In a world flooded with cleaning gadgets, some of which go viral on social media, it can be hard to figure out what's worth the hype and what's not. I haven't even recommended it to my social media followers before today. Why? Because I didn't want to “influence” anyone until I had used it for quite a while. Now that I've put the Tineco through its paces over seven months and can compare it to the other hard floor cleaners I have used, I'm ready to share what I think of the Tineco Floor ONE S5 combo.
A bit of background for you because I think it's important for you to know that we have used a mop vacuum for well over a decade–the Tineco is not our first. Mopping floors with a traditional bucket and mop has never appealed to me. Even with the newest mops that keep dirty and water separate (yes, we tried one), mopping just isn't as effective as I would like.
We used that original Hoover FloorMate Hard Floor Cleaner for years and years until the squeegee started to lose its effectiveness. So we got a new Hoover Floormate in 2019. It was even better than the original machine we had. It cleaned wet and dry messes. It was kind of a pain to clean it after using it, but we didn't care. We were big fans.
