The high price tag on the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro might make you pause, but when you get this wet-dry vacuum in your hands, you'll see what the fuss is about. Tineco leads the way when it comes to the best mop-vacs. I've previously tested its predecessor, the Tineco Floor One S5, and was thoroughly impressed with its cleaning capability (the price wasn't too bad either). However, I noticed a few updates when I got my hands on the upgraded S7 Pro. The materials alone are more deluxe and better quality, from thick rubber wheels to the hard plastic body that looks like wood. Then there's the LCD screen that is outfitted with a Tineco Assistant, an animated character that utilizes instructional videos to show you how to set up and use the wet-dry vacuum. It informs you of everything from battery power to self-cleaning measures to take.
The self-propelling feature and a swivelling head make it easy to maneuver this wet wac and reach tight spaces without having to move furniture. Edge cleaning has been improved on both sides of the vacuum head so that it reaches within one centimetre of a baseboard. The iLoop Smart Sensor detects dirt and stains on the floor that even the headlights can't show you and increases the suction as you go over the area. A "loop" on the LCD screen is coloured red when the floor is dirty and then turns blue when the floor is clean. Most substances only need one pass, sometimes two, with the Tineco before the loop turns blue.
Switch between the four modes — auto, max, ultra, and suction — with a button on the handle. Max and ultra provide more water for tough stains, and the suction mode sucks up liquid spills. It generally took only one or two passes of the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro to pick up any kind of debris, liquid, or stain. I can verify that the dirty water tank was full of dark brown liquid by the end, which is both gross and highly satisfying.
There are two self-cleaning modes: a quick one that takes two minutes and a super self-cleaning mode that takes six minutes. The brush roll is also dried in this process, another upgrade from the Tineco S5. The battery lasted much longer than I needed to clean my house, and the clean water tank wasn't empty either. If only it could clean rugs.
