Tineco iFLOOR vs FLOOR ONE series: Smart Becoming Smarter

Updated: Aug 01, 2025

By now, Tineco has been producing wet cleaners for a few years. The company has budget and premium lineups, the iFLOOR and FLOOR ONE, respectively. None of these machines can be used on carpets; they are electric mop washers that pick up small debris but were not designed for deep vacuuming jobs.

The newest FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Series.

The wet cleaners make the mopping experience way smoother compared to manual mopping. All you have to do is fill the clean water tank with a water and solution mix and start the machine.

Since Tineco has lots of modifications, let's break it into three categories:

  1. iFLOOR: a budget lineup for everyday tasks
  2. FLOOR ONE: a premium series that adjusts cleaning settings depending on the mopping job
  3. Steam series: additionally uses steam to tackle stains

Premium FLOOR ONE lineup

The newest FLOOR ONE is a premium and most-featured lineup. Those models come with a larger accessory kit and have a big display.

*The COMBO modifications are not included in the comparison

Smart technology explained

iLOOP is a sensor system that recognizes dirty areas and auto-adjusts suction levels & water flows.

MHCBS technology keeps the brush roller constantly cleaned with fresh water, while the floating flat scraper efficiently removes dirty water. Ensuring brush cleanliness and leaving your floors cleaner.

Hyper-Stretch: The cleaner lies flat to reach under furniture.

SmoothPower: smoother movement, easier to use.

FlashDry uses hot water for washing the roller brush and dries it with hot air after leaving it fresh and clean for the next turn.


FLOOR ONE S3 vs. FLOOR ONE S3 Breeze

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S3 has another modification, the FLOOR ONE S3 Breeze. The Breeze has a base for charging, while the standard S3's base is for both storage and charging. Also, the Breeze includes a bigger 500 ml cleaning solution.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 series

The FLOOR ONE S5 Series has an updated DualSide cleaning head and 3 modifications:

The FLOOR ONE S5 Pro 2 is the best value in the series. 

The FLOOR ONE S5 PRO 2 is a rich-featured model for those who want to have the extra features and to use the device as a vacuum only.

Unlike the standard S5, the S5 Pro 2 has an advanced, animated, vivid display and four cleaning modes: Auto, Max, Suction, and Ultra.

The Auto is for standard cleaning, the Max gives an extra boost, Suction is for using the cleaner as a vacuum, and the Ultra is for heavy stains.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S6

The FLOOR ONE S6 is a premium lineup:

The Stretch modification is the most advanced in the lineup if you don't need a vacuum with it.

It has one SwitchPro motor that can be used on the washer, vacuum, and other cleaning tools. A good buy for those who want a vacuum and a mop washer in one.

Unlike the FLOOR ONE S6 Switch, the Switch S6 Stretch has a Lay-Flat design and a longer runtime.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Series

The high-top FLOOR ONE S7 has four modifications:

  1. The FLOOR ONE S7 Pro has DualEdge, an upgraded display, a fourth custom cleaning mode, and SmoothPower.
  2. The FLOOR ONE S7 FlashDry is the only one with a custom cleaning mode that can be set in the app (water flow and suction levels based on cleaning needs) and FlashDry technology for a freshly clean roller.
  3. The FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch has FlashDry and lays flat.
  4. The FLOOR ONE S7 Switch is similar to the FLOOR ONE S6 Switch with a SwitchPro motor, sealed filtration, ZeroTangle, and 40/65 minutes of runtime in mopping and vacuum modes.

FLOOR ONE S7 Combo vs S7 Switch

Since both include a vacuum cleaner, it can be a bit confusing. The Switch has a motor that can be used on both, and also FlashDry, the technology only premium models have. The Combo has two different devices and lacks FlashDry.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch has FlashDry and Flat Lay design, which helps it reach under furniture.

Has a vivid advanced display

The upgraded cleaning head has dual-sided cleaning technology, which means it can get along the walls and corners to within 1cm on both sides. Another feature allows pushing the cleaner forward or pulling it back smoothly without the need to turn the head around when going backward. There are four buttons on the handle to operate the machine smoothly.

The Floor ONE S7 Stretch Ultra vs. Floor ONE S9 Artist Pro:

The newest Floor ONE S9 Artist Pro has a unique design,a  bigger battery, and a triple-edge cleaning head.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Pro

With Suction only mode, the cleaner can be used for surface cleaning.

The S9 Artist Pro has the biggest water tanks in the industry.

Cleans itself with hot water & dries with hot air


Tineco FLOOR ONE Steam

The Steam series uses steam to tackle stains. It washes the floors, vacuums surfaces, and steams stubborn stains.

The iFLOOR 5 STEAM lacks a display, iLOOP, and doesn't automatically adjust cleaning settings.

The FLOOR ONE S5 STEAM connects to the app, adjusts settings on dirty areas, has iLOOP, and a display.

The FLOOR ONE S7 Steam features an upgraded cleaning head with dual-edge technology, allowing for closer wall contact. It is cordless and has two steam modes.

The FLOOR ONE S5 STEAM is ideal if you want a wet cleaner that also uses steam, as typically, you can only have a steam cleaner or a wet-dry cleaner. The FLOOR ONE S5 Steam offers it all in one device.

A corded modification keeps going when others need a charge

FLOOR ONE S7 Steam

The FLOOR ONE S7 Steam's upgraded display, cordless mobility, the new two-edge design, and two steam modes for hard stains make the device one of the best choices on the market.

Editor's choice

The cleaner has a vivid display that shows the cleaning situation and alerts when something isn't right. A new cleaning head features swivel steering and is more maneuverable compared to the previous generation.

The best electric Steam on the market

In addition to what the Artist Pro does, the Steam modification uses steam for tough stains and has LED headlights.

Starting with the Tineco iFLOOR, all models in the lineup have two water tanks, one for clean and one for wasted water. The cleaning mechanics remain the same for all models. The cleaner uses clean water for mopping and sucks in wasted water into the DWT so the device does not drag dirty rollers around the floors.

The advanced models have iLOOP technology, a display, and edge cleaning mode.

Tineco iFLOOR Series

The iFLOOR series is the most basic washer and includes two water tanks. With an affordable price tag, the iFLOOR doesn't have dirt detection or auto-cleaning modes. Those include iFLOOR 2 COMPLETE, iFLOOR 3 Breeze, and iFLOOR 5 Breeze.

Tineco iFLOOR 2 Complete

If you need a mop for a small area of hard floors, this is a great buy, the best in the price range. The cleaner can remove stubborn stains and do light vacuuming jobs.

Tineco iFLOOR 5 Breeze Complete

The iFLOOR 3 Breeze Complete has a bigger battery and larger tanks. It's a bit smarter with an LED display yet still the basic model.

The iFLOOR 5's compact and convenient docking station stores and charges the device, and cleans the brushroll as long as you put the device on it, leaving no mess or residue on floors.

Tineco's new cleaning head reaches edges

Tineco iFLOOR 3 vs. FLOOR ONE 3S: what's new

  • Bigger battery and longer runtime
  • iLoop sensor
  • The smart auto self-cleaning mode keeps the cleaning brushroll clean by squeezing away dirty water
  • Extra cleaning brushroll in the box
  • App integration
  • Voice assistant helps to know what's going on while you are cleaning

To conclude

Editor's choice: FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam

If you want an additional vacuum cleaner, consider getting the Floor ONE Switch S6 Stretch.
