Tineco released its mid-class series, the FLOOR ONE i. Let's compare with the S lineup. The switch modifications make the electric mop go to a handheld in one click.

Both models have the same cleaning mechanics and self-cleaning roller. Two large water tanks and a big battery. Both have a lay-flat design, which helps reach under furniture.
The Floor One i series doesn't adjust settings on messy areas
The S series is Tineco's premium, while the i lineup lacks some extras and comes at a reduced price.
What is a SwitchPro motor?
SwitchPro allows going from a floor washer to a vacuum in 1 click
Normally, an electric cleaner doesn't have attachments; the SwitchPro comes with 2 extra tools for a handheld vacuum.
Comfortable cleaning
Key features:
- Adjusts settings in messy areas
- Self-cleaning with hot water
- Fast drying with heated air
- Has an upgraded anti-tangle system
- Features a display
Floor One Switch S6 Stretch Breeze
Self-cleans with hot water | Self-dries with heated air
Better tangle-resisting system
$449.0 on AmazonThe biggest flex of the cleaner is the FlashDry system that uses hot water for washing and dries the roller in 5 minutes, leaving it fresh and ready for another go.
One-Touch self-cleaning system uses hot water and heated air
Why buy the S series over the i series?
- Premium FlashDry system that cleans and dries the roller with hot water and hot air.
- Efficient battery life with automatic suction adjust.
- Resists hair tangles better.
- A display shows the cleaning status.
The FlashDry system is a huge step up over the previous generations.
Self-cleaning with heated water & 5-minutes dry with hot air
With a lay-flat design, the cleaner reaches under furniture.
Also good
TripleKey features:
- Lay-flat design
- Smooth movement
- Large water tanks
- Dual-edge cleaning
Floor One Switch i5 Stretch Breeze
The biggest water tanks in the industry | Reaches under furniture
The longest runtime
$399.0 on AmazonThe i5 Stretch is a good value with the flat-lay design and two large tanks, but the cool water self-cleaning and no drying might leave the roller greasy and stinky.
What it lacks (compared to the Switch S6 Stretch Breeze):
- Auto-adjust on messy areas
- Upgraded anti-tangle system
- Self-cleaning with hot water
- Self-drying with hot air
- Display
Unlike the Switch S6, this one has a simple self-cleaning cycle and no drying. A touch of hot self-cleaning makes a big difference in an everyday clean.
With no display, you don't know the remaining battery life or what's alerting.
The i5 is a good buy on a discount, but I would recommend adding more and getting something better.
Summing up
Editor's choice: Tineco Floor One Switch S6 Stretch Breeze
For $50 more, you get a cleaner that heats the roller after cleaning, leaving no odors or residue. It is a better value over the i series in almost every way.
The Switch i5 Stretch Breeze is a recommendation to buy if it is on sale, even tho as a handheld vacuum, both cleaners are the same.
