Stretch by name, stretch by nature: Tineco’s new wet-dry vacuums are all about reaching into hard-to-get spots. Four models have arrived in Australia, led by the Tineco Floow One S7 Stretch, all of which are designed to lay completely flat while in use.
They follow the brand’s Floor One S9 Artist appliances from earlier in the year, including a high-end steam-cleaning model. Ranging from $599 to $999, Tineco’s latest wet-dry vacs span the entry-level and mid-range gamut.
At the top of the new range, the $999 Tineco Floor One S7 Stretch reaches up to 21,000Pa of suction power, capable of cleaning dry and wet messes. It includes a built-in scraper to reduce tangles of hair and pet fur, so you should hopefully spend less time cleaning the roller brush.
Tineco also advertises a ‘Deluxe’ version exclusive to Harvey Norman. Other than a dark blue colour, it also includes an extra brush roller.
That self-cleaning also extends to a technology Tineco calls “FlashDry”. By pressing a button, this tech uses hot water to clean the appliance’s internals, including the roller, before drying it at 85℃. Tineco rates the S7 Stretch as lasting up to 50 minutes before needing to charge.
Exclusive to Costco, the Floor One S6 Stretch Pro is similar to the S7 model, albeit separated by a cheaper $599 price tag. It seems like the value pick if you have a Costco membership, with only a slightly lower 40-minute runtime and a smaller tank for dust and clean water.
For the same $599 price, Tineco also has the iFloor U5 Stretch. It has a slightly less powerful 20,000Pa suction power, but still has plenty of the self-cleaning tech of the other models.
Here’s how much the new Tineco range costs in Australia:
- Floor One S7 Stretch: $999
- Floor One S7 Stretch Deluxe: $999
- iFloor U5 Stretch: $599
- Floor One S6 Stretch Pro: $599
