> 3 dayI write up a lot of things with 5 stars because they deliver on their promises, are solid and provide good bang for the buck. But occasionally I get blown out of the water by a product and this is one of those cases. Sufficient research both on Amazon and YouTube told me that the product would vacuum well and I knew I wouldn’t be getting all the attachments or an extra battery. The only thing I was a bit concerned about was the overall robustness. While it’s not indestructible, it’s no wimp either. It should hold up well over the long haul. However, the thing that blew me away was the quietness of the unit. I could carry on a conversation with a speaker phone and I don’t think it would bother someone on the other end. I’ve tried the different levels but for our tile floors the automatic mode does quite well. I think the head designed for tile and hardwood floors would be even better but that’s more of a luxury than a need. We’ve had robots, corded bags and bag less vacuums over the years but this does better than any of them (eat your heart out Rumba, Kirby, and Hoover). Dyson could be slightly better but not the hundreds of dollars more they change.

> 3 dayI LOVE this vacuum so much. We have carpet and hard wood and it’s does so amazing on both. We have a dog and it really gets every nook and cranny when it comes to pet hair. I feel like this vacuum makes me want to vacuum 4x a week and makes the job seem so less painful and easy. My ONE problem is that because I have a dog, the hair is super dense and the tank on it fills up quick, and when it does, the hair gets stuck in the tank and doesn’t just fall out when you open the hatch. So I have to take out the filter to pull it out, which gets all the pet hair/dirt all over my hands. That’s one way I wish it was like other vacuums where you could push the dirt out from outside the tank. But other than that, the battery life lasts so long, the 3 levels of suction are amazing for those problematic areas, and it really gets into any spot possible, especially with all the attachments.

Greater than one weekEver buy something and then realize you should have gotten it a long time ago? Well this vacuum Is one of those things. First off let me say that I’m old fashioned when it comes to cleaning and always thought that a broom and dustpan is all you need psshhttt was I wrong. When I unboxed this thing and let it charge overnight, I wasted no time in giving it a gauntlet of test. The LED lights in the front of the sweeper really lit up all the dust and crap I would never have been able to see with the naked eye, it gave me a real sense of my home being clean afterwards. The attachments all come in useful especially the duster attachment, I used that to clean my ceiling fan and walls and was surprised by how much dust was being captured. I got carried away and just started moving furniture and cleaning under and around to see how well the battery performs, it did not get the 50 minutes thats advertised, I got 37 mins of continuous usage w/o using max mode. Thank god I opted for the 2 battery version though I did not feel the need to use max mode cause all dust, dirt and hair was sucked up in one pass. Which brings me to other features I really like, the suction power and noise level. I get home late at night and thats when I do most of my cleaning thus the broom and dustpan as to not make a whole lotta noise. The noise level on this thing is not bad at all, not something that would interrupt my Next door neighbors and I have a real pain in the ass one that complains over every lil noise but has not even noticed the noise from this vacuum, though max mode is significantly higher but not necessary due to its amazing suction power in normal mode. Its a light vacuum, I read in the comments about some people complaining about its weight- like seriously how weak do you need to be in order to complain about this thing being heavy? At first its lightness worried me because I associate lightness with cheap quality but I was wrong. Everything seems to be durable despite its lightness. The clear see thru design is cool looking and its wall mount is neat and functional and is able to hold all the accessories sans the filter cleaner which is ok. I like how they include 2 filters, i found it pretty easy to clean the filter and the attachment to do so is nicely designed. Pros: light - 2 batteries - cool looking - great suction power - battery life - low noise level in regular mode - attachments - LED lights on sweeper - warranty Cons: As a man I found the handle to hold the vacuum during usage to be on the small side, I can snuggly fit three fingers on the handle whilst having my index finger extended along the side, not a big deal but would have been nice to grip it better. - the toggle switch that allows you to continuously run the vacuum w/o the need to have the trigger pressed down is a bit on the sensitive side and I was constantly turning off the vacuum by accident with my thumb, again cause the grip is on the smaller side. A tad annoying especially when you are in the zone cleaning. - does not stand upright, I tried and once its started to lean over, I caught it just in time. I do not want to test the ruggedness of the plastic Its made from, though I said before it seems sturdy, I doubt it can take a direct hit on a hard floor w/o cracking its casing. Overall very good vacuum and would recommend to everyone.

> 3 dayI also own a Dyson V8 that Ive had for several years but wanted a 2nd handheld and didnt want to pay the Dyson price so I began looking into knockoffs. This one was particularly well reviewed on 3rd party sites so I thought I would try it out. So far I have been impressed. It has gotten dust and dirt out of our rugs that I have already run the Dyson over. It also has an impressively long battery life. The filter cleaning attachment and spare filter that is included are a welcome addition as well. The main con I have noticed is emptying the unit is more difficult. To fully empty the vacuum you need to remove the filter as well, so it can be a two step process. The large floor attachment is perfectly functional, but not as smooth or as tight turning as the equivalent Dyson part. It does have LED lighting which made it easier to see pet hair on my wood floors. My Dyson does not have lighting on the floor attachment so this was an upgrade for me. Also switching out attachments on this unit takes more effort than it does with the Dyson. I had purchased this as a back up or secondary unit, but after a few weeks using it Im considering making it the primary unit and moving the Dyson to back up.

> 3 dayAfter 2 years of use, it needs to be recharged more frequently than once per week. On bare surfaces it works like a dustbuster on steroids. But on rugs and carpets it is no match for a good corded, lightweight stick vacuum available from other manufacturers, like Shark. I bought one of those and now only use the Tineco for light, bare floor duty.

> 3 dayWe have had this vacuumed for over two years. Wanted something for a quick vacuum. These will not replace the cleaning power of a corded vacuum under the best conditions. For the first 6 months it got used a lot. Washing the main filter does not clean it well enough to return the suction power so we would turn it on hi which would reduce battery life. Frustrated it wound up hanging on the wall for close to a year. Replacement filters get expensive and they will need to be replaced often. Even blowing out with air hose will not clean them. I cut one open and the layers are so tight I understood why. The vacuum build is great and it has held up. I wound up cutting off the cloth of two of the filters and replacing them with foam that I can take off and wash. It is now getting used once again.
