Tineco has been producing wet cleaners for a few years now. The company has budget and premium lineups. Some may be suited for surface cleaning but not for a deep vacuuming job.
Since Tineco has lots of modifications, let's break it into three categories:
- iFLOOR: a budget lineup
- FLOOR ONE: a premium series
- 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.

Smart technology explained
iLOOP is a sensor system that recognizes dirty areas and auto-adjusts suction levels & water flows.
Hyper-Stretch: The cleaner lies flat to reach under furniture.
SmoothPower: smoother movement, easier to use.
FlashDry uses hot water to wash the roller brush and dries it with hot air, leaving it fresh and clean for the next turn.
FLOOR ONE S3 vs. S5 series
The Tineco FLOOR ONE S3 has another modification, the FLOOR ONE S3 Breeze. The Breeze has a dedicated base for charging, while the standard S3's base serves both storage and charging purposes.
The FLOOR ONE S5 Series has an updated DualSide cleaning head and 3 modifications: the basic Breeze Complete with no iLOOP and Wi-Fi, and the FLOOR ONE S5 Combo, which includes extra accessories
The i5 Stretch has the same price and better value overall.
The newer FLOOR ONE i5 Stretch looks like a better value with a dual-sided cleaning head and a lower price tag. The cleaning specs remain the same.
FLOOR ONE S6 (3 modifications)
- The FLOOR ONE S6 Stretch is an upgraded model featuring a triple-sided edge design that lays flat to 180 degrees. The cleaning head is maneuverable thanks to mini-wheels, and it has FlashDry technology.
- The FLOOR ONE Switch S6 has a SwitchPro motor and a vacuum cleaner 5-in-1.
The Switch Stretch modification is the most advanced in the lineup.

*Floor One S6 Stretch vs. S7 Stretch Ultra
Floor ONE Switch S6 Stretch
SwitchPro motor and Lay-Flat Design
Uses hot water and air to wash and dry the roller brush
$599.0 on AmazonIt 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.
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.
Unlike the S6 Stretch, the Switch S6 Stretch includes a vacuum cleaner and a SwitchPro motor with it.
The best value for a 5-in-1 smart device.
Switch S6 Stretch vs FLOOR ONE S7 Switch
The S6 series lacks SmoothDrive and streak-free drying. Instead, it features full-path self-clean and lies flat. Its FlashDry temperature is higher too (158°F vs. 185°F).
The S7 series supports back and forth movements with SmoothDrive and leaves no streaks as it cleans.
Battery and water tank capacities remain the same.
Overall, the Switch S6 Stretch looks like a better value.

There are four buttons on the handle to operate the machine smoothly.
Self-cleaning cycle washes and dries the whole vacuum
