I use a tinneco pure 1 to vacuum 1200 square feet twice or more a day. Been going for over a year now with minimal maintenance. Battery lasts a long time (I’ve never run it down to zero now that I think about it….). We have 5 dogs and 3 kids. It works great. We keep it clean. I change filters and regularly and I empty the station 2-3 times a week.
I just used my 18 month old tinneco battery stick vacuum that’s cleaned somewhere around 800,000 square feet of hard wood with 5 days and 3 kids. For the second time today. Battery didn’t die, canister didn’t get full. I put it back on the base and it emptied the canister, cleaned the filters and the beater. Pretty convenient.
I have a golden retriever in my apartment and Ive used a tineco a50s for like 6 months now. It folds up which is nice for closet storage, has this sensor thing that automatically boosts power when it hits dirt/hair.
I’m in an apartment with a long-haired cat too. I use the Tineco Pure One A50S. It folds to fit in a closet, has a sensor that boosts suction when it detects dirt, and gets along edges and under furniture. Battery lasts me about 40- 70 minutes which is enough for the whole place. If you’re thinking about buying one, wait for Black Friday, I didn’t, and now I regret paying full price.
I’ve tried cordless options like Tineco too super lightweight and easy to handle, but sometimes the extra tech or the smaller bin makes them feel more complicated than helpful.
I was in almost the same boat and ended up with a Tineco PURE ONE. I mainly grabbed it because it was under $200, but I’ve actually been really happy with it. It works as both a stick vacuum and a handheld, and it’s perfect for quick messes. The battery has been totally fine for small cleanups like hair and litter, but has gotten iffy a couple of times when I’m trying to detail my whole car. If you’re still deciding, [check out the detailed comparison thread](https://www.reddit.com/u/lacking_foyer48/s/C5YNcaeFWo) another redditor put together. Made it way easier for me to narrow things down without getting lost in all the options.
If cordless is what you’ll actually use, Tineco might be worth a look. I’ve had okay results with their stick vacs on both carpet and hard floors, and the bin is easy enough to clean. Not perfect, but it’s been practical for regular use.
Why torn? Stick vacs are awesome. I just wish there were more USA made models, until then it’s MAC bid or tineco brand for the win
Get the Tineco products. I have the stick vac, the floor mop and the wet dry spot vac. All of these have performed without issue for years for us vs the dyson stick and we went through 3 of the Bissell spot cleaners (pet and auto ones). Best part is all 3 of these cost the same as one Dyson
We use a Tineco stick vacuum and love it! 10/10 would recommend!
