4 2 Devices, 1 Motor, Simple, Flexible, and Powerful
Posted by Christina Thomas on Dec 12th 2024
PROS + Swappable motor/battery is quite powerful and works very well for pet hair with both floor washing and dry vacuuming + Both devices are very light weight, good looking, and easy to maneuver + iLoop Sense does a good job of dynamically adjusting cleaning power to the surface + Pet features like anti-tangle brush head and pet clean-up solution work well with pet hair and dirty surfaces + Floor washer has a self cleaning feature that works when docked and does a very good job of cleaning the mop roller + Very easy and intuitive to swap and use both devices, change attachments, clean, maintain, and more CONS - “Dual” base for the devices feels more like an afterthought, with the floor washer base being great, but the stick vacuum base being smaller with only a simple connector to the main base, and doesn’t offer dedicated charging capability - Stick vacuum has a pretty small capacity, better for smaller spaces and/or more frequent/lighter cleaning THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT I have previously owned one Tineco stick vacuum, and have largely loved it. The smart adjustment of power to the level of dirt/debris on the floor, lightweight build, flexibility, and price to performance ratio have all been amazing, and this is a trend that continues in almost all regards with the Series 7 Switch Pet devices. First and foremost, one thing that confused me a bit before getting the device was what the level of “switching” meant for this package. Looking at the description, it almost sounded like this was one “device” that could be transformed into either a floor washer or dry vacuum depending on your needs, with different attachments to help these. That is not the case, and in reality is much simpler. What this really is is two devices in one box, a floor washer and a dry stick vacuum, and what “switches” is the shared motor which drives both devices. What this means is that you have one cylindrical and powerful motor with its own battery that can be used with both devices. Because of this, both devices share the same suction/cleaning power, which in this case is a great thing as the motor is substantially powerful. On the flip side, what you miss with this is that you cannot use both devices at the same time, since you only have one motor in the box. So, the first thing to consider when thinking of if this device for you, is if you plan to have multiple people washing the floor and vacuuming at the same time. If so, you may want to look at getting a floor washer and vacuum separately, so each can have their own dock/charging set-up, and be used simultaneously. Speaking of the dock, in this case you get one larger dock for the floor washer, which doubles as a charging station. The vacuum dock is much smaller, and connects to the larger floor washer dock with a basic plastic clip slot, which isn’t the most secure but does the job. However, there is no way to charge the motor using the vacuum, it needs to be placed in the floor washer and on the dock to charge. Since switching the motor involves simply pulling a latch and removing the motor, this really isn’t a big deal, but is something that again makes this feel distinctly like two devices rather than one shared product. In terms of the devices by themselves, they are both great. The floor washer does a great job getting up dirt and hair with only a couple of passes, and emptying and refilling the fluid container is super simple. When done, you have a self-cleaning function that can be used once the floor washer is on the dock, with the water shield in place. It takes about 5-6 min, and cleans the floor mop/filter in place. I love this feature, and it works surprisingly well. You do get a spare mop roller as well, in case you need it mid-clean, or you want to do a deeper clean of one of the rollers while still using the other. In terms of the stick vacuum, it is very lightweight and very powerful with the switchable motor. It actually pulls my dog’s hair out of the carpet much better than my other dedicated Tineco vacuum, and the anti-tangle roller does a good job of keeping hair out of the roller joints. You get a few attachments you can use for hand vacuuming or for tighter corners/spaces, and this can sit right next to the vacuum on the dock, which is a nice touch. My only real complaint with the vacuum is that the capacity for dirt and hair before needing to be emptied is a bit small for my liking. I wish the container was just a bit larger, especially if using this in larger/house spaces. Overall, I really like the Pet 7 Series switchable devices. The primary question here is, is it worth it to get this vs. buying two devices separately? The answer depends a bit on your situation and preferences. I think this device package works best when you have a smaller space and/or don’t need to be using both devices at the same time. If you are limited on storage space, or just want to minimize charging cords/batteries, this is also nice for compactly having two devices connected together. However, for larger homes/families, you may want to consider buying the floor washer and vacuum separately, as the price isn’t that different vs this bundle, and you can get just as much, if not more, power with stand alone devices. For what this is though, I think this is a great offering, and if you want the ability to switch devices with just one motor, then you can’t get much better than this.

4 Wow, blown away by how cool this is
Posted by Timothy Castillo on Dec 10th 2024
The Tineco Switch Pet Cordless 7 series floor washer is a near perfect device for my needs. I only have a few gripes about it, but over all it does everything that I am looking for. If you spring for this combo, its about $100 more than the floor washer alone, but you get the benefits of a stick vacuum as well, the unique motor/battery swap system makes this possible and I have never seen this before and I find it very cool and unique. The biggest downside of this is not having a spare battery to play around with as I do with my other Tineco S12 vacuum. A bit of a bummer, but the battery that is built into this S7 Switch system has been long lasting so far and I have been able to clean my entire 1200 sq foot down stairs area with battery left over. Included in this kit is a stand system to hold everything, 2 total rollers for cleaning, two filters, crevice cleaning tool with brush, charging cable, an LED anti tangle brush for the vacuum, mini vacuum power brush, small cleaning tool, and some cleaning solution. You only need a capful to each clean water tank fill, and it seems to work well, and of course the motor/battery unit. Using the floor washer takes some getting used to, at least it did for me. I was expecting to have some ‘trigger’ button for the solution to be put down, but in auto mode it does it all by itself. You can manually move it into Max mode or Suction mode by using the mode button. I found that the auto mode was best for nearly all situations, and it worked really well for the everyday messes my kids and dogs make on my hard floors. Don’t expect it to remove some stubborn sticky messes, but not much out there will, except some hard scrubbing. After you are done, you simply empty out the Dirty Water Tank (DWT) and you will notice that any solid objects it picks up are separated by a section of the tank top portion. Then fill up the Clean Water Tank (CWT) and set it on the charger base, cleaning takes about 3 minutes, and it does a really good job. The roller is nearly dry after this, I would say about 90%. I also remove the roller cover and give that a good wipe down since there is some dirt build up on there. This also allows the roller to get fully dry as well if you leave the cover off for a bit. Clean up is a breeze and it is recommended after each use to avoid odor build up. Using the stick vacuum portion is just ok in my opinion. I feel that the motor head, while is great at keeping hair from getting tangled, just simply moves too much left and right and it too wobbly in that way. I can’t really use it for stairs, but the smaller mini power brush works good on the stairs. I also noticed that the stick vacuum doesn’t seem to have a dirt sensor the same way the floor washer does. Usually Tineco’s will display a blue/red circle on the top of the screen (motor battery) and you can see with a visual how dirty the floor you are cleaning is, so this works great with the floor washer, but when you put it on the stick vacuum, you don’t get the same display, it only shows Auto, Max, and the current battery. You can manually toggle between auto and max with the button on the end. Also, the Tineco powered attachments for the S7 do not work on my S12, they are the same shape, but now there are three pins instead of two. The non powered attachments fit just fine though. Overall, this will save a lot of time since you can clean your hard floors with just one pass of this and not have to vacuum or sweep before and the self-cleaning at the end is a real game changer, I feel it encourages me to use it more since it’s a lot easier to clean than previous devices that I have had.

3 Does it's job very well with limitations
Posted by Christina Clark on Dec 7th 2024
The Tineco "Switch" power floor washer and vacuum combo is a really nice set of tools. It comes with a stick vacuum cleaner and hardwood/vinyl floor mop system in one package. The 'Switch" part of the title is a bit deceiving. I initially thought it was one tool that swapped between vacuuming and mopping. That's not the case here. The 'switch' is the motor. You get two separate tools in the box- a standalone mops system and a stick vacuum. But they share a single motor/battery unit that you swap between the two as necessary. Charge one unit and then decide if you want to vacuum or mop. I guess it's a way to keep costs down instead of providing separate batteries and motors for each tool. Sounds like a novel idea, but it doesn't work well in reality. The system comes with a higher end (similar to the S5 floor cleaning system) Tineco vacuum/mop. It's a pretty nice tool. The unit vacuums up dry debris ahead of laying down floor cleaning solution (or water), scrubbing the floor, then sucking up the liquid. There's no need to vacuum ahead before mopping. It does it all at once. The system has sensors that detects debris and dirty and will adjust the power/suction as necessary for the task. You can even turn off the mopping portion and use it just as a vacuum on hard surface. We used it on our hardwood floors at home and were amazed by what it picked up. It comes with a sample Tineco floor cleaning solution, enough for a moderate area, but make sure you read the label about what types of floors the solution is good for. We didn't fully trust the solution on our hardwood, so we used just water. The mop still cleaned remarkably well. The liquid capture bin is fairly small, so expect to empty it a lot. The unit had plenty of power. You cycle through the various modes using a button on the handle. It has a Auto mop mode that controls the liquid dispensed and runs the powered wheels (a really nice touch). It also has a Max mode and a suction only mode. Did I mention it also talks to you? It calls out the modes, when more liquid is needed and when the tank needs emptying. It even asks to be put on the dock when finished. My wife thought he vocal callouts were neat at first, but they got old after a while. As for as a power mopping system goes, we had no complaints. On the vacuuming side, it's a very standard stick vacuum with a main power head and a few attachments such as a upholstery brush and crevice tool. The power head has a headlight, so you can see debris. The motor has a Eco and Max mode for varying suction levels. It did a good job cleaning up our hardwood floors and our carpeted areas. It doesn't match the power of some other high end stick vacuum systems, but it does a good job. Overall, you will get a very good cleaning system with this purchase. As for the downsides, there are a few. It comes with a charging base for the mop tool. Place the unit on the base and it will charge the motor in between runs. The stand itself is pretty solid, but the way the charging system engages, puts the mop slightly above the point of fully sitting in the base which makes the whole unit wobbly. It's a bad design. It should sit down fully. The vacuum has a base attachment that is just silly. It clips on to the mop base and then the vacuum clips on to it. It's EXTREMELY wobbly in this position. The whole assembly is overly large when both the mop and vacuum are attached. There's no hiding this in a closet easily, it's big and ungainly. The 'switch' motor/battery unit, the secret sauce of this system, works fine. The unit provides enough power for both the vacuum and mop. We got about 40 minutes out of it which is fair. The biggest problem is there is only one motor/battery. You can't mop and vacuum at the same time. While my wife mopped, I usually try to vacuum ahead in another room. Can't here. And the real killer is the motor/battery will only charge while installed in the mop. You cannot charge it in the vacuum. We mop maybe every 2 weeks, but we vacuum a little every two days. We kept having to get the motor out of the mop, put it into the vacuum, vacuum the house, put the motor back in the mop, and repeat every time we wanted to vacuum. It was annoying. The vacuum will be used more, the charging should be tied to it. There is a Tineco app that you can use with this system. I can't comment on it because I could never get it to connect properly to my iPhone. II tried for an hour. 'm not sure what I was missing with the app, but I didn't seem to need it to get the most out of the tools. Lastly, there is the issue of value. This is not a cheap system. It does a tremendous job of cleaning and I guess there are some who value the bundled package. But you can buy a really nice stand alone Tineco vacuum/Mop AND a nice Tineco stand alone stick vacuum for less than this bundle. They wouldn't need the wobbly combo stand as each would have their own with a much smaller footprint. Easier to hide away somewhere. More importantly, separate units wouldn't share a battery/motor. You could charge and use either whenever you needed it without having swap the motor unit between the two. I recommend this for the tremendous job it does cleaning. It has it's faults though and buyers should go into the purchase with their eyes open.

4 Great cleaning, but share a motor and pricey.
Posted by Curtis Wallace on Nov 30th 2024
I recieved this unit the other day and have had time to put it through some good cleaning. This is my third mop/vacuum from tineco and second handheld unit from this company. I absolutely love both the other mop units and I have another place I wanted to have one. This bundle is unique because there is a rechargeable battery/motor that swaps between the units. The battery only charges on the mop, which is ok, but I use the vacuum twice as often as the mop, it would have been nice to have it charge on there and I grab and go with that. Differences between this mop unit and my past ones are obviously the removable motor/battery, but also the base unit that charges it does not have a storage spot for the cleaning brush, the extra roller, and extra hepa filter. I will include a photo of the small difference in the base. Not a big deal, just going to have to store the extra accessories in my vacuum accessory shelf away from the unit. This mop also is missing the ultra mode that my past unit had that provided more suction than the max mode, but gains a custom mode (diy mode) that you can change in the app suction and wetness. Auto is supposed to detect and increase or lower water usage based on what it's sensing. It is my usual running mode. This also has a plate that clicks onto the base that has a little seal on it around the roller side. This is a more recent addition that when the unit self cleans, it blows hot air back on the roller when done and they cleaning cycle (which is like 3 wet and cleaning roller, 5 for drying the roller) it pretty much (90 to 95%) dries the roller and keep it from potentiallily smelling. My older units air dry, and havnt had an issue, but in theory it could. Differences in the handheld vacuum are just a few. First again, the motor unit is removable and charged on the mop. There is a little canister that locks back in place as a space holder, I will include a photo. I understand it for an asteics purpose, but really, not needed. It also has the nice feature of push on and it runs and then you can select max suction or normal. I like that better than my old unit I had to hold the trigger and then slide a trigger lock to keep it running. The brush heads are the “no tangle” type on both my units, this and my old unit, and I must say, on standard use, it seems to work. My wife has longer hair and I have pets, I don't fight the tangles nearly as much on this. Only in really heavy hair collections that I find occasionally will I see a few lines stuck on the unit. Performance wise, both of these have very ample suction. They do get really close to the edge on both and with the mop if you are able to turn and approach from the front it is nearly to the baseboards (1cm or sometimes I think less). The vacuum does well on all surfaces, my vinyl plank floor and carpets. The attachments are all very good and useful. I have done the stairs and cleaned many car crevasses with this. The mop does really well also at cleaning up standard dust tracking and dirt. It has the separate clean and dirty water tanks and both easy to remove and fill. Make sure before you go and dump the dirty tank to take out the hepa filter on top to keep it from getting accidentally wet. They do show you can rinse and dry it, and I have had that done to one of my older ones, but I think if you don't get it completely rinsed, the dust hardens like mud blocking performance. You can get replacements for all filters if needed, but this comes with a spare and I've had my oldest one 2 years now and with just routine air compressor blowing, I think it's doing pretty darn good still. For heavier tracking going to max mode and many passes over it, most things clean up. The battery life is on par with what they report, about 40 minutes mop, 60 with vacuum. Enough to get my first floor and finished basement area done usually if I move at a good pace and it’s not heavily soiled from foot traffic. Value for the dollar. This is an expensive unit. The msrp is a lot higher than buying separate units. Performance wise they all do very well from the lower end 3-1 to the s6 and 7 models. The vacuum performs exactly the same pure one x that I have. I don't see a huge gain in utility by sharing the one motor unit, and in fact, I sort of find that as a fault because I can't have both units going at once aka one person doing carpets, one person mopping and saving time. This is and the cost are my caveats with this and I feel for this and I am going to deduct a star for this (shared motor and cost). Again, I do reccomend this product, and I do feel they are continuing to try and improve on the models (warm air drying, stay on vacuum button, customize mode on app) but the utility of swapping the motor a d one between both is lost on me. Seems like technically the company wins because they have fewer expensive items to put in the box. This is something to think about, looks good on paper as a convenience bundle, but the gain has a tradeoff. However, still great units.

5 Looking forward to house cleaning!
Posted by Jason Crawford on Nov 28th 2024
This set came in a huge box. Unboxing and setting it up was not difficult at all as there were visual instructions printed on the box, and putting the pieces together was intuitive. I will say that the entire set takes some space, so be ready to find a nice nook for storage. The design language is modern and sleek. The floor washer is on the heavier side and the vacuum is quite light. The motor adds some considerable weight, and may take some getting used to, especially when handling. The charging base is also heavy, but this helps with balancing, since both devices hook onto it. The battery is charged via the base when attached to the floor washer. There is a handy and vibrant LCD that provides information such as battery level, status, and so on. I also downloaded the companion app and set up the Wi-Fi. The app is pretty basic, but it is nice to have. The instructions have a QR code that goes to a video, which I recommend watching. Once I got it all ready, charged, added water and the cleaning solution, my wife and I were rather impressed with how easy it was to handle the heavy floor washer. Although it did feel strange at first, as if the washer would go on its own, the wheels push and pull in sync with our handling. The head swivels well and can cover most corners. I wish there was an option to change it for a slimmer one for those hard-to-reach nooks. Nevertheless, the washer was efficient and effective in cleaning a wooden and a tile floor from regular soil and fine dog hair. The real test was cleaning around the dog’s feeding area and the entrance, where gunk and dry food accumulate. We were pleasantly surprised that using the proper mode cleaned these areas completely. The washer also did a great job in cleaning spills. The LED light helps in ensuring the floor is truly clean. Also, the included washing solution works well and has a pleasant scent that does not last long. The vacuum also performs well. I cleaned the rugs, and the suction was strong enough to pick all debris and up most of the dog hair. Again, we have a small dog whose hair is super finite and needle-like and insert themselves everywhere. While the vacuum did pick them up, it took several passes. To be fair, this is the same with the other two vacuums I own. I appreciate the accessories and hand mode that allows for cleaning the furniture, blinds, curtains, ceiling corners, etc. The LED is bright and helps in cleaning under furniture. Cleaning and maintaining both devices are straightforward. The washer reservoirs can simply be dumped in the toilet, using an exclusive drainer that I use to drain debris, which I dump into the garbage. There is a scrubber included and rinsing is easy. There are replacements for the filter and roller, which is welcome. The self-cleaning process when the washer is placed on the base is incredibly convenient and effective, taking the tiring washing and draining of a conventional mop. The vacuum is also easy to clean and emptying the waste is intuitive -just do it close to the can as the dust can go everywhere. So far, the experience has been mostly positive. However, there are a couple of nitpicks. The so-called quick-switch means that the motor/battery has to be shared between both devices. While the process is easy, there were times when I needed to use the vacuum when mopping and had to change the battery back and forth. Although better than advertised, the battery life is on the short side and depends heavily on the mode and type of cleaning. The battery lasted less than an hour when washing the floor and 60-90 minutes when running the vacuum. That means I cannot do a full house cleaning session at once and had to take breaks for charging. The battery adds considerable weight when handling the vacuum in handheld mode. Those are all quibbles that may not affect everyone, and I found ways to work around them. If anything, the biggest thing to get past is the premium price. The way I look at it, you are getting two devices with several options and modes for any type of cleaning. I certainly appreciate the convenience of not carrying around a mop and bucket. In the end, I can see this floor washer-vacuum combo become a great addition to our cleaning habits, making house cleaning something to look forward to.

4 A must have, amazing duo for any space
Posted by Tyler Gould on Nov 24th 2024
The 7 series Tineco Switch Pet Cordless smart vacuum, and washer is really a game changer when it comes to cleaning the home, or any space with hardwood floors. The multi attachments that it comes equipped with, smart features and WiFi, as well as cleaning ability really makes this a necessity that will stand out above others. Unboxing can be a bit intimidating, and time consuming, but keep in mind there are two separate machines included, along with 2 attachments and a base. The physical setup is very easy and getting the handles attached to the washer and vacuum is simple enough. There are physical instructions, and a QR code to be able to download instructions. Downloading the app gives you the opportunity to be able to take advantage of all of the smart features available. Connecting the WiFi was seamless and done within minutes. After letting it charge for the recommended 4 hours, I was able to first vacuum which is very lightweight, and does a great job getting my dog hair vacuumed in one sweep, but it does not stay upright without leaning on something which is unfortunate. You instantly notice the battery life isn’t the best, and drains quickly. You have to switch the one battery between each device, so, if you have a bigger job you may not be able to vacuum and mop afterwards. There is a lavender solution included to use with the floor washer, that doesn’t smell the best but works well on my hardwood floors. The floor washer also has multiple settings to use, and the auto mode will actually move on its own and detect where you have cleaned, and what’s left to clean as well. The self cleaning mode is a great feature, but it takes 5-10 minutes and you have to have at least 30% battery life, which is hard to do considering how quickly the battery life drains. The 7 series Tineco Switch Pet Cordless smart vacuum, and washer Is powerful, quiet, jam packed with features, has a great base and multiple attachments that allows you to clean multiple surfaces, but doesn’t have the best battery life.

5 Nice Combo Set, Sure Beats a Manual Mop!
Posted by David Martinez on Nov 12th 2024
Putting the floor washer and stick vac together was easy and self-intuitive. Everything snapped into place and had a space on the charging/cleaning base. Starting with the floor cleaner, you get one extra roller for the floor washer along with a bottle of cleaning solution and a cleaning tool. Filling up the water basin was simple and only having to use a cap full of the cleaning solution means the bottle will go a long way. I’ve never used the Tineco cleaning solution before, but the smell reminds me very much of Hibiclens. When filled up and ready for use the floor cleaner does have some heft to it, but I like having that weight since I know that will help it make good contact with the floor. There is an app available in the Google store for the system and it was easy to pair. You can view your cleaning history, update device firmware, and make some adjustments to some of the settings. I was hoping for an option to disable the self-assist motor for the wheels to help with an issue I will talk about a little later in my review, but that option isn’t available. Turning it on you have three options in the menu for cleaning. You have auto, which will automatically adjust the solution and suction based on how dirty the floor is. You have max, which will give you maximum suction and solution, and you have suction only. The lcd screen on top of the motor is easy to read and gives you feedback to let you know what mode you are in, how dirty the floor is, and how much battery you have left. The wheels are motorized to offer some assistance to move the cleaner across the floor and it was a nice addition, but I found that once the floor got wet the wheels would sometimes continue to turn in the direction you were just moving as you try to push or pull the cleaner across the floor in the opposite direction. I looked in the app to see if there was an option to disable the self-assist motor, but there wasn’t one. The roller goes from edge to edge for a nice wide cleaning swath that allows you to get close to baseboards and furniture. We have cats and had no issue with vomit, litter, or food from around the food bowls. Whether it was fresh, or dried on, the floor cleaner was able to get it up. It just required a few more passes for the dried-on stuff. When going over areas, we found that making sure the area was clean before moving on helped to greatly reduce streaking. It seems like every time we moved on too quickly from one area to another, we would end up with streaks all over the floor, but slowing down and making sure the floor was clean before moving on helped a lot in this regard. Most of the main floor of our house, about 1500 square feet, is wood, tile, or laminate floors and we found the clean water tank and battery were sufficient to get everything done in one pass without having to re-charge or add more cleaning solution. When done cleaning just put the floor cleaner back on the charging/cleaning dock. It will run through a quick self-check and tell you if a cleaning is recommended or if you just need to empty the dirty water container. Running through the cleaning process will take about 7 minutes with the flash drying process. It does a good job of cleaning the roller and gets it almost completely dry. Once the cleaning process is done you can clean out the dirty water bin. The bin easily comes apart to allow easy access to the inside. When done cleaning and running through the self-clean process we are left without about 15% battery left. Moving on to the stick vac, you get the stick vac and two attachments. The motor is easy to transfer between the floor cleaner and the vacuum and when using the stick vac you have two power options, eco or auto mode and max mode. If you just finished using the floor cleaner to clean your hardwoods before moving onto the carpet, you will likely need to wait for the motor to charge back up first and it’s not a fast charge so it will take some time. I didn’t have any issues vacuuming rugs and carpet and I found it to be light weight so it’s easy to push around. The included tools make cleaning blinds and furniture easier, and it does a decent job picking up cat hair and we didn’t run into any issues with hair getting tangled on the roller. The dirt canister is easy to empty, but if you have a full canister with a lot of pet hair you will need to pull out the filter to get everything to drop out into the trash. You can get everything to drop out without too much effort since the filter twists out, but I would much prefer some type of lever system to empty out the bin so my hands didn’t have to get dirty. The floor head has led lights on the front of it, but they are not very bright and don’t seem very useful. The charging stand has an extra base attachment to hold the stick vac and the two extra cleaning heads, but if you leave the motor on the stick vac it won’t charge from this attachment. You will need to transfer the motor back over to the floor cleaner. Overall, we’re very happy with the S7 Switch. I think there is a little room for improvement and it is pricy, but it sure makes cleaning of our floors a lot easier.

3 a decent system for pet owners
Posted by Lisa Newton on Nov 8th 2024
As a pet owner, a dog and a cat, I’m always looking for something that will help me keep my house as hair free as possible. In searching, I learned about Tineco’s Floor Washer Switch Pet cordless mop and vacuum cleaner 7 Series. This package looked extremely interesting and I decided to try it out. Tineco’s 7 series comes in a pretty big box as it is a pretty big system. You’re getting a machine mop and a separate vacuum, both of which are cordless. In the box is also a charging base that mostly holds the mop device, and also serves as a drying mat / mop cleaner. There is also an attachment to hold the vacuum device, as well as the vacuum attachments that come with the system. To go with the devices, there is one motor/battery that is used for both the mop and the vacuum. The last thing in the box is a bottle of Tineco’s floor cleaning solution for use with the mop. Set up is pretty quick, plan on about 30 mins to unpack everything and put together the base unit. Tineco recommends charging the battery for several hours and to full charge prior to first use so that’s what I did. To charge, you have to have the motor attached to the mop device on the plugged in base, the vacuum device will not charge the battery. Once charged up, I was ready to try it out. I started with the cordless vacuum. I detached the motor from the mop, attached it to the vacuum, carried the vacuum downstairs, and pressed the trigger to turn it on. The first thing I noticed was the lightweight of the cordless vacuum and how smooth it rolled on my laminate flooring. The second thing I noticed was the LED light on the vacuum head showing me exactly how dirty my floor was. The vacuum defaults to eco power mode, which did an ok job for a cordless vacuum, but an underwhelming job for a system labeled for pets! While the LED is wonderful and shows every little speck of dust/dander, I feel like I have to go over the same spot over and over to suck up everything. Sadly, it doesn’t get much better when increasing the suction power to max, even though the sound is much louder and the battery depletes insanely fast. There are two other drawbacks to this vacuum compared to other vacuums I’ve had. One is the versatility of the attachments. The main vacuum head does not have the ability to adjust its height. The other is the dustbin, which does not always easily let the dirt you’ve sucked up out. I’ve had to stick my hand in there far too many times to pull out clumps of pet hair. After vacuuming, next up was to try to wash the floors. Finding a pet system that is also compatible or usable on laminate flooring was nice. To prepare, I filled up the water reservoir to the max line and pouring in a cap of the included solution. Next, I switched the motor over to the mop and carried the heavier device downstairs to wash the floors. Turning on the mop starts it in auto mode, which auto senses how dirty the area of the floor is and changes the flow of solution, the speed of the brush, and how much suction is needed. It’s quite nice. Another thing that nice is that the mob has a auto motor to assist movement so pushing this mop around is very easy and smooth, you really don’t have to use any force to clean your floor. Clean up is pretty good as well. You can easily pour out the dirty water and then remove the top section to remove any solids/hair that the mop sucked up along the way. When you return the mob to the base for storage and to charge the battery back up, the mop will self detect whether you need to put mob on self clean mode, which will clean the brush and the internal components. Then the base helps to dry the mop brush. It’s a nifty feature. Overall, Tineco made a decent system but is quite pricey. The vacuum leaves a little to be desired with underwhelming clean up power for a system intended for pet owners, while the versatility and the features on the mop device make up for it a little bit. The switch motor serves its purpose, to easily switch between and power each of the devices, even if it feels a little gimmicky. It would be nice if the battery could charge while attached to either device. It would also be nice if the vacuum had an auto clean mode like the mob does of if the main vacuum attachment was more a little more versatile or adjustable. As is, the system overall is just decent.

I have used a Tineco floor washer in the past and i was very pleased with the quality/performance of their product, specially now knowing that it passed the time test as well i can truly say that this set Tineco Pet Switch Cordless Mop & Vacuum cleaner is my GO To solution for keeping my floors clean and little ones happy! The product is nothing but AMAZING! Very well taught thru as a design and the way it performs, it is powerful yet looks good. I have 2 dogs in my household and sometimes they will get messy from outside sneaking in the house before i can clean them so now having the Mop and Vacuum and being able to switch so seamlessly between the too it comes in very handy! It really makes washing floors such a pleasure now and the results are fantastic. Never had to worry about their hair getting tangled in the brush and relying on the same powerful proven motor i can tackle pretty much any mess in the house, either something i spilled in the kitchen (that happens a lot) or taking care of paw prints or keeping the pet hair away from carpets and couches. The self cleaning solution it works well having the brush clean and dry, ready to go in about 5 minutes. This really makes cleaning the floors in my house a breeze, i do recommend it to anyone specially if they have kids or pets!
