The powerful Tineco Floor One S7 Pro

[Polly Lieberman]

I was finally introduced to a Tineco a year into living in my historic home with the Tineco Floor One S5, and I was hooked immediately. Not only could it vacuum and mop simultaneously, but it was also designed to clean the brush roll continuously, suction up dirty mop water into a tank, and inform me when a particular part of my floor was clean or dirty. When I had the chance to try the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro, I jumped at the opportunity. I knew the quality of a Tineco, and the S7 Pro didn't disappoint. The Tineco Floor One S7 Pro is easier to use, with longer battery time, and better edge cleaning than previous versions. It also came with four modes for a deeper clean. Read on for an in-depth review and discover why the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro rose to the top of my list of the best wet-dry vacuums.

The Tineco Floor One S7 Pro arrived well-packaged in a medium-sized cardboard box. It comes nearly assembled, and I only needed to insert the handle into the main body and add some accessory holders to the side of the charging base. I immediately noticed how the design of the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro differed from the Tineco Floor One S5 version I previously tested. For one, the wheels of the S7 Pro were larger and covered in thick rubber and deep grooves. They glided more softly on my hardwood floor, especially over my considerably tall thresholds. The body of the wet wac, which was made with thick plastic, now mimicked wood panel grains, adding to the sleeker style.

The vacuum head of the S5 was designed so that only a close-edge cleaning could occur on the right side of the vacuum head, as there is an inch-thick plastic piece on the left side of the brush roll. With the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro, the floorhead enables close-edge cleaning on either side, within one centimetre of the wall. I tested the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro vacuum over two months in my 1,600-square-foot home. With laminate and historic hardwood floors that get particularly dusty, there were many opportunities to test the S7 Pro's cleaning capabilities. Because of the wet-dry vacuum's design, my floors are far cleaner than they were before I started using this machine at least once a week.
