Tineco Floor ONE Switch S6 Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner, Smart Floor Cleaner Mop, 5-in-1 Multi-Function Stick Vacuum FlashDry Self-Cleaning Dual-Edge Cleaning, Whole-House Cleaning

I held off reviewing this because the last one I bought didn’t even make it a year and it was totally annoying and the “intelligence” in it was just a routine it was incapable of actually detecting anything; it wants you to fill it, empty it, clean it regardless of the fact you just emptied it 5 seconds ago. Therefore I wanted a good month of testing.Well this S6 stretch is a lot better. First thing I noticed is it actually picks things up off the floor, the 3,5, and 7 could never pick up the dogs kibble I always had to sweep it up first; this s6 picks up the kibble…yippee! I debated between buying this, the 7 steamer, and a Bissel crosswave steamer. I emediatly ruled out the Tineco steamer since it didn’t allow any solution; it is just water. With dogs I want to have extra cleaning ability and disinfect; I don’t feel comfortable with just water especially since the Tineco didn’t get to an optimal temperature to kill and disinfect. So, it was between the crosswave and the S6 Stretch. I chose the S6 because it could lay flat, the solutions were cheaper (than Bissel) and the charge lasted longer. I’ve owned a crosswave before and the hose used to always come off and it was so short it was a pain to put back on. However, all of my Tineco machines have broken in under 1 year. It is because the detention to have them stand starts to wear and then they eventually fall to the floor and break. They break right at the joint into 3 pieces and water leaks out and they can never stand up again. I thought that maybe because this is designed to lay flat that maybe that joint won’t be a problem. It does look built differently so I am hoping.Next, it actually can get things out of corners and lay flat to go under the tables without the annoying shutoff and telling me to empty the dirty water. It has better suction and can pick up things (including pet hair) on the area rugs and mats. But still cannot do carpet nor deep cleaning on non-solid surfaces thus I need to use the regular vacuum; this isn’t a replacement.As far as cleaning is concerned it is way above and beyond their other models but, I still have to pull out the big vacuum to do deep cleaning, big messes, and vacuum the furniture and curtains. The Tineco has no hand-held attachment to actually clean the house! So you need the weigh this in as a factor that it is an additional appliance and it isn’t replacing anything.It does still have its routine to fill the tank, empty the tank, clean, and empty dirty water but it’s not annoying; it just says it once. You can also mute the audio. When it wants you to empty the dirty water tank it says to reduce odors not because it is full (it still tells you when it’s full too!).The clean water is a bit of a hassle to fill or maybe just awkward. It is a container on the base (instead of the back of the handle) and the item lays flat. It is very thin and if you turn your faucet on you could get sprayed with water as I have many times. It holds very little water and then you have to put the solution in too which I waste at least 1/3 trying to get it into the little hole. Taking the container on and off takes more time than it did on the other machines because seating it seems to be hit and miss; the 3, 5, and 7 there was only one way to insert the water tank so it was seconds. Maybe I just need more experience with it.Dirty water tank is the best upgrade! First there is a rubber seal around the opening so it doesn’t stink so much. However that rubber seal makes it very hard to pull it open so just keep tugging, it will come apart! Next, the water and solids are two separated part and without having to touch it you can empty the solids and then empty the liquid! Still messy but much easier to just dump the solids in the garbage, wipe it with a paper towel and good to go. Putting it back together is way better, as that little plastic piece for the solids no longer exists so no fall off into the toilet or wherever you dump the dirty water/waste! It is much easier to clean out with soap and water for the next use.The cleaning cycle actually is longer but it really cleans and dries the roller. Yep! dries the roller! No more soggy dirty messes or streaks on the floors! Gone are the days of having to use multiple rollers because one of them needs to dry out!Okay so lots of positives. Some some of the negatives or maybe trade offs:1. The charging base has no place to put extra filters, rollers and cleaner2. The machine profile is much higher so where I could go under my bed with the old machines this sits much higher off the floor and cannot.3. Has only auto, max, and suction mode. For me this is fine but if you liked the other setting, they aren’t there4. Smaller clean water tank, but dirty is bigger.5. Cleaning cycle is longer (double in length). While this is loud while running it does dry and do a great job at cleaning the roller6. Doesn’t use the same roller as all the other models. This model the roller and the arm that attaches to the base are separate parts.7. Charging base is 2x higher, but this is because it has a heater and a pan to remove the excess water.8. Supplies are not easy to find, just keep extras on hand.9. On/off and the cycle/mode buttons are in a bad place in the middle of the handle. Easy to accidentally turn it off or go to different mode as there’s not really a place for your hand. The clean button is still on top too so don’t grab the top of the handle either.10. No attachments to clean furniture, curtains, cobwebs, dust, thus you still need other means to clean all your surfaces.11. Not deep cleaning for rugs. Does a good job but not deep12. Still only for low pile rugs and hard floor surfaces, if you have thick carpet this machine doesn’t work.13. It cannot replace your vacuum, hand-held cleaning devices, nor dusting devices; it is an additionSummary of some pros:1. Wall socket plug is NORMAL; no big converter at the end2. Cleans and dries roller3. Battery operation is longer4. Annoying computer can be muted or volume lowered5. Can lay flat and clean under tables and chairs6. Cleans next to walls and in corners7. Better suction, picks up bigger items and more hair8. Sits up higher so it can pick up bigger items (like kibble) and do a better job on area rugs and mats.9. Can use the solution with it; unlike the steamer version that only allows water.10. Better dirty water and solids container11. Better with tile floors and grout12. Floors are not streaky and dry quickly13. Less water used and roller is less saturated.14. Reduces light cleaning times and solid floor cleaning times by 70%.15. Light weight, easy to maneuver can sweep, dust, vacuum, mop, and disinfectant floor surfaces of 3000 sq on one charge in 22 minutes with daily cleaning.

Cannot complain 1 bit. Clean my floors to the point I'm slipping on socks, and being able to both "sweep and mop" the house feels amazing. I unfortunately had the misfortune of he original battery no longer clipping to the Dry vacuum. Spoke with Tineco Customer service and they supplied me with a new entire battery. Now i have basically double the life.Even sent a Courtesy package of cleaning solution.Cons:- If you happen to clean lots of hair with the wet vacuum it can be pretty gross as it can tangle in the plastic square filter when tossing out the water. Other than that no issues- Dry vacuum has no way to stand on its own. The weight of the battery makes it top heavy resulting in it tipping over.- If you care for aesthetics, the grey areas on the Dry vacuum can get scuffed and marked pretty easy, no big deal for me but can be for other.- Not many solution options are available so not really many scents you can add. Reason being you cannot have it sud up like dish soap or else the sensors will be covered and the vacuum will give false readings.Pros:- Able to Dry vac/ wet Vac in half the time it would have taken me with a traditional broom and mop- Easy enough that everyone in the house can use it and even my grandmother with arm problems- Really powerful compared to my older Tineco A10 Dash- Charging is relatively fast, from 0% ill say it took about 1.5 hrs to reach full 100%- Customer service was *chef kiss* to say the least, they are awesome, responded fast, and provided me with a quick solutionI cannot say much on the dirt detection, for the most part the ring would be Blue. Ill say maybe at two points when using it it might have ramped up and half the ring went red for a moment.Just for testing reasons I through some soil on the floor, and it did ramp up to clean it confirming it works.However have no clue how sensitive it is.TL;DR: Need Dyson alternative then you got it here. Great customer service. No regrets on the purchase

This is a truly interesting surface floor cleaner and I'm actually shocked that I'm spending time to give my impression of it...but I think it is unique. Being cordless is wonderful and I do wish the charge would last a bit longer than the 30 or so minutes (as properly advertised), but that's not a deal breaker.The cleaner talks clearly to me, telling me how charged it is, when I need to re-charge it, and even (which is the best part) tells me when and how to clean it after use! There is very little mess with it (and I've had a number of others with great mess after use). It's best to use a laundry tub allowing the dirty water to go down the drain and having clean fresh water to rinse out the dirty water container and filter. I put down a couple of paper towels next to the tub to allow those items to dry off.The cleaner came with a nice bottle of their proprietary deodorizing and cleaning solution and you merely add a capful of it to mildly warm water filled to the line of the clean water tank.Of note is that when you turn on the cleaner by pushing the power on/off switch, the S6 Tineco has very little resistance and almost moves by itself. You shouldn't see a whole lot of wet floor since the machine judiciously uses the cleaning solution.So far (I've had the machine for about a month now), it works well as a floor SURFACE cleaner, however, it does not do a deep down clean that you'd probably get by being on your hands and knees. The other machines that I've had didn't do that either! It is lightweight and truly an economical product.
