Thin out cupboards to show off as much space as you can and remove the current owner’s personality and taste.

There’s no doubt that the Tineco S12 is a stylish vacuum cleaner.We like the sleek white colour scheme and futuristic LED screen, which displays statistics such as the current suction power and remaining battery.

The screen’s outer ring, which lights up red or blue depending on whether the “Auto” mode is increasing or reducing suction (effectively how dirty the patch of floor is,) is also a beautiful touch.. We’re going to be talking a lot about how the Tineco compares to Dyson cordless vacuums in this review, as the Pure One S12 is similarly priced to the.have a built-in screen – you need to pay more for the V11 to get this feature – so this is an area where we think the Tineco is a clear winner.. Like the Dyson stick vacuums, you can detach the S12’s wand to convert it into a handheld vacuum.We always think this is a useful feature that increases the versatility of the vac, which is why it’s become the standard design of most cordless vacuums..

It also has features like an “Auto” suction mode called iLoop, which we’ll discuss in the performance section, and a slider for adjusting suction power.. There’s even built-in Wi-Fi, which allows you to sync the vacuum with the Tineco App.This is really a gimmick, as most of the information is displayed on the LED screen anyway, but the app does make it easier to track when the filter needs to be cleaned..

Unfortunately, the Tineco has a relatively small 0.6 litre dustbin capacity.

This is around 20% smaller than the Dyson V11 Absolute, so you’ll need to empty it more frequently.It’s important to use a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove soiling before it can cause damage.. Hard Floors.

Unlike carpets, hard floors don’t benefit from a rotating brush bar.Brush rolls can scatter debris rather than suck it up and delicate floors may be damaged by stiff bristles.. For these reasons, if you have a lot of hard floors in your home then look for a vacuum either without a brush bar or the option to switch it off.

Some vacuums also come with a dedicated hard floor floorhead, such as the Dyson Soft Roller.. Stairs.Cylinder or cordless vacuum cleaners are typically the best for cleaning stairs..
