Review on Enhanced Runtimes with Tineco Cordless Technology by Rob Madden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Model Overview VS121200US

Initial Value: First things first, at the time of review this is a pretty cheap price tag of around $390. It's well designed and thought out. Other cordless vacuums of this quality start at $650. As the owner of a Dyson, a Shark, a Vacuum Cleaner and an Ork, he immediately does a great job. Good packaging and everything was assembled quickly and easily (everything is basically snap on and can only go one way, here 1+). The mini brush had a great first test run on carpet often covered with a large skinned breed and a small short haired dog. The large breed sheds a fine, long coat (up to 18 inches) and lies on a low-pile carpet. No issues or tangles on the mini brush, but it does seem to get tangled after long runs with long hair. The ground conductor had hair. Wrap (10-20 strands after 15 minutes cleaning), but removing the roller for cleaning is very easy with both tools. The pre-filter cleaning tool is hand operated and works effortlessly! Surprisingly quiet. When you hear it for the first time you will think that it cannot clean well, but you are wrong. It has really good suction power. I tried some dried mud and other dry items and it worked fine without spilling after turning it off. It's very light, so you won't tire your hands when you press it. It's very easy to pull the trigger, it toggles on/off as the speed/power automatically adjusts based on dirt, OR there's a slider on the top of the arm for manual speed adjustment. This device is small, a little cluttered, or has a small footprint, so don't expect it. arge and I've found that in the car it's mostly accurate as long as it's not spinning for dirtier areas that draw current faster. A NOTE, description of the item. The description lists the included tools and parts. It comes with the parts shown in the photos. WHAT'S IN THE BOX: - Multifunctional Electric Brush with LED Light - Mini Brush - (2) Pre-Filter - Automatic Pre-Filter Cleaning Tool - 2-in-1 Dusting Brush - Crevice Tool - Wall Mounted Docking Station with Dual Charging - (1) Detachable Battery - Hand Hook/Brushes -Cleaning tool NOT INCLUDED: - Soft dusting brush - Flexible long crevice tool - Second battery - Fourth tool station Space to store all tools (excluding floor head as it is used on the motor) Given the price difference between this model and the S12US0A10, I expected that it wouldn't have more than a second battery. This was acceptable to me when I ordered it and when I received it (this did not affect my opinion in any way). Not sure what the whole app does, I suspect it's mostly for tracking and viewing, but it's easy to set up and the instructions were clear. The device is well made, valuable and better than expected for this price range. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, buy it now while it's still on sale. OPTIONAL CHECK: Took a fully charged battery, crevice tool and mini brush in the car to test cleaning. Car seats are special fabric, like a wetsuit, and the fabric holes are microscopic. This means that it helps in curing the liquid. The downside is that a fine-haired dog has a lot of fine hair and is extremely difficult to vacuum alone, so you'll need a powered tool to do the 'hard work'. This worked pretty well getting about 90% of the hair. The mini brush had very little hair (hairs are shorter than expected) and fluffed them up great. The battery lasted about 20 minutes using the mini brush most of the time (about 63% charged). Switching between different speeds (Figure 6). After that, I emptied the bin and everything was cleaned up without a problem (you'll probably get your hands dirty, but that's to be expected). Place it in the charger (Figure 7) and it is estimated to take less than 4 hours to fully charge which is as advertised. I'm happy with these numbers as it's what I expected so no surprises here (this is taken as standard time based on consumption and equivalent devices). Overall, this performance was expected based on the product specification. The final update will come much later. FINAL REVIEW: Commonly used on low pile carpets. It works great on both tile and wooden floors. The charging process lasts a long time according to the technical data. One thing I found to empty the bin is to take the bin off the handle. This makes resetting easier. Having the container still attached is inconvenient and usually creates a mess outside of the container due to weight and manoeuvrability. Still like its ease of use and light weight. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a vacuum cleaner, it will not disappoint.

Pros
  • Easily converts to a handheld vacuum with versatile attachments for cleaning corners, stairs and crevices. The supplied mini power brush picks up pet hair from upholstery and bed linen.
Cons
  • No Power
