INTRODUCTION

   Robot vacuum cleaners are without doubt very useful devices (at least as much as the layout of your home or office allows them to be) but even though they can help people free more of their time in order to have a really clean home you need to also put in some manual "work", especially when it comes to mopping. Yes, some models like the ECOVACS T8 and T9 AIVI which I’ve tested do a good job when it comes to mopping but clearly nowhere near to what you'd do with a mop in your hands. Of course, due to obvious water amount limitations (not to mention the very small piece of cloth used) the same applies for cordless stick vacuums, yes, they are very compact and do a relatively good job but again not nearly as good as the traditional mop. That's what smart cordless vacuums (hard floor washers as i like to call them) excel at and today with me I've got yet another such model, the very popular Floor One S5 Smart Cordless Vacuum & Wash by Tineco.

   Founded in 1998, Tineco dedicates itself to the engineering of premium household electronics that are helpful, easy to use, and smart. With over two decades of experience in the home cleaning industry, Tineco never stops innovating and is ready to create an easy smart life for everyone.

   Just like the i5 Pro by Liectroux which i had the chance to test a while back (review here) the Floor One S5 Smart Cordless Vacuum & Wash by Tineco was designed and developed for optimal vacuuming and mopping results on hard floors. To achieve this Tineco is using their very own iLoop smart sensor which basically detects wet and dry debris like milk, water, dust, dirt, hair and pollen and automatically adjusts suction power in real-time. Of course, just like other similar models the Floor One S5 also features a removable cleaning roller (specially designed to support edge cleaning) with a self-cleaning function but unlike many others Tineco has equipped it with a top LCD screen and two water tanks, a 0.8 litre clean water litre tank located at the rear and a 0.7 litre dirty water tank located at the front. Needless to say, the Floor One S5 also features WiFi connectivity (Tineco Android/iOS app with voice assistant) and a 4000mAh built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack which allows it to be used continuously for up to 35 minutes (in iLoop auto mode). The Floor One S5 by Tineco sure looks impressive so let's also see how it performs.
