Tineco A11 Hero Cordless Lightweight Stick Vacuum Cleaner, 450W Motor for Ultra Powerful Suction Handheld Vac for Carpet, Hard Floor & Pet

After tons of research, reviews, videos, etc; I finally pulled the trigger and bought this. First impressions, really well built and much quieter than expected. The suction is incredible compared to my older canister vacuum, but then again its 20 years old, heavy and awkward. Im kinda a neatness freak so the only thing that bothered me was the cord for the power was kinked and stiff and looked out of place with the streamlined look of the rest of the system. My local big box store sells 6’ pieces of cord management tubing to hide cords in - perfect solution. My vacuum is in a high traffic area in the house so how it looks is important to me. I used it once so far and went over the same area I just vacuumed with my old one and was pretty surprised with how much more dirt it picked up. Might just retire my old one for good. My wife who is not as mechanical as I am found it quite easy to use and maintain so the designers hit the nail on the head with this one. Like others have said, the lights on the main power brush are a game changer and really help to see what youre doing. If this holds up over time Ill know my research paid off. For now...Im totally impressed.

As an engineer I prefer German and American designs and products. This is the first time I have purchased a Chinese product that I would highly recommend. After researching a vacuum that would meet my needs, I came across the Tineco brand which has earned recommendations from Consumer Reports and Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for one of the best in class products. I have used this product for over a month now and can see that it lives up to its reputation. This is not some cheap Dyson knock-off (Ive owned 3 so far). In fact it has a small feature with big results - led lights on the vacuum head. These leds highlight my German Shepherds loose hair on dark hard flooring easily. Something that I miss easily with my corded Dyson. The Tineco has 3 vacuum power settings with the lowest setting as default. I have only used the highest setting for larger objects (pea gravel my dog tracks in) and on my area rugs. In this setting, it rivals my corded Dyson in cleaning. The variable vacuum power settings extend the battery life and the charger provides quick charging (with visual indicators for charging status). The Tineco comes with several attachments with some of them powered. The powered attachments are surprisingly articulated and maneuver well around and under objects. This dirt collection bin pops open easily for cleaning and the filter has a good chromed surface that sheds dirt with no problem. Filter pops out with a quick twist of the wrist to assist with dirt disposal- especially useful for the aforementioned long dog hair. As it is extremely light weight, I can use it on stairs easily or for cleaning cobwebs from my vaulted ceiling using one hand. I find myself only using the Dyson once a week when cleaning the entire house as it has a larger dirt collection bin. I would highly recommend this product.

I got this to replace a Dustbuster for the kitchen. I didnt want to spend Shark money but wanted the features. I was a little concerned at first, mixed reviews and all. So far, I have been really happy with this vacuum. Easy to use. I wish there was a flatter attachment, like a Dustbuster sucker for it, the sideways one works but I think it would be better if it was flat. **UPDATE** So the vacuum totally came with the attachment I needed. I just hadnt used it yet, just found it today. ** Its been great for the stairs. Really happy about that attachment. I even use it for light vacuuming between heavy vacuum cleaning in the living room. I dont have a good place to put it yet, for attaching it to the wall so that is annoying when it comes to recharge it. And hitting the button 2x to get to the real good suctioning is annoying because lets be honest, who is using those 2 other settings?! It does take a second to kick on when you hit the trigger, this is not that bad, but confusing the first few times. And my kids can use it, not as easily as the Dustbuster but they will learn.

This is a great little vacuum for smooth floors, and it also works quite well for low-pile carpets and area rugs, though you may have to step on the corner of a mat to keep it in place. Low suction power is generally sufficient for most smooth-floor vacuuming, and at that setting, the battery lasts at least as long as advertised. It also has medium and high suction settings. I kind of wish it were designed to charge without the dust bin, so it could charge while the dust bin is drying. I prefer the option of some other models in which the charger plugs directly into the motor. That said, the fact that the unit charges automatically when hung in its bracket is very convenient. This is an unbelievable bargain, considering it is also a powerful little hand vac with a rotating brush. I am beyond pleased every time I see an ad for another brand costing more than twice as much and think, My Tineco does that! Of course I havent had it long and dont know how long it will last.
