Watch this before you buy a Tineco!

- After a few months with the Tineco S5 Extreme, I have a few followup thoughts I'd love to share so you can be an informed consumer. These are 100% my opinion, for the cost of this machine I had higher expectations.
This vacuum is a game changer.
My house is spotlessly clean ..cleaning the water tank is no menace at all
I simply Love my Tineco
Best and happy purchase
Thanks for sharing your experience. I watched a ton a videos and this is the most honest review I have encountered so far. Kudos to your channel!
Thank you for the review. I will be upgrading my tineco s3 to s5. Cleaning the machine afterwards is not a big deal, I would clean my bucket and mop and then have to throw my mop to the washer machine, so 5 minutes of cleaning this is a win win for me. Plus you can leave it ready for next time. I leave mine ready all the time. I do use the Mr. Clean solution that kills 99% germs and it works well and my home smells amazing. I never clean when my little one sleeps, maybe try cleaning at the beginning of the day or when your daughter is playing with some toys. I haven’t come across a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t make noise so … I don’t know what to say after all. this is a vac and mop so is expected to be loud. I also tried the bissel and guess what? You also have to clean it after you use it. Dirty water sitting there whether is in a container or in a pond will always smell… the machine does come with 2 rollers so just empty it put the roller to dry and get the other roller ready. I hope those tips work for you, keep enjoying your vacuum.
Don't do it
Agree totally..any vacuum use need to clean OUT..too a lot of 409 similar cleaning products can be used not the $25 cleaner came with it …I think she could of shortened the review at the beginning. Why vacuum when anyone is napping 💤 😁
Wow.
This is a tough room, eh? 😉
Nice to have ppl around who know what they want.
i have a very similar Tineco mop/vac.... and you are 110% correct on needing to clean out the "parts" of the Tineco after each use. That said, its not too bad once you get used to it. Also, I prefer the Tineco for its hard-floor cleaning, and because its easy to clean it after its used.
Thank you very much for sharing your honest experience. It‘s helps me a lot for making decision.
Thanks for all the great sharing. You have provided to full details that I need where I can’t find anywhere after 3 days searching. This information is very valuable for my decision make. Thank you so much❤
I am so glad I was able to help! My hope was to level set everyones expectations before spending money.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I just purchased the S5 Steam, the plan is to use it on my fairly clean floor. I did notice some reviews were picking up egg and other debris and I thought that was odd as it will be harder cleaning the machine compared to wipe up using a towel. I hope you have gotten over the initial issues and that you are happier with the use and maintenance. Luckily I purchased mine while their was £100 off and I also found a 15% discount coupon, so thought it was worth a go.
Thanks for posting. I do agree that I wouldn’t use it for cleaning large gunky messes. And yes it’s an additional step to clean the parts. But it’s necessary. I mean where is all that stuff going to go? Which leads me to my final thought. I find that when I clean with a regular mop no matter what I’m just pushing around the same dirty water on my floor. Unless I mop at least 3 times in a row with changing water. And THAT I don’t have time FOR. My Tineco cleans my floor much more thoroughly than plain mopping. And I’m also switching and washing mop heads for the mop. So for me my Tineco so far comes out ahead. But once again thanks for your post and valid points!
yes, my hubby took my Tineco to his tiled cellar, and managed to clog it up with mud and stones, and then it leaked muddy water everywhere. of course he said my new vacuum was rubbish.... so no, it's not going to do a very gross clean up job.
Why doesn’t he have a shop vac
I agree but sharing the fact it’s a must is great.. I took us a while to understand we need to clean it every time….
at least not like back in the day we had to do it manually like twisting and rinse the mop few times to make sure it fully clean from detergent and soap.
I 100% agree! That’s literally what we do when we mop the floor! We are just using dirty water and we are just spreading it all over. When I do mop like that, I use a long handle foam squeegee to wipe up all the dirty water, that will just dry onto my floor. I purchased a Hizero about 5 or 6 years ago, for that reason. Every day use and my floor was always spotless. I’m upgrading to a tineco now, only due to the roller. We just put new flooring in and I think the roller in the tineco will get into the tiny textured grooves a bit more. Once you get a mop/vac you never go back 🤣
I think that was a super helpful video it didn't change my mind about purchasing but it helped me with my expectations I will always be vacuuming first and then using it just as a mop again thank you
Thank you very much. I watched the Tineco video from the mfgr. & was confused. After watching your video, I'm all over it so thank you. Great job!
Glad it helped!
If you pull the dirty water tank apart and throw the parts into a sink of fresh water they are very easy to clean under a running tap. I can have all the washable parts cleaned in a few minutes and the machine is fresh and ready for next use. Personally I dont find this a big negative. I love my Tineco.
Absolutely agree 👍
Good job on the video, I love your honesty. This is made me a bit more cautious to look at all the information out there at bit more before I make my purchase. Thanks.
So helpful. Liked commented and subcribed. I hope most reviews will be this honest to people.
Thanks for this honest review! It really helps making a decision on whether to buy this or not!
I just moved from an apartment after living there for 19 years and with carpet to a place that doesnt have carpet at all. I can tell you that just like the tineco you also have to clean the shampooer everytime you clean the carpets, so that isnt a deal breaker for me, because I would clean it ever single time anyways. I have the extreme and I do not regret a thing about it. Ive been vacuuming then washing the floors and I could not believe the amount of stuff it picks up. I guess its just personal preference because I would not trade it for anything unless it was upgraded version of the tineco
I love this machine. My advice is 1. always plan to clean it after (it really isn't that much work especially after getting used to it) , and 2. If you have dogs or cats that shed, do a dry mop with a Swiffer or vacuum to collect all the hair first
I've seen so many review videos lately as I'm looking for a wet vacuum cleaner and almost in each of them the reviewer mentioned this: for best results it is recommended to dry vacuum first then use the wet vacuum… just saying 🙂
Exactly.
Kinda defeats the purpose...
@@Tokoroegao yea but it's the same with every other wet/dry vac unless you get one of those self cleaning robot ones, but my friend has a very high end one and she has to clean it more than expected as well. The tech aint quite there yet for these bad boys, but still a time saver, the cleaning after takes 2-3 minutes for me, but I do live in a 1/1 apt.
True. So I ended up buying a regular cordless vaccuum and still do my cleaning the old way. @@zeds_dead
I will say, I have the Bissel Heat Pro that I clean my furniture with, and it is the same thing with cleaning. It’s not that bad to clean the machine every time. I find it satisfying with how much dirt was actually in my furniture.
I have the crosswave with steam, and agree 100% about the dirty water tank
I appreciate you! In March 2023, I purchased the floor one s5 steam. I have enjoyed my machine having four children. However it now keeps shutting down after telling me " Dirty water tank full", the machine has been well maintenanced and the tank is not full. :( Thus far Tineco has been cooperating. I wish i had done my research, Lesson Learned.. Because I learned the Hard way on this one, I have since Purchased A Miele, cannister vacuum and my ONLY complaint is the cord length.. Thank you for your bravery making your videos!!!
There is a video on Google why the tineco is shutting down and what you can do.
Thank you very much! It helps me to make a decision between s12 and s5
Thanks for sharing all the con's!
My fiance bought me the tineco one s5 last year thru amazon and i had the same issue but i liked it that it sweeps and mops everything. One tip i can give you is rince the tank and then soak it in hot water. Then let it air dry:) .. we recently got a refund thru the warranty because we had issues with the battery and i missed it after not having it for 3 weeks. I ended up buying another one with the credit the warranty gave us
Thank you for this review. I was thinking of buying one fpr prime day and I agree, I personally don't want to go through the trouble of cleaning it. I'd probably use it less because of that reason.
I bought the S7 Pro. I'm very happy with it. I never realized cordless made cleaning so fast and easy! My floors are tile and hardwood. I foster cats so there's dirty feet coming in the house all day. This machine cleans exceptionally well, better than my Hoover or Bissell ever did. I've gone through 3 of those! No leakage, it picks up all the cat hair. Leaves the floor almost dry. The DWT does fill quickly. I'm waiting to buy extra tanks so I don't have to stop as much. I love it self cleans the roller. Saves me from having to do that. I don't have some of the issues you have, maybe the S7 corrected those. I did do my homework. I know the faults of the other machines. The motors don't last and so many areas leak if not cleaned properly. I'm planning on buying the steam cleaner too. Thanks for the tip on using alcohol. Though it is nice you don't go through the solution as fast (unless you use Ultra mode)! I like the fresh, clean but faint smell it leaves behind. It doesn't bother any of the kitties. Thanks for posting!
Is the S7 Pro still the Tineco brand ? And is the main function to vacuum hard surface floors ?
@@SleeplessinOC Yes, still Tineco. It vacuums fine, even kibble. I'm used to vacuuming beforehand but I'm realizing you don't need to. Kitties go in and out all day with dirty feet and loose hair. Floors are clean and beautiful! Hair doesn't get stuck anywhere. It goes in the dirty water tank and gets dumped in the toilet.
Very good review! I will give more time to see if this product works best for my home. Thank you!
This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
I love is video mine got so gross I thought I could just run a clean cycle. And it would be fine to thanks for putting this video out.
Thanks for your informative review!
I just bought this vacuum. I'd done my research and knew about having to clean the vacuum. It's not a problem. It takes maybe 5 minutes. So far, I really like it.
Thank you for this! Great advice!
Hi, thank you for your video and your perspective on Tineco. So I just purchased mine couple weeks ago and so far I am loving it. Yes, I do not have 2 months of use behind my belt like you do, however, I do not agree with you. Every mop needs to be cleaned after every use. I really don’t think it’s a lot of work. I usually leave everything air drying after every use. Take the brush out and stand it up. I also don’t have a lot of dirt in my house as I try to keep it really clean (having a baby that is starting to crawl). I suggest cleaning more often. Places with more hair (bathroom?) I would vacuum clean first. I think this machine is worth the hype. I love it. Thank you!
If one is accustomed to just vacuuming in between mopping days, then there's no cleaning of the vacuum every time it's used.
Just sayin'.
Thanks for this video! I just purchased the I floor 2 on Black Friday from Walmart. It’s going back!
I so wish I was able to return mine haha
The spitting is new to me. None other TH-camrs mentioned it. Thanks. What I know from other videos, ;though - its self-cleaning is better than any other.
spitting is only due to her vac bottom portion clogged up. i have tried using my bidet to hose it down, 10 seconds and its good as new. perhaps i might make a video to help out. she used wet tissue which made her feel its alot of work, hosing it down is the way to go ;)
This is really helpful. Thanks soooo much! ❤
You're so welcome!
We just replaced our flooring in our 2250 sq ft home….went with LVP. I bought the Tineco iFloor 3 and I’ve been wondering where this magic machine has been all my life! Yes, you do have to clean it out after using it but I just put down a hand towel and place all the rinsed parts on it to dry. I would much rather have this than a smelly old mop head. All in all, a cordless wonder tool! 😎
Appreciate your honesty and thanks for sharing. Definitely helpful for me in deciding if it's th3 right solution. I've one question though.. Does the hair get tangled in the roller? Thanks again!
This is the beat review ever.. i almost bought this thing but after seeing all the extra cleaning work, filling a mop bucket and emptying a mop bucket is way easier to me than all that…
I am so glad I helped, I thought I would be able to use this machine pop it on the base use self cleaning mode and empty. I wasn't expecting to do much more :)
This video helped a lot. Thank you. I had been considering one of these. I have a cat and a lot of laminate flooring and I had thought one of these would make my life easier but I doubt that it will. Having to dry mop with a Swiffer or microfibre cloth first before using this to wash the floor totally defeats the purpose of having an all in one. I'll stick with my Dyson vacuum and microfibre damp mop.
You can use any cleaner made for carpet cleaner machines. I use the Bissel one on my tineco, which I prefer because they have a antibacterial version.
Very valid points
God bless you. This review was on point. Thanks a lot
You are much younger than me. With my bad back I prefer standing at the sink rinsing out the parts to lugging around water which gets dirty so fast and has to be changed out. This just feels cleaner to me too. To each his own, there is no way to get by without some kind of effort in cleaning. I was happy to see your only con was cleaning it and the price of the solution. I'm wondering if vinegar would dry any rubber parts out, I clean a lot with vinegar because of my asthma.
Thanks for sharing this video, very useful
It’s like a mop so when I mop my floor I can’t leave dirty water in the bucket or it will smell, so ya I get that if you use it you have to dump the dirt ! But thanks for that info 🤟🏾
And it’s a vacuum. Anyone have a quiet vacuum?
@@fredr5664only for quiet messes.
Omg, I’ve never heard so much whining about minor issues. I’ve got the same machine and having used MANY vacuums and hard floor cleaners over the years, this is by far one of the best and most user friendly machines I’ve used.
You’re complaining that you need to dump the dirty water after you use it, and also complaining the water is “icky” and dirty … well duuuh! It’s dirty mop water! Tip it down the sink, rinse it out under the tap, and leave it on the side to air dry. I just timed myself doing mine, it took 11 seconds! Get a grip.
You could go back to using a traditional vacuum, and then mop and bucket. But be warned you will need to dump the dirty mop water when you’re done!
It wakes my baby up, well it’s a vacuum cleaner! They aren’t silent…. And for cleaning up after builders messes, I’d recommend a shop vac for that - ps they make noise too
Please disinfect whichever sink you tip it down. The entire sink or at least all the surfaces affected by the water used in cleaning. And dry it somewhere other than your clean sink.
Just an idea put forward. You probably already were doing those things.
Great honest review!
I have to agree with you. I just got a Bissell Crosswave and it's going back. I'm going back to my deck mop and swiffer
have you considered putting a tiny bit of vinegar in the dwt? I personally haven't had the "smell" issue, but i do remember with my Bissell how gross the water is when you finally empty it.
obviously not a sponsored review. thanks. all of these automatic mops need the cleaning you describe, but I have a Hizero and it is easier to clean. it is by no means perfect, but the cleanup isn't bad and all it requires is dumping the dirty water and very easy debris cleaning - no awful smells ever.
Hi there! I sub'd for you. The channels I see really take off are those who start putting out daily content. Nothing major, but frequent. Live streams work cuz there's no editing. Plus you can take questions and that way your audience is providing art of yr content. Also just doing a quick live to make an announcement or to talk about something in the news is really a nice thing for us. We LOVE hearing from you. It doesn't have to be perfect or even be a big deal. You can do a live where you're mainly just asking us what we want or our opinions about all kinds of things.
You just touched me. So I gave you my 2cents worth. Go girl!!!
Thank you for the video. Good info.
thanks for the video and your perspective! personally, the work of filling up a bucket multiple times and having to ring out a mop is HELLLLLL to me. having to just clean the wetvac parts seems easy enough especially since i don't think i'll have to clean the roller each time manually since it does the self-cleaning. lastly, like other commenters have mentioned, they vacuum beforehand which to me isnt a huge deal either because i already use a vacuum and its super fast. i think it comes down to our individual preferences for what is more work for us. thanks again for the video :)
Thank you for sharing i currently have the regular s7 and thinking of exchanging it for the s7 steam. I only wish the battery would last longer unless I have a bad battery but it discharges pretty quickly.
Thanks for your honest review, I would pass on this after seeing your review and also the exhorbitant cost
I have a similar vacuum-mop and I agree the cleanup after using the machine is a lot of work. This is really a mop appliance. If you dry-vacuum your floors first you avoid most of the hair getting stuck everywhere in the vac-mop but then you are no longer vacuuming and mopping at the same time.
When I am just cleaning 1 or 2 rooms I find the Bissell SpinWave is less cleanup. I vacuum first, then use the SpinWave to mop. After I'm done I empty the remaining clean water and throw the dirty mop pads in the laundry basket to wash with my towels.
Love my Tineco iFLOOR 3 Breeze Complete. It isn't a hassle for me to clean it after every mopping because I use my Tineco A10 cordless vacuum first, then use the 3 Breeze to mop. The 3 Breeze is much sturdier than the A10, no doubt. Have two more Hoover cordless vacuums (ONEPWR Evolve Elite and the HEPA ONEPWR Bagged upright) in case the A10 breaks on me, but not worried about the Breeze at all. Can you tell I don't like corded vacuums anymore? I do have a corded Hoover Wind Tunnel 3, but truthfully, the Hoover and Tineco cordless vacuums do just as good at picking up dirt and dust as the plug in Hoover, and no cords. Spare batteries and chargers make all the difference as well.
Thank you for this! I think ill just stick with my vacuum and then mop routine. I have 6 indoor dogs, so i NEED something that picks up all that dog hair!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for the information. I too have a Tineco vacuum mop.
Being 77 years old and having an arthritic body, this mop has allowed me to have clean floors once again. I don’t mind standing up, rinsing out the parts because it’s way too hard for me to do it the old fashion way.
This is the best gift my grandson ever gave me. One thing I’ve never been able to find the answer too is how to turn the ladies voice down? I’ve watched many videos but no luck. I even asked Google, again no luck. Is there a way to turn down the volume or off?
I don't know if we have the same model, but there is a button at the back of the vacuum. Press 3 seconds and the sound is off. I'm not sure if all the models have that button.
True, I think even my neighbours can hear the lady in the machine 😂😂
Great review and the same reasons I decided to pass on this vacuum mop. I decided to go with the Hizero Bionic mop and I love it! Was able to get 15% off which made it cheaper than Tineco and its leaps and bounds better with performance and cleaning. You may want to check it out when your ready for a change. Take care!
Thank you! I saw your comment and had never heard of Hizero! I’ve been researching for an hour now and am definitely getting one!
@bonniebranch6083 You're very welcome. As long as you have level flat surfaces it's going to he fantastic...I'm loving mine!
Thank you for your comment, like others I had not heard of Hizero. I'll look into it :)
@happilyeverchristie You're welcome. I have been using for about 2 weeks now and one thing I have started to notice is that if your floors are not totally flat it doesn't so as well. Flat floors it's fine but tile or textured and it will not clean as well. I may be looking into something else for that reason. Thanks 😊
The vacuum wars people also agree with you as I just checked out the review on their channel.
This saved me a purchase! I wish I could like three times!!
Great review. Very detailed.
Thank you kindly!
Thanks for sharing. For some reason, my filter does not get dirty enough to need to clean out. I finger wipe the areas near the roller and then run water over them in the sink, then let them air dry.
I find less solution is ok. I bought some bissell crosswave solution and used a very small amount 50ml. My tapwater is around 140c.
Also if the roller is dirty, wash it under running water before running the clean cycle so it comes out dryer.
I agree there are a few steps to it, but when doing all the main areas the extra steps seem ok for the results and time saving.
I normally run a self clean, empty and quick rinse of the parts. Use one (filter, roller) and dry one. Set the dry one on for next time; proper clean once a month. I’ve got the steam version. Best machine I’ve bought for my home
I do wish I’d seen a review like this before I bought mine. No one else shows how to clean and maintain these things in their reviews! And the worst part is, it doesn’t seem to do a good job scrubbing the floor. It doesn’t look like I mopped afterwards because all the spots that were there before will still be there. Anyway, great review!
I completely agree with you. Also, cleaning around toilets and getting into corners is hard. I wish I would have watched your video before I bought mine.
Very helpful review.
I usually run the self cleaning mode more than once so when I empty the dirty water tank very few things remain. I prefer doing that than using a mop because with the mop you cannot constantly change the water so indeed you are spreading dirty water around.
Thank you so much for this video! I have 2 dogs that shed ALOT! And my hair also is everywhere so knowing that I have to clean this device after I clean each time helped me make my decision.! This seems like so much work to clean it up!
I find cleaning it is relatively quick, a finger wipe and rinse under the tap for the gunk near the vacuum entrance, and roller cover. I'd do that before running the final self clean (if you have a large home). Bissell makes some that seem ok foe pets. Maybe they are better with hair. Also, on Amazon I managed to get 4 rollers, and 8 filters and a cutting board for $20. The rollers were the right length and good.
It takes a few minutes to clean. It's not difficult or time consuming.
it has a self-clean, and there's a second roller and filter, so it's not a big deal. actually, you should be cleaning most vacuums often anyway, and stick vacuums have the same demands, even though most people don't bother.
Thank you so much for this video I am doing my research as we are having a large home built and we will have all wood & tile flooring so I will neeeeed to minimize the time spent on the floors so a single device that does it all will be useful and its between a Tineco and a Dyson. So thank you
Did you get the Tineco or the Dyson? That's where I'm at too.
Thank you for your review. You provided the exact insight I was looking for!
I think you should get ahold of the company because I have one and I have 4 dogs who shed like crazy and I have long hair that gets everywhere and it picks up everything including the hair, so it’s possible that there’s something wrong with the one you bought, I would call the company and have them replace it with a new one, also you are able to use other cleaners with it. They just have to be a low foam based cleaner and only use small amounts. I have a big house so my only issue with it is it only has 20min of run time, other than that it works perfectly, and picks up everything and does everything it’s supposed to do.
Hi, I didn’t get a Tineco because I was told it requires connection to your WiFi or cell data for updates. And to get those updates it connects to a Chinese server which could be downloading who knows what. So I’m wondering if it’s been your experience that you have to have it connected to use the machine or can you refrain from it completely? I ended up getting a Bissel Crosswave Pet and it’s been great, if you ever decide to change this would be a good option though it is somewhat similar. Like it definitely should be cleaned after every use but it’s pretty simple to do so. And one thing I def appreciate more since hearing your experience is I can use other cleaners. The Bissel cleaner is good but sometimes you want to use your own stuff. I haven’t had any issues with that and I’ve used all sorts of things in it. Pine Sol, Clorox, Lysol, Mr clean etc etc.
Thanks for any info, I like what I got but have wondered if the WiFi/china servers/can download anything is real…
Thank you for your honest review. It's hard to find useful in depth reviews like yours.
Great video! --- We've been using a different brand model for 2 years now, and same experience with the cleaning effort. Looks like these companies aren't there yet with their wet vacuums.
I'd rate this extra effort even more important than the quality of the clean, or "how many passes to clean up xyz".
It takes me less than a minute to clean it, after I used it. I have had it for a year now and is making my life much easier, having a 7yo and a dog at home. Worth every £ I paid for it but, that's my personal opinion 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks for the review. My opinion is that I would have to clean my regular mop and bucket, which takes the same amount of time as this, if not less time. As far as fine wood/construction dust, I dont think most vacuums are made to clean that up. Shop vacs are. For example, dry wall dust will ruin filters on regular vacuums, and I would assume the same for this machine. I just bought my S5 Pro 2. There is a tag to register the unit, and you get a free bottle of cleaning solution - just pay shipping. This machine is more quiet then my shark navigator vacuum, and it has way less noise than the crosswave.
I have 3 kids and 2 cats and I find that this saves a lot of time despite having to clean the parts. It’s like using a mop bucket u have to rinse it out, clean the mop head etc. With the mop/bucket method, you keep using dirty water to “clean” your floors 🤢 I would say the ONLY con for me is that it is not edge to edge. On one side of the vacuum it does clean the edge, but on the other side it doesn’t and no online review mentions that so I’m wondering if mine is just a lemon?
It is a bit more time to clean the unit after you clean the floor. However, the effort it takes to clean the floor in my eyes is a lot less. I don't have to lug around a bucket of water and then clean that after. So I really don't mind the extra 2 mins it takes to clean the machine. Taking it apart really doesn't take more than a couple mins and it really beats an old dirty mop head. Worst case if you don't have time you can do the minimum of taking the roller out, dumping the water and quickly cleaning the tank. I do 2 sometimes 3 self cleans and it helps a lot. I bought the cheapest model at the time or almost. Bought it about a year ago and I'm about to buy the carpet cleaner. This with a robot vac has saved my sanity 😂
Thank you so much ♥️
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of buying this to clean my kitchen and bathrooms (everything else is carpet) and having to do such a tedious vacuum cleaning after every use would really not be worth it.
I agree with you. I got a similar wet vacuum from Bissell and I was surprised with how much time it takes to clean it just to use it again. And not only that but also the fact that after a while it doesn’t matter how much you clean it, but filters and rollers need to be replaced because they just stink. And that’s expensive. Some in the comments are saying it’s normal and that you would have to do it too if it was a normal mop and bucket, but actually it’s nothing compared. I honestly regret my purchase because having to spend 20 min cleaning the machine every time I need to use it (and I have 4 cats so I use it a lot for short cleaning sessions) it’s way more than just grabbing my Dyson and separate mop and then throwing out the dirty water and washing mop head in the washing machine. This is a 500$ vacuum so the pros need to outweigh the cons significantly and in my opinion it’s not the case. I wish I had seen a review like this before because it talks about daily use of the device and if I had known I would have kept my money or bought something else.
Thank you so much for your thorough review on this wet dry vacuum. I literally was two minutes away from purchasing it. I was originally going to buy just a vacuum but then came across this one and said yes this product would be great for me. One stop shop. I get vacuum and mop at the same time. But after hearing your review I definitely don’t want to deep clean the vacuum after every use. I say deep clean cause that’s what it would feel like. Lol. You did an excellent review. Maybe deep cleaning and spending money on the cleaner wouldn’t be a deal breaker for some but me it is. So thank you for that. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos. 😊
I think everything you said was valid . Especially what you said about the hair . For me I don’t think it actually sounded like more work just different work. Like complaining about cleaning the machine made me feel like you don’t dump your mop bucket multiple times during mopping or clean the bucket when done . From your reaction I think the bigger problem for you is you personally are super off put by wet crumbles so it feels like a bigger chore than dry crumbs and separate dirty water. I’m not judging it’s just something i noticed since I’m also super off put by wet hair , crumbs and old food.
I think the average person without the sensory sensitivities wouldn’t even notice it as extra
wow good info and thanks for this
My only question is, can it clean under the bed, under the shelf area...or you need another vacuum to reach under the bed, sofa and etc? Thanks for your honest review btw!
I have the s3, 2 years now, laminate flooring, 2 dogs, a baby and we are making a lot of mess all day all of us. Im using the tineco every day, sometimes 2 times per day. A lot of dog hair . My cons are, that really spits the hair out after wile of using, cannot go to the corners of the floor and that is frustrating for me because I have to use always before or after the hand vacuum for the corners. Leaves a lot of hair behind, but today i was reading that i sould change the brush roller every 3 months. I will see with the new ones if perfomes better.
Try "Fabulous" instead of "PineSol." It has a neutral PH and therefore will not suds up on you. That's what I use in my Bissell Crosswave. No need to purchase Tine's branded cleaner.
Gracias me encantó tu video y fue y seguirá siendo de mucha utilidad gracias por tomarte el tiempo y ayudar a encontrar lo que realmente necesito. 😊
THANK YOU !!! I was going to purchase this kind of wet-dry vaccum cleaner, but after watching your video I TOTALLY CHANGED my mind about getting one ! I don't want all that cleaning of the darn thing after ive used it for 5 minutes to clean my floors. I dont want to touch all the dirty stuff on that vacuum and pulling out all kinds of wet hairs and what not !!!! OMG you saved me spening a lot of money for a useless crap !!! THANK YOU ! I will just stick to my regular dry vacuum cleaner and a basic mop !
Thanks for the info
Thank you for the review. I like you expected this to be a little easier. I thought it would be just dumping dirty water and use self cleaning mode.
I dont know why people are so upset about OUR opinion.
The cons you mentioned are just so people can level set their expectations.
Thank you very much for your comment. Some people are commenting as if they created the vacuum hehe
I've heard you can use a cleaning vinegar with water as a different cleaner for the vacuum. But I would double check that
Really thorough and thoughtful review. I have a cheaper lower model Tineco and agree with the ‘cons.’ That said, (1) I use much less cleaner. I actually think hot water by itself does a pretty good job, (2) like me, you have a pretty diverse set of conditions, women with long hair in the house and pet hair and I have yet to find any solution that those would not be issues (ie my Miele vacs rollers always have long hair on them). (3) all mopping solutions from manual to electric has some gunk cleaning and drying of parts. I got tired or wringing out swiffer and sponge type mops and spraying down solvents etc… Tineco seems easiest to me. (4) there really isn’t another option in the wet floor cleaning space, Bissell, Hoover? Not thanks. (5) I am fortunate to have a cordless floor vac that I prevac the kitchen floor to get up the big debris and then use my Tineco 1 to wet clean the area, like I did with the old fashioned mops, making the water and buildup less gunky. (6) you are dead on right about smell when cleaning a day late. But I just send thru a couple extra cleaning cycles and it gets rid of smell. Thanks again!
I just bought one, used it once and was overwhelmed by the vacuum cleaning process. I actually want to return it but what is a good alternative to clean my hardwoods? We have them all through the house
Great review
I bet the low sud laundry soap for front loading washers would be just perfect for this machine. Most people have that on hand anyway. That's what I'd be using. Needing to clean it after is still a lot less than lugging a mop, bucket, filling w/ water. Needing to rinse the mop, and likely change the water a time or so. Then needed to rinse and ring the mop at the end, and empty a few buckets full of water. Much more work to do that, not to mention manually scrubbing your floor. This takes the elbow grease out and this model is even self propelled.
I have a 1.2 sqft apartment. Making a mop bucket and then putting the microfiber head into the wash and dryer takes sooo much longer. You can get away with instantly cleaning by just rinsing it off after each use. It’s like a stick Dyson. It won’t replace it all.
Very helpful! I am starting my research journey and was thinking about buying this even though it is super expensive. I have 2 dogs that shed and I find myself constantly sweeping then mopping and it's becoming tiring. This does not sound like it would be ideal for those of us with dogs that shed for it sounds like the clumps of hair get so soggy it spits them right back out.
Glad to help! It doesn’t happen all the time but just enough that it’s annoying. If you have steps in your house this is also not ideal to clean steps. I don’t think the machine is the worst thing ever but for the price point I had higher expectations.
Very informative
I have Zero issues clean the machine. I do the same with my Tineco cordless vacuum. Keeps it fresh every time you use it.
