I like the suggestions from r/SumGai7. I haven’t used the Bissell Spinwave, but I have a Tineco Pure Obe S12 Pro EXand is has been a huge disappointment. While I appreciate the design features and it does fairly well on tile and area rugs, 2 years and one month after purchase the motor failed. Tineco no longer supports the model (1 month outside of warranty) and they discontinued the motor. I’m working with an eBay source to get a replacement motor. Also I had to use Chat GPT to help me reach the motor and troubleshoot to get the exact part number info as Tineco documentation is sparse. AVOID Tineco!! I’m shopping for a replacement now and tried out the Miele cordless, it was very nice. It had a floor polisher roller option that if I had wood floors I would seriously consider.
Regardless of how long they last, the problem with tineco is that they discontinue their filters, so in 5 years you’re stuck with a working vacuum and no options for replacing the filters. I’m currently washing my S10 pre filters by hand to try and get the most life possible out of them. HEPA filter replacements are non existent. Would not buy another tineco.
Sorry I made a mistake, we have a Pure One S12. Regardless, yes, I know there are filters available on Amazon but they are all non-name products (can I actually trust that it’s a HEPA grade filter?). Tineco itself doesn’t make them anymore which shows they don’t support their products long term. Quick edit: I’m still not seeing a HEPA filter compatible with the S12 available in Canada. They say they are but the filters don’t actually fit. I went down the rabbit hole on this last year and came to the same conclusion but I’m not willing to start buying filters again only to find they aren’t compatible.
In 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.
I 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.
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.
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!
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.
