I just got it for $284 (plus tax) hopefully it is worth it.
I got it a few days ago and love it. Of course the floors had been vacuumed and mopped a week before so there was not a lot of build up. I would say that if you use it regularly, at least once a week (we have one short haired dog and a cat) then it works great. There was a decent amount of clean up work, but with the auto clean and the tanks being easy to empty/fill/clean it is stilll way less work than a traditional vacuum and mop. However one important caveat: I think I would need to use it once a week for 3 years in order to justify the $300 I spent on it. It is worth $2 every time you use it. If you paid more than $300 and or if it breaks before 3 years then I would say no, it is not worth it. That means you need to buy at a discount and it needs to last 3 years, longer than the 2 year warranty.
We've had the S5 for 3 years and have had no issues with it. No good for carpets, fortunately we have none
NO!!! Tineco has been the worst purchase of my life. First, the charger broke after a month, then the suction motor. I complained, and they demanded I pay for shipping out of my own pocket. All I can read are hundreds of reviews with the same problems: it breaks, it's a pain to clean, and in the end, it doesn't work. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Oh, and they have the worst customer service ever. Don't buy from Tineco!
I LOVE my S5 from Tineco - my floors are now spotless and my once filthy floor is a thing of the past! Cleaning it is easy enough once you get used to it. The floor debris mixes with the water so it can get a little gross at times, but the ease of use is worth a little bit of gross floor water imo.
YES!! It's self propelling which makes like easier if you have a bad back like I do haha!
I love the Tineco S5 - it's super convenient and it's made my floors spotless. New apartment was shockingly FILTHY before, but getting rid of the floor water was super satisfying. It charges quickly, and self cleans. I will be sticking with Tineco long after this one gives up or needs upgrading, but I think it'll be with us for a long while.
They're expensive but I have a Tineco mop vacuum - it's easy to use and you can take the roller out.
Only good for the first month or so of charges. My tineco tho? Yep. Love it.
It comes with 2 batteries, and it seemed to pick up a ton of junk that my Dyson failed to pick up. Tbh I joke when I got the tineco is how I knew I was grown up. I spent 2 weeks vacuuming *everything* and it picked up *so* much that the Dyson wasn't. Literally canisters full and I vacuum near daily.
Oh thanks! Except the tineco comes with way more... and an extra battery so I can actually vacuum my entire house. Not only that it pulled up a disgusting amount of grime that my 3yr old Dyson couldn't... and they have way better customer service and replacement parts are affordable... and the intial purchase is significantly less than a dyson..... as someone with pets, kids and wears shoes in the house. Go find a goose!
Tbh, hubs got me a tineco as a present and I had never heard of it before. So sure. I apparently am in a cult I've never heard of, for a vacuum that I love cuz its a ***good*** stick vacuum? Ok habe fun with that one :) I still prefer my 15 yr old hoover upright pet vacuum that weighs like 20lbs but due to disability i can barely lift these days. Sorry for recommending a good, affordable option that **in my experience** out performs Dyson in every way. Have a good one 👍
And FYI both the carpet and floor bars come with built in lights... and its already 2 years old 😂
Agree with posters on using as supplemental vacuum. That said I have a thing for vacs lol I do have a Tineco wet vac. It’s not bad. It’s easy to use and gets the job done. No experience with their stick vacs. I have a dyson v…have no idea. it has the light thing. it did ok job picking up. Needs maintenance of course. What drove me crazy was the dirt not coming out of the bin easily.. Would be a big wad of dust that I have to bang to get out or stick my hand..gross. I just got the Shark powerdetect with the auto-empty a few weeks ago. Been nice not messing with the cloud of dust. Haven’t had to empty the main bin yet. Costco has it on sale now here in the US. All that to say if you do go for a stick vac, might be worth checking out the auto empty versions if your budget allows.
