Tefal X-Clean 7 review: this speedy, lightweight hardfloor washer is pet-approved, but its bizarre cleaning prompts have me confused
I've used the Tefal X-Clean 7 wet and dry vacuum in my home for the past three months — here's how it fared.
The Tefal X-Clean 7 is a lightweight and speedy hardfloor washer that has attracted attention for its pet-friendly capability, despite its unconventional cleaning prompts. Priced at £449 in the United Kingdom and AU$799 in Australia, the device weighs just 1.9lbs / 0.9kg and offers 20,000Pa suction power. It boasts a maximum runtime of 50 minutes in Eco mode and up to 27 minutes in Max mode, with a charging time of 4 hours.
Founded in 1956, Tefal is well-known for its kitchen and dining products, but has recently ventured into floorcare with the X-Clean line. The X-Clean 7 is the latest addition, promising to clean hard floors more efficiently than previous models. After using it for three months, it was tested to determine its effectiveness in tackling stubborn stains, puppy accidents, and regular maintenance of hard floors.
The X-Clean 7's design is lightweight, weighing only 1.9lbs / 0.9kg in the hand, and features a 180° lay-flat design for easy maneuvering, particularly under furniture. The device's compact dimensions (13cm high when flat) make it easy to fit under most couches or tables. The water tanks, with a capacity of 500ml for used water and 650ml for clean water, are easily accessible and do not cause leaks when full.
The device's controls are simple and intuitive, featuring a round LED screen that displays battery life, cleaning modes, and system alerts, as well as two buttons on the handle for power and cleaning modes. A voice assistant is also available, which provides alerts, but its responses can be limited and lou
The X-Clean 7 offers three cleaning modes: Auto, Max, and Eco. The Auto mode automatically detects dirt and adjusts water flow and suction power accordingly, while Max mode is recommended for very dirty surfaces, and Eco mode is for moderately dirty floors. The device uses 20,000Pa suction power and provides up to 50 minutes of runtime in Eco mode and up to 27 minutes in Max mode, both of which are standard for floorwashers.
The X-Clean 7 also features an anti-tangle comb on its roller and offers excellent maneuverability thanks to its speedy self-propulsion.
