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

I bought this thinking I could use it for my whole house and I can NOT. Its great for quick pickups around the house and for smaller projects like the car or the couch, or if the dog sheds in the kitchen. However, it is terrible on carpet and rugs. Im keeping it as a quick backup vacuum, the suction is impressive. On high power it dies after 12 minutes, but does run up to 30-40 on low power, which is really all you need for a quick sweep around the house on the hardwood/tile floors.

This vacuum was fine, had it for a year and it worked okay but not nearly as well as our old corded vacuum - maybe thats not a fair comparison? We have a few larger higher pile area rugs and it just never seemed like it got them that clean and also tended to push things around on the hardwood but for the price and for a wand vacuum seemed like a fair compromise. After having it a year it suddenly lost suction so now we need a new vacuum - warranty claim process looks cumbersome, would like a replacement.

Very impressed with this little guy. Enough battery to do my entire home (mostly hardwood) on level-2 power, with enough left to do 3 carpeted rooms on level-3 power. It gets a lot of pet hair out of carpet, far more than I expected it to - Ive tried several other ($100-range) battery vacs, and all of them have been weak garbage. Dyson rides on their name-brand, but I have zero qualms about purchasing this instead. Battery life has exceeded my expectations - I considered buying the 2-battery-pack version, but Im glad I didnt, as Ive never managed to go through an entire battery before finishing the house. I wouldnt necessarily use it as my only/primary vacuum - I keep a better brand plug-in model for heavier-duty cleaning. But for a quick run-through daily cleanup, this does a very respectable job on every surface. It even has decent suction on the extreme front and sides of the head, so getting up close to a wall doesnt leave a thin line of dust there; itll grab everything. The only surfaces it has trouble on are thick-pile/outdoor type carpet (like doormats with raised ridges), as it doesnt have *quite* enough suction to pull things out of the indents in those - it does rely somewhat on the roller/beater bar to grab things, and if the dirt is below the roller, its somewhat less effective. Again though, its still leagues beyond any $100-range portable vac, and Id absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a Dyson but doesnt want to spend Dyson prices.

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.

This thing is absolutely epic. Super strong for carpets.

I have had my vacuum now several months. I was at first intimidated by all the filters, the cleaning of the filters, but now that I know how to do the cleaning I am able to do it easily. I am impressed by the suction. I use my vacuum for area rugs only. It is very strong and really cleans the rugs well! The drawbacks: The battery does not last long enough to vacuum all my rugs at the same time, and the dust bin needs to be emptied very frequently during the vacuum as it fills up too fast. For the price, I think it is worth it. Also, kudos to Tineco customer service. I called them today for a problem of my own making and they were very attentive and really made an effort to help me.

I like this stick vac--does the job for me. However, just a warning about trying to register your product to get special warranty features and a free gift. You must submit a simple online form that includes the products serial number. Couldnt find it, so I used the how to find your serial number link and it said its on the back of the handle. After searching, I still couldnt find it...so I decided to give up (I often dont register products like this) and just read the instruction booklet for general use information. When I got to a section about removing the dustbin from the handle (it is firmly attached to the handle when delivered), I decided to remove the dustbin just to see how it works--and there was the serial number is on a label behind the dustbin. No way to see this when you look at the item, and no mention online of removing the dustbin to find the label. So Ive wasted 20 minutes so far. After getting the number, I went back to the Product Registration site and entered the info and all was well. A link to click here to get your free gift (something that was touted on a hang tag on the handle of the cleaner) came up and I clicked it. The first thing I saw was that the free gift was simply free shipping on a $20 replacement filter. The second thing I saw was that the filters are sold out! This wont keep me from using my Tineco stick vac and Im sure it will work well. However, it does make me wonder if this company actually has its act together.

A great addition to the household for those tasks not requiring a bulky, cumbersome, heavy, plug-in full-size vacuum cleaner. Chose this brand after much research, which confirmed good performance and great value. Purchased this specific model due to our desire for a motorized attachment specifically designed for bare floors and found it to be very good at its intended purpose. Overall, well designed, and effective dust and debris pick-up as well as reasonably leak-free construction. Decent battery longevity, but will likely buy a spare battery to allow hot swap. The provided wall-mounted stand has a built-in automatic charger for the unit as well as a second charger for the spare battery...a thoughtful bonus.

Takes awhile to learn how to use. Good suction.

I’ve had my vacuum for a little over a week now and I am in love with the suction power and all the attachments that make cleaning so much easier now and I’m able to clean better with the attachments as well. The battery dies so fast. Took my vacuum off the charger and started to vacuum my stairs. About half way up I notice I’ve already lost one of three battery lights but no big deal I can finish. I get to the top and it’s blinking red. 12 steps plus the top landing, not too much if you ask me. Not the first time the battery has not lasted more than 20 mins and I had it on the lowest power setting. The vacuum does seem to get more suction power every now and then even without me changing it and I check the lights as well and they remain the same but some how different suction power. Will be calling support to see what is going on here. Other than the low battery after a few moments of cleaning I love the vacuum still.
