Tineco A11 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight with Anti-Tangle Brush Powerful Handheld Vacuum for Hard Floor, Carpet and Pet

Cleans carpet and floors very good!

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.

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.

This thing has so much suction and is so quiet I thought there was something wrong with it on high power vacuuming my carpet, it literally sticks to the floor. Our area rugs look absolutely amazing and the amount of hair and dust particles that came up were absolutely unbelievable. This is after using our Shark Vacuum that recently crapped out and clogged with hair EVERY SINGE TIME. The tineco a11 pet ex works best on setting 1 or 2 on carpet, 3 on hard floors and 3 to deep clean the carpet but takes a little more effort. Great accessories, second battery is a must!! If you want something quick and light with big power for half the price of a dyson this is it. If you want to spend $500-$600 get the tineco s15 pet ex. If youre completely insane get the newest dyson.

Very easy to use. Good for quick pick ups but nothing more.

It’s a decent vacuum. Battery life is subpar, suction isn’t the best. I’m coming from a Dyson to a what I thought was a good dupe from hear say and ehhh. Battery life is about the same. Suction is half of a Dyson. The vacuum is good if you’ve never experienced a Dyson. I would buy again buy definitely not to the standards that the reviews say.

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 had Dyson before but the battery wasn’t charging as much, I purchased this one and after 3 hours it was charged. I used it about 15 minutes on high.. I was happy with results! I feel like it suction better than my expensive Dyson. I used it only once but I like it.

Has a nice suction, vacuum itself feels weak, low grade material.

10/10 Love this vaccuum! We had a Dyson before this for 10 years that needed parts replaced, so decided to try out Tineco. Love that it’s battery charged. It has enough power to vacuum our 3 bed/2 bath home with both carpet and wood floors. I have also used the attachments to spot clean, vacuum the couch and also the car. It is light weight and quieter than our Dyson was. I was actually on the phone yesterday with my husband and we were able to have an entire conversation while he was vacuuming. Highly recommend!
