CONCLUSION

   Three things you'll notice the moment you start using the Floor One S5, the high build quality (and design) of its IPX4 certified body, the LCD screen (which should be significantly better on the pro model) and the fact that the motor which turns its cleaning/brush roller is so powerful that the S5 almost feels self-propelled (this for example is something the Liectroux i5 Pro lacks). After that chances are you’ll almost immediately see just how well the Floor One S5 cleans, yes my floors are never very dirty but I did spill milk and several beverages to check its performance and I have to admit that I don’t think I could had asked for anything more from a hard floor washer. As a matter of fact, its cleaning performance is even better compared to the Liectroux i5 Pro to a point where you simply see no dirt or liquid after the Floor One S5 has passed over a spot. Battery life although not stellar is also quite good since I managed to squeeze 27 minutes by using the Floor One S5 at max mode and 36 at auto (still like I said the floors at home are never that dirty). Noise levels are also reduced compared to what Tineco reports since even at max mode my recordings roughly surpassed just 73dBA from half a meter away. As for the app well, personally i didn’t really find it that useful especially since the LCD screen displays the status of the vacuum (for example you can see when the clean water tank is empty or the current speed mode) but new firmware updates could actually improve the iLoop smart sensor and since you can’t get them without the app you should use it regardless (it also notifies you of when the Floor One S5 is fully charged so that too could come in handy).

   So just how much will getting your hands on your very own Tineco Floor One S5 model set you back? Well, the Floor One S5 is clearly a very good wet and dry hard floor vacuum and so the fact that it currently retails for USD424.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 519Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) is clearly justified. Yes, it’s still far from what many would call affordable but considering that there are countless cordless vacuum sticks out there that cost a lot more and don’t do nearly as much you actually get a far better bang for your buck. Long story short the Floor One S5 model by Tineco leaves almost nothing to be desired and for that it gets the Platinum Award.
