Review of the Tineco Pure One S12: Alexa control, accessories, and power

A highly unique cordless cyclonic vacuum is the Tineco Puro Uno S12. The fact that “intelligent” can be defined is due to the enormous number of accessories included in the package and the fact that it is the first example of its kind.

For this, the company, first and foremost, has continued the evolution of its cordless vacuum cleaners, focusing primarily on two features that make the latest addition to the range, namely the Tineco Pure One S12, undeniably “smarter” than all its hundreds of competitors: first and foremost, it can recognize the material it is vacuuming and independently adjust the power, and secondly, the Tineco Puro Uno S12 is the first wireless cyclonic vacuum cleaner.

But is this how “intelligence” is meant to work in such a product? Or is it preferable to emphasize the caliber of cleaning? But don’t stress about yours. Tenneco’s latest vacuum does it well with 145 AW of power. However, first things first.

Tineco Pure One S12 review: powerful, intelligent, and controlled via an app

Tineco has made strides in both product design and packaging in recent years. The Tineco Puro Uno S12’s packaging is decorated with vibrant images, and within are several cleaning supplies.

Inside the Tineco Pure One S12 package, you will find:

• Cyclone vacuum cleaner
• Plastic tube
• motorized hard brush
• mini motorized anti-mite brush
• crevice nozzle
• 2-in-1 brush nozzle
• wall charging bracket
• filter cleaning adapter
• drums
• charger
• manuals.

Design and components

The Tineco Puro Uno S12’s design is unmistakably distinct from that of the Tineco A11 Master and Tineco A10 Héroe. Since the other two cyclonic vacuum cleaners had an old-fashioned “I don’t know what” appearance, the Uno Puro S12 represents a more contemporary direction for the manufacturer.

The vacuum cleaner’s complete body is constructed of white polycarbonate, black inlays visible in both the central unit and the plastic tube, and an almost gray hue due to sand painting. The concept of painting the motorized brush’s rollers black is also a great one because it would make them appear less dirty after prolonged usage. However, I wish Tineco had chosen a metal tube rather than concentrating on plastic.

The joints and release buttons make it extremely easy to put the Tineco Puro Uno S12 together with all the attachments. The HEPA filter may be washed, which is as simple as unscrewing all the internal components to clean the container. The firm advises waiting at least 24 hours after washing before putting them back in place. Always remember to make sure they are dehydrated before usage. But unlike most devices on the market, this model uses a 4-stage HEPA filter instead of a 3-stage one.

The Tineco Puro Uno S12 continues to have the highly comfortable pistol grip, which is meant to be more comfortable than many rival products and to make it simple to operate with one hand, even if the design is a little different from all the other vacuum cleaners of the brand. The vacuum cleaner’s relatively lightweight and rotation of the motorized brush, which also incorporates LEDs to illuminate the area it is cleaning, make it always convenient.

The Tineco Puro Uno S12 has yet another characteristic that sets it apart from other models. Some cyclone vacuum cleaners have pretty small screens, but the one on the new model from the firm is considerably bigger, round, takes up most of the top, and gives the user a lot of helpful information. Unfortunately, the remaining battery charge is only displayed on the LCD as a percentage while the vacuum cleaner is in use. Tineco should have also considered indicating the remaining suction time.

The suction power is controlled by a tactile surface located in the upper part of the seam that also integrates an “auto” button, which will activate the detection of the material and the automatic management of the suction power. The ring surrounding the screen also changes color depending on the amount of residual dirt (it is red when the house is still dirty, while it turns blue when it is clean).

The standard trigger style must only be depressed to begin the suction process. Still, a mechanical switch is specifically designed to provide the “Hold” capability, allowing you to suction without needing to hold the trigger down constantly.

In addition, I average the wall adapter, which has a charging port for a second battery that is absent from the packaging in the test version. Additionally, I would have wanted to see the addition of second brush support that could have been attached to the suction tube or another fixed support so that it was always accessible when cleaning.

On the other hand, the dirt container is always the standard 0.6L and has the customary downward opening. The capacity is good, however, to avoid getting dirt on the hands when cleaning, it will be required to learn how to use it deftly.

Power and use of the suction

A 5000w brushless motor capable of delivering 145 Aw of suction power powers the Tineco Puro Uno S12. However, the administration of the suction modes changes, which can be controlled using the touch surface, allowing a far more accurate and adjustable power adjustment, as opposed to being handled according to the three conventional presets. However, I believe utilizing the “Auto” option is always preferable since the iLoop AI system is highly effective and can change the power based on the quantity of dust it detects.

The noise level is also quite good, and it ranges from 65.3 dB to 71.9 dB, which is not terrible given the nominal power of the vacuum cleaner’s motor and considerably lower than other models of the same kind.

The Tineco Puro Uno S12 is a cyclonic vacuum capable of cleaning nearly all surfaces without difficulty, from ceramics to parquet, from sofas to carpets, there rarely will be a suction issue. Although I had to vacuum many times in our standard coffee test to get the residue left between the gaskets out, you do a terrific job on even the toughest filth.

One mobility, as I mentioned, is made possible by the motorized brush’s movement, which “lightens” the cleaning process. But because the motorized brush has a set angle that calls for a rather vigorous rotation of the entire suction unit, it will be required to get used to the “curves.”

The typical anti-mite brush, which is smaller and ideal for sofas and beds, is included in the package. There is also a rigid rectangular nozzle with which you can vacuum, for instance, cobwebs (which also incorporates a small extendable brush), and another brush accessory that will be very useful for removing dust from furniture and smaller surfaces. It won’t be the model on the market with the most attachments, but it is essentially appropriate for any purpose.

Application for Tineco

One of the few wireless cyclonic vacuum cleaners with Wi-Fi is the Tineco Puro Uno S12. And it is fairly obvious that the vacuum cleaner and the Tineco app, available for iOS and Android, are connected through a wireless connection.

To be honest, I think the concept is unnecessary. Do not misunderstand; the software allows you to regulate it. The level of deterioration on all internal vacuum cleaner parts is fantastic. Still, I have a lot of knowledge regarding the application that you will employ at first before fading into obscurity. However, using the adapter that comes with the product, you can also use the app to check for obstructions or malfunctions and determine when it’s time to clean the filter.

It is also possible to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness, but Tineco chose to employ a measuring technique that is largely ineffective and yields information that has little practical value. Everything is expressed in “dust per minute,” and, to be honest, I have no clue what that means.

The digital assistant Alexa has a talent that allows you to ask for a variety of information about the vacuum cleaner, such as the battery’s remaining charge or the history of cleaning for the day or week. This skill is one of the smart features available.

Tineco Pure One S12’s battery life

The battery has always been the cordless cyclone vacuum cleaner’s true weak point. This is true with the Tineco Puro Uno S12, the company’s most recent offering. It has a 2500 mAh battery that can provide average autonomy.

You receive roughly 10 minutes of autonomy while using the vacuum cleaner at full power; if you use it at minimal power, you get 50 minutes. A good charge will take roughly 3 hours to complete the journey from 0% to 100%.

Cost and factors – Tineco Pure One S12

The Tineco Puro Uno S12 has a list price of 459 euros, but for a limited time, Amazon is offering the vacuum cleaner for just 344.25 euros. If you’re interested in purchasing one, act quickly. Additionally, the price is generally more than reasonable, especially considering the suction power, the accessories that come with it, and the sizable screen that completely transforms the vacuum cleaner’s operating scheme.

Even if, in my opinion, there will be few people who use it, the sophisticated dirt-recognition technology is effective, and the app may be helpful to all control freaks. Unfortunately, the firm chose to utilize a plastic tube since, at this price point, it may be considered “too small” when metal ought to be the industry standard.
