Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Thomas 786532

  • Excellent suction power and overall cleaning performance
  • Highly effective for allergy sufferers as the water filter binds dust, pollen, and mites
  • No recurring costs for dust bags due to the bagless aqua-filter technology
  • Noticeably freshens and deodorizes the room air during use, especially when using the included fragrance
  • Safe and reliable liquid absorption capabilities without risking motor damage
  • Generous 11-meter operating radius providing extensive reach

What we don't like about Thomas 786532

  • High level of operational noise during use
  • Requires frequent water changes and thorough cleaning/drying of the tank after every use to prevent odors
  • The physical size and weight can make it bulky and less maneuverable for some users
  • Water and debris tank capacity is relatively small, requiring multiple empties for larger homes
  • The preparation, maintenance, and post-vacuum cleaning routines are time-consuming

Verdict

The Thomas Perfect Air Feel Fresh X3 (Article No. 786532) is a German-made, bagless corded cylinder vacuum cleaner designed for dry cleaning and liquid suction, powered by a 1400W to 1700W motor and equipped with an electronic Touch-Tronic power regulator. Its standout feature is the Aqua-Pure water filtration system combined with a HEPA 13 filter, which traps dust, allergens, and odors in a 1.8-liter water box while simultaneously aromatizing and refreshing the room air. Key advantages include a generous 11-meter operating radius from an 8-meter automatically rewinding cable, 360-degree Easy-Drive castors for superb maneuverability, an eco-suction mode for air purification, and the ability to absorb up to 2.6 liters of liquid. However, its primary disadvantages are a relatively heavy and bulky design, weighing 6.9 kg without accessories, and the recurring maintenance hassle of having to wash and dry the complex Aqua-BOX after every cleaning session to prevent unpleasant odors.
