Tineco - Floor Washer Flashdry Cordless Mop & Vacuum Cleaner - 6 Series - Black

The Tineco FloorWasher FlashDry Cordless 6 Series has a sleek, modern design that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. It is lightweight, making it easy to maneuver around the house, especially in tight spaces and under furniture. The build quality is solid, with durable materials that suggest the device will hold up well over time. The ergonomic handle and well-balanced body make it comfortable to use for extended periods. One of the standout features of the FloorWasher FlashDry is its powerful suction and efficient water-drying system. It effectively washes and dries floors in one pass, leaving them clean and streak-free. The dual-tank system keeps clean and dirty water separate, ensuring that you’re always washing your floors with fresh water. Just set the device to auto and the built in sensor will automatically detect the amount of dirt on the floor and will optimize the suction and water flow to maximize work efficiency and battery life. There is a manual setting for max suction if you want maximum cleaning power and not rely on the auto setting. The motorized brushroll does an excellent job of scrubbing away dirt and stains, even on tougher surfaces like tile and laminate. The Self-Propel Assist feature makes it easy to move the device as you just have to hold it and it propels itself forward. The FlashDry technology dries floors quickly, which is particularly useful in high-traffic areas where you need the floor to be dry almost immediately. The cordless design of the Tineco FloorWasher FlashDry adds a level of convenience, freeing you from the hassle of tangled cords and limited reach. The battery life is impressive, offering up to 35 minutes of cleaning time on a single charge, which is sufficient for most homes. The charging time is reasonable, and the device comes with a charging dock that also serves as a storage station. Operating the Tineco FloorWasher FlashDry is straightforward, thanks to its intuitive controls. The LED display provides clear information about battery life, water levels, and cleaning modes. Switching between different cleaning modes is easy, allowing you to customize your cleaning experience based on the type of floor and the level of dirt. The ios app also shows all of this information in an easy to read manner. The self-cleaning feature is another highlight, making maintenance a breeze. After each use, the FloorWasher can automatically clean its brushroll and tubes, saving you time and effort. Just place the FloorWasher in its base and press the self-cleaning button on the device or on the app and it will clean and dry itself in about 5 minutes. The FloorWasher is suitable for a variety of floor types, including hardwood, tile, laminate, and vinyl. It’s also effective on both wet and dry messes, making it a versatile tool for everyday cleaning tasks. While the FloorWasher is not completely silent, it operates at a lower noise level compared to traditional vacuums. This makes it a good choice for homes where noise is a concern, such as when cleaning while others are sleeping or working. One minor drawback is the size of the water tanks. While they are adequate for most cleaning jobs, larger homes may require more frequent refills. Additionally, the FlashDry technology, while effective, may leave very wet surfaces slightly damp, requiring a final pass for complete drying. Another drawback is that you will have to empty the dirty water container after every cleaning job and clean it out. While not a big deal, some people might find this tedious. I guess you could let the dirty water sit there in the container if its not full, but then you could get an odor from it. The Tineco FloorWasher FlashDry Cordless 6 Series is a highly efficient and user-friendly floor washer that delivers excellent cleaning performance across various floor types. Its powerful suction, quick-drying technology, and cordless convenience make it a great addition to any home. While it has a few minor limitations, such as the water tank size and final drying pass, its overall performance and ease of use more than make up for these. If you’re looking for a reliable and versatile cordless floor washer, the Tineco FloorWasher FlashDry is definitely worth considering.

I’ve been using Tineco products for almost a decade and this is a popular brand when choosing for mopping solutions. The FlashDry 6 combines vacuuming and mopping into one great device and I’ve been cleaning the house using the product. My house has hardwood floors and tiles, which makes vacuuming not entirely effective. The FlashDry 6 is an all-in-one cordless solution; it gives you pretty much everything you need to start mopping and vacuuming: extra brush roller, a bottle of deodorizing and cleaning solution, dry filter, cleaning tool and of course the drying and charging dock. The cleaning solution is mixed with water and it’s great that Tineco provides a bottle, which should last for more than several months. The cleaning mix is contained in the clean water tank. Unlike a regular vacuum cleaner, the FlashDry 6 not only sucks dust and dirt but also mop the floor with the wet brush roller and interestingly, excess water is being picked up by the machine and contained in the dirty water tank. I’m happy with the results as the brush roller is effective enough in removing persistent dirt on the kitchen tile. Of course, there are some hardened dirt that only scrubbing would be able to remove them. The roller is wide enough and it cleans from edge-to-edge, which makes every cleaning job easier and more effective. Using the device is quite easy, there’s an automatic mode, which would make the machine to operate in accordance to its optimum setting. Mopping the floor with the device is super easy and quite effortless as the Self-Propel Assist feature works well. The device is also lightweight so you can maneuver it quite easily. The noise isn’t bad and the air filter works very effective as vacuuming leaves no smell of bad air. This device has a speaker system that is loud enough to inform us when the clean water tank is finished. It also tells us which mode we are using when cleaning; not entirely necessary as the LED screen is big and informative enough for that purpose. But it does leave a good impression that this is not an ordinary cleaning device. The charging dock works flawlessly to charge and dry the device. The only thing that I don’t like is that the cleaning solution mix in the clean water tank will deplete quite fast and needs refilling every couple of jobs. My other vacuum cleaners, in comparison, need much less attending. The dirty water tank also needs regular cleaning but not as frequent as the clean water tank. Tineco rated 35 minutes of use before the dirty water tank needs to be cleaned so that translates into several cleaning jobs depending on how large your house is. It’s not a big deal because all in all, what really matters is the performance and this device performs satisfactorily. You know it’s doing the job well as you walk on the floor in barefoot. I won’t be getting back to regular vacuum cleaner when cleaning hardwood and tiles.

I have a 3500 sq ft farmhouse that has zero carpet, with about equal tile and hardwood flooring to clean.  Prior to picking up the Tineco FloorWasher Flashdry I was using a steam mop to clean the floors, so the cordless aspect was really what drew me to this floor washer.  In the box is a charging base, floor washer, cleaning agent, and instructions.  Setup is simple, similar to most stick vacuums, you'll need to assemble the handle (no tools required) and insert the clean and dirty water tanks.  There is a companion app, Tineco Life, that you can install for diagnostics, instruction manual, and to view the floor washer battery and charging status. In addition you can start a self clean mode from the app, see cleaning history, and change the volume of the voice that gives status and warnings from the device. To use, pull out the clean tank, fill with water, does not need to be hot, and add a cap of the cleaning agent. The washer has three modes, auto, ultra, and suction.  In auto, the washer senses the level of water needed and adjusts accordingly.  The dirt level status can be seen via the blue ring on the display changing to various hues of red, see photo. In ultra this always is higher cleaning, which I use consistently for my tile floors.  Lastly is suction, if you're putting down a lot of water and need it to dry quickly you can use the suction mode to get the floors dry faster.  When done the dirty water tank lid pops off, clean out the tank and the paper filter, and then place the floor washer on the charging / storage stand until next use.  The way this floor washer works is similar to a carpet cleaner, one tank has clean water, which comes out, is spread by a mop roller and sucked back into a dirty water tank. The clean tank holds about 1/4 of a gallon and can be filled up from most kitchen sinks based on the design. The washer itself weighs just under 10 lbs and is easy to maneuver one handed. The design allows for cleaning right next to the baseboards and around toilets, which is great for a floor plan that isn't open and has a lot of hallways, nooks and corners.  After a week of use, I find that I use auto mode on my hardwood floors.  The amount of moisture is less than my steam mop in deep clean mode, but the cleaning from the washer is better than the steam mop. I use the ultra mode on my tile, as this is typically where the family tracks in the most mud and stuff from outside. In both modes I'm impressed with how quickly the floors dry, I'm estimating within 3 minutes the tile is completely dry in the ultra mode, and while it may not seem like it's cleaning, I can watch the muddy shoe prints disappear in just one pass. Note that floors are almost completely dry immediately in auto mode, so I don't have concerns of damaging the hardwood.  Other things to note are that the floor washer is semi self propelled, it takes a little bit of resistance to pull it back towards you, but going forward it will propel itself with very little effort.  Because of this, I can't treat it like a vacuum and have to push very little to ensure that I don't go too fast and not get the floors clean. One tank of clean water will clean approximately 500 sq ft on ultra mode, and would cover more if only using in auto mode. For the first week, one tank of water would typically drain the battery by about 35%, so two to three tanks of water will get the first floor (~2000 sq ft) completely mopped, pending on how dirty. The battery will last for at least 2000 sq ft of cleaning prior to needing to charge. The only minor downside is that this floor washer doesn't do great with old grout.  I have 1/4" spacing grout lines which are recessed lower than the tile due to deterioration, and I find that it doesn't do a great job of getting those cleaned if heavily soiled. Otherwise, I'm really happy with this floor washer, it beats the clean up and is much easier to use than a steam mop. The things that really make it better are that it's cordless, takes less effort to clean, and I don't have to touch any of the grossness in the dirty water tank, just dump and rinse it out.

I must admit I’m a novice with this type of technology. I’m used to mopping the old-fashioned way. Which I highly dislike, as it takes a lot of setup, clean-up, and physical effort. When I stumbled upon this, I saw a possible solution to one of my woes. Seemingly a device that does it all; cordless 4-in-1 mop, vacuum, self-clean, and self-dry. Sign me up! TLDR/CONCLUSION 9/10: Great lightweight device that does an admirable job at mopping the floor and does a stellar job at cleaning up messes. You do not need to vacuum before using saving you time. Very easy to operate. Love the display as it is bright, tells you all you need to know, and the auto mode has variable suction and tells you when something is saturated. Battery is about 35 minutes; recharge time is about 5 hours. Small enough it goes in between the toilet. Dual Edge cleaning comes in clutch to get very close to walls giving you a deeper clean. Self-clean does great on the brush. Then manually cleaning the dirty water and filter is a breeze. Overall, I am a big fan of this thing. Does exactly what I wanted it to do. SETUP: 8/10. Instructions could be a bit more clear. At first, I thought this may be a daunting task. Thankfully, I was wrong. Everything goes together easily… except I’m not sure where the plastic tray goes… But outside of that everything is pretty user friendly and intuitive. It comes with some cleanser. They say to only apply that cleanser to the device. QR code on tank to buy more, which is appreciated if you heed that tip. You put a capful of it into the water reservoir and then fill the rest with water (of whatever temp you like, warmer is probably better). Meaning one bottle should last a long time. It has a vacuum already built in, so I did not vacuum beforehand or do any type of clean up as I figure that is the purpose of this device. Next you have four buttons for control. -On the front there are two buttons. One to turn on/off the device. The second is to change through the different modes. - On the back you have a wireless toggle and how loud the voice is. As this vacuum has a voice that will tell you what mode you are on if you so wish. I personally like this as it will say powered on/off, charging, cleaning mode, etc. At first this was very loud, I pressed the button once and then it was normal volume and I left it at that. I did not connect to wireless. As I didn’t see the point. - The one on the very top activates self-clean when on the charger. You will need to have some battery left for this to work. Additionally, it goes through battery quickly on this mode as it is using high suction. For example, I had about 30% of the battery, turned it on, went to 9% before I manually shut it off. But this does a great job of cleaning and drying the brush. Along with an admirable job at cleaning filter and tank to a lesser degree. Mostly, I see this as cleaning the brush only and you still need to manually rinse and remove debris from the tank and filter. Which is easy, just use your fingers (or the included brush, and some water. Last, you have a very large display on the device that will show you battery, how much suction, what mode you are on, any error messages, and my favorite, how saturated or unsaturated an area is (FlashDry). As when the device is pulled backwards it will spray water and when you move forward it will suck up and dry said water (or spill). When it detects something is dirty (or I think very wet) the ring around the display will turn red (like a speedometer) with 100% and green being fully clean/dry and red being 0% and very wet/messy. I personally love that function. Reminds me of Dyson’s variable suction power. As it will increase suction power the redder it is when on Auto Mode. You can also put it on full-bore mode if you want more manual control. HOW WELL IT CLEANS: Mopping 7/10 Keep in mind, I’m new at these vacuums so can’t say how they relate to others. But I cleaned my kitchen along with three bathrooms (all of which have not been cleaned in a long time, I’m ashamed to admit) in a single charge (about 20 – 40 minutes) and ended with 10% battery. The recharge time they report is 5 hours, seems accurate from my not accurate testing. Again, I did not vacuum beforehand or pick up any pet hair or anything like that. I just filled the tank and went for it. I felt like it was doing a great job at wetting the surface along with cleaning it. When I came to a dirty spot, I was able to run over it a few times and the vacuum would increase suction, and cleaned it quickly. Also, with you moving forward with the FlashDry tech it did a good job at mostly drying the area where it was easy to walk on that area a couple minutes after and it would be dry (and practically dry directly after). Which was neat to watch in real time. I don’t know if this is a pro or con but it filling up the dirty water tank took some time. I only had to empty that 1.5 times (All 3 bathrooms and kitchen are small). The bathrooms which were probably the most saturated I noticed the biggest difference. I loved the “dual edge cleaning” which means that you can get right up next to the wall (or whatever) and it cleans it entirely (no gaps) and this worked brilliantly. With it being on both sides made cleaning a lot easier as the spaces I was in were small, which would have made it very difficult if I only had it on one side. Also, small enough that it fits around my toilets without issues. In the end, the water was VERY dirty. My floor seemed quite clean (not the grout though), and there was a ton of hair that had built up at the top and in the filter. Which was nice as it didn’t put the hair and all that into the water. It was well separated which made it very easy to just grab that disgusting wet clump and throw it into the trash. I then put it on the self-clean (after it charged for a bit) which did a fantastic job at cleaning and drying the brush. Then I emptied the water reservoir and rinsed/cleaned the filter and dirty water tank. And left it to charge. Cleaning Spill 10/10. I also purposefully spilled some stuff. And it vacuumed and dried it very quickly and easily. Like, you spill some cereal or yogurt, or oatmeal and it will straight up clean that mess in like 10 – 20 seconds (don’t need to pick up the chunks). Granted you must fill the water tank, hit the spot, then empty/rinse the tank, go through self-cleaning afterwards. But still! Way easier and less resource intensive than cleaning it up yourself with paper towels. Honestly, probably the same amount of time. Top marks here. BATTERY 7/10: Again, 35 minutes, 5 hour recharge time. Enough for a quick job. But not a large or heavily saturated area as would need to recharge which takes a long time. Love that it has a built-in charging/cleaning dock though. But no where to store extra brush, cleaning brush, cleaning solution, or extra filter. But appreciated that is included. LIGHTWEIGHT + PULLS itself 8/10: Even with injury or being weak will be able to operate this device without much difficulty. MANUVERABILITY 7.5/10: When it is sitting straight up it is on but not rotating or spilling water, then you tip it and it starts to rotate. I enjoy that a lot. It is on a sort of ball mount allowing you to hit most corners relatively easily. But it is probably about 45 degrees. Around the same with tilt backwards. So if trying to go under a chair or something it won’t work well. But good design as that prevents spills of dirty/clean water that could damage the electronics. So, probably more of a pro than a con. BUILD QUALITY 7.5/10: Plastic, everything clicks together well, but not super tight. You can tell there are seals, but the seals aren’t super tight seals. So, I deducted some points. The screen is excellent though. Really enjoy that.

This is the first Tineco product I have used and was excited to try it out. Overall, I was very impressed with the cleaning of my tile/vinyl floors. Having a built-in vacuum cuts prep time as no need to really clean before using. Another time saver is not having to work/move around a power cord, and I found it to be very quiet in auto mode as well. It was very easy to put together, just slip handle into main body of unit. The charger is ready to go as well – just plug it in, I charged the unit overnight before using. While the unit charged, I installed the app and it’s easy to use allowing access to cleaning functions, etc. The cleaning brush was already attached. In use it cleaned the flooring extremely well leaving a very thin film of water in its wake - that quickly dried and didn’t streak, even on my darker tile floor. The transparent clean water/solution tank clips on the back side of unit and is easy to use, but I found the angle to fill a tad challenging – a filler cup might help. The dirty water tank is in the front and while transparent it is very dark making it hard to see though, but it is very easy to clean. Unit comes with extra brush, filter, cleaning tool, deodorizing/cleaning solution and transparent tray that fits in bottom of charger to prevent leaks from unit/brush. There are voice instructions given when using, charging, etc. - with volume being controlled in app. Using Auto mode, I cleaned around 500 sq feet of floor with one charge (about 35 minutes or so) and still had power left. I did have to refill the water/solution tank once but did not have to empty dirty water. There is an LED ring that lights up when using and changes color/suction strength if it encounters a “dirty” area it also indicates if using water only (red – blue) or solution (blue-red). It also indicates suction, has cleaning icon, battery level indicator. Using the mode switch conveniently located at top of handle you can select between Auto (default when starting) max or suction only. When done you just place the unit back on charger and a voice tells you its charging and to remind you to clean dirty water tank. This is where I made a huge blunder as I cleaned the dirty water tank leaving in sink to dry. I was scrolling through the app and noticed a clean option pop up. I selected it thinking it would take me to another screen/option – oh no. It started unit up (still had clean water attached with some solution left) spewing water all over the charger and floor as it tried to suction the water – with no tank. I shut it down and cleaned it up. I was surprised it allowed unit to run with one tank missing, doesn’t seem very safe – quirk #1. The cleaning brush/unit option did seem to work well though. I did intentionally “spill” some water and it sucked it up with no problem Quirk #2. When standing unit upright when using to temporarily stop cleaning (it turns itself off when upright) or to move it – the head wouldn’t lock. It appears there is a small plastic piece in the upper part of unit that fits into the head of unit to secure it. Once that part gets wet it just slips out. In trying to stand unit up while using (on) and it wouldn’t lock, the unit tried to skitter away from me. If I did perchance get it to lock the head would go flat against the floor when moving it - leaving a wet trail on the floor from the brush. I tried leaning unit back as far as I could, and it would still detach. This is the most irritating quirk. Quirk #3. Due to its design (probably to reduce the possibility of tanks leaking) the unit doesn’t lie very flat when using. This made it difficult to get under my pool table. The size of the head is somewhat small as well but that makes it easy to fit around toilets, and under obstacles, etc. Also, when using the head kind of “floats” over floor making it a tad challenging to steer sometimes. 2-year limited warranty I think the unit does a great job of cleaning and even with the quirks I look forward to using it and would recommend it giving it 4.5 stars.

After recently having Luxury Vinyl flooring installed I’ve been looking for the perfect way to keep it clean, from swiffer dusters and wet cloths to robot vacuums to an old-fashioned bucket and mop. The S6 comes well packaged, too much so in my opinion - every piece was bagged in plastic. While it kept the finish nice, it was a bit excessive. Putting the pieces together was simple and took a couple of minutes. I was impressed that an extra roller bar and dirty water tank air filter were included. According to the instructions these should be replaced after six months. After unwrapping and building everything it needed to charge for a few hours. While it's charging, download the app and get it connected. Using the S6 is simple. Fill the large clean water reservoir and add one cap of the included cleaning solution and place it back in the back of the handle. Unlike previous models, this tank is now located on the back of the handle rather than above the roller bar. Press the power button and lower the handle to start your cleaning. There are three modes: Auto, Max and suction only. Auto senses the dirt level and adjusts the suction and liquid dispensed. Max is maximum suction and cleaning fluid and of course, suction only is for dry sweeping. While you can use the suction only feature to dry sweep, know that the S6 will choke on larger debris such as cheerios due to the tight tolerance between the roller and squeegee. Movement across your floor is power-assisted (friction of the roller with the floor) and this baby really wants to move. Holding it back might be an effort for some. This always wanting to pull forward also makes it a bit difficult to stand the handle up to stop cleaning. I was impressed with how well it cleaned and more importantly, at how dry it left my floors. They were dry enough to walk over in just a few minutes. Dumping the dirty water tank was simple enough although I didn't realize at first that the whole top filter section just lifted off making dumping and cleaning that much easier. This next part is what really sets this machine apart. Simply place the S6 back on the charger base and in the app click on deep clean and watch the fun begin. The S6 cleans the roller bar and then dries it to keep mold and smells down. . I really like that now mopping my floors is no more difficult than running a vacuum. And since you are using water/cleaning solution, it really helps keep the dust down. There are two pretty big negatives in my opinion. First is the price of convenience. The S6 is clearly a luxury item and prohibitively expensive for many. You could purchase approximately 19 mop and bucket “cleaning systems” for the cost of this. And the recommended cleaning solution is about $25 per bottle. Like most floor and carpet cleaning machines, Tineco recommends only their cleaning solutions. I’m sure there are other brands that would work equally as well. Next is run time. The S6 is rated for 35 minutes of cleaning time per charge in Auto mode. While this was enough for a once over for my apartment, for a deeper cleaning like a kitchen, you might need to plan on several sessions to complete your task as it takes ~3-4 hours for the unit to come back to a full charge. While not a game changer, another negative is the S6 does not lay flat. The handle only lowers to about 45 degrees so you can only get under things about six inches. To get completely under furniture, you will have to move it out of the way. Overall, I really like the S6 Flash Dry and see it will get a lot of use in my house. Being able to vacuum and mop at the same time is a real time saver and the self cleaning means I don’t have to get my hands wet or dirty cleaning it out. I highly recommend it for those who can afford it.

This Tineco Flashdry Cordless 6 is my first floor washer product because I had always thought they were a bit of a gimmick, joke's on me! Initially I was kind of skeptical of being able to vacuum and mop in one step with a "floor washer". Normally I use my Tineco cordless stick vacuum to first suck up all the small things on the floor and then take my swifter duster thingy to run across the floors and then break out the bucket and old school mop to clean them once a week. I have tile floors in the kitchen, bathrooms, and entry way and hardwood flooring in the living room and bedrooms. The only carpet I have are in the closets which never get dirty. I first read through the entire manual from cover to baack to ensure I did everything according to the manual as I've never had a floor washer before and didn't wanna screw anything up. It's a good manual and they provide lots of details about how to use the product. The assembly was extremely quick and easy. 1. Snap vacuum together there aren't any screws or bolts 2. Charge the vacuum fully which took only an hour or so as it was 70% charged from the factory 3. Pour 1 capful of cleaning / deodorizer solution and fill clean water with warm water 4. Make sure dirty water container is installed completely (snaps tight) 5. Press the start button (Begins in auto mode but I press again for turbo mode) 6. Optionally setup WiFi and download the app to your phone (Not fond of EVERYTHING needing an app, it works fine without the app) The mop is self propelled & pulls itself along the floor so you only need to pull it back or tilt the handle to make it go right or left while it pulls itself forward. Once you get the hang of it the floor washing is pretty straightforward. I moved all the furniture out of the kitchen except the refrigerators and went to work, a single fill of the cleaning solution did my entire kitchen, entry way and part of the living room. I had to refill both the clean water and dirty water containers only three times to finish the entire house. The floor washer did indeed vacuum and wash the floor in one step. The floors came out much cleaner than with my normal routine. Overall I really like this floor washer and I will use it every week. It does a great job of cleaning the floors, I may still occasionally use a wet mops to spot clean or cleanup a spill but for cleaning the entire room this floor washer does a very good job.

While some companies are making multifunctional cleaning devices, the Tineco does one thing and one thing well - mop floors. It’s incredibly easy to use, relatively low maintenance, and works really well. The only drawback to me, is finding another spot for yet another cleaning appliance in the house that’s near an outlet (eliminating closets for me). IN THE BOX AND SETUP Inside you’ll find the mop, a handle, charging base, plastic cover that the mop sits in on the base - which can be removed for cleaning, a bottle of solution, an extra filter, an extra mop brush, and a cleaning brush (that looks like a bottle cleaning brush). There’s a manual included, as well as a quick start guide printed on the inside of the box. Putting everything together takes little time and effort. The handle snaps in (although you have to use a screwdriver to take it off) and the plastic cover fits nicely into the charger. DESIGN It feels weird talking about the design of a floor mop, but this is really smartly designed, intuitive, and looks good. Removing the bins and emptying/filling up the bins is intuitive. The design of the display on the body of the mop is bright and easy to understand. It shows your battery charge while mopping (and it does go down rather quickly, but you’ll get 30-40 minutes of use per charge). Frankly, everything is intuitive and it makes a chore feel a little bit less like one. PERFORMANCE I thought it would be annoying to have the device have verbal prompts, but I ended up really liking it. When you put it on the charger, a verbal prompt states that it’s charging. When you change modes between max, suction, and auto, a verbal prompt tells you. When you’re done using it, a prompt reminds you to clean the dirty water bin. But on to the performance. I was extremely pleased with the results. I have hardwood floors and three kids and they’re constantly dropping, spilling, stomping things in the kitchen. This mop won’t pick up anything that’s dried up and crusty (I had to scrape it up first) but it does a fantastic job of cleaning up liquid spills. You will be surprised how dirty the water gets in the dirty water bin, especially when you think your floors aren’t that dirty - at least I was. Similar to a lawn mower that self propels, this mop pulls forward. It makes it super easy to glide across your floors. It doesn’t soak the floors, in fact, it’s cleaning while sucking up the water as it goes. It will leave a small layer of water (you can see it as you mop) but it dries within minutes. Much better than an old handheld mop where you had to wait a little bit for your floors to dry. I love that it sits on the dock ready for use at a moment’s notice (assuming you have some cleaner and water in it). I find myself cleaning the floors much more frequently when I can grab it off the charger, mop really quick, and put it back. All with minimal fuss. MAINTENANCE One of the things I always look for when buying a vacuum or other cleaning appliance is the maintenance? For example, robot vacuums require more maintenance that a typical vacuum, primarily because of the small dustbin and need to frequently change/clean filters. And with anything that requires cleaning solution, how much does it use and how expensive is it? Luckily it comes with an extra filter and brush, so I anticipate that lasting a while, but what about the solution? Luckily you only need a capfull per tank of clean water, so the included bottle will last you a while, and a 33 ounce bottle will set you back $25. All in all, I think the maintenance cost is pretty minimal which is a big plus. In addition to cost, there’s also the issue of time. It’s recommended that you empty out the dirty water tank after each use. That’s to prevent odors. Luckily, in most cases it can be rinsed out and air dried. It has some crevices where I was afraid dirt might accumulate, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. There’s also the self-cleaning feature of the brush. This is automatic - and quick - but you will need to clean out the removable plastic tray that rests in the charging base. So re time spent maintaining the cleaner, it’s pretty minimal. I give Tineco high remarks in that department. MISCELLANEOUS I wanted to add that there is an app that you can download and connect to your mop. I’ll be honest, I didn’t download it, I have enough apps on my phone and I’m not convinced it’s worth the effort of connecting it. But the option is there. You can also turn off the verbal prompts if you find them annoying. The self cleaning feature is nice, essentially the mop will sit in the dock, spin the brush and clean the mop head. It didn’t take long at all. A feature I really like as it minimizes the maintenance issue I have with cleaning appliances - there’s no cleaning it by hand after each use. The only two downsides are that you have to find a place for it near an outlet. Some houses might not have any issues depending on your setup. Others, like me, basically have it sitting in a corner. At least it’s not ugly, and frankly, I don’t mind it, but I might consider moving it when having people over for a social gathering. It’s not something you’ll want to put away in a closet when not in use - and not charging - although you could, it just takes away from the convenience. The other minor gripe - and this likely applies to any such mop, and that’s needing to empty the dirty water bin after each use. I don’t mind it, it’s easy to clean, and while it’s not technically necessary, the mop prompts you to do it to prevent the build up of odors. CONCLUSION All in all, this brings back the fun in cleaning. At least as much as possible. Cleaning isn’t fun, but when you have tools that make the job easier and more efficient, it’s a boon. Not to mention, it works extremely well.

This is our second similar Tineco wet dry vacuum and the reason we were excited when ordering it was because of the excellent experience we had with the previous one. Thus, our expectation was high, especially because this one has more features. First, the manual is not bad, but there is a video that will save you a lot of time, especially for people like me who hate reading manuals. You probably can figure it out by yourself though. It shows you battery status, it talks and even tells you when you place or use it the wrong way. If your spouse likes telling you how to use a vacuum cleaner/mopper, you can tell her/him that you've been told already. I thought that I would be mostly impressed with the performance like the first one, but there is a lot more than performance to this one. Quality is top notch too despite the issue that I will describe here. But what really impressed my wife, and I would say myself too, is that it self cleans. And yes, I had seen others that did the same, but this one cleans itself better than I would. To be honest, I don't know if it will be this good in the long run, but for now, the roller ends up almost as clean as new. I actually wouldn't be able to tell if it was new or not if I didn't know. But again, this is brand new. Another thing that both my wife and I like is its lightweight. We are not young anymore even though we still have a teenage daughter, but also a few grandkids. Thus, we appreciate lightweight and convenient. It is both and it is just one single appliance doing the job of three. They call it 4-in-1, but I sort of disagree with them. Although I'm not decreasing the number of stars I am giving it as I'm too impressed overall, the main issue for me is that it is plastic almost one hundred percent. A second issue that has not bothered us to much yet, is that it takes hours to charge fully and after that you have about half an hour of power. While it is enough for small places, I can see it becoming an issue even for us as we live in a relatively big house. Fortunately, we usually don't need to vacuum or mop the whole house frequently but I can see it as potential issue. In summary, I would recommend this to just about anyone.
