We tested two of Tineco's flagship products: iFloor 3, for vacuuming and scrubbing floors with incredible efficiency, and A11 Master +, with excellent autonomy and all kinds of accessories included in the box.
Tineco iFloor 3: vacuuming and scrubbing
Cordless vacuum cleaners have changed the concept of how we use these types of household tools. Always at hand and ready to be used even at the most unexpected moment, without the messy cables and easily manageable. But what happens when what falls on the ground contains liquid? What if, in addition to vacuuming solid items, we want to mop the floor? Well, that is precisely where this Tineco iFloor 3 vacuum cleaner comes in, because it is a vacuum cleaner-mop that combines the virtues of a powerful vacuum cleaner with a mop that will leave the surface that you have cleaned sparkling.
With the best features that can be asked of a tool of this category, this iFloor 3 vacuum cleaner thus becomes the perfect all in one for any home:
- 150W motor for a powerful and low-noise vacuum cleaner (78 dB)
- Autonomy of 25 minutes with rechargeable 3000mAh battery that recharges in 4 hours
- 600ml water tank
- 500ml dirt tank
- Self-cleaning mode so you don't have to get your hands dirty
- Charging and self-cleaning base
- Digital screen
- Triple filter system, with HEPA filter (including a replacement)
- Includes liquid cleaner to add to water and cleaning accessory
One of the things that worried me most when I saw the type of vacuum cleaner was the cleaning of it. Mixing dirt and water has never been a good idea with vacuum cleaners, and I didn't know how this was going to be handled on the iFloor 3. However, it didn't take long for me to find out, because thanks to the double tank (clean and dirty) to the double circuit that is incorporated, the dirt never reaches any other place in the vacuum cleaner outside the dirt tank.
Using it is as simple as filling the tank with clean water, adding a cap of cleaning solution, removing it from the charging base and pressing a button. Cleaning it after use is not more complicated, you just have to empty the dirty water tank, clean it and put it back in its place. The self-cleaning system also keeps the roller and the vacuum head clean., although if you want you can remove the roller when you need it to clean it more thoroughly. It is not a device that requires great maintenance to always have it ready, and that is much appreciated.
The digital display that it also includes is highly null, since it indicates important data such as the remaining battery, the vacuuming speed (controllable with a button on the handle), the status of both tanks and possible jams in the cleaning roller, in addition when the self-cleaning system is active. If to this we add a fairly gentle handling despite looking like a bulky vacuum cleaner, and a very contained weight That allows you to take it anywhere, this iFloor 3 is an excellent cleaning tool for your home.
The other aspect that worried me was how I would treat the floor of the house, which is quite delicate as it is wooden parquet. No problem, because the microfiber roller is really soft, and the scrubbing it performs leaves only a trace of moisture that takes just a few seconds to dry. It can be used on almost any type of surface: marble, wood, synthetic, linoleum, etc. The manufacturer does not recommend its use on carpets or very rough surfaces as the final result may not be the most suitable.
The only "but" I can put on this vacuum cleaner-mop is that its autonomy is just enough to be able to clean a house or flat of normal size, being almost always necessary to do it in two parts. But the truth is that the ease of use and the excellent final result make this inconvenience go into the background, to which we must add the little maintenance required. Its price is € 329 on Amazon (link)
Tineco A11 Master +
The other cordless vacuum cleaner is, a priori, a much more conventional vacuum cleaner although with quite a few surprises inside the box. Suction power and great autonomy are its main characteristics, to which we can add a long list of accessories included in the box:
- 120W vacuum power with low noise
- 4 filter system, including HEPA filter
- 600ml dirt tank
- Cleaning heads with LED lights to illuminate dark areas
- Charging base with space for accessories and additional charger for extra battery
- Two batteries for 50 minutes of total autonomy (25 × 2)
- Two complete heads with delicate brush and deep cleaning brush
- Replacement microfiber filter
- Mini head for cleaning socas, bedding, etc.
- Articulating elbow to reach difficult areas
- Flexible elbow
- Brush heads, narrow mouth ...
As you can see, it is difficult to think of something that is not included in the box of this A11 Master +. The most striking thing is the double battery, which thanks to the fact that the base has an additional space for the second battery, guarantees you always have 50 minutes of autonomy available, more than enough for cleaning the entire house. In addition, the fact that the battery is removable means that when it deteriorates, you can buy another battery and not a complete vacuum cleaner. It is also appreciated the full double head, where other brands offer you an additional roller, Tineco has chosen to make things easier for us and include two heads, to switch from one to the other with a click, without having to disassemble the rollers.
The vacuum cleaner is very maneuverable, with a perfect operation even with one hand, and the huge variety of accessories included allow you to reach the most inaccessible corner of your house: under or above cupboards, between the sofa cushions or on the corner behind the shelf without having to remove it. Cleaning is very efficient, and the tank large enough to empty only at the end.
A vacuum cleaner with the best features that you can find in its category and that also includes everything you need to get the most out of it, including an additional battery. For the honors there would have been no more a bag to store all the accessories that are included. Maneuverable, light, low noise and powerful, This Tineco A11 Master + can be purchased on Amazon for € 389 (link)
