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

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 also own a Dyson V8 that Ive had for several years but wanted a 2nd handheld and didnt want to pay the Dyson price so I began looking into knockoffs. This one was particularly well reviewed on 3rd party sites so I thought I would try it out. So far I have been impressed. It has gotten dust and dirt out of our rugs that I have already run the Dyson over. It also has an impressively long battery life. The filter cleaning attachment and spare filter that is included are a welcome addition as well. The main con I have noticed is emptying the unit is more difficult. To fully empty the vacuum you need to remove the filter as well, so it can be a two step process. The large floor attachment is perfectly functional, but not as smooth or as tight turning as the equivalent Dyson part. It does have LED lighting which made it easier to see pet hair on my wood floors. My Dyson does not have lighting on the floor attachment so this was an upgrade for me. Also switching out attachments on this unit takes more effort than it does with the Dyson. I had purchased this as a back up or secondary unit, but after a few weeks using it Im considering making it the primary unit and moving the Dyson to back up.

Weve been using this for about a month now. The battery life is great so far. It works fantastic for general dust, lint, and hair. It cant handle larger items that our old vacuum could though. It wont pick up larger pieces of sand or small gravel that get tracked in and suck them all the way up in to the dirt chamber. Theyll fall back out of the head when you shut it off. Ive had to sweep up stuff that falls out of the head a number of times. I love how handy it is to just be able to grab it and go and not worry about a cord. Overall Id say it is a good but not great vacuum.

Use for quick cleaning when I dont want to drag out corded vac.Like the adjustable suction for lighter fabrics and rugs. Bought this to use on stairs .Is ok for that but not as well as I had hopedbut the carpet is that old 70s sculpted nylon carpet thats pretty worn .Is easier than using corded upright.. Wish it had a extendable wand to help us shortys reach high spots.would be handy to have another holder on rack to store the filter cleaning tool

We have had this vacuumed for over two years. Wanted something for a quick vacuum. These will not replace the cleaning power of a corded vacuum under the best conditions. For the first 6 months it got used a lot. Washing the main filter does not clean it well enough to return the suction power so we would turn it on hi which would reduce battery life. Frustrated it wound up hanging on the wall for close to a year. Replacement filters get expensive and they will need to be replaced often. Even blowing out with air hose will not clean them. I cut one open and the layers are so tight I understood why. The vacuum build is great and it has held up. I wound up cutting off the cloth of two of the filters and replacing them with foam that I can take off and wash. It is now getting used once again.

I have a Dyson handheld vacuum that runs out of battery power before I complete my downstairs. I love my Dyson it is very powerful, I use it daily. There are some special additions that Tineco has that I enjoy. Pros: -Headlight, I can see all the dust and dog hair that I need to vacuum. -Lays a little flatter than the Dyson. I can get under my entire sofa, bed and bookshelf. -2 batteries, I can vacuum my entire house without running out of charge. -Able to clean all the filters easily. They twist and pull right out so that you can really dump everything out. You can do this every time you vacuum if you like. -Quiet -Perfect for wood and tile. It also does a decent job on small rugs. -Attachments fit nicely on the battery charger that can be mounted on the wall. -Comes with more attachments than Dyson Cons -Tineco’s quiet make me think it isn’t as powerful as the Dyson. It doesn’t suck as much out of my carpet as the Dyson does -Doesn’t fluff the carpet like Dyson I think this is the perfect vacuum for hard surfaces. You can easily pick up dog/human hair, dust, retainer rubber bands, etc. The light is one of my favorite features that really helps get my house clean. I can see any little spot I missed and know it is hair and dust free with one pass. If you have carpet I would get a Dyson instead. You may have to wait for it to charge again to complete your home, and there is no light but it will do a great job.

The vacuum is very lightweight and easy to move around the whole house, stairs are super easy and no lugging around a tank and getting tangled up in the cord. Works great with dog hair & kid “stuff”. Depending on your home you may need to empty the canister after each room but it’s kind of fun to see how much you’re cleaning up! Definitely recommend, wish we hadn’t waited so long to get it!

I am the queen of using many vacuums. I have a hard time maneuvering through my long ranch house and going from carpet to hardwood, room to room, up and down 6 cat trees and in and around 5 cat beds. If takes me an hour or more to do the whole house and I’m exhausted afterwards. I have a commercial upright vacuum that does a good job but the cord isn’t long enough and the hose attachment is so awkward to use. I have a canister vacuum that does a good job but the hose keeps coming out and it’s difficult for me TL lug around a canister. I have a handheld vacuum for quick pickups but it doesn’t hold a lot. I bought this upright cordless vacuum and I’m in love. I do the whole house on one charge. It’s lightweight and I have no cord to deal with. It has great suction on the high setting. My only issue with it is I have to clean it after every use. The attachments work great but sometimes I like to use without an attachment to get along the walls. I have a cat who chews on cardboard boxes and sometime the pieces of cardboard don’t fit up the attachment. Well this vacuum doesn’t suck very well without an attachment which is odd. I can’t figure out why. I think because it has a notch for an attachment at the end of the tube that I can’t get close to the wall. I’m able to use the thin attachment most of the time for the walls but occasionally I have to pick up a piece here and there. Overall I think this vacuum is great.

This was bought primarily for daily dog hair on hardwood and area rug. We have a Siberian Husky with white, very fine hair that sheds constantly. The vacuum did a great job removing the hair from the hardwood and the low pile rug, as well as with other floor debris. We used it set on low and medium speed to save battery. High speed really sucked the brush head down on the rug and we did not see the need for this speed to get any better pickup ability. This vacuum also replaces using daily Swiffer pads The motor head is a little heavy but using the speed lock improves comfort. Noise on low and medium is quite acceptable. The dust bin fills up quite quickly with dog hair but this did not inhibit dirt pickup - probably due to the hair allowing air to flow past (extra filter). The main floor is about 1200 sq ft and we were able to complete both hardwood and rug on one charge and one dust bin. The plastic dust bin has electrostatic cling so dust adheres to it and I found using my compressor to blow out the bin quite effective - of course not everyone will have this option - the manual says use cold water then allow to dry after each use. We have central vac but see using this easy access vacuum will reduce the need for the central vac to be used as often. We like the detachable wand to be able to do stairs with just the head unit. Lots of attachments for most jobs, but not all the accessories delivered store on the wall mount. The small upholstery brush head and pre-filter cleaner will have to be stored somewhere else. The vacuum uses consumables - where the money is. Pre-filter is suggested to be replaced every 3 months and HEPA filter every year. Extra battery is quite expensive and I could not find any aftermarket clones. Overall four star rating is just because this is new with no long term use experience. Update 12/21: I have just finished installing the wall hanger. What is really a stupid design is that there is no way to hang both power brushes together. If you hang one from the rear mount then it prevents the power head from charging. If you hang one from the power head then the connector pushes out and the charge pins dont contact the charger. It would be perfect if you could hang the power head, tube, and power brush together and still have the battery charge. Ill leave the rating at 4 stars. Update 6/2022: I still like this vacuum. Still able to do 1200 square feet hardwood with two large area rugs on one charge. Middle speed for hardwood, low speed for rugs. You still need to move somewhat speedily to avoid running out of power. Washing the brush rollers and pre-filter is easy. Update 11/05/22: The clip on the motor head that hooks into the dust bin to secure it broke. We use this vacuum every day and it appears the design is weak. The clip should be solid but it is molded into three wings - which makes it a weak link. I found that pulling the head back as you unclip it reduces the bending force on the clip. I will fill that clip with crazy glue on the new unit to reinforce it. Good news is Tineco is replacing the main head unit under warranty. Good service from them with no hassle. Update 4/8/2023: Ive been using the vacuum every day for about a year for dog hair. Another weakness has shown up. A crack developed in the dustbin hook that clips into the main motor body and holds the dustbin to the motor housing. The crack allowed movement in the connection and the dustbin would fall off during vacuuming. These plastic parts are too brittle and do not stand up to repeated stress. Tineco again has stepped up and honored the 2 year warranty and is shipping a new dustbin. The 2 year warranty is necessary to catch these poor design features. Im hoping Tineco will beef of these weak areas.

This was my first cordless stick vacuum and I did my research. I was changing from a new Dyson Ball to a stick because I have a lot of stairs and the Dyson was like a heavy ball and chain with a short cord. When the Hero box came, it was a nice presentation. The roller is a standard size, which is nice and it also has a small roller for furniture, etc. It is lighter than I thought it would be which makes taking it up and down stairs a delight and for getting in all the nooks and crannies. It goes under furniture better than the Dyson. I did a comparison to the Dyson which has reputed superior suction and the Hero was only very slightly less powerful. However, this stick seems to collect more dust and smaller particles than the Dyson. So, the Hero is light, priced better than many others, very easy to use, no cord, deceivingly quiet and works extremely well on the carpets, tile floors and furniture in my house. The battery life has not been an issue and I have not run out of juice yet. I have a dog so fur is my greatest nemesis, but this Hero sucks it all up. I even used it to clean my car floors with the wand attachment. And it hangs easily on its charger. I am very very happy I got this vacuum and will be getting another for my other place. Id say its fantastic for the price, but even if it were more expensive Id say the same thing.
