Tineco IFLOOR ONE S3 vs. S5 COMBO vs. S5 Pro vs. IFLOOR 3: Smart Becoming Smarter

Updated: Mar 28, 2024

At CES 2020, Tineco launched some new products including two wet & dry devices, the FLOOR ONE S3 and IFLOOR 3. The IFLOOR 3 is an upgraded modification of the Tineco IFLOOR with longer battery life and stronger suction, bigger water tanks, etc. The FLOOR ONE S3 looks like a new product that is equipped with the smart iLOOP sensor and overall feels like the Tineco PURE ONE S12 only mostly focused on wet dry performance. 

Keep in mind, none of these machines can be used on carpets. They were designed for dry wet cleaning and also able to pick up some debris on the way but not capable to vacuum even low-pile carpets. For this purpose, have a look at the company's other models.

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 remains 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 roller around the floors.

The advanced models have iLOOP, technology that detects big messes and automatically adjusts suction and water levels to clean the spot.

The newest FLOOR ONE S5 is a premium and most-featured lineup. Those models come with a bigger accessory kit. The Combo modifications have different specs. We will talk about that down below.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 vs. FLOOR ONE S3

The two series are similar in terms of specifications, both have ILOOP, the same battery capacity, cleaning mechanics, etc. But the S5 models (except for the Combo modifications) have bigger DWT and CWT, and also edge cleaning technology. The main design change between the FLOOR ONE S3 and S5 would be edge cleaning technology which allows the S5 to get deeper into corners and along the walls without leaving any area untouched.

  • Different types of a display
  • Edge cleaning technology the FLOOR ONE S3 doesn't have

The COMBO modifications are not included in the comparison 


Tineco IFLOOR vs IFLOOR 2 Complete

The IFLOOR 2 Complete has the same specs as the IFLOOR but includes an extra roller and cleaning solution.

The Tineco IFLOOR is the oldest and most budget model that has the smallest water tank yet performs great at removing stains and leaving floors clean and shiny. It does not have a HEPA filter so might not be safe for those who have allergies or asthma.

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 is capable of removing stubborn stains and doing some light vacuuming jobs.

Tineco IFLOOR 3 vs. IFLOOR 3 Breeze Complete

The IFLOOR 3 includes two modifications, the standard IFLOOR 3 and IFLOOR 3 Breeze Complete. The only difference between the two is the smaller battery life in the Breeze Complete modification and accessory kit. The standard modification does not include an extra cleaning solution and a brush roller.

Compared to the IFLOOR, the IFLOOR 3 has a bigger battery, water tanks, and stronger suction. One of the significant improvements over the iFLOOR would be an LED display. It informs about the cleaning process or when the roller is blocked. The IFLOOR 3 also includes a HEPA filter and is safe for allergy and asthma sufferers.

The cleaner alerts when to empty the dirty water tank or to refill the clean water tank

The IFLOOR 3'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 FLOOR ONE S3 vs. FLOOR ONE S3 Breeze

The FLOOR ONE S3 is an advanced and smarter model with iLOOP and a bigger battery. The FLOOR ONE S3 Breeze does not include a charging base yet it comes with a tray and can be charged directly which is why it is cheaper.

Compared to the FLOOR 3, the newer models can be connected to the app. The Tineco app features real-time performance monitoring, maintenance reminders, tech support, troubleshooting, and more. It also has a voice assistant which gives real-time updates as you clean, including performance status, power level, blockages, and other operational information.

The display turns red when detects dirt adjusting suction and water flow to leave the floors sparkling clean

The brushroll also has some updates. The new system includes a built-in motor for better cleaning performance and a precision blade that squeezes away dirty water to keep the brush clean. Aside from the upgraded brushroll system, the FLOOR ONE S3 also has a self-cleaning button that makes the roller clean in a few seconds.

When the Tineco is charging, the brushroll is getting cleaned automatically

You get a longer battery life that is also more efficient. The FLOOR ONE S3 uses the same docking station as the IFLOOR 3 does. It self-cleans when you put the device on it so your floors are clean. Also, with the newer model, you get an extra brush roll in the box.


Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 series

The FLOOR ONE S5 Series includes 6 modifications. Let's break it into two lineups: S5/S5 Pro/Pro 2/Steam and the Combo modifications. The main design change between the FLOOR ONE S3 and S5 would be edge cleaning technology which allows the S5 to get deeper into corners and along the walls without leaving any area untouched.

The FLOOR ONE S5 models (except for the Combo series) have big clean and dirty water tanks.

Compared to the standard S5, the S5 Pro and Pro 2 have an advanced animated vivid display and three cleaning modes: Auto, Max, and Suction

The Auto can be used for usual cleaning, the Max gives an extra boost, and the Suction mode is for using the cleaner as a vacuum.

The FLOOR ONE S5 Steam is the only corded cleaner so it keeps going when others can't. This is the only device that vacuums, washes, and uses steam for cleaning. Fresh water in tandem with steam effectively washes the floors. All those extras are a trade-off for the basic display and lack of edge cleaning technology.

The FLOOR ONE S5 is a standard premium model ideal for hard floor cleaning if you don't need an advanced display or the suction-only mode, the S5 Pro 2 has.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 PRO vs. FLOOR ONE S5 Pro 2

The FLOOR ONE S5 Pro is not available on Amazon. Instead, you can get the PRO 2 modification. The two are very similar, both have an exclusive animated display, the same accessory kit, and three cleaning models.

Only the S5 Pro, S5 Pro 2, and S7 Pro can be used in a dry only mode

The PRO 2 additionally has Ultra Mode that transforms tap water into electrolyzed water which according to the manufacturer can be used for deep cleaning.

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

Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 Steam vs FLOOR ONE S7 Steam

The Steam series includes wet mopping, steam, and suction-only functions. The S7 is equipped with an upgraded LED display, 4 cleaning modes, two of which are for steam, and a dual-edge technology. The Steam series does it all including using steam to remove stubborn stains.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 Steam vs. S7 Steam:

  • the S7 Steam has two modes for steam and one extra suction only mode
  • a better LED display
  • two-edge cleaning technology vs one-edge
  • continuous Clean-Brush Washing with MHCBS System

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

The onle model that is not cordless and uses Steam for a better mopping performance

Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO vs COMBO Power Kit

The FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO modifications have smaller clean and dirty water tanks, a smaller battery, and less power than the standard FLOOR ONE S5. Other than that, the cleaning mechanics stays the same, additionally, the COMBO comes with a handheld vacuum and extra attachments for above-the-FLOOR cleaning.

The COMBO versions don't have the suction only mode

The FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO Power Kit is the same yet includes a full-size vacuum with a soft roller for hard floors, and additionally to the crevice tool and 2-in-1 dusting brush, includes a mini-power brush.

The FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO or FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO Power Kit is ideal for smaller homes or those who need additional cleaning accessories for above-the-floor cleaning. The Power COMBO Kit is a good value if you need a full-size vacuum in addition to the wet-dry one for cleaning hard floors.

Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Pro vs S6

Tineco FLOOR ONE S6 is one of the premium products that doesn't have some features the S7 Pro does. It lacks:

  • SmoothPower Technology
  • Ultra mode utilizes electrolyzed water

It also has a smaller clean water tank and runs up to 35 minutes on one charge compared to the S7 which does it for 40 mins.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Pro is the newest and most-featured wet-dry vacuum cleaner with the biggest clean and wasted water tanks and battery life.

Dual-side technology allows reaching along the walls and corners from both sides of the cleaning head

The upgraded cleaning head has dual-side cleaning technology which means it can get along the walls and corners to within 1cm on both sides. The other models can do so with one side only. Another feature allows pushing the cleaner forward or pulling it back smoothly without the need of turning the head around when going backward. There are four buttons on the handle to operate the machine smoothly.


To conclude

It looks like the IFLOOR 3 is one of the longest-lasting wet-dry machines on the market that is a bit more basic than the company's flagship FLOOR ONE 3S. Both devices look cool, those who want a more advanced machine with Wi-Fi, app integration, and smart detection, and also that would be more suitable for bigger homes, we would suggest going with the FLOOR ONE S3.

The IFLOOR 3 is better for small and some average homes.

For quick cleanups and small areas of hard floors, as well as those who do not need the bells of the FLOOR ONE S3 and IFLOOR 3, the Tineco IFLOOR would be the best buy.

As to the S5 versions, those are more advanced with bigger batteries as well are more featured. If you want a cleaner with a handvac in the box, have a look at the Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 COMBO. The Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 PRO 2 is better for bigger homes, it is a premium device with extra features and an advanced display.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S5 Steam is a cleaner that combines all the best in one cleaner adding steam technology. If you need a wet mop cleaner that would be able to get rid of tough stains, have a look at the newest S5 Steam.

The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Pro is a premium machine with the longest battery life, the biggest water tanks, and dual-side cleaning technology which makes cleaning comfortable and smooth. Can be used in a dry-only mode as a vacuum and is suitable for bigger homes.
