Just had my price tracker go off. ATL

Been looking awhile at this since black Friday. Couldn't pull the trigger. This one is now ATL now so grabbed one. One day prime deal.

Hopefully this corded steam deep cleans compared to my roborock s7maxV.

Been using the roborock with tile cleaner solution from bunnings. But on matte tiles need something stronger every once in awhile.

Supposedly best in class on vacuum wars, as corded beats non corded.

      Yes, it works on laminate flooring.

      • BzBee on 13/01/2025 - 11:31

        Can you turn off the steam function if needed?

        • marshmall0w2 on 13/01/2025 - 11:45
          +3

          By default, steam function is off already. You turn it on when needed. Takes about a minute to start steaming.

      I have the S7+ Steam (Basically the cordless version of this), works great on our Hybrid so should be the same. Recommendation is to NOT use the steam function though as the heat (and to a lesser extent moisture) can cause the adhesive to fail and the corners to lift.

      Battery vacuums are convenient, but you can't draw 2000w from an 18v battery.

      • marshmall0w2 on 13/01/2025 - 09:47

        Lol then why did Tineco remove the option from the S6 onward (S7) and only have cordless?

        • mito on 13/01/2025 - 10:18
          +8

          Because you can sell more vacuums when the battery dies in 2 years

        • marcozmitch on 13/01/2025 - 13:18

          important tip: a little added chemical will keep the waste water from going foul and you must clean (with Spray and Wipe) and allow to dry the waste water container, rollers and dirty bits after use.
          Because the majority of the market is "cordless" like the stick vacuums etc.
          So to be like the market, they have to offer a similar product.
          I made a point of buying the S5 steam, because of the strong steam function, being available.
          Generally, the Tineco are well designed. From a "chemical use" point of view, these type of cleaners can use plain water, with no chemicals.
          I do like the use of cleaning chemicals and add a small amount to the water.
          You can even just add vinegar to the water.

        Sure you can - just need to run a 100 amp + interface. Not the most practical, or easy to engineer regarding heat. But you certainly can do it, see Hilti Nuron powertools, they run 22v 100a setups for (up to) 2200w or basically a powerpoint.

        • macrocephalic on 13/01/2025 - 10:26

          Sure, you can get lots of amps if you wire enough batteries in parallel - but I was more talking about common packs of 18650's like every standard battery device.

            @bboz: Saying you can, or cannot do something is binary. No implication of ease or simplicity.

            A blanket statement saying you cannot do something, when there are literally products on the market that do, is factually false.

      yeah once i get it ill report back.

      Just manual mopped my floor with sugar soap the other day. The tiles went from beige travertine back to OEM white. Just as good a using a gerni I reckon. ( I have inside/outside tiles)

      I'm hoping this steam one cleans just as well.

      Looking for recommendation too, especially for robot vaccums

      • Davesday on 13/01/2025 - 12:33

        I am looking at this. Reviews indicate it could be used on robot vacuums too.

        • Kibbelhs on 13/01/2025 - 14:10

          According to Tineco's FAQ page for this product:

          Q: Can we use cleaning solution on this product?
          A: No, the steam is incompatible with any cleaning solution.

          • Davesday on 13/01/2025 - 17:34

            @Kibbelhs: I read that the steam function might create fumes from the cleaning solution which may not be good. However some have 'worked' around the issue by deactivating the steam function when using cleaning solution.

            I'll just stick to what the manual says. There seems to be enough positive reviews using just water.

            • Kibbelhs on 13/01/2025 - 22:44

              @Davesday: I've found that for some older stains, it ranges from takes a few passes to using elbow grease. So this machine isn't a be-all and end-all. It lacks the physical agitation you require, like a mop.

    • Kibbelhs on 13/01/2025 - 10:52

      Afaik, you're not supposed to use cleaning solutions with this machine. I only use water.

    • fatgypo on 13/01/2025 - 11:01

      This is a water only machine. I have this and the steam makes a big difference. If you do want to use something on a small area, you can spray it with a cleaner.

      • Davesday on 13/01/2025 - 12:32

        Not even Tineco's own cleaning solution that is marketed for its own products including the S5 series?

        • fatgypo on 13/01/2025 - 14:29
          +1

          Even tineco solution. It explicitly states only water, even on the actual machine

    • plachhani on 13/01/2025 - 14:05

      We have the Roborock Qrevo max something and put a cap full of Amonia in the clean water. It helps with Matt tiles. See if that helps? Otherwise the Tineco Floor solution is good.

  • Bilam on 13/01/2025 - 09:06

    Can these be used on engineered timber?

    • boretentsu on 13/01/2025 - 09:12

      I'm using this on engineered timber floors. No issues so far.

    • marshmall0w2 on 13/01/2025 - 09:41

      Not recommended for engineered timber because the real wood layer can split (think J-shape from the other layer) due to wetting, heating, and disturbance. Core-tex and hybrid are ok.

      Real hardwood timber is even better than engineered especially when you seal it properly because there's no splitting from the other layers.

      • boretentsu on 13/01/2025 - 14:30

        Thanks for this explanation. Something to consider continued use.

    • SanguinarySeraph on 13/01/2025 - 10:19

      Recommendation is to only use the steam function on tile or polished concrete, sans steam though, absolutely, works on timber, laminate, hybrid etc.

  • richmond12 on 13/01/2025 - 09:13

    Corded despite being a bit better is definitely a huge inconvenience when spot cleaning

    • SanguinarySeraph on 13/01/2025 - 10:21
      +2

      I won't say you "can't" use this for spot cleaning, but there is a not insignificant self-cleaning cycle/process once you're done which definitely leans toward doing a full clean, or not at all.

  • hooray on 13/01/2025 - 09:14

    I have one from last sale. I really like it. Large house mostly tiles
    .I bought this one because of the steam function which i use mostly.

    Often i shuffle along with a scourer under foot to get the bits that the mop doesn't.
    The self cleaning function really works.
    I'm interested to see how long the roller works seein as a spare is included

  • Dsiee on 13/01/2025 - 09:18

    The description says its for 120v power in one of the pictures so be careful that it actually has an Australian plug and suits our 240v power.

      It does.

  • boretentsu on 13/01/2025 - 09:19

    Bought this on prime day for $20 more. Happy with it so far. My personal method is to overlap and go at a reasonable pace and the previous karcher cordless couldn't do the full home in one go and only managed maybe 60-70sqm on one charge after about a year of use so I switched to this one.

    Yes corded is less convenient but I personally found it more frustrating to have to recharge for a few hours to finish the job. The bonus with corded is that you get steam function if that matters to you but I personally don't care whether I use steam or use a cleaner additive.

  • SuperMid on 13/01/2025 - 09:22

    Just stick with dyson & bissell, all these other vacuums look good on paper but just dont match their quality in the real world.

    • macrocephalic on 13/01/2025 - 09:29

      Do you have any recommendations on which Bissel to get for both carpet and upholstery?

      • SuperMid on 13/01/2025 - 10:10
        +1

        Everyones home is different, depending on if you wear shoes in the house, how many kids/pets you have etc.

        I have wooden floorboards and use the "bissell powerfresh steam mop" and it works great. I watched a few reviews and the it works better than the other mops that have the spinning/rotating mop heads.

        I also have 2 cats who occasionally throw up on the floor boards, occasionally on the carpeted areas. So for this i bought the carpet washing/steam cleaner vacuums. The one i bought came with a hand held attachment if you wanted to do your couch/car. Its crazy loud but i would say its even better than those rental units you get from coles/bunnings.

        Dunno how to do short url links, but see examples below:

        steam mop:
        https://www.harveynorman.com.au/bissell-powerfresh-sanitiser…

        carpet cleaner:
        https://www.harveynorman.com.au/bissell-proheat-2x-revolutio…

        Even though i vacuum very regurarly with both a robot vacuum and dyson stick vacuume, when i use the bissell carpet cleaner, its crazy how much dust/hair it pulls out from my carpets. I dont wear shoes in the house either.

        • macrocephalic on 13/01/2025 - 10:19

          Thanks. Our son gets allergies to dust mites, so we need to regularly get all the carpets and upholstery cleaned and I was looking at which one system I should get.

          • SuperMid on 13/01/2025 - 11:07

            @macrocephalic: Definitely get the bissell. Being ozbargain most users here will only purchase whats cheap and not pay extra for something that actually works well, hence people negging my post.

              +1

              @SuperMid: I think you’re being negged because you’re speaking from your experience only. Which is valid, but there are just as many horror stories and issues with both of those brands you have mentioned. It’s not a reason to write off the Tineco. In fact these machines are their speciality.

              EDIT: As seen in the comments below.

    • glennd on 13/01/2025 - 09:31

      Whilst their spot cleaners are great the bissell steam mop left our floors streaky. Maybe more suited to smaller houses.

    • LeonDB on 13/01/2025 - 10:17

      I don't know. I have the dyson submarine and it is useless (the vac function is great though). After using it a few times I switched back to manual mopping. Got this Tineco model in the boxing day sales a couple of weeks ago and it is great. Can't comment on the longevity of it yet but the floors are spotless after using it.

    • SanguinarySeraph on 13/01/2025 - 10:24

      The Dyson equivalent WashG1 is notoriously terrible. Plenty of 1st gen issues where they just haven't been in the market long enough. Give it a few years and I'm sure the Dyson will be competitive, but right now, not even close with the Tineco.

  • cristo66 on 13/01/2025 - 09:54

    I’ve got this. The cord is slightly annoying but it cleans really well just using water especially on tiles using steam. 2 little kids and a dog so roborock s7 alone is not able to keep floors clean. I don’t use full steam on my timber (jarrah) floors really. The edge of the mop leaves about a 2cm gap. It means you have to manually clean along the walls everywhere if you want the floors perfect… I wonder if this is fixed in the newer cordless models? This aside, great product.

  • WastedWombat on 13/01/2025 - 10:00

    Got this one from the last deal - can also highly recommend.

    Easy to use, cleans very well (I'm using on hybrid flooring and works great), cord is pretty long and self cleaning cycle at the end works well.

    The only thing to keep in mind that it is pretty heavy.

  • cheapskate101 on 13/01/2025 - 10:02

    Shit! Bought it for $409 for Black Friday! Got ripped off 2¢! It's a very good product though. Even used it on the balcony with to nearby tap or drainage. Sucks up all the soapy water I used for initial scrubbing.

  • go2force on 13/01/2025 - 10:06

    Had this before, it's pretty good but tried my friend's Dreame H12 Pro and it's so much better.

    • valiwa on 13/01/2025 - 11:38

      Yeah deciding between the two - what part of the Dreame is better?

      • go2force on 13/01/2025 - 11:54

        Water in tank lasts much much longer without compromising the cleaning performance + Mop is closer to the floor so cleans better + Plus auto dries the mop. For almost same price, I'd pick Dreame anyday.

      • marshmall0w2 on 13/01/2025 - 11:57

        Dreame H12 Pro for just $99 more is definitely better than the Tineco S5. Dreame H12 Pro has double-edge cleaning, which is something found on the Tineco S6 onwards, and has less clearance requirement (found on the S6 Stretch). Essentially, Dreame H12 Pro feels like an S6 Stretch for almost the price of a Tineco S5.

          Its not directly comparable as the Tineco can steam but Dreame doesn't.

          Tineco doesn't require consumables but dreame will require ongoing consumables for the cleaning solution.

                    @cmoddoo: I mean the cleaning solution is optional for the S6 and H12 Pro anyway. You can just put water or vinegar. It's just for added cutting power.

    Bought this 19 months ago, can confirm it's a good product. Easy to use, easy to service. It really helped out to keep my timber floor clean by making mopping a fairly easy job. I had hesitations between corded and cordless, and ended up choosing the corded one. Reason? I'm an FPV hobbyist and I use high discharge Lipos on a daily basis. I know how high-current discharge damages the battery. Speaking of which, the built-in steam function works pretty nicely.

      Works really well with high gloss. We have the s7 steam and its incredible. We run it on steam mode and then wipe away any excess water with a cloth after, takes a while to get used to the excess steam.
