This is our verdict of the Tineco PURE ONE S12 based on several hours of research of reviews from both experts and users.

Updated 11-08-2021

The Tineco Pure ONE S12 is one of the high-end cordless vacuums because it offers various advanced functions, such as the iLoop dust sensor and the LED display screen. Those are just a few of its advanced features.

To dig deeper, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 can automatically adjust its suction power. Compared to other cordless vacuums, such as the Dyson V11 Absolute and the Dreame V11, they can adjust suction power depending on the floor type. However, the Tineco Pure ONE S12, adjusts suction power depending on the density of the dirt. So if there is a lot of dirt on the floor, it will automatically increase its suction. This allows the Tineco Pure ONE S12 to provide a thorough and efficient cleaning. It also has a manual mode, hence, you get to choose a lower or higher suction mode. However, the auto mode might be better since it optimizes the battery life because it automatically increases suction on areas where it is only necessary, thus, saving the battery.

Another unique feature of the Tineco Pure ONE S12 is that it has a visual representation of its cleaning progress. It has a colored band around the outer rim of the vacuum’s head which turns red when it detects dirt and turns blue when it has already cleaned the area. It assures you that the Tineco Pure ONE S12 is doing its job and lets you know which areas have clean or dirty floors.

The LED screen of the Tineco Pure ONE S12 is larger compared to its other competitors because the screen dominates the top of the vacuum’s head. It shows you the percentage of the remaining battery, the suction level, WiFi connection, blockages or errors, and the iLoop sensor status. Moreover, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 also has a designated app that shows you the same information that can be seen on the LED screen plus the cleaning history, total dust particles accumulated, and the status of the dustbin. However, you might not find the app very useful for everyday cleaning since it only shows you the status of the Tineco Pure ONE S12.

When turning on the Tineco Pure ONE S12, you must press the trigger switch. You can either constantly press the trigger the entire time like in the Dyson Cyclone V10 or you can enable the lock feature so that you won’t have to press the trigger for a long time. The lock feature is helpful if you are uncomfortable pressing the trigger switch constantly.

You also won’t have to worry about the remaining battery of the Tineco Pure ONE S12 even if you are cleaning a large house because it comes with two batteries. If the battery is already drained while you are still cleaning, you can easily replace it with a fully charged battery so that you can still continue cleaning. You can also charge the two batteries at the same time using its dual charging dock.

The Tineco Pure ONE S12 has several attachments to choose from so that you can choose the right nozzle that applies to what you are cleaning. It has an LED multi-tasker power brush, mini power brush, automatic pre-filter cleaning tool, 2-in-1 dusting brush, soft dusting brush, crevice tool, and flexible long crevice tool. However, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 doesn’t include a soft roller brush. If you have hard floors, you might want to separately buy the soft roller brush which works great on hard floors, or buy the Tineco Pure ONE S12 EX that already comes with a soft roller brush.

Below the nozzle, it is equipped with wheels which make it easier to maneuver and move around your house. There are also LED lights in front of the nozzle that illuminate the area you are cleaning which is helpful especially when you are cleaning in dark corners. However, if for instance you just want to take a quick break, you can’t make the Tineco Pure ONE S12 stand on its own. So you either lay it down or lean it against a wall or furniture.

Compared to other cheaper cordless vacuums, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 has a slightly larger dust bin but for its price. Therefore, you might have to empty the bin frequently if you have a house that is prone to dirt or if you have a heavy shedding pet. Moreover, the bin has a pre-filter located inside the container which might make it challenging when emptying the bin. The pre-filter can cause some dirt to fall out of the bin so you might have to use your hands, which means you may get a bit dirty.

Overall, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 is an all-around cordless vacuum because of its various cleaning attachments and also advanced features. Because of this, its expensive price might be justified and worth it.

With its special features and built-in artificial intelligence, it transitions from traditional and functional to a smart device, making your cleaning quick, easy, and efficient.

It is able to detect dirt to make cleaning highly effective and thorough. It has a suction optimisation that allows it to adjust the suction power, depending on the dirt it detects on your surfaces and thus conserve battery charge. It has smart noise control and a smart app function so you can receive updates, alerts, and other reports while you are doing your cleaning. It has a smart LED display, Wi-Fi connectivity, rinse-free filter cleaning, and more—all designed to make cleaning your home as easy and as effortless as possible.

Battery

The Tineco PURE ONE S12 has a maximum runtime of 50 minutes and charges for 4 hours. Its battery type is Li-ion with a battery voltage of 21.6 volts and a capacity of 2500 mAh.

Cleaning

This cordless 2-in-1 vacuum cleaner has a 0.6-litre dust bin and a maximum suction power of 22 kPa. Its noise level is 71 decibels.

With the help of its built-in iLoop Dust Sensor and its strong suction, it can easily detect and clean dirt, no matter how deeply embedded on your floor, carpet, couches, and more. It can quickly and easily pick up dust, hair, pollen, and other dirt so you can enjoy a hassle-free and effortless cleaning.

It is ultra-quiet and yet incredibly strong in terms of suction power. When in max power mode, the suction power can be up to 6 times greater than ordinary DC motor cordless vacuum cleaners.

The vacuum cleaner works well on both hard floors and low- and medium-pile carpets and will clean these surfaces easily without leaving a trace of dirt. The cleaning head senses the dirt levels and adjusts the suction accordingly.

Functionality

The Tineco PURE ONE S12 is equipped with a Smart Filter Self-Cleaning Tool which can clean your filter automatically and instantly. You no longer need to wait for long or clean even with dirty filters. With the suction power and the filtration system it has, it will give you an uninterrupted cleaning experience. The pre-motor filter is a mesh type while the post-motor filter is a HEPA, capturing 99.9% of particles in the exhaust air and thus avoiding secondary pollution. This makes the vacuum safe to use by anyone, including people with allergies or asthma or any other respiratory system challenges.

It is lightweight and versatile and can easily convert to a handheld for floor-to-ceiling cleaning. It also comes with a floor nozzle with LED lighting so you can easily see even as you clean dark areas.

When it comes to emptying your dust bin, you won’t have any difficulty either as it opens downward at the touch of a button.

It also comes with a dual-charging wall-mounted dock that servers as both a storage and a charger and an extra pre-filter and additional Li-ion battery.

Design

The Tineco PURE ONE S12 has an all-in-one LED display that lets you see various things to ensure your vacuum cleaner is working at optimum capacity. You can see the battery level (displayed in percentage) and if it is connected to Wi-Fi. The LED display also indicates power and what mode you are in, and you can see as well if the brush roller is tangled or if the air channel is blocked. You can monitor the dust loop and it will notify you if there is a malfunction in the dust sensor.

You can also upgrade your cleaning experience by downloading the Tineco app and connecting your vacuum cleaner to it. Through the app, you’ll be able to track your cleaning process, check to see if there are any malfunctions, and get real-time updates and reports while you clean.

With its embedded capacitive touch screen, you can control suction power with just the slide of a finger and switch from auto to manual mode whenever you want.
