About the firm

The French company of the same name is engaged in the production of Tefal steam generators. It was founded in 1956 and since then has confidently conquered the world markets.

Comparison with other manufacturers

The modern market is filled with steam generators from various manufacturers, which creates certain difficulties when choosing the model that is optimal for the house. Most often, Tefal steam generators are compared with:

• Phillips.
• Brown.
• Bosch.

The main differences are as follows:

1. Power. This indicator for the Tefal and Philips steam generators is higher than the others and is 2400-2600 W.
2. Sole... Steam generators from Tefal are equipped with a metal-ceramic sole with a non-stick coating, which none of the manufacturers has.

   Other firms offer devices with ceramic, titanium, steel and aluminum soles.

3. Steam blow... In Tefal devices, it starts from 180 g / min. This figure is higher only for Philips steam generators (200 g / min).
4. Leakage protection... All devices are equipped with it, although some models from Bosch do not have this function.
5. Scale protection... In Tefal steam generators, it is represented by the Anti-scale system.
6. Additional functions... Devices from Tefal are equipped with a vertical ironing function, although it is not present in all models.
7. Cost. The most expensive are Philips steam generators. Technics from Tefal are in the middle-high price category. Devices from Bosch and Brown are cheaper.

So, steam generators from Tefal are able to compete with other companies.

Another worthy manufacturer is the Karcher company... The equipment of this brand is expensive, but has excellent functionality. The number of additional options and nozzles for steam generators from Karcher is greater in comparison with devices from Tefal.

However, the price will also be several times higher. In addition, Karcher is more focused on steam cleaners than steam generators.
