TinecoA30S Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, 160W Suction, 60Min Runtime, 1L Larger Dustbin, ZeroTangle Brush, PureCyclone Tech, LED Headlight, White

Tineco A30s stick vacuum is performing as specified. Like the easy handling and light weight. Bought specifically to use for quick clean ups on my hardwood floors, so I don't have to drag out my Electrolux cannister vac. What I do not like is AMAZON. This item was advertised at $229.00 on the day I ordered it. A day or two later, when I checked the ship date, the same product was advertised at $169 on sale. My order had not even shipped yet. Called Amazon for a credit of the difference $63.60. TT Roman who said he would take care of. He did not. Called back 19 days later when no credit appeared on my cc statement and talked to Snaha, she found no record of a credit and I asked to have it escalated to a supervisor- TT James. He said I had to repackage the vacuum, schlepp it to the ups store, have Amazon issue a full credit, then reorder the item at the sale price. Mind you, the sale had already ended. What a load of horse manure. This is just one more reason why I will not be ordering from Amazon in the future. I contacted Tineco-the manufacturer, they were wonderful!!!!!!!! Immediately checked into the transaction price and said they would issue a refund for the difference in regular and sale pricing. Amazon is becoming more and more difficult and dishonest. Luckily, there are many other vendors from which to choose to do business with in the future. Amazon will not be on my list.

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 friend's 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 friend's 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 I'm 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 haven't 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.

Good battery life. We can sweep the entire 1500 sq ft house on a single charge. Easy to hang up to charge and store. Edge cleaning is not very good. Our initial impression was that it was heavy, but we realized that it was the weight of the battery, and today we don't even notice it. Picks up animal hair, cat litter, and the normal junk that ends up on your floors just fine on the lowest setting. Good at getting under furniture because it lies down so flat. This would be a 5-star review except for the edge cleaning.

I love this vacuum. It is so light and moves around corners with ease. If I need to reach a hard to vacuum corner it is so easy to remove the floor attachment and use the hand held vacuum. I have a bad back and sweeping with a broom and dust pan was so hard. Now I vacuum often without any discomfort.
