Hello and welcome to this review of the Tineco Pure One S11 cordless vacuum. It's one of Tineco's best-selling cordless vacuums and it has a lot of good specs and features for the price. And today we go over all the pros and cons.
Tineco PURE ONE S11 Grey and S11 Tango differences
The Tineco Pure One S11 comes in two package options the S11 Grey version and the S11 Tango version. And besides the Tango version being about 13% more expensive.
The primary difference is that it comes with a soft roller attachment whereas the Grey version doesn't make it a much better option.
PROS
Vacuum cleaner for carpet
Starting off with the pros both the Grey and Tango versions come with a standard vacuum head which is extremely good with carpet pickup.
In the pickup test we did I was surprised to see it was able to pick up all types and sizes of debris. We threw at it with no problems definitely above average with picking stuff up off the surfaces of carpets. It was also well above average with deep cleaning carpets which we test by embedding sand into medium pile carpets. And weighing the bin before and after a set amount of passes on max power where as I said it was well above average.
Power
This was in part due to its power it has a 130-watt motor which we found to have a good amount of airflow at the base. And a lot more suction than normal the sealed suction at the base was above average and the unsealed suction at the head was almost double the average score. This power in combination with a fairly low to-the-ground floor head meant that it was good with crevices.
Handling and weight
The weight of the handle is about average but much less than the average Dyson's handle. I also prefer its more compact design which makes it easier to use as a handheld vacuum than most Dyson's.
Attachments
- powered turbo brush
- dusting brush combo tool
- crevice tool
- unique filter cleaning attached
- wall mount
iLoop sensor
One big pro is the iLoop sensor.
It has an internal dirt sensor that detects particles and then uses that information to adjust the suction power up or down depending on how dirty the floors are and it displays the suction power amount on the colored light loop on the screen. The primary benefit of this is to make its battery life more efficient which it really does if you keep it in auto mode which I also recommend. But it does have a button to lock it into max power as well.
Battery life
The battery life itself is about average Tineco says it can get about 40 minutes of run time on auto mode. We tested it on its max power setting and it got about 10 minutes and a half which for comparison is a bit more than the Dyson V11 or V12 on max power.
Quiet vacuum
The S11 was one of the quietest cordless vacuums I've tested with the decibel meter both in its auto mode and max power mode. It's got LED lights on the forehead which I like a lot and a fairly large easy-to-empty bin that you can empty without having to remove the wand.
The next few things aren't really pros or cons but just kind of neutral.
Filtration
It has a four-staged HEPA filtration system. Which was certainly way better than most cordless vacuums we've tested but there was some slight visible fog in our tests. So better than average but not perfect.
Tineco App
It has an app that is cool and Tineco is one of the only cordless vacuum companies. I know of that have an app but I find the features to be just minimally useful.
Cons
Power brush
The main thing I didn't like is only a factor with the Grey version of the Pure One S11, not the Tango. But it's that the regular floor head that comes with both of them is pretty bad for hard floors. I mentioned before that the floor head is low to the ground. But it also has very small front gates which makes it unable to pick up almost anything of significant size on hard floors with fine debris it's okay. But anything above that it's pretty useless.
Now the soft roller that the Tango version comes with is the exact opposite it's literally one of the best tools out there for hard floor pickup. Picking up everything from super fine debris to extra large debris.
So if you have hard floors the Tango package is a must in my opinion.
Swivel
This one may be a little nitpicky but although I like the smoothness of the swivel on the standard forehead it does require a lot more wrist movement than I'm used to making. For example, it takes almost a full wrist turn to take a quarter turn on the floor head.
Conclusion
Overall, though if you have mostly carpets I think that the Tineco Floor One S11 Grey is an extremely good vacuum with a huge amount of suction power. Lots of very useful tools and all the latest features to give you maximum battery efficiency. But if you have a lot of hard floors I strongly encourage you to spend a few extra bucks for the Tango version with a soft roller attachment.
