassembled. The set comes with detailed assembly instructions and a screwdriver for attaching elements.

The new brush configuration may be confusing, howeverafter testing it, it becomes clear that it is practical and as convenient as possible to use. The triangular pointed shape of the nozzle allows you to thoroughly clean around skirting boards and in corners. An ordinary brush is not suitable for such manipulations.

Device

The Tefal vertical vacuum cleaner (reviews additionally confirm this) in the Air Force Extreme Lithium version is equipped with two rows of LEDs on the working part, which makes it possible to illuminate dark places when cleaning. This applies to cleaning surfaces under the bed, other furniture or car seats. This design has one significant drawback, which is the accelerated discharge of batteries.

According to the manufacturer, the unit will collect a minimum amount of dust and debris in the trash compartment (no more than two teaspoons). There is some nuance here. If the device works on the principle of a separator, separating air masses from debris, then a small amount of dust indicates poor-quality filtration. As a result, the purified air after cleaning is returned back to the room. Rinse and dry the foam filter together with the dust container after each use.

Benefits

Reviews of the silent vacuum cleaner "Tefal" speak of its superiority over the model with a nickel battery. The benefits are as follows:

• quick charge (6 hours instead of 10);
• increased power;
• light weight (3.4 kg);
• equipment with rollers that increase the maneuverability of the device;
• presence of original charger.

Disadvantages of battery models

As evidenced by the reviews, the Tefal cyclone vacuum cleaner on batteries has a number of disadvantages. Among them:

• the need to rinse the filter and trash can after each use;
• susceptibility of foam rubber to various fungal and mold infections;
• brittleness of plastic parts;
• need for regular charging;
• low capacity of the unit, not designed for one-time cleaning of large areas;
• not all modifications are equipped with charge level sensors;
• high cost compared to wired counterparts.

Interesting facts

The new Tefal vacuum cleaner with a container, reviews of which are different, looks very stylish after unpacking. The color scheme consists of a dark blue or black plastic body with a lacquered surface. It is worth noting that the material requires careful handling, as it is prone to scratches and chips. As a result, the body quickly becomes rough and worn.

The dust collection tank is completely transparent, which allows you to visually determine the amount of accumulated debris. The inner surface also scratches over time under the influence of chips and hard particles. Scuffs are filled with dirt, which negatively affects the appearance of the device. Most battery models are stored vertically. This leads to falls and deformation of the unit. The principle of operation and the devices of most modifications from the manufacturer in question are identical. They differ in terms of power, color, battery type and minor details that do not affect the overall functionality.

Prices

The cost of Tefal vacuum cleaners with a nickel battery is lower than that of analogues with lithium versions. The price of models varies from 200 to 500 US dollars. Many consumers note that these devices are designed for dry cleaning in not very polluted rooms, which calls into question the expediency of their purchase. In the domestic market, the high price of vacuum cleaners from this manufacturer is one of the main factors that reduce the popularity of the brand. At this price, you can easily choose an option with the possibility of wet cleaning and dry cleaning of carpets.

Result

There are not many modifications in the model line of Tefal brand vacuum cleaners. The high price, along with a limited choice, led to the fact that these devices were not widely used in the post-Soviet space, although most owners of the units of this brand leave positive feedback about them.

It is worth noting the fact that the presence of foam filter elements in cordless vacuum cleaners classifies this technique as a dangerous machine for allergy sufferers and people with asthma.

Users also note the original triangular shape of the backlit brush, which allows you to clean up in uncomfortable and dark places. Nevertheless, for high-quality general cleaning, a separator analogue without a filter is better suited. The manufacturer recommends that you repair and service your equipment at specialized service centers, which, unfortunately, are not available in every city.
