New vacuum cleaner released

The Tineco Floor One S9 Master is a new vacuum cleaner introduced by the company, featuring hot water cleaning, a StreakFree scraper, and a station that can clean and dry the roller quickly.

Key features and specifications

The device offers a suction power of 25,000 Pa and has four operating modes: Auto, Quiet, Heat, and Max. It is priced at 699 euros before discounts and weighs 5.1 kg with motorized wheels for ease of movement.

Performance in real-world testing

During tests in a home setting, the vacuum was effective at collecting dust, hair, and liquids. The Auto mode was sufficient for regular use, while the Quiet mode reduced noise for smaller cleaning tasks.

Technology and user interface

The iLoop system adjusts suction and water supply based on detected dirt, though some users found the reactions to this feature inconsistent. A rectangular color screen displays battery life, selected mode, and maintenance alerts without the need for a mobile app.

Cleaning and maintenance capabilities

The vacuum has a cleaning solution that works immediately and includes a roller cleaning cycle that takes about five minutes. The station helps separate liquids, waste, and hair, making emptying and rinsing easier.

Battery life and water capacity

The device has a battery autonomy of up to 65 minutes, with tests showing that cleaning one floor used less than half the battery. It holds 850 ml of clean water and up to 700 ml of dirty water, though the latter capacity decreases when the vacuum is used flat.

Design and usability considerations

The vacuum can be laid down to clean under furniture, but its thickness might limit access to very low spaces. The station requires lifting the device to reposition it, which can become tiring after repeated use.

Additional features and drawbacks

The Heat mode, which warms the cleaning water, did not show a significant difference from the Auto mode in tests. The ThermoBlast spray helps maintain humidity during long cleanings. However, some users found the iLoop system’s dirt detection inconsistent, and lifting the device for station repositioning is a noted inconvenience.
