Tineco A10 Hero Cordless Stick/Handheld Vacuum Cleaner with Wall Mount, Super Lightweight with Powerful Suction for Carpet, Hard Floor & Pet - Space Blue

I wanted to try a stick vacuum to see if the floors would get cleaned more often if we did not have to lug out the heavy, plug-in vacuum. I did the research, interviewed family members to see what features would encourage them to vacuum more, tried out my friend's Shark IonFlex, and settled on getting the Tineco A10 Hero. If it were just me, I probably would have gotten a corded stick as you can get a more powerful vacuum for less money without the concern that the battery runs out too soon, and when the battery eventually dies out completely it will either be an expensive replacement or perhaps not available at all. But other family members seemed to think that if there was no cord they might vacuum more often, so to me that was worth taking a chance on battery-power and spending the extra money.The miracle where other family members vacuum more often did not happen (I think each of them tried it once, and that was it), but I am still super impressed with this machine. First thing I noticed, it is very light: it is 2.9 lbs vs the other models I was considering that were 7 to 14 lbs. It also has a 350 watt motor - others in this price range were 180w-300w. I would have liked a self-cleaning brush roll, but my friend's Shark IonFlex has this and she says she still gets hair wrapped around the brush roll anyway. The other thing I would have liked would have been a larger dust compartment, but in this price range all of the dust compartments are about this size if not smaller.The Tineco A10 Spartan is the same machine which is cheaper and has the same features as the A10 Hero but fewer attachments. What sold me on the Hero was the Pre Filter Cleaning Tool and extra Pre Filter (which may only come with the wall-mount version) - this is what makes all the difference! When the vacuum is feeling sluggish and not picking up as much stuff as it used to (and this could happen within 10 minutes, before the battery charge even gives out), first empty the dust bin. If it is still a little sluggish, then I remove the pre filter (which is inside the dust bin and easy to remove), swap it out with the spare and clean the pre filter I just took out so it is ready to go for next time. After doing this, the machine is as good as new.The easy maintenance routine is what I like the best. I probably end up changing and cleaning the pre filter about every 3 times I use the vacuum, and while I'm at it I use a nickel to open the roll brush compartment and clean all the hairs wrapped around it (there is a hook tool included to do this also). Not something that I had to do as often with the corded, full size vacuum, but it is so easy to do with the Hero that it is still more convenient than dragging out the old behemoth. I have not yet run out of battery when I am vacuuming because it is so easy to take out for quick jobs that I do one room at a time and am done before the battery runs out. I have wood floors with oriental or low pile carpets - regular power does a great job on these so I do not really use the Max Power setting.I received no compensation for this review - I am just a really happy customer.---Update: 2.5 months later and I haven't used the old, plug-in vacuum at all---Update: 2 years later - Still very happy with this vacuum! After using for 2 years, I still agree with my original review: love the easy self cleaning (still using the original 2 Pre Filters and it runs like new after they are cleaned with the included tool), but wish it had a larger dust bin because it will fill up quickly and usually needs to be emptied before I am done with a room (I have a cat and 3 people with long hair in the house). The suction is not as good as a plug in, so I have used the Max setting when more suction power is needed. The battery still outlasts my usual 15-20 minute vacuuming sessions (on regular power). Only once I went on an extended cleaning streak and depleted the battery - do not remember how long that took, but it was enough to clean up 3 rooms pretty well.Bottom line: still performing great after 2 years of use, makes cleaning easy, but if you need high powered suction then you probably will want a corded vacuum of some kind.

The media could not be loaded. As a parent of a whirlwind toddler, I've battled countless messes, from spilled cereal to rogue glitter trails. My old vacuum simply couldn't keep up. Enter the Tineco One A50S, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer.Suction Power That Amazes: Forget pushing crumbs around. The A50S boasts incredible suction power that effortlessly lifts everything from fine dust to larger debris. I've been genuinely impressed by how thoroughly it cleans carpets and hard floors alike. Those toddler-induced snack explosions? Gone in seconds.Toddler Mess? No Stress!: This vacuum has become my secret weapon against the chaos. The versatility is key. With the various attachments, I can quickly switch from cleaning up spilled Cheerios under the high chair to tackling the inevitable trail of sand dragged in from the sandbox. The mini power brush is perfect for upholstery and those hard-to-reach crevices where crumbs love to hide.The Green Laser: A Revelation!: Honestly, I was skeptical about the green laser. But wow, it's a revelation! You wouldn't believe how much dust and hair lurks in your home until you see it illuminated by that bright green light. It's especially effective on hard floors, making it impossible to miss even the tiniest particles. Suddenly, I'm finding dust I never knew existed, and my floors have never been cleaner. It's almost...satisfying.Beyond the Mess: Beyond the toddler-specific benefits, the A50S is a joy to use. It's lightweight and maneuverable, making cleaning less of a chore. The smart features, like the iLoop smart sensor that automatically adjusts suction based on the level of dirt, are genuinely helpful.In summary, the Tineco One A50S has exceeded my expectations. It's powerful, versatile, and the green laser is a brilliant addition. If you're looking for a stick vacuum that can handle the demands of a busy household, especially one with a toddler, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You'll wonder how you ever cleaned without it!

After months of researching stick vaccuums for pet hair, carpet, rugs, and hardwood I decided to go with the A50S. I have been using this vaccuun for a week and loving how much dirt, dust, pet hair this vacuum picks up. I have one complaint which may lead to me returning this vaccuum. It's suction power is so strong it picks up/sucks my large flat ruggable area rugs and the roller stops working about 3 seconds into vacuuming these rugs. The suction seems to work without the roller moving, but the suction power is so strong I cannot effectively vacuum these area rugs or move the vaccuum around well without the roller moving. It is a bummer because I love everything else about this vacuum. My goal is to have 1 vaccuum I can use in my entire house. I plan to contact Tineco about this issue to see if they have any other vaccuums that work just as well but can also handle flatter rugs like the ruggables. Otherwise I'll need to find another brand of vacuum that can work for our various rugs.
