Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 Honest Review

As someone who has always had pets in the house, I understand the struggle of keeping things clean. I never imagined that a product like the Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum could have such a transformative impact on my home, but after just one week of use, I can confidently say that I should’ve bought it sooner. My house, which used to bear the brunt of my three dogs' antics, has never been cleaner, and it has truly improved my quality of life.

Dealing with Pet Messes

I live with three dogs: two Yorkies and a larger breed. Recently, my male Yorkie has developed a troubling habit of getting up in the middle of the night and urinating on everything he can find. As you can imagine, this became a real problem, especially when I woke up in the morning to find my house reeking of urine and dealing with the mess that he left behind. I tried everything from paper towels to traditional cleaning methods, but it was always a lengthy and tedious process to clean up after him.

Then came the Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2. Within minutes of using this machine, my home was not only spotless, but the smell was gone, and I didn't have to deal with puddles of urine anymore. The vacuum's design allows it to handle both the liquid messes and the pet fur that tends to accumulate. It picks up the debris with ease, leaving my floors cleaner than they’ve ever been.

How the Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 Works

This machine is a game-changer for anyone who has pets, or even for those who just want a cleaner home. The Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 is equipped with iLoop Smart Sensor Technology, which automatically adjusts the suction power, brush roller speed, and water flow to effectively clean up messes. Whether you’re dealing with sticky spills or pet urine, this vacuum has you covered. It even features a 4-in-1 cleaning system that can handle tough messes, all while ensuring your floors dry quickly and remain streak-free.

The real beauty of this device is its auto self-cleaning function. I no longer have to manually scrub the roller after every use. This self-cleaning process ensures that the machine remains fresh and operational without requiring me to handle any dirty parts. It automatically flushes out the brush roller and inner tubing, making the cleaning process quick and hassle-free.

Time-Saving and Efficient

One of the things that really stood out to me was how much time it saved. Before owning this device, I spent hours trying to clean up after my mischievous pup, especially after he’d left a trail of destruction overnight. Now, a quick session with the Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 and everything looks as good as new. In less than 10 minutes, I can clean up not just the spots where my dog made a mess, but I can also tackle the rest of the floor. It’s incredibly efficient, and I love that it can easily reach all corners, including the edges near baseboards, which have always been a hassle to clean.

The cordless design makes maneuvering around the house effortless, and its compact nature means I can easily store it. Plus, the LCD display gives me real-time updates on the cleaning process. I can monitor battery levels, suction power, and maintenance alerts all at a glance. It even has a built-in voice guide, so I never feel like I’m guessing when something needs attention. The iLoop ring, which changes from red to blue as you clean, provides a clear indication of when the area is properly cleaned, giving me the confidence to know that every inch is spotless.

Long-Lasting Battery and Tank

While some users have pointed out that the battery power can drain faster with the new model due to its increased suction capabilities, I found that it’s still efficient enough to clean my entire downstairs area (roughly 1000 square feet). The enlarged water tank means I can clean without constantly refilling, and it keeps clean and dirty water separate. That means I’m always working with fresh water, never compromising the effectiveness of the cleaning process. For those who have larger spaces, the Max mode can be used for tougher messes, while the Suction mode disables water jets for vacuuming wet messes.

The S5 Pro 2 vs. the S3: Is It Worth the Upgrade?

I’ve been a fan of the Tineco S3 for a while now, but when I had the opportunity to purchase the S5 Pro 2 at a discounted price during Amazon Prime Day, I jumped on it. After using both, I can confidently say that the newer version is a noticeable upgrade. The improvements in suction power, cleaning performance, and design are all fantastic.

Cleaner Edges: The S5 Pro 2 has a better design for reaching edges, cleaning right up to the baseboards. While there’s still a small amount of space it misses, it’s certainly an improvement over the S3.

Better Suction: The suction power in the S5 Pro 2 is far superior to the S3. I don’t have to go over areas repeatedly, which saves a lot of time and effort.

Design Fixes: In the S3, I had issues with water sputtering out of the dirty water tank or the cover over the roller, even when properly installed. Thankfully, the S5 Pro 2 fixes this problem with a more secure fit, making the machine much easier to maintain.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks, though they’re not dealbreakers for me. The battery life is shorter than the S3, likely due to the increased suction and water usage. I’ve also noticed that I need to clean the dirty water tank and refill the cleaning solution a bit more frequently because of the more powerful suction.

Extra Features for Convenience

I also purchased the handheld vacuum add-on, which is perfect for spot cleaning. It’s easy to use, effective, and well worth the price for those who want to go above and beyond with their cleaning routine.

For those who have experienced issues with foul odors in their dirty water tank, I recommend using a deodorizing solution. Even though I diligently clean my machine, I found that the tank could sometimes retain a smell. After adding deodorizer to the dirty tank, I haven’t had any issues with odors.

In short, the Tineco Floor ONE S5 PRO 2 is an absolute must-have for anyone with pets or anyone who simply wants to make their life easier when it comes to cleaning. From the powerful suction to the self-cleaning technology, this machine has exceeded my expectations in every way. It has saved me time, improved the cleanliness of my home, and helped restore some sanity to my daily routine. If you're on the fence about getting one, I highly recommend you take the plunge. If it died today, I would buy another one without hesitation.
