Tefal X-Clean 7 review: this speedy, lightweight hardfloor washer is pet-approved, but its bizarre cleaning prompts have me confused
Tom's Guide Verdict The Tefal X-Clean 7 is a lightweight floorwasher that excels at everyday cleaning, making it a great and relatively affordable choice for homes with pets or children. It features strong suction across three cleaning modes and can effectively tackle spills, stains, crumbs and pet hair. While it is easy to use and offers quick drying, it suffers from smaller water tank capacities, which means more frequent refills.
