I suggest getting an extra battery. I go through 2 cleaning. I don’t recommend for carpet, I just doesn’t feel like it is able to really get a good suction. On wood, laminate etc it works just fine. I find it a step up from a swiffer vac.

After watching vacuum wars and a few other videos I found this beauty. It has saved me so much time and effort and it was on budget. Its also saved my back. Also, the A10s filtration prevented me from the allergies I would expect using other vacuums. Super maneuverable and amazing suction power. The attachments get to hard to reach places and the vacuum itself is super lightweight and quiet. I love it!

It doesn’t pick up things that are bigger then like a tictak. It’s more for just small specs of dirt or hair. Just pushes other stuff around

I wanted to try a stick vacuum to see if the floors would get cleaned more often if we did not have to lug out the heavy, plug-in vacuum. I did the research, interviewed family members to see what features would encourage them to vacuum more, tried out my friends Shark IonFlex, and settled on getting the Tineco A10 Hero. If it were just me, I probably would have gotten a corded stick as you can get a more powerful vacuum for less money without the concern that the battery runs out too soon, and when the battery eventually dies out completely it will either be an expensive replacement or perhaps not available at all. But other family members seemed to think that if there was no cord they might vacuum more often, so to me that was worth taking a chance on battery-power and spending the extra money. The miracle where other family members vacuum more often did not happen (I think each of them tried it once, and that was it), but I am still super impressed with this machine. First thing I noticed, it is very light: it is 2.9 lbs vs the other models I was considering that were 7 to 14 lbs. It also has a 350 watt motor - others in this price range were 180w-300w. I would have liked a self-cleaning brush roll, but my friends Shark IonFlex has this and she says she still gets hair wrapped around the brush roll anyway. The other thing I would have liked would have been a larger dust compartment, but in this price range all of the dust compartments are about this size if not smaller. The Tineco A10 Spartan is the same machine which is cheaper and has the same features as the A10 Hero but fewer attachments. What sold me on the Hero was the Pre Filter Cleaning Tool and extra Pre Filter (which may only come with the wall-mount version) - this is what makes all the difference! When the vacuum is feeling sluggish and not picking up as much stuff as it used to (and this could happen within 10 minutes, before the battery charge even gives out), first empty the dust bin. If it is still a little sluggish, then I remove the pre filter (which is inside the dust bin and easy to remove), swap it out with the spare and clean the pre filter I just took out so it is ready to go for next time. After doing this, the machine is as good as new. The easy maintenance routine is what I like the best. I probably end up changing and cleaning the pre filter about every 3 times I use the vacuum, and while Im at it I use a nickel to open the roll brush compartment and clean all the hairs wrapped around it (there is a hook tool included to do this also). Not something that I had to do as often with the corded, full size vacuum, but it is so easy to do with the Hero that it is still more convenient than dragging out the old behemoth. I have not yet run out of battery when I am vacuuming because it is so easy to take out for quick jobs that I do one room at a time and am done before the battery runs out. I have wood floors with oriental or low pile carpets - regular power does a great job on these so I do not really use the Max Power setting. I received no compensation for this review - I am just a really happy customer. --- Update: 2.5 months later and I havent used the old, plug-in vacuum at all --- Update: 2 years later - Still very happy with this vacuum! After using for 2 years, I still agree with my original review: love the easy self cleaning (still using the original 2 Pre Filters and it runs like new after they are cleaned with the included tool), but wish it had a larger dust bin because it will fill up quickly and usually needs to be emptied before I am done with a room (I have a cat and 3 people with long hair in the house). The suction is not as good as a plug in, so I have used the Max setting when more suction power is needed. The battery still outlasts my usual 15-20 minute vacuuming sessions (on regular power). Only once I went on an extended cleaning streak and depleted the battery - do not remember how long that took, but it was enough to clean up 3 rooms pretty well. Bottom line: still performing great after 2 years of use, makes cleaning easy, but if you need high powered suction then you probably will want a corded vacuum of some kind.

Loved this thing at first- so easy to maneuver and love the wall hook and attachments. But I’ve had it for 6 months in homes with multiple pets and people with long hair. I had to continually disassemble, clean and reassemble the thing. And eventually the filters started acting like they needed to be replaced too early in my opinion. Ended up ordering a Dyson I’ve wanted for years and keep buying cheaper “alternatives” for.

This vacuum cleaner is only good for light, dust, and very small debris on the floor. It is not very powerful and the trigger always starts on the weakest setting. I wouldn’t recommend this vacuum to anyone, even if you are cleaning hard surfaces only.

EDITED a month after purchase: I still love this thing for what it is. It is so easy to use. The power head will swivel at least 90 degrees by just twisting the handle to one side or the other. It gets under furniture easily. All vacs are a pain to clean, but this one is the least pain Ive suffered that way :-) I clean it once a week. I pull out the primary filter every time I empty the vac. Tap it against the inside of the trash can. I have yet to have to clean the HEPA filter. Its as bright and shiny as it was when the vac was new. Kitty litter thats on carpet or in a crevice needs the MAX button pushed, but its gone after a few seconds of that. On MAX, it will finish the battery off pretty quickly. Once a week I MAX all the carpet I can -- quickly. Otherwise, the daily use only needs the normal setting. This is the first vac of any kind Ive used that I would say is a pleasure to use. Why? It does its job quickly, doesnt fight me to move it around, makes it easy to dump the receptacle quickly and charges when I put it away for the next day. EDITED to match the number of the photos as Amazon put them below. Photo 6 is pet and human hair picked up using the normal setting (not Max) from rugs/carpet that had been vacuumed with a real vacuum a day before! This thing is amazing. The down side is I had to empty the small cup a lot, but its easy to do. Photo 4 shows the roller brushes after gathering the hair mentioned above. I took the roller out to clean it, but after cleaning it I vacuumed some more and decided it was easy enough just to pick the hair off the roller without removing it. Photo 1 is the vacuum roller removed. Just turn the coin slot on the small end cap (counter clockwise less than 1/4 turn) and lift it off. Then the roller comes out pulling up the removed cap end. Putting it back in, the end in photo 2 goes away from the removed end cap, and the other end (photo 3) slides in with the circular side down. Replace the end cap and twist the coin slot clockwise. Photo 5 shows the dirt, dust and other particles that were picked up. No, it didnt pick up the egg carton :-) After vacuuming, the battery still had 2 out of 3 lights lit. Id say it will easily make the 30 minutes they advertise. The vacuum is a joy to use. It gets to places other vacs wont fit. The LED lights come in handy in darker areas. The docking station is just ok. I was expecting to put the vac in the station and charging would commence. It doesnt work that way. You have to plug the charger into the vac. Regarding the battery life five star rating, I gave that since I am pretty sure Tinecos 30 minute battery life is true. If any of the above changes with further use, I will edit this glowing report. The instructions leave a bit to the imagination, but multiple readings can help in understanding. You can remove the battery from the vac, put it in the top tray of the docking station and plug the charger directly into it. I havent tried that, but Im pretty sure it would work. Six of one, half a dozen of the other :-)

I originally got this for hard wood floors. The suction isnt wonderful and it definitely does not work on carpet very well for the price I thought it would be a little better. Was really excited for this. But does what it needs to do for my hard wood floors.

I received this yesterday afternoon and have been waiting over 2 weeks to get it. I chose this over many other available options because I also own their Cordless Mop/Vacuum. That being said, I was expecting a high quality made product for the price point (which is on par with Dyson and others). What I got was a well designed esthetically pleasing look, but thats basically is it. Aside from the look, the trash bin as well as all other parts were very poorly made. the canister itself feels like a thicker plastic from Dixie cups, the unit while is light, cannot stand on its own nor does it fold. Now to the meat of why disappointing... 1st, the suction is awful! It feels like my daughters toy vacuum has more suction power, the batteries look nice, but does not have direct charge capability( must be mounted to the wall hanging port). The units will not operate on high mode for more than 20-30 seconds), it cuts off for some reason. It will not pick up cereal or chips like Cheetos or anything that size ( yes, even broken pieces). I will be returning this today and getting another brand, but very disappointed with this purchase. Wasted time waiting for it only to get a subpar and poorly made item. This is a no go for me.

Researched several cordless vacuums before purchasing. Tineco has not disappointed. Great cordless vacuum!
