Tefal's advertising slogan asserts that the company thinks about us, about consumers. Let's check this statement on the example of vacuum cleaners. Tefal offers traditional cord and hose cleaning technology, cordless vertical vacuum cleaners and robots. For the convenience of choosing, we will consider traditional models in various price segments. We will separately analyze vacuum cleaners that work without being tied to an outlet.
TOP-5 in the price segment up to 10 thousand rubles
It contains both vacuum cleaners with a bag and a fine filter, as well as bagless models with a cyclone filter.
Tefal TY6543RH
This device was ranked as an inexpensive, standalone daily cleaning device. An upright vacuum cleaner cannot serve as a full-fledged replacement for a wired one, so you should not expect miracles from it in terms of power and suction power. Its purpose is to collect dust and debris from a smooth floor in a kitchen, bathroom or hallway. You cannot clean your carpet or sofa. Main characteristics:
- cyclone filter, bowl capacity for collecting waste 0.65 liters;
- vertical parking, assembled height 109 cm;
- lithium-ion battery;
- autonomous work up to half an hour;
- full charge time 5 hours.
Despite the modest dimensions of 22x26 cm, the vacuum cleaner produces a noise of 80 dB. A nice bonus is the backlight of the brush, and users say that this function is most effective in the dark, every speck of dust is visible.
Tefal TW3931 and Tefal TW3999
The great similarity of these models made it possible to analyze them together. Both devices are designed for dry cleaning, collecting dust in bags with a volume of 3 liters. Each of them is equipped with an indicator that the bin is full. The on / off button can be pressed with your foot, which is a plus for ergonomics, the low weight of 3.68 kg is also an advantage, but the power regulator on the body is a minus for convenience. The HEPA11 filter is responsible for the cleanliness of the outgoing air flow. The power of 0.75 kW contributes to energy savings, and the compactness and vertical parking will allow you to allocate storage space for the unit, even in a studio apartment.
The lower price limit is about the same. Prices for TW3931 start at 5,198 rubles. The starting cost of TW3999 is lower, 5095 rubles, despite the more interesting set of brushes. The range of prices is interesting: for the first model under consideration, the maximum cost is 6 thousand rubles, for the second in some stores they ask 10,000 rubles.
The differences between the models are reflected in the table.
| Parameters | TW3931 | TW3999 |
| Noise dB | 79 | 75 |
| cord length m. | 6,2 | 6,0 |
| equipment | floor / carpet; furniture, combined | floor / carpet, for parquet, turbocharged mini, furniture, combined and extended, flexible slot |
Buyers say both models are quite quiet, especially when not used at maximum power. High-quality filtration, clean air at the outlet. The large volume of the waste container lasts for a long time, although some users cannot find disposable replacement bags on sale. The disadvantages include cheap plastic housing and low hose mobility in the socket. There are frequent complaints about the insufficient length of the network cable.
Tefal TW3731RA
A budget version of a cyclonic vacuum cleaner with an additional fine filter. There is no need to purchase dust bags.The volume of the dust container is 1.5 liters. The unit is designed for dry cleaning. The range of prices in stores is from 6 310 to 9990 rubles. The low price implies a set of the simplest functions, but an indication of the fullness of the bin is present. With a power of 0.75 kW, the vacuum cleaner emits a noise of 79 dB. Telescopic tube, but the assortment of nozzles is quite modest:
- for floor and carpet;
- furniture;
- crevice.
The device weighs only 3.8 kg, but it can only be parked horizontally. For the convenience of the user, there is the possibility of a foot switch on and off.
Buyers note the insufficient length of the pipe and the low reliability of its fastening with the hose, there is no latch. There is difficulty in winding up the power cord. Users are satisfied with the cleaning power and quality and recommend frequent flushing of the fine filter.
Tefal TW3786RA
Most expensive in the category. Price range in online stores from 7190. Serves for dry cleaning, equipped with a cyclone filter and fine cleaning. Dust collector with a capacity of 1.5 liters. Telescopic pipe, the set includes brushes:
- turbo;
- for floor and carpet;

- furniture;
- crevice.
With a unit power of 0.75 kW, it produces sound with a volume of 79 dB. The vacuum cleaner is light enough at only 3.8 kg. The length of the power cord is 6.2 meters. An inconvenient power regulator can be written as a minus to the device, this solution impairs the ergonomics of cleaning.
disadvantages
- the large size of the slotted nozzle limits access to narrow openings and under low furniture;
- small size of the turbine brush;
- insufficient hose length
- lack of a latch at the junction of the pipe and hose.
Customers love the combination of high power, compactness, variety of attachments and quiet operation. Conclusion: the value for money is good.
The most interesting vacuum cleaners costing over 10,000 rubles
Tefal TY9079RO
And again, the rating is opened by a vertical wireless autonomous cleaner, its price is 18,700 rubles. Not cheap, but in comparison with its cheap brother, many interesting functions have been discovered, their presence is due to the increased dimensions. The height has grown to 115 cm, the width and depth to 26 and 25 cm, respectively. Let's analyze the complete set:
- standard brush;
- two electric, for the floor and for furniture or hard-to-reach places;
- furniture nozzle;
- crevice.
And, perhaps, the most important difference from cheap models is the ability to disconnect a small vacuum cleaner from the rack and use it to clean the car or hard-to-reach places of the home.
The volume of the dust collector has decreased slightly, 0.4 liters versus 0.45 for a cheap brother. The noise level has increased to 85 dB and the cleaning time has been reduced to 20 minutes. The manufacturer promises a full charge of the lithium-ion battery in three hours, although users claim that the real time is almost twice as high as stated.
Of the pleasant bonuses - lighting of the cleaning area and the ability to hang the unit on the wall. The disadvantages include the lack of a triangular brush, which is equipped with Tefal TY8758RH and a number of other models. Buyers note the high power of the vacuum cleaner. Can completely replace wired in studios and small apartments with minimalist design.
Tefal TW6477RA
Despite the abundance of cyclonic and aqua filters, quite a few people prefer traditional dust collectors. The arguments are quite weighty: the bag can simply be thrown away without the bother of rinsing and blowing newfangled filters. In this model, Tefal really thought about us, offering a very worthy unit for 16, 5 thousand rubles, although some online stores ask 22 thousand for it. With the same power of 0.75 kW, the noise level decreased to 66 dB, the volume of the waste bag increased to 4.5 liters, and the length of the power cord reached 8.4 meters. The foot switch has been preserved, but the power adjustment has moved to the handle. Nice set of accessories:
- switchable floor / carpet brush:
- two turbo brushes of different sizes;
- parquet;
- for cleaning upholstered furniture;
- crevice.
This vacuum cleaner will cope with cleaning the cottage too. Buyers point out that compared to others, this vacuum cleaner is really quiet.Some users noted the large dimensions of the device.
