Reviews of vacuum cleaners "Tefal" are an additional confirmation of the popularity of this brand around 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 present consumers with the highest quality and reliable products. The motto of the company - “Tefal - thinks of you”, optimally characterizes all the new products produced under this brand. In the article, we consider the types of home cleaning equipment from this manufacturer, as well as the responses of the owners.
general information
Reviews of vacuum cleaners "Tefal" make it clear that among the most popular models, consumers distinguish not only wireless modifications, but also standard versions with a bag for collecting dust. The following models are popular in the line of cyclonic variations:
- compact vacuum cleaner TW332188;
- ergonomic version of Tefal TW535388;
- Option TW539688;
According to reviews of silent Tefal vacuum cleaners, as well as an instruction manual, the appliances are strongly not recommended for use with any type of liquid, construction waste, broken glass and burning materials. Also, surfaces with alcohol-containing liquids or gasoline should not be treated. This is fraught with the failure of equipment and the possibility of injury or fire of the unit.
Popular modifications with a dust bag:
- TW185588, with a power of 1800 W and a dust collector capacity of 2.5 l;
- TW524388, power 2200 W;
- 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 runs on a rechargeable battery, is in demand. Along with low weight, they are compact and do not depend on the connection to the electric network. True, it takes several hours to charge the battery. This is enough for one cleaning.
Wireless vacuum cleaner "Tefal"
Reviews in this line most often relate to two popular units:
- "Air Force Extreme Lithium" (Air Force Extreme Lithium). The device runs on a lithium-ion battery, one charge lasts almost an hour. User feedback suggests that the actual operating time does not exceed 45 minutes.
- 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 unit on the battery operates using innovative technology, including the cleaning of air masses during cleaning. According to the manufacturer, the dust is separated before it enters the collection compartment. After the garbage enters the garbage container, the cleaned air returns 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.
According to reviews, Tefal vacuum cleaners of this type have several advantages over wired models:
- mobility, no need for a permanent network connection;
- ease of use (the wire does not interfere with moving the device in different directions and does not cling to furniture);
- a well-thought-out mechanism to simplify the transportation of the device;
- profitability, expressed in low energy consumption.
Reviews on the vacuum cleaner "Tefal" TW2522RA
This model combines compactness and power. The unit is perfect for processing rooms. An optional filter is supplied that can be used if the main counterpart is in the process of cleaning. A vacuum cleaner not only collects fine dust from carpets and other coatings, but also copes well with animal hair. The model takes up little space, is convenient in transportation and storage.
Modification 3753
Many consumers (as confirmed by reviews of the Tefal 3753 vacuum cleaner) choose this variation. Its cost ranges from 8 to 9.5 thousand rubles. The release of the model began in 2016. Despite the fact that the brand in question is from France, its production is also established in China.
The device is sold in beautiful cardboard packaging, which has useful information for users. The appearance is attractive and ergonomic. The product is made of high quality plastic, it does not have 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 a woman and a child to operate the vacuum cleaner.
As 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 indicator of profitability, along with decent quality, allows you to additionally save on energy consumption. The kit comes with a set of nozzles, including a turbo brush for cleaning pet hair. It 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. Such a 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 expressed in figures, it will be 79 dB.
Reviews about the Tefal vacuum cleaner confirm the high quality of the brand. Many consumers attribute it to the best variations among identical models. It is worth noting that on the unit under consideration there is an additional filter that prevents excessive heating of the motor. Working with this device will not be a problem for any user; he is also not picky in maintenance. The option for air freshening 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 they do not outweigh the advantages.
High-quality vacuum cleaner
Reviews of the Tefal vacuum cleaner TW3798EA state that this model is notable for good build quality and equipment. The kit includes a brush for floors, carpets, crevices and furniture. The device functions well, equipped with a convenient telescopic tube. Among the shortcomings, consumers note a quick heating of the device and a rather loud sound. For example, a two-room apartment can be cleaned in 2-3 calls. 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
By 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 supplies the product unassembled. The kit includes detailed assembly instructions and a screwdriver for attaching the elements.
The new configuration of the brush may lead to bewilderment, but after testing it becomes clear that it is practical and most convenient to use. The triangular pointed shape of the nozzle allows you to carefully carry out cleaning near the baseboards and in the corners. An ordinary brush for such manipulations is not suitable.
Device
Vertical vacuum cleaner "Tefal" (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 during cleaning. This applies to cleaning surfaces under the bed, other furniture or car seats. This design has one significant drawback, which consists in the accelerated discharge of batteries.
According to the manufacturer, the unit will collect a minimum amount of dust and garbage in the garbage compartment (no more than two teaspoons). There is some nuance here. If the device works on the principle of a separator, separating the air mass from the garbage, then a small amount of dust indicates poor filtering. As a result, the cleaned air returns to the room after cleaning. After each use, the foam filter should be washed and thoroughly dried together with the dust collector.
Benefits
Reviews of the Tefal silent vacuum cleaner indicate its superiority over the nickel-battery model. The benefits are as follows:
- fast charge (6 hours instead of 10);
- increased power;
- light weight (3.4 kg);
- equipping with rollers increasing the maneuverability of the device;
- the presence of an original charger.
Disadvantages of battery models
According to reviews, the Tefal cyclone vacuum cleaner with batteries has several disadvantages. Among them:
- the need to rinse the filter and the waste bin after each use;
- susceptibility of foam rubber to various fungal and mold infections;
- fragility of plastic parts;
- the need for regular charging;
- low power of the unit, not designed for a 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, the reviews of which are different, looks very stylish after unpacking. The color scheme consists of a dark blue or black plastic case with a varnished surface. It is worth noting that the material requires careful handling, as it is susceptible to scratches and chips. As a result, the body quickly gains roughness and scuff.
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 device of most modifications from the manufacturer in question are identical. They differ in terms of power, color, type of batteries 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 counterparts with lithium versions. The price of models varies from 200 to 500 US dollars. Many consumers note the fact that these devices are designed for dry cleaning in not very dirty rooms, which calls into question the appropriateness of their acquisition. 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 cost, you can easily choose the option with the possibility of wet cleaning and dry cleaning of carpets.
Total
There are not many modifications in the model line of vacuum cleaners of the Tefal brand. 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 units of this brand leave positive feedback about them.
It is worth noting the fact that the presence of foam rubber filter elements in cordless vacuum cleaners classifies this technique as dangerous machines for allergy sufferers and people with asthma.
Convenience when cleaning in multi-storey private houses and apartments, where it is required to move along narrow and uncomfortable stairs (due to the compactness and low weight of the vacuum cleaner), confirms the convenience of such devices. Also, users note the original triangular shape of the brush with a backlight, allowing you to clean up in uncomfortable and dark places. Nevertheless, for high-quality general cleaning, a separator analog without a filter is better. The manufacturer recommends repairing and servicing his equipment in specialized service centers, which, unfortunately, are not in every city.
