Tineco - Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Deep Cleaner - Blue

Absolutely LOVE this thing! We were recently puppy sitting for a friend and had the dreaded dog doo mishap with our Roomba...this cleaner came in so handy. It is simple to set up, and I was surprised to see that two bottles of cleaning solution were included. Just with one pass over our carpet it was crazy to see how much it cleaned up. I did a few passes and had to empty the water in between, but it was super simple. Once I was done, every piece of the machine is so easy to take apart and disinfect which I was thankful for (pictures below). I can't wait to use the hose attachment on the stairs!

quick and easy to setup! very light and easy to maneuver. We've been looking for a carpet cleaner since finishing our basement with carpet, the dog brings in dirt from outside and this is amazing to quickly cleanup the mess! Also love for our rugs, especially our lighter colored rug on that patio that gets extra dirt. would highly recommend!

Absolutely a yes! I have had every shampoo are known to man. This is the first time that I’ve bought this brand and 100% worth every single penny. It cleaned my carpet to the t and my carpet was dried in 15 min. It’s back to it’s fluffy stage and very clean!!!

This made sure my carpet was less gross. I have been needing a carpet cleaner for a long time, I have roommates and dogs. This is a great addition to my house cleaning. I had been just vacuuming for a long time, and my rugs were starting to show it. This is not lightweight, it is heavy and heavy duty. Setup is pretty simple, If you download the app it will show you step by step what to do. My first try I did have some technical issues. The dirty water tank (DWT) kept having an error. I did have to contact the company. There is a float sensor in the DWT that had gotten stuck and they had to show me how to fix it. It is a super easy fix, but I have included a picture that may help you if you have the problem I did. When you turn this on the first time, it is loud just a heads up. When you go forward it cleans, and you pull back it sucks and dries the carpet. You will need to put in some arm work to do this. A powered wheel would have been great, but there is not one advertised so I will not take away a star. But do move slowly forward and back to make sure you clean. I only cleaned a small part of 1 rug, and the DWT water was super gross. I know this will take some time. The carpet was still damp, so I did turn a fan on to help dry the rug. I can see and feel the difference in the part of the rug I did clean and the parts I have not. There are several features I have not explored, and I have not gotten to all of the app yet.

I have used a few carpet cleaners in the past and needed something that could stand up to carpet that has had some miles on it. Revived the threads and extracted the dirt. Biggest headache with carpet cleaners is the length of time it takes for the carpet to dry. The Carpet One Complete gets the right amount of water down, without soaking for a quick dry time. Tineco does it again!

Tineco is a new brand to me as I have never heard of them. With the opportunity to try out the Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, I was slightly skeptical of what I should expect out of this machine given I have never heard of the brand nor used one in a consumer grade fashion. Well, I am happy to say I am satisfied in all aspects of the device! In the Box: Easy to Assemble - Carpet One Cleaner (Comes in about 4 main pieces that snap together) - Manual - 2 Bottles of Cleaning Solution - Some cleaning/tool attachments Setup/Usage: Vacuum First, Start Cleaning The app setup is fairly simple. Download the Tineco Life app and follow the setup instructions. This does include scanning the barcode on the unit itself which helps identify your machine and connecting to Wi-Fi. After this is complete, you can update the firmware, download additional animations, keep track of your runtime for cleaning, and adjust a couple small settings including the annoying voice (Which I could not get to turn off despite it being muted in the app?). Once setup, grab the water container and pour two capfuls of the solution into it and fill the rest with warm water. Snap the tank back into the unit and make sure the dirty water tank is snapped on as well and you are ready to go. The settings you have available for cleaning are: Auto, Max, and Dry. Auto: “Automatically adjusts suction power and water volume needed to clean” Max: “Professional-grade cleaning to remove deep-down embedded stains, dirt, and odors. Great for cleaning high-traffic areas” Dry Mode: “Powerfully extracts water residue from the carpet while releasing steady hot air” I used all three of these settings for cleaning two type of carpet in our home. I would HIGHLY recommend vacuuming PRIOR to using this cleaner if you have any pets. We are religious about vacuuming at least once a week in our home with a nice Shark vacuum and I am shocked (but also not surprised) at the amount of hard that the carpet cleaner pulled up even still. I only had one stain that I could test this unit/cleaner on and it worked well but I did not expect it to be able to remove the stain fully. It did about what I expected that it could which was remove about 50% of it. The water tank is fairly small. On max mode (100% water spray), I was able to do about a 15x15 square (150ish square feet) before the tank ran out. It’s actually a perfect time to stop because at this point you’ll be pushing around balls of hair so cleaning the removable cover to free all the hair inside is a good idea. On Auto mode, most of the time the machine ran on 20-40% water spray as the sensor did not detect much dirt. This is expected as we don’t wear shoes inside and vacuum every week. The water tank will get more runtime before running out but not a much. Again, the amount of hair is substantial. I tested the dry mode by leaving a small section just as it was after cleaning vs running the machine over the carpet in dry mode. It definitely decreases the dry time required by hours if you use the dry mode after cleaning. I let every section of carpet to dry overnight before putting furniture back on it and it was fully dry by morning (Cleaned in evening prior). The dirty water tank doesn’t need to be emptied after every clean water tank (although I did just to see what parts of the house were more dirty) but the average color was a milky shade. It was only a tiny bit brown in heavy traffic areas (hallways) but otherwise it was dirty but like something you would see from mud, dirt, or stains. I tried the wand on a small section of carpet and it seems like a handy tool for fabric furniture or vehicles. I don’t have any dirty, fabric furniture to test on but I believe it to be handy if you do. I was able to do all carpets in our home with less than one bottle of cleaner. 2 Capfuls ≈ 1 oz of Cleaner ≈ 150sq on MAX or 250sq on Auto. Each bottle is 16.9oz of cleaner. Pros: - Looks Nice - Easy to Maneuver - Controls are Simple (After Learning) - Removes LOTS of Hair (Even for “Clean” carpets) - Auto, Max, Dry Modes - Hand Attachment, Long Hose - 2 Bottles of Solutions Cons: - Annoying voice after each shutdown - Smaller Water Tank - Cord Adequate, Not Overly Long - Could Use Forward Lighting Final Thoughts: The Tineco Carpet One Complete Smart Upright Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner has shown me the value of these smaller, residential cleaners for spot or whole house cleaning. I cannot compare it to that of a commercial grade cleaner but I know it has made our home cleaner vs just using a vacuum. I would definitely recommend this carpet cleaner to those looking for a consumer grade cleaner.

I am a hugeeee fan of my Tineco s3 so I was so excited about this. I have had other carpet cleaners in the past but upon reading the reviews for this I almost didn’t blink dishing out the money for it. However, I was disappointed with it and returned it. It did pull a lot of dirt out of my carpet but I don’t feel like it was saturating certain areas enough (like my cream area rug) to really brighten it. Since it’s a “smart” machine, it decides how much solution to dispense and even on max mode I feel like it sucks most of it right back up. It does dry well but in my opinion it’s because it’s not putting out much solution to begin with. I went over a small area where my mini dachshund had an accident and I could still strongly smell exactly where it was. I live in a new build home and own a cleaning company myself so we are pretty clean in general so it didn’t have much work to do in the first place. But pet accidents are a huge reason as to why I think people buy these type of machines and unfortunately this one just did not perform how I’d like it to. Ultimately I returned it like I said above and I went with a pretty affordable option in a different brand. I will still love Tineco as a brand, but I feel like giving some manual options to this would really be helpful.

Overall, I ended up liking this carpet cleaner. I had some concerns at first because the included instructions were very limited, and I wasn’t sure how well the device was cleaning. But once I started cleaning multiple rugs and stained furniture, I could clearly see the difference in cleanliness. To be clear though, this is not an industrial size professional carpet cleaner, but for cleaning around the house, this carpet cleaner does a good job. I really appreciated the simple design, which is like a vacuum cleaner. And the different parts, such as the water tanks, are easy to use, and simple to clean. The included instructions are very clear on how to setup the unit. But there was very little in terms of suggested cleaning tips or descriptions on the proper way to use the unit. Also, the included hose attachment came with two scrubber attachments for the nozzle. Unfortunately, the instructions gave no guidance on the purpose of each scrubber. One is hard bristles and the other one is rubber nubs. I found the hard bristles worked better on my couch cushions. After a day of use, I figured out the best way to use the unit. The unit comes with a feature called the iLoop Smart Sensor. It’s supposed to determine the level of dirtiness of the area you’re cleaning. I found my unit wasn’t very accurate. It would show me a blue ring, meaning clean, in areas I haven’t even cleaned yet. And I know my rug was dirty because it has never been cleaned with a carpet cleaner in the 5 plus years that I have had it. The indicator ended up not be very useful for me, however, I felt confident that after multiple passes over the same area on the rug, the unit was doing a good job pulling up the dirt and cleaning the fabric. It’s very possible that sensor can be improved with an update from the manufacturer. The companion app does have a section to allow for firmware updates. The unit’s drying feature, on the other hand, worked really well. After multiple passes, the indicator would eventually show the area as dried. After testing the area with my hand, I can tell the rug was not left soaking wet, and the unit did a great job sucking up any excess cleaning solution and applying heat. It cut down on the overall drying process considerably. In terms of cleaning, the unit did a very good job for being a consumer level carpet cleaner. As can be seen from the pictures I posted, the carpet cleaner was able to pull up a lot of dirt from my rug and left areas visibly cleaner. The provided hose attachment also did a good job removing some heavy stains from my couch cushions. Using the hose required more scrubbing and multiple cleanings, but the stains were greatly reduced (see pics). On another rug in my house, my cats unfortunately like to cough up their hairballs on it. I used a black light to show a dirty area that remained even after I initially clean up their mess (see pics). I went over it with the carpet cleaner and found that it did a good job cleaning up those areas too. This particular rug is a high pile type, meaning very long fibers, but the unit did well on that type of rug too. And when it came time to empty the dirty water tank, the dark brown water was a good indicator of how much dirt and grim was pulled up using this device (see pic). Another positive aspect of this unit is the simplicity of cleaning it after use. The dirty water tank can simply be rinsed off thoroughly. The included scrubber brush does a good job wiping off the excess dirt and gunk from behind the roller. And the roller itself easily comes off so it can be rinsed too. All other parts can be rinsed with warm water and left to dry overnight (see pic). The best part is that each piece simply snaps back onto the unit after they’re cleaned. It’s not a highly complicated device. Its design is such that it's simple to use in my opinion. Again, aside from the small technical issues mentioned above, the unit does a good job cleaning carpets and rugs. I was very happy with how well the hose attachment cleaned dirty areas on my couch. Using the attachment takes more “elbow grease,” but it’s nice no longer having visible stains. I’ve used other carpet cleaners in the past, and many of them are bulky and contain many complicated parts. Not to mention, they offer a multitude of cleaning solutions for the one unit. I find the different cleaning solutions as unnecessary up sales. It’s nice that this unit uses one cleaning solution. This simplicity adds to the convenience of this carpet cleaner. It doesn’t require much maintenance and it’s simple to use. And I am satisfied with how well it cleans.
