The latest PURE ONE X Air for a small home
Ideal for those who need a vacuum for quick cleanups with lots of power. Suitable for carpets and hard floors but as a downside has a small battery which is why the vacuum is that cheap.
PURE ONE X vs. Air
The two might be similar but:
The X series has less power but a bigger battery so is better for bigger homes with hard floors. The Tango includes a soft roller while the PURE ONE Air does not.
The Air has a smaller battery and dustbin but a lot more power so is a good buy for quick cleanups or small homes with carpets.
PURE ONE S11

Ideal for homes with carpets and hard floors
Has a soft roller in the box. Not suitable for big homes.

Tineco PURE ONE S15 series
The Tineco PURE ONE S15 series includes three modifications: S15 Pet, Pro, and Essentials. The Pro is only available at the official Tineco store. It has about the same specifications as the Pet version yet is equipped with a vivid 3D animation LCD display.
The PURE ONE S15 is not as powerful as the S12 and has a smaller dustbin yet a 5-stage filtration makes the S15 safer for everyone. Unlike the other models, this one has a standing charging station. New zero-tangle technology deals with wrapping hair which makes the S15 suitable for pet and human hair.
Tineco PURE ONE S15 Pet vs. Essential
The two have the same battery, dustbin, LED display, power, anti-tangle roller, and 5-stage filtration. The Essential modification has a smaller accessory kit and a different cleaning head. And also no app integration.
The Tineco PURE ONE Pet version has a higher price tag since it includes extra accessories including a +1 pre-filter, and a direct-drive head. None of the S15 series comes with a soft roller or an extra battery. The battery is available to buy on Amazon but a soft roller is not on sale for now.
Tineco PURE ONE S12 vs. PURE ONE S15
- Suction. The Pure One S12 has more power
- The latest model has a smaller dustbin and lasts not as long
- A different charging station. The S12 comes with a wall-hanging design while the S15 has a standing base
- Not even one modification with a soft roller in the S15 series
- The S15 has a better 5-stage filtration (compared to the S12)
- It also has zero-tangle technology which resists hair wrapping better
The PURE ONE S12 is a premium cleaner with long battery life, more power, accessories included, and a different style of charging dock. Ideal for big homes with hard floors or any kinds of carpets.
The PURE ONE S15 has the best filtration and a free-standing charging dock, yet no soft roller in the box. Probably not the best choice for homes with thick carpets but would be good for any other surfaces.
