> 3 dayThis was my first purchase of a stick vacuum. The Tineco Hero A10 is wonderful. I find myself using it almost every day. It is great at picking up the cat and dog hair from our hardwood floors, short nap rugs, and on upholstery. You can see from the photo how much hair it is picking up every time I use it ! I had no idea there was so much debris that we were walking on daily. Its pretty amazing to see. The unit is very easy to clean out and the filters are easy to clean too. The LED lights on the front really showcase the fine dust/hair particles on the floor. Its lightweight and maneuverable. You can move from the floor to your sofa, to draperies very quickly. It could use a bit more power, but Im sure everything could use more power. The Hero 10 is quieter than I had expected. Many video reviews seemed louder, but it is much quieter than my regular vacuum. This is my best purchase of the year.

Greater than one weekI wanted to try a stick vacuum to see if the floors would get cleaned more often if we did not have to lug out the heavy, plug-in vacuum. I did the research, interviewed family members to see what features would encourage them to vacuum more, tried out my friends Shark IonFlex, and settled on getting the Tineco A10 Hero. If it were just me, I probably would have gotten a corded stick as you can get a more powerful vacuum for less money without the concern that the battery runs out too soon, and when the battery eventually dies out completely it will either be an expensive replacement or perhaps not available at all. But other family members seemed to think that if there was no cord they might vacuum more often, so to me that was worth taking a chance on battery-power and spending the extra money. The miracle where other family members vacuum more often did not happen (I think each of them tried it once, and that was it), but I am still super impressed with this machine. First thing I noticed, it is very light: it is 2.9 lbs vs the other models I was considering that were 7 to 14 lbs. It also has a 350 watt motor - others in this price range were 180w-300w. I would have liked a self-cleaning brush roll, but my friends Shark IonFlex has this and she says she still gets hair wrapped around the brush roll anyway. The other thing I would have liked would have been a larger dust compartment, but in this price range all of the dust compartments are about this size if not smaller. The Tineco A10 Spartan is the same machine which is cheaper and has the same features as the A10 Hero but fewer attachments. What sold me on the Hero was the Pre Filter Cleaning Tool and extra Pre Filter (which may only come with the wall-mount version) - this is what makes all the difference! When the vacuum is feeling sluggish and not picking up as much stuff as it used to (and this could happen within 10 minutes, before the battery charge even gives out), first empty the dust bin. If it is still a little sluggish, then I remove the pre filter (which is inside the dust bin and easy to remove), swap it out with the spare and clean the pre filter I just took out so it is ready to go for next time. After doing this, the machine is as good as new. The easy maintenance routine is what I like the best. I probably end up changing and cleaning the pre filter about every 3 times I use the vacuum, and while Im at it I use a nickel to open the roll brush compartment and clean all the hairs wrapped around it (there is a hook tool included to do this also). Not something that I had to do as often with the corded, full size vacuum, but it is so easy to do with the Hero that it is still more convenient than dragging out the old behemoth. I have not yet run out of battery when I am vacuuming because it is so easy to take out for quick jobs that I do one room at a time and am done before the battery runs out. I have wood floors with oriental or low pile carpets - regular power does a great job on these so I do not really use the Max Power setting. I received no compensation for this review - I am just a really happy customer. --- Update: 2.5 months later and I havent used the old, plug-in vacuum at all --- Update: 2 years later - Still very happy with this vacuum! After using for 2 years, I still agree with my original review: love the easy self cleaning (still using the original 2 Pre Filters and it runs like new after they are cleaned with the included tool), but wish it had a larger dust bin because it will fill up quickly and usually needs to be emptied before I am done with a room (I have a cat and 3 people with long hair in the house). The suction is not as good as a plug in, so I have used the Max setting when more suction power is needed. The battery still outlasts my usual 15-20 minute vacuuming sessions (on regular power). Only once I went on an extended cleaning streak and depleted the battery - do not remember how long that took, but it was enough to clean up 3 rooms pretty well. Bottom line: still performing great after 2 years of use, makes cleaning easy, but if you need high powered suction then you probably will want a corded vacuum of some kind.

> 3 day10/10 Love this vaccuum! We had a Dyson before this for 10 years that needed parts replaced, so decided to try out Tineco. Love that it’s battery charged. It has enough power to vacuum our 3 bed/2 bath home with both carpet and wood floors. I have also used the attachments to spot clean, vacuum the couch and also the car. It is light weight and quieter than our Dyson was. I was actually on the phone yesterday with my husband and we were able to have an entire conversation while he was vacuuming. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayI love this vacuum so much that I had to write a review. It is lightweight and has a small lock feature to keep it on as you vacuum so you don’t have to constantly pull the little trigger. It also has a light at the bottom that shows me dirt where I didn’t know dirt was hiding. These are small features that have a big impact for me. Oh, I almost forgot. The small dirt canister empties out completely - The inside piece comes right out, making it easy to clean. It is then very easy to reassemble. The same goes for the roller, it is very easy to disassemble and clean, and then put back together. I am so pleased with his product, it took me a long time to purchase a new vacuum because my older, very expensive one, still works, but it is such a pain to empty and clean out, unlike this beauty. I hope this helps someone with their decision making because I know there are many options out there and it took me a while to pick this specific vacuum. Enjoy your clean home!

> 3 dayI absolutely love this vacuum. I used to have the Animal Dyson and although it was great on thick rugs it sucked up my thinner rugs. This vacuum works great on hard wood floors and thinner rugs. Easy to clean. I hear it sucking up dirt on the thicker rugs too so I think it works perfectly for my needs. I vacuum almost every day as I have kids and cats and the occasional litter to vacuum up. I love that it is small, easy to use, no cord and works great.

> 3 dayI have had two Dyson stick vacuums and loved them. But when my second one died, I wasn’t willing to spend $600+ for a new one. So I looked at different stick vacuums on Amazon and came across this one. I had never heard of this brand before and was very skeptical. I saw a link of an independent review and learned Tineco has been making vacuums for over 20 years. The reviewer showed the suction power of this vacuum about the same as a Dyson. Amazon reviews were very favorable. Now I see why. And at a little over $200 I thought I would take a chance. It proved well worth it. I have used this vacuum for six months and love it MORE than the Dyson. It is quieter and has 3 different power settings. There is also a lock to keep the trigger button on and save finger stress. The Dyson didn’t have that feature. I am very happy with my purchase!! You will be too!

> 3 dayI did read that it was not good on edges and alone the base of walls. I quickly taught myself how to maneuver the vacuum to pick in these area. The suction is great and isnt to loud for pets. It was easy to put together and fast on the charging of the battery. I dont like that you have to attach and unattach the charger with a separate unit.

> 3 dayPurchased this vacuum a month ago and use it on a daily basis for light clean up in a dusty environment. Good suction for dust and small debris. Doesn’t pick up anything larger than a dime. The handle attaches and detaches easily so the accessories can be used w/o a problem. Would recommend this product for anyone who has to do quick clean up on a regular basis. Also note it is fairly quiet and manuverable.
