I've had this machine nearly a year, so here's my experience.First, I live in a large house with what feels like about an acre of floor tile.I have an average-sized foyer with a hallway leading into a large kitchen with attached dinette area, going back through another hallway into a powder room.Plus - a first-floor laundry room and an oversized bathroom in the first-floor master suite.Upstairs, I have two more average-sized bathrooms.Having to first vacuum all that square footage and then using a bucket and mop for all that tile used to take me around 2 hours - if I was quick.It was hot and sweaty work, and I never really felt the floors were clean using a mop dipped into dirty water.After watching video after video on YouTube - and with Prime day sweetening the deal with a deep discount - I took the plunge and bought the 2-in-1 cordless model.It's described as the "BMW" of vacuum mops by reviewers on YouTube, and they're not kidding.Opening the box feels like unpacking a giant iPhone; even the packaging material is top-notch.Every piece of this unit is made with high-quality plastic with rubber seals, ingeniously designed and very well-made.(PRO TIP:take pictures or video with your phone as you unpack - you may need to have to repack it later - I'll explain below.)I now have every square inch of my tile floors vacuumed and cleaned in less than 1/2 hour without breaking a sweat.Every inch is washed with fresh water/cleaning solution, and my floors have never looked or felt cleaner.However, there are some things to know about this machine before you buy it.I won't even call them "cons", just some pointers:1.I wish this came in a corded model.I'd much rather work around a long cord than always having to hustle through the job before it loses its charge.(PRO TIP:move all of your furniture and area rugs off the floor before you start so you can move through the rooms quickly without wasting precious seconds on the battery charge.)2.A full charge lasts me about 24 minutes.BUT - it's important you finish the job before you drop below 20% charge; once you're below 20%, it will not let you do the self-cleaning cycle.3.The self-cleaning cycle.Do not think you're done after the self-cleaning cycle.Like a BMW, this machine is very sensitive with compact parts, and it needs to be THOROUGHLY cleaned by disassembling the wastewater tank, removing the cover and the brush, and washing each part meticulously and wiping down the machine.If it's not squeaky-clean after each use, crap will gunk up REAL fast and start growing mold and mildew.4.Because of the necessary post-cleanup, all the videos and photos showing people standing on a pristine floor using this machine to sweep up spilled cereal or an entire plate of spilled spaghetti are completely insane.Yes, I understand they're just trying to illustrate what the machine can do, but honestly, WHY would you gunk up your machine with spaghetti and sauce when in literally less than one minute you can scoop it all up with a paper towel and spray and wipe the whole area down with Fantastic?Otherwise you'd be spending at least a half-hour cleaning spaghetti out of your machine.DO NOT DO THIS.5.Be aware that it'll take around 4 hours for a full recharge.********SERVICE ALERT**********After not even 12 uses, the machine started to seriously malfunction; while cleaning the floors, it kept slipping into "self-cleaning" mode, shooting cleaning solution everywhere.I had to carefully re-pack the unit and send it back for servicing.They paid the shipping and the cost of the repair, and it was fixed and returned within about 10 days.Knock on wood, it's been working well ever since.FINAL THOUGHTS:I'll be honest, even if this thing lasted only 1 year and I had to keep buying a new one every year, for me it would still be worth it.Cleaning the floors with this machine is a joy, my floors have never been cleaner, and the cleanup afterward, once you get the hang of it, really takes only about 5 minutes or so.This is a definite BUY!

I bought this at a discounted price during Amazon prime day. I have the S3, which I love, but was excited over new and improved features the latest edition flaunted.Let me tell you what I appreciated:-Closer cleaning to the edges: Okay, so though there is a smidge of an improvement here- the new edition still isn’t as good as advertised. You will see about a cm (give or take 2 mm) of uncleared debris from the edge, but it still is an improvement!-Better suction: there is a lot more suction on this newer edition and it joyfully surprised me, definitely an improvement I love. I don’t have to revisit areas I already cleaned as much as I did with the S3.-Design improvements to the cover on top of the roller and the container holding the dirty water. With the s3, I found that at times water sputtered out of the dirty water tank and the cover over the roller, despite both being properly installed. I would have to reinstall them several times to get the perfect fit where water wouldn’t go spraying out. It was annoying. This new design seems to have a better fit, and improved cover that stops this problem. Definitely a relief to know it’s fixed!Stuff that is a con but not so much to outweigh the pros:-Battery Power: battery drains faster, this is the biggest issue I have, but all in all I assume it is because it’s operating at a more powerful rate. It still covers most of my bottom floor so not a huge issue, just something that isn’t always convenient if I have bigger jobs downstairs.-the dirty water tank needs cleaning faster and the cleaning solution also needs refilling faster, and this is for the same reason I think I listed above. I operate normally only on auto mode, so it is likely that the more powerful suction requires more water than the S3 did.The hand held vacuum is decent, it does the job. Easy to use. For the price of the add on, it’s worth the purchase.I put my old S3 upstairs and now have the latest edition downstairs. I am pretty happy with my purchase and have bought several of them for family and friends.Helpful tip for any tineco: I use a deodorizing solution in the dirty water tank to keep it from smelling. I noticed that it was getting very putrid smell in my S3, even when clean, and this seemed to stop the issue. I use the self cleaning feature after every use, Hand wash the components at least once a week, change out the filter and roller every three weeks, and take good care of the machine, but the smell was still happening. I really recommend this to everyone.

My life is already easier. This machine is lightweight - closer to 10 lbs than 17, which was a confusion reading the description. It actually really cleans stuck on food off the kitchen floor, battery life is more than long enough for thorough cleaning of a large room. Only drawback is having to empty and refill water tanks every two minutes, but considering how easy that is to do, and the fact that it’s still a big time saver over old fashioned mopping, it’s hard to complain. If I were to buy another one….which I might…. I’d pop for the bigger tanks even though those models are quite a bit more expensive.This one - the Blue - is a good value for the money though. Thoroughly happy.
