Tineco A11 Hero Cordless Lightweight Stick Vacuum Cleaner, 450W Motor for Ultra Powerful Suction Handheld Vac for Carpet, Hard Floor & Pet

This is a great little vacuum for smooth floors, and it also works quite well for low-pile carpets and area rugs, though you may have to step on the corner of a mat to keep it in place. Low suction power is generally sufficient for most smooth-floor vacuuming, and at that setting, the battery lasts at least as long as advertised. It also has medium and high suction settings. I kind of wish it were designed to charge without the dust bin, so it could charge while the dust bin is drying. I prefer the option of some other models in which the charger plugs directly into the motor. That said, the fact that the unit charges automatically when hung in its bracket is very convenient. This is an unbelievable bargain, considering it is also a powerful little hand vac with a rotating brush. I am beyond pleased every time I see an ad for another brand costing more than twice as much and think, My Tineco does that! Of course I havent had it long and dont know how long it will last.

I bought this thinking I could use it for my whole house and I can NOT. Its great for quick pickups around the house and for smaller projects like the car or the couch, or if the dog sheds in the kitchen. However, it is terrible on carpet and rugs. Im keeping it as a quick backup vacuum, the suction is impressive. On high power it dies after 12 minutes, but does run up to 30-40 on low power, which is really all you need for a quick sweep around the house on the hardwood/tile floors.

The vacuum is very lightweight and easy to move around the whole house, stairs are super easy and no lugging around a tank and getting tangled up in the cord. Works great with dog hair & kid “stuff”. Depending on your home you may need to empty the canister after each room but it’s kind of fun to see how much you’re cleaning up! Definitely recommend, wish we hadn’t waited so long to get it!

Update to my Update: I emailed customer service in hopes for one last ditch effort- I wanted to love this vacuum still. I did receive a reply within 24 hours asking for the usual model #, proof of purchase date, a video of the issues, etc. In my haste and busy lifestyle I put that on my list of to-dos and didn’t earnestly get this done. I started a hunt for a new vacuum instead as I really needed one that did well on carpets as we have two rooms with thick carpet. I hade given up on this little stick gem. I say gave up, because the problem was really me, not the vacuum! The “battery” would die within 2 minutes of use, even when fully charged or even when the battey was changed out for a alternate battery. The red lights would flash and I assumed it was the vacuum was a dud. I thought I maintained it well- emptied the bin, flushed out clogs in the rollers or in the tubes, but I didn’t clean and wash the upper filter often. THAT was the issue! I sat down and found my manual that explained the error lights and shutting down could be from clogs and have nothing to do with the battery. I did a major cleaning, including washing the filters and leaving it off the charger for 24 hours for everything to dry and re-set and recharged her. Whatya know! She worked like new! I’m ashamed and pleased at the same time. I didn’t expect a clogged filter to behave like a failed battery. So if you’re having “charging” issues do a full maintenance and try again. It may not be your battery at all. This vacuum is great for my mostly tile and hardwood floors. It gets under furniture and tables very well. It’s good for quick spills and stairs. It does a good “once over” on carpets and rugs, but I’d still use a heavy duty vac for carpets for deep cleans and pet hair. I’m giving it 4 stars for the lack of deep carpet cleaning, but it’s not realistic to think a stick vacuum would perform the same. It is a good vacuum and I love having it plugged into it’s wall stand in the hallway where I need it both “out of the way, but always accessible.” Don’t give up too easily on this little vacuum. It’s powerful and reliable if you take care of it and follow the manual and maintain it adequately. Update: After having this for about six months, I hate this vacuum. I even bought a second battery for this so I could switch it out and keep going. As if! It lasts about 5-6 min on a full charge and when I go to switch out to the other battery, it’s never charged! The too sectioned of the charger has an extra port so you can charge the vacuum and the extra battery at the same time, but it doesn’t charge the top one. It’s like you have to charge the vacuum with the battery and then remember to switch out the battery and put the back up one in and charge it again. I don’t know why it can’t charge both at the same time! The tube often gets clogged and requires constant cleaning. I understand that vacuums need constant maintenance, but stopping 3 times for one room is excessive. I’ve begun to hate vacuuming because of the poor performance of this vacuum. For the very high price I expected it to work better. The extra battery was an additional small fortune. I might have well bought a dyson. I regret my purchase. I love my new vacuum!!! I especially love vacuuming my stairs. I’ve never had a stick vacuum and I must say I’ve been missing out! I love that my vacuum is hanging on my wall easily accessible and I don’t have to hunt for a plug and move the plug to every room. I LOVE that it is so light. I feel motivated to use it for the smallest messes because it’s so light and accessible. I confess…I’ve used it on my counters and dinning table to get crumbs with the handheld version. I mean why not? I bought the extra battery pack because I wanted the security of knowing I could keep going if I needed to, but surprisingly I have never used it! The battery lasts well enough to do my downstairs just fine, even on high. I use it every day to do a quick run around to get my entryway and kitchen and where the dogs come in from the doggie door. I do have one complaint though… whom ever designed this did NOT consider left handedness. It’s obnoxious that if I’m using my left hand to vacuum I keep turning it off. The, how-do-I-say, lever? keeps turning off because it’s designed to be held by a right-handed person. You have to be a left handed person to explain but you have to be conscious of the “on” lever when you’re using your left hand. I wish they had a design that would “latch” instead.

Ever buy something and then realize you should have gotten it a long time ago? Well this vacuum Is one of those things. First off let me say that I’m old fashioned when it comes to cleaning and always thought that a broom and dustpan is all you need psshhttt was I wrong. When I unboxed this thing and let it charge overnight, I wasted no time in giving it a gauntlet of test. The LED lights in the front of the sweeper really lit up all the dust and crap I would never have been able to see with the naked eye, it gave me a real sense of my home being clean afterwards. The attachments all come in useful especially the duster attachment, I used that to clean my ceiling fan and walls and was surprised by how much dust was being captured. I got carried away and just started moving furniture and cleaning under and around to see how well the battery performs, it did not get the 50 minutes thats advertised, I got 37 mins of continuous usage w/o using max mode. Thank god I opted for the 2 battery version though I did not feel the need to use max mode cause all dust, dirt and hair was sucked up in one pass. Which brings me to other features I really like, the suction power and noise level. I get home late at night and thats when I do most of my cleaning thus the broom and dustpan as to not make a whole lotta noise. The noise level on this thing is not bad at all, not something that would interrupt my Next door neighbors and I have a real pain in the ass one that complains over every lil noise but has not even noticed the noise from this vacuum, though max mode is significantly higher but not necessary due to its amazing suction power in normal mode. Its a light vacuum, I read in the comments about some people complaining about its weight- like seriously how weak do you need to be in order to complain about this thing being heavy? At first its lightness worried me because I associate lightness with cheap quality but I was wrong. Everything seems to be durable despite its lightness. The clear see thru design is cool looking and its wall mount is neat and functional and is able to hold all the accessories sans the filter cleaner which is ok. I like how they include 2 filters, i found it pretty easy to clean the filter and the attachment to do so is nicely designed. Pros: light - 2 batteries - cool looking - great suction power - battery life - low noise level in regular mode - attachments - LED lights on sweeper - warranty Cons: As a man I found the handle to hold the vacuum during usage to be on the small side, I can snuggly fit three fingers on the handle whilst having my index finger extended along the side, not a big deal but would have been nice to grip it better. - the toggle switch that allows you to continuously run the vacuum w/o the need to have the trigger pressed down is a bit on the sensitive side and I was constantly turning off the vacuum by accident with my thumb, again cause the grip is on the smaller side. A tad annoying especially when you are in the zone cleaning. - does not stand upright, I tried and once its started to lean over, I caught it just in time. I do not want to test the ruggedness of the plastic Its made from, though I said before it seems sturdy, I doubt it can take a direct hit on a hard floor w/o cracking its casing. Overall very good vacuum and would recommend to everyone.

I did a lot of searching for stick vacuums and read a lot of reviews. This one came up several times as an affordable alternative to a dyson. After putting it together and charging it, I took it for a spin. I have hardwood floors through out with a few area rugs. It picks up every bit of dirt and misc items on my floors no problem and cleaned the rugs with ease. The proof is in the container, so much dirt and hair pulled up. It is light weight and easily cleaned 4 rooms in about 10 minutes. I am really happy I purchased and my life got that much better :) Also, this is just a regular review not paid. I feel it would be helpful for those people looking for a good stick vacuum to not get the run around.

Works best for quick spot cleaning and hardwood floors but can also work as a whole house vac if you have enough batteries or break your house up into sections and do one section a day.

I have owned the A11 hero for two years now. Just before the warranty was up, I had to make a claim through email. They took care of me immediately and sent the correct part that repaired the problem. Excellent job! I used this on vacuum on hard floors and loose floor mats and it works great. I will take care of surface stuff on thick carpet but I do use a heavy vacuum for the the deep cleaning. You need to clean your filters. I didnt realize that there was a metal mesh filter in the canister that could be cleaned until recently. There are just a couple of things I think that need improvement. It would be extremely convenient if the vacuum cannister part could hang on a countertop when you have to stop and move something out of the way. The trigger to stay in the running position is to easy to flip off, and the handgrip is a little narrow for big hands. Otherwise it is a great vacuum. I recommend this to my friends.

I bought this in June 2021. Its my first and only stick vacuum. I got to test a friends Dyson stick vacuum back in May 2021 and was impressed. I wanted one of my own but when I saw the $700 price on the Dyson, I was like, NOPE. I bet I can find a cheaper alternative that works just as good on Amazon. Thus, the Tineco A11. I was surprised to see that they are still selling the exact same model (you know how you see the Last purchased blah blah at the top?). I paid less than what its currently advertised at right now, by about $40 I think. I would still pay what its priced at now, but probably no more. On to the review. 1. Suction. This is by far the most important part of a vacuum. Suction determines how much crap you pull off your floors. I probably do what most people do, and determine suction by how it treats the carpet as you roll over it. If it fluffs the carpet, then you know its getting in there pretty deep. The reality is that you can accidentally fluff your own carpet by the direction you roll in, so beware of mistaking that for good suction. The Tineco has three suction levels. I use lower levels on hardwood and higher levels on carpet. The Tineco had great suction the first year or so. I have noticed that suction has decreased, specifically on carpet, and I am often running over the same area of the carpet more than once. However, this may be due to the damage my vacuum incurred (see below). 2. Pet Power. I have two dogs and two cats. I have a short-haired pit bull/blue heeler mix and a longer haired husky mix. The husky just recently joined our family. I bought this vacuum because my pit heeler sheds like crazy. Little course white hairs EVERYWHERE that stick to EVERYTHING and are damn near impossible to remove from furniture. Add the husky, with her winter coat shedding these long, fine poof-ball clumps of hair and its basically dog hair hell at my house. I have to vacuum twice a day if I want to stay on top of it. (Do I, though? No. lol). I have a robot vacuum that I use in addition to the Tineco because theres just THAT MUCH HAIR. The Tineco is great at picking up the hair off the hardwood floor and the couch. However, I have to clean out my Tineco pretty much every time I use it if I want it to be efficient. My dogs hair tends to clump up and get stuck in the long stick, and in the opening into the canister where all the crap is sucked in. Additionally, I have to clean out the brush/roller and make sure the hole behind the brush/roller is free of debris as it tends to back up there as well. Luckily, the Tineco comes with this handy little cleaning tool with a blade for cutting out hair/string that wraps around the roller. But honestly scissors work better. Lastly, if you like to use the carpet deodorizers like I do, then the Tineco sucks it up well. The only problem is that you will be washing out the filters much more frequently. A lot of these stick vacuums claim to be designed for pet hair. Dont believe it. No stick vacuum is ever going to be as powerful as a full sized pet vacuum. Just look at the canister. It barely holds anything. When I brush my husky, I have three times the amount of hair that the little canister holds. When I vacuum my floors with the Tineco, I have to empty the canister at least 3 times. 3. Product features. Its a basic stick vacuum. You get a number of attachments, but I only use the long stick and the small stick. I noticed that with the other attachments, the suction is basically non-existent. Thats even before my vacuum had its little accident. For the couches, I just put the whole damn thing on there with the stick/roller attachment. Works great. As far as indicator lights go, you get battery and suction level. There are also a couple of filter types: 1) basic filter (you receive two, I bought two additional). These need to be cleaned frequently. If its not clean, you can hear it in the vacuum - it has this high pitched whining sound. I wash mine out with dish soap and warm water after every use. Since I have 4, I just keep three dry and waiting and swap them out. Works great. They clean really easily. 2) The HEPA filter is this metal type filter that goes in the top of the canister. Ive only cleaned it once, and it barely had any dirt in it. I honestly dont know what purpose it really serves. I did not buy any additional of this type of filter and only one came with the vacuum. 4. Design. Its a stick vacuum. They are trendy right now. So you get to say you own one. Are they just as good as a full-powered vacuum? Nope. However, what I love about my Tineco is that I can hang it on the wall, its wireless, and lightweight. I can take it anywhere. It serves as a dustbuster (if you were born in the 80s or before, you know what this is). Hell sometimes I even use it to vacuum my dogs. Cant do that with a Hoover. 5. Reliability/Cost-effectiveness. Ive had this vacuum for almost two years. It has not broken down once. As long as you take care of it, clean it well, and wash out the filters, it should last you. Now I used to spend about $100 a year on a brand new vacuum, because $100 vacuums only last about a year. I didnt mind because it meant that I always had a brand new vacuum with great suction. This thing has cost me about the same (about $100/year so far) and now Ive broken even, so we will see what happens in the next couple of years. 6. The Accident. As this is a stick vacuum with the bulk of the cleaning mechanism loaded at the top, it is top-heavy. You cant just set it anywhere, especially if you have the roller on. I made this mistake and set it temporarily against the corner of the wall, thinking that it would stay. It didnt. It fell and I noticed that a very tiny plastic piece broke off the canister. As is usual with my luck, this tiny piece of plastic was essential to holding the whole damn thing together. Its the clip that holds the canister to its harness. There was literally nothing I could do to fix this. I tried looking online for a replacement canister but they dont seem to have any for this Tineco model. So I did what any American does. I duct-taped it. lol (See pictures.) Now because this plastic piece left a hole in the plastic canister, the suction did suffer. I put a stamp over it (hey it was what I had nearby at the time and fits perfectly lol). So is it a design flaw or just my pure stupidity and negligence? I think a little bit of both. I wish there were more replacement parts. Unfortunately, unless its a big name brand like Hoover or Shark, then your options are limited. So have some duct tape handy.

First, the Tineco a11 is a huge improvement over my corded canister vacuum. (Now retired) A week before it arrived, I vacuumed all my area rugs and hardwood floors. When the Tineco arrived, I charged it up and went right to work. The clear canister showed an abundant amount of dust, hair, and particles left behind. I tried all the accessories; all are easy to attach and work well. The filter cleaner is a well thought out item, and works easy. Some hints: empty the vacuum outside the house if possible into the garbage. You end up with a lot of debris and it’s a bit messy when it falls out. If your mounting the holder on a wall use toggle bolts into the sheetrock, unless you find the wall studs. The unit is a bit heavy with the main body/battery, tube and full-size power brush. The on/off motion could loosen wall anchors. My only criticism (4-star rating) is the battery. This unit comes with only one and they are a bit pricey. I don’t know how many charges to expect. For the price, after research, it’s the best deal.
