Tineco Floor One S5 Combo in the test: handheld vacuum cleaner and vacuum cleaner with battery

Manufacturers like Dreami and Roborock have long managed to make a name for themselves in this country. In addition to vacuum robots (best list), they also offer cordless vacuum cleaners (best list) and vacuum mops with batteries (best list). Tineco also produces a wide variety of products and some of them even make it onto our best list, but this manufacturer is still less well-known in Germany. This is wrong, as our testing of the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo shows.

Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is for getting around 370 euros Commercially available.

The Tineco Floor One S5 Combo looks modern and high quality. The seals and connections are well made and sturdy. The Tineco Floor One S5 Combo measures 110cm from the floor to the top of the handle. The weight is 3.8 kg, which is hardly significant due to the design of the device and the practical wheels at the bottom.

The device is equipped with a modern LED display that monitors the cleaning process. It displays information like charge level, battery level, suction level and cleaning status. A colored ring provides information about the level of soil pollution. Unfortunately, the display content is not rotated during operation and at the charging station, causing the information to be “upside down” while charging. Additionally, the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo has a voice output that informs the user about upcoming maintenance tasks.

The scope of delivery of the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is extensive and includes everything you need for cleaning:

The Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is easy to operate. The handle is inserted into the provided opening and the water tank is filled. The cleaning can begin now. A special highlight of the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is its ability to transform into a compact handheld vacuum cleaner. This can be done quickly and easily in just a few steps. It may be a little tricky at first, but with a little practice the conversion will work without any problems. As a handheld vacuum cleaner, the device was quite reliable in testing. With a proper attachment such as the crevice nozzle, dirt can be removed sufficiently thoroughly from usually inaccessible places. Of course, a handheld vacuum cleaner doesn’t come close to a real vacuum cleaner with a motor brush.

What comprehension problems do language assistance systems face?

Unlike Dyson models, the power button locks automatically, so you don’t need to hold it down. The device can be easily and conveniently moved around the room and has a slight forward pull due to the rotation of the wiper roller. Like most of the competition, the Tineco model can only get under furniture to a limited extent, as the mop head and body cannot be extended completely straight towards each other. If you turn the handle on the body too low, the mop head will rise off the floor. However, the easy-to-read display, which shows important information like battery charge and mode, is practical. In our opinion, the Tineco app is a nice but unnecessary gimmick. Their biggest advantage is being able to check the battery level remotely. However, we consider controlling the device via smartphone to be impractical and therefore pointless.

In our testing, the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo had to deal with different types of dirt on different floor coverings. This includes dry dirt such as sand, oatmeal and wet dirt such as ketchup, eggs and cereals with milk on tiles and laminate. The device has an automatic mode and a maximum mode. In automatic mode, the vacuum cleaner detects the level of dirt and adjusts the suction power accordingly.

In testing, the cordless vacuum cleaner removed dry dirt like oatmeal or sand without any problems. Even liquid contamination does not pose any problems for the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo. Both moist dirt and dry stains were easily removed, and after just a short time the floor shined like new.

Thanks to an improved floor roller compared to its predecessor, which reaches almost into the corners, the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo achieves great results even at the edges. In our testing, the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo reached a volume of about 75 decibels, which is about the same as a washing machine’s volume and on par with the competition.

Maintenance of the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is simple. After cleaning, the water tanks should be rinsed, the filters washed and the brush roll cleaned. The device has a self-cleaning function that reduces maintenance requirements. What we are missing is the active drying function. This makes it almost mandatory to remove the used wiping roller from the delivery box and replace it with a replacement roller, otherwise germs and unpleasant odors are introduced.

A battery-powered vacuum cleaner lasts for about 20 minutes, which is enough for small apartments. Competition here is stronger on average. In Max mode, running time is reduced to less than 15 minutes. However, as a handheld vacuum cleaner, the battery life is about 25 to 50 minutes, which is a good value. Charging time is about 3 hours.

The Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is a premium class device and is priced at an RRP of 450 Euros. Tineco Floor One S5 Combo is for getting around 370 euros Commercially available.

The Tineco Floor One S5 Combo impresses with its versatility and good cleaning performance. Along with dry dirt, liquids and dry stains are also easily removed. Easy operation and extensive cleaning features make the device a practical helper in the home. Battery life alone may be problematic in larger apartments and we also sorely missed another feature: no active drying function, making it advisable to remove the mopping roller after completion to avoid odours. She goes.
