> 3 dayInitial concern was for handling it with a hand that has some issues. Moving on, it works great and I have adapted. Do wish it would stand on its own. Getting the dust bin off was a chore and directions not helpful. Came with a card that said one would get a special gift for registering. Have not seen anything yet.

09-01-2025I bought this vacuum in the hopes that going cord-free would make vacuuming less of a chore. Tineco has surpassed my expectations! I used to dread vacuuming on the weekend, but with the S15, vacuuming is so easy (and almost fun) that I vacuum high traffic areas daily. I had not heard of Tineco, but I bought it based on NYTs Wirecutter, whose recommendations have never steered me wrong. Wirecutter recommended the cheaper S11, but I went with S15 because I hate dealing with tangled hair. The S15 handles my hair perfectly. When I was researching Tineco, I thought the smart feature sounded gimmicky. However, its actually very helpful having the pink/red light come on when the floor is particularly dirty, and I like that the suction increases automatically if necessary. I now realize that with my old vacuum, I was leaving a lot of dirt behind. I also like how easy it is to dump the dirt out! Theres a trap door where it falls out, and a lever that pushes it down if some help is needed. With my old vacuum, I had to reach in every time to get out clumps of dirt, and it was so gross to touch and breathe in that stuff. There are 2 negatives, but I think theyre standard with on stick vacuums: It feels a bit heavier in my hand than I would like. And the battery doesnt last long enough to do my entire house; only maybe 1,000 square feet. Neither of these things bother me that much. I dont mind taking a break during the vacuuming.

Greater than one weekI’ve been using this vacuum cleaner for 4 months now and it is one of the best vacuums I’ve ever bought!! It works great on hard surfaces and carpet.

Greater than one weekTL;DR: Bought on sale cyber monday, shouldve bought a spare battery then. Go ahead and get a spare battery for the deeper cleaning days! I can normally cover ~2800sq/ft (hard to guess tbh, not sure how big the downstairs is, but it does account for most of the house, and is mostly tile/hardwood) in 25ish minutes and be fine, but if Ive been lazy and the cats have been shedding, one battery wont quite make it (but itll be close). I really like this vacuum! Other things of note: If you run it wide open (max suction) the battery will last maybe 10 minutes. You do not need to do this however unless the situation calls for it. let it decide. You need to clean the dust filter often (This goes for many vacuums, not just this one), I normally do it after every full-downstairs vacuum because it comes with a spare, and itll normally be dry by the time I want to use it again. Takes about 1 minute total to clean, so theres no reason not to do this. Thats it. Its a great vacuum for what I wanted it for, light to medium duty frequent use so I dont have to bust out the plug-in dyson and drag that thing all over the place. For carpet heavy environments, you want something plug-in period, this is not a great main unit for a carpet heavy environment. For all hard floors it would be great. We have 3 cats and two small children, so theres always something that needs vacuuming and I wanted a reasonably powerful cordless vac to hit the proverbial high spots, and this more than meets those relatively low requirements. As stated above, I can usually cover the whole downstairs on a single charge, occasionally if theres excessive crud (because someone hasnt been running it regularly) I have to grab the second battery, or if were doing a more deep cleaning around the furniture and pulling stuff out from the wall, it comes in handy (think multiple canister dumpings and what not). Its very easy to break down and clean.. I probably shouldve read the instructions but nah. I have not clogged the dust filter to a point where the vacuum constantly runs in high vacuum mode (this is a complaint I read about from other users), and I keep it clean to avoid that situation. This is something one should do with their corded vacuums as well, as it greatly cuts down on the available power if neglected (and causes a higher instance of dust circulation rather than capture). The included tools are mostly helpful for the situations that require them, not much else to say there. I dont see the point of the dust filter cleaner attachment since youd just be clogging up the other filter, instead I wash them by hand in the sink by running water down the middle (backwards), and let em dry til the next use. easy peasy.

> 3 dayWe’ve resorted to using an old bag vacuum instead of the Tineco one since the Tineco is so prone to clogging with hair and dust (2 long hair dogs, 3 cats). Since our house is mostly carpet, all of these hairs, dust, and crumbs get deep into the low-pile carpet and the Tineco struggles to get them out — mainly because it immediately gets clogged with pet and wife hair. The cleaning process is not as easy as you would hope either. There are lots of sharp edges inside the dust chamber that can be pretty uncomfortable when trying to get clogs out of the nozzle of the gun. I’ve also gotten a few clogs inside the extension tube and the carpet vacuum head itself. All of these require me to stop what I’m doing, take the vacuum apart including the head of the vacuum, remove all the dust and debris manually, and put it all back together again. I’m used to cleaning vacuums every once and awhile, but I’ve never had one that got clogged this much. The “auto-vacuum power” seems to also get confused. Sometimes it will detect the smallest thing and ramp up to full speed, sometimes I’ll vacuum up what seems like a whole bag of bread crumbs and it’ll stay at the lowest suction the entire time. Overall, I’d say this vacuum is probably *decent* if you have hard wood or low-pile carpet with pets that don’t shed… After this review I’m docking another star from the product. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend this to any of my friends and encourage them to buy something stronger instead. ——Original 4 Star Review—— When it first arrived, this vacuum would suck up anything on the first pass. After a few months of use, (cleaning up after four pets) I’ve found that, even when fully cleaned, the vacuum is struggling to pick up things in the carpet or suck up things all the way into the canister. Overall, the charging dock and attachments are amazing. It’s super easy to hang up and charge. All the attachments are easy to replace and get the hard to reach spots with ease (stairs, trim, corners).

> 3 dayLove this vac. I can feel when the suction changes-when increasing. Love that you see the level of dirt. I have long blonde hair and a dog-theres no wrapping the beater bar. Any other vac the beater bar has my hair all wrapped up, not this.

Greater than one weekI was so impressed with certain qualities of this vacuum - but ultimately, it failed to satisfy our use case. For context, we have about 2000 sq ft of wall to wall carpet throughout the house and another 1500 sq ft or so of hardwood with a couple of medium sized area rugs. PROS: - suction power is impressive, to the point where if youre near the edge of an area rug, itll actually try to pick the rug up. Tt can also feel tricky at first to push the vacuum through carpet, because the suction is so powerful - however, once I got used to the geometry and how low to hold the handle, this wasnt a problem, as such. - the way the large brush roll easily separates from the whole brush roll housing is genius. I have a wife and three girls all with longish hair, so the ability to take this piece out and just slide the hair off the end of the brush roll is such an improvement over other vacuums weve had where you essentially have to cut the hair down the length off the brush roll in order to get it off. - having an actual docking station is a nice feature - if you have the floor space for it near an outlet CONS: - the battery is the major issue here. Though advertised as up to 40 minutes runtime, I suspect this figure is taken by running the vacuum in handheld mode (no lower attachment), with minimal obstruction. (disclosure - the subsequent research Ive done leads me to believe this is actually of an industry standard for this measurement). In actual use, with the brush roll assembly, I was able to get between 13 and 17 minutes runtime. - the automatic dust detection/suctions power adjustment feature is a neat idea, but I think its also the main contributor to the battery life issue. I found that on carpets and area rugs alike, the vacuum would run on near max suction exclusively. I even ran some testing where I vacuumed a small section of our carpeted bedroom for several minutes - I would have thought that eventually it would adjust from high suction to lower (once the area was vacuumed), but it never actually did. So what initially seemed like smart efficiency tool, ended up being my main gripe with the vacuum. CONSLUSION: Our primary concern was that the short battery life made vacuuming the entire house a multi-day process, where we could do two or three rooms, then recharge the battery for four hours, do a couple more rooms, recharge, etc. Id imagine that if you had a small/midsized apartment with most/all hardwood floors, this could be a real winner for you.

> 3 dayHi - I dont typically leave product reviews but Ive been so impressed with this vacuum! I have a 1200 square foot apartment with vintage and delicate hardwood floors. Id been looking for a vacuum for a while that I can use on the hardwood without harming it. The hardwood floor attachment on this vacuum is perfect. Also, I cant say enough about how handy it is to have a lightweight cordless vacuum. No cord or plug-ins to worry about. You just pick this up and go - almost as light and easy as a broom. And, unlike a broom, this vacuum gets ALL the dust. Previously I was sweeping my whole apartment weekly and mopping it once a month - and I still constantly had dust and dirt on the floors. With this vacuum I can clean all the floors and rugs in about 30 minutes once or twice a week, and I plan on mopping only about once every 6 months (except the kitchen and bathroom - which I still mop weekly). If you live in cold climates and need to clean the snow salt off your entry way rugs every day - this vacuum also does the trick. Again, its just as quick and light as a broom. You can grab it and clean your entryway rugs in just a couple of minutes. The battery charge really does last 40 minutes. The different attachments all come on and off easily, and the vacuum easily converts into a hand-held vacuum thats great for couches, benches, chairs, etc. The only downside for this particular model is that the handheld function isnt particularly great for vacuuming up dust on solid furniture (such as dressers or shelves), but thats best done with a damp rag anyways. I was nervous about making such a large purchase and worried that it wouldnt actually work very well, but this turned out to be a good purchase.

> 3 dayI can gladly say that I am much more likely to vacuum since I purchased this stick vacuum. The freedom of not having to schlepp around a heavy vacuum and plugging it in is phenomenal! It even has enough power to get all my hardwood floors vacuumed on full power before washing them. It is a fairly lightweight device and handles great. Having two separate heads for hardwood and carpet is almost required and you should make sure to use the right one for the job. The charging station mounts neatly to the wall but I wish there was a mount for the second head. Emptying the bin and cleaning it is straight forward. What I do not like too much is the suction power. It is great at picking up hair and dust but even small debris often gets pushed aside rather than picked up unless you hit it at exactly the right angle. But thats about it! I feel my house is a lot cleaner since I started using this vacuum, simply because it is so much more convenient than a corded counterpart.
