  About the Pure One S15 Flex The Pure One S15 Flex is a stick vacuum designed for 3-in-1 use. It can clean hard floors, carpets, and hard to reach areas with its various attachments. It utilizes Tineco’s iLoop Sensory Technology to determine the amount of dirt and adjust the suction to cater to the cleaning effort. Packaging and Contents The outer packaging was standard. It has a cardboard box with an outer display. The interior inserts were interesting as the vacuum components were stacked in 3 trayed layers of individually wrapped pieces. Contents include the main vacuum component, mini power brush, 2-in-1 dusting brush, crevice tool, soft dusting brush, flexible long crevice tool, multi-angle folding tube, flexible extension hose, hair cleaning tool, an extra HEPA filter, a charging base, and instructions. The charging base has places to store some of the attachments while not in use. App There is a Tineco app that you can install from the App Store or Google Play. Unfortunately, the S15 Flex is not listed in the app yet, so I could not add my device within the app. Since I couldn’t access anything I am not sure what the app actually does. Charge The manufacturer says that the battery lasts up to 40 minutes on the Auto setting. When I tried it out, it was just under the 40 minute mark. I had enough time to do the stairs plus one small to medium sized carpeted room. I did notice that Tineco made the battery removable for a quick change out. They only supplied one battery though, so unless you can find a way to buy the second you will need to charge it for 3-4 hours to get a full charge. Suction As I mentioned, it has two settings for suction power; Auto and Max. The Auto increases suction when it detects more dirt. The Max setting is like running at full suction. While this does increase the suction, it does greatly decrease the battery life. The standard suction mode is not a super strong amount of suction. This is just a general observation from applying it to the hand to see what the drawing power is. Considering that this is a stick vacuum, it did a good job cleaning my carpet. It’s not the same as a corded upright. Those are a different class of vacuum that can use more power to complete their task. The S15 did pick up quite a bit of dirt and pet hair. The HEPA filter helped to keep the air clean by not releasing the dust back into the air. Impressions The accessories are really good. This is where the S15 really exceled. The attachments are very useful and they are easy to attach and detach. There’s a variety of tools to help clean for different tasks. The Pure One was really easy to use on stairs. I also believe that this would be good for cleaning out a vehicle. The main power brush has LED lights to illuminate the area that you are cleaning. I did notice that you can’t turn off the brush heads. This is worth mentioning because some rugs cannot be cleaned with brush rollers. The worst thing that I noticed was that the trigger switch is located in a bad spot. I keep accidentally turning on and off the vacuum. The handle is shaped like a gun, and the portion of the handle below the switch is smaller than my hand. Conclusion The Pure One S15 Flex can handle numerous tasks and is well equipped for the variety. It’s right on par with other high-end stick vacuums, and the accessories are great. My biggest complaint is the location of the on/off trigger. I am giving this vacuum 4 stars because it performs well and it is clear that Tineco thought out and emphasized the attachments.

  Looks great, works great, charging is in the stand

  If aesthetics is a top priority this definitely looks good. Also, if you rent and you aren’t wanting to mount anything to the wall (many stick vacuum chargers have wall mounts) then you may absolutely love the solution this vacuum has, it is a decently heavy bottom that sits on the floor and has the charging integrated. So it is free standing and makes charging easy which may be a real win for some people. On the other hand, the only way to charge that I can find is through that stand, so if you don’t have a hard surface to put it on (carpet can be an issue depending on the type of carpet) charging it could be difficult for you. The vacuum itself comes with a ton of attachments including a length of hose, a small vacuum head, and multiple other thin type adapters; for those of you looking for a vacuum that can adapt to just about any situation this is also a good one to look at. This is a pretty decent vacuum as well overall. It especially works great on low to medium length carpet. I found it had a little bit of a hard time with stuff lodged in shaggy carpet rug but it did eventually get the job done once I switched off of auto and onto max. That being said, auto works pretty well for just run of the mill vacuuming and sensing when an area needs a little extra help. The battery life wasn’t an issue at all for me to do all my vacuuming needs, especially with auto sense enabled with switching to max when I didn’t quite agree with what it thought was needed. Overall, I love the number of valuable attachments included, these are perfect for going after the car or other spots that can be hard to reach. I also I love the stand for myself and where I want to store the vacuum. Lastly, I love that it matches our more white interior and that it does it’s job good. Is it replacing our plug-in heavy-duty vacuum, nope, but it means we need to pull that one out less often.

  Great smart vacuum. They pack so much with it. It comes with everything you need to clean your home. They include your typical length vacuum pole, but they also include a short one (if you want to vacuum your sofas for example, or even your car seats), also tons of heads for different cleaning jobs. It includes a battery and a charging station (I love this, you just rest the vacuum on it, and it will start charging, no more having your vacuum tip over!). Putting it together was easy following the included instructions. You can use this vacuum either in smart mode (pairing it with their phone app and Wi-Fi) or not, it’s up to you, it works the same, but the app gives you some advantages, like knowing the life of the hepa filter and when to replace it, setting up cleaning schedules, knowing how long your battery lasted on your last cleaning job, how dirty it was etc. Setting the app was easy too, once they added the new model, you choose it, and it will take you to the steps of doing so. In my case it wanted to scan something with my phone camera, and the screen prompts were in Chinese, so I just chose manual setup and it creates a Wi-Fi hotspot where you connect your phone to it and then come back to the app and it will ask your router’s Wi-Fi credentials, this is done just the first time, after that it connects to it via Wi-Fi any time you open the app. I love the large indicator ring, it will glow red or blue, depending on how dirty or clean your floor is and in the AUTO mode, it will adjust the motor suction speed automatically, based on how dirty or clean your floor is, thus saving battery in the process. I found out that a full battery charge will be enough for my one floor home, but I would guess it would not be enough for a second floor in the same cleaning, so plan on that if you have several floors on your home (or get a spare battery from them). Cleans super well and dumping the debris is super easy and it’s done by pulling a lever down and down the hatch the dirt goes, you don’t even have to touch it.
