Acrobatic-Diamond209Tineco. I have the Pure One S11 I beiieve and it picks up anything. They also sell a separate hardwood floor head for it which I bought because we dont really have carpets and the out of the box vacuum is a dual hardwood/carpet. I've tried the Dyson at my SIL's house and for a family I housekeep for and it cant even pick up dry cat food pieces. So frustrating.
JustinP_RTINGSIn our testing, the tineco outperformed the samsung jet 75 in hardfloor, high pile carpet, and low pile carpet debris pickup, but the jet 75 did better with pet hair on carpet. Both have replaceable batteries, but they are both older models, so I don't know how long spare batteries will be available for from the manufacturers. Costco has always been much more relaxed on their returns in my personal experience, but I wouldn't say I've had a bad experience with a return at Best Buy other than having to pay a restocking fee for specific items. The return window at bestbuy is much shorter though (15/30 days vs 90 days).
maggsiferUse this one at a clients house and I really like it [Tineco on Amazon](https://a.co/d/fYeLFxT)
Wide_Cover8139In that price range, the Tineco Pure One S11 or S12 is a beast. It’s significantly quieter than a Dyson and has an iLoop sensor that adjusts suction based on how dirty the floor is, which actually saves a ton of battery. For hardwood and rugs, it’s a dream. I’ve had mine for two years for daily quick cleanups and the reliability has been top-notch. It feels way more lightweight than the older Shark models too.
ExcellentGur8928Tineco S11, check consumer reports for the latest updates, I like mine alot!
Latter_Ordinary_9466You might like the Tineco S11. It’s usually in that price range and works really well for mostly hardwood with a bit of carpet. Super easy to use in an apartment and light enough that it doesn’t feel like a chore to pull out.
I’ve been using a Tineco cordless for a while. Battery lasts about 25–30 min, cleans hardwood and small rugs well, and picks up cat hair fine. I just empty the bin and clean the brush now and then, and it keeps working.
jimschoiceI wonder this as well. I have had lots of brands over the years, but not a Miele or Riccar. My favorite is my Dyson Cinetic canister. The suction is so much stronger than anything I have ever used. I have been using it for about 8 years now. Hopefully it never dies as they don’t make it anymore. For quick pickup of cat fur and liter I use a Tineco S1 stick.
bugaboo754I 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’m in sort of of the same boat. My wife trains service dogs and we have 5 dogs (and 3 kids) in the house. Also, because 5 dogs, my back yard is a mud farm and everything is coated in a layer of dirt. We have a tinneco pure 1 (it’s a stick vacuum with a base compartment). We vacuum the main part of the house where the dogs are (living room, laundry, entry, kitchen dining room). The living room really is the place we vacuum, 3-4 times a day but everything listed gets hit at least once a day (maybe twice in rainy days). We decided that making vacuuming convenient was more important than doing it super well (cause let’s face it, it’s gonna be dirty again in 5 minutes) and reliability took a back seat to convenience. So for us convenience > reliability > performance. We didn’t think ANY vacuum would make our floors 100% clean, so we didn’t try. Just get them 80% and but clean often. Then we mop probably every day or every other day…..(why do we have this many dogs again?) THEN we keep a corded shark in the basement where we keep their kennels. The shark is 5 years old and it sucks up everything but it’s heavy, so it stays in the basement) we also use this one to vacuum their kennels. We found that doing some work on our yard and cleaning the dogs as they come in, helped a ton. We still haven’t found a great solution yet. I rambled a lot. If you have any questions or suggestions for us. Let me know.
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.
