Test Tineco Floor One S5: a powerful and pleasant broom vacuum cleaner

Placing the vacuum cleaner is never a pleasant thing.However, a vacuum cleaner as I call it "dog", with a long electric cable, a large pipe and accessories that take up space, it is not always practical.This is why the Tineco Floor One S5 allows both to suck the ground, but also to wash it, in order to disinfect while removing the most stubborn spots.What is this broom vacuum cleaner really worth?

Design and packaging

The Tineco One Floor S5 arrives properly packed in its cardboard, with all carefully packed.There is also a manual in French with some explanations on the operation of the device.We find in the cardboard, the central block, as well as the handle allowing the vacuum cleaner.The rollers are also provided in number, as well as the charging base.

A sample of 500 ml of cleaning solution is also provided, allowing to accompany the water (hot or cold) to be put in the tank of the vacuum cleaner.A brush and a spare filter are also included, with a brush to complete automatic cleaning by hand.What we appreciate is the aesthetics of the device that is most neat.

In order to clean the floor and collect dust and other waste, while passing the mop, the Tineco Floor One S5 has two tanks.The first allows the mixture of the Tineco solution to be mixed as well as clean water.The second recovers dirty water and waste picked up by the vacuum cleaner.I find it a bit of a shame, however, that dirt go to the same place as dirty water, we will see why in a few lines.

The vacuum cleaner consists of three buttons, with:

However, it is possible like me, not to turn it off and fold it when you have finished with energy consumption will not be more important.

The Tineco Floor One S5 has a screen on its central block.The latter displays some information like:

It also indicates the obstruction of the suction tube or even blocking the brush, which happens frequently if you clean carpets.Likewise, a full or empty tank is indicated on this screen, which is practical.But all the information is also available on the smartphone application.

At the bottom of the robot vacuum cleaner, there is a brush.The latter, almost without edges on the right side, allows you to clean the edges and the corners without too much worries.She is responsible for bringing the various dust, liquids and other dirt to the suction system, while cleaning the ground.

Overall, the Tineco One Floor S5 is a very well finished product.We regret however and we will see it in more detail in this article, some small points like the suction in a single tray, wastewater and dirt.

Regarding the load base, it is very practical and allows you to recharge the Floor One S5 via two contact points.However, the latter does not attach to the ground, we would have appreciated the presence of double -sided scotch pads, allowing it to hold it correctly in the same place.It also offers the possibility of storing the rest of the accessories.

Characteristics of Tineco Floor One S5

Manual suction

To operate the vacuum cleaner, nothing could be simpler.Just start a brush, be careful to put it correctly.Then, add water to the tank on the back of the vacuum cleaner.To do this, simply remove the bin provided for this purpose, pour the equivalent of a cap of the cleaning solution and complete the rest with water.Hot water is more effective, but be careful that it does not exceed 60 ° C.

Once this is done, the tank must be gently waving in order to dilute the cleaning solution and allow it to remain effective as long as possible, time to use all the water in the tank.Once the tank is started properly, you can now open the vacuum cleaner by blocking the broom part with the foot and pulling the central block backwards.

A button allows you to start it and it's good, the suction begins, the brush and the suction each make a very different noise that can be identified.The vacuum cleaner is really simple to move and the wheels are assisted to move forward, which allows you to have very little effort to make.

Even by doing 1.80m, I don't have to look into it in all the rooms of the house.The only downside for which the "dog" vacuum cleaner is still essential is the stairs.Indeed, this vacuum cleaner is quite heavy and is not at all optimal for duplex or houses with floor.

Cleaning performance

What I appreciate is that he automatically adapts to the dirt level he finds to more or less force the suction power.It is a very good thing.It is possible to vacuum very small things, however with this model, grains of cat litter hanging out or small lost kibbles will be the biggest objects that will agree to pass in your dust tank via the brush.

The effectiveness of the suction, however, remains good, it is possible to adjust the cleaning intensity via a button located on the handle.It is practical because it allows you to force cleaning on difficult surfaces.

Regarding aspiration therefore, not much to complain about.As for the mop functionality, the Floor One S5 is quite economical in water, which is a good point.Indeed we can notice on the ground, a slight liquid passage, no puddles of water in which to swim a fish, far from it.Thus, the soil can dry quickly.

On the other hand, the most stubborn spots are not eliminated as easily as expected.Indeed, it is a multifunction device that does the job very well, but no miracles either.So do not hesitate to go with hot water and products a little less soft than the cleaning solution provided, or downright a steam cleaner.

The Floor One S5 does not damage the floors, we were able to test it on tiles as well as lino, after several days, no degradation of the soil was felt.

On the other hand, what I appreciate less is the method of collecting waste and wastewater.Indeed, everything is collected in the same baccalaureate.Which at the same time, makes waste and dust stick in the same place and makes agglomerations, but also, offers a smell that will make you empty this tank after each session of suction.

Concern is where to empty the baccalaureate.In the trash ?Wastewater in the trash is not very practical.In the sink or in the toilet?Not sure that it is good to throw any solid impurities and dust in the toilets or in the sink, like 2 or 3 cat kibbles and litter grains ... I opted for the trash, the agglomerative litterfor cat takes care of receiving water.

Likewise, a little cleaning of the brush does not hurt from time to time.It collects all dirt, wastewater and bad odors, it is good to clean it frequently.

Autonomy

The autonomy announced by the manufacturer is approximately 35 minutes. En effet, pour avoir nettoyé un appartement de 60 m²en environ 30 minutes, il restait moins de 10% de charge à l’aspirateur à la fin du nettoyage.However, for a fairly occasional cleaning, for example a blow in the room every day or in the kitchen, you will not need to load it even if putting it on its basis the recharge.

Application

It is also possible to go through the application, adding a new device and selecting the right one, here a Floor One S5.The whole connection process is detailed on the vacuum cleaner, allowing it to be easily connected to the application, by scanning not a QR-CODE but a barcode.For my part, it did not work, but it is possible to add the vacuum cleaner manually via its Wi-Fi network.

Once the vacuum cleaner is successfully added, it is possible to configure cleaning, ‘It is only done with water or with the cleansing solution in addition.

A voice assistant is also available but personally, I disabled it.The available voices are:

In reality, if the application provides important information on the use of the vacuum cleaner and which can be useful, I do not use it.I am not really amateur of this kind of application, which is not essential.Everything can be done via the Tineco Floor One S5 and its integrated screen, the application is there in addition, but it is not essential.

Test Tineco Floor One S5: Notice

The Tineco Floor One S5 is a very practical broom vacuum cleaner to avoid output the "dog", its cables and an interminable pipe.It is however quite heavy but the motorized wheels help a good maneuverability.What is pleasant is above all that it automatically adapts to the surrounding dirt and increases or decreases the suction power according to the latter.

However, this is not the ultimate weapon against the most stubborn ground spots.Also, collecting dirt and wastewater in the same tank requires emptying it after each cleaning, if you want to avoid unpleasant odors.Despite everything, this Tineco Floor One S5 remains a very good product offering a completely correct autonomy and quality cleaning.
