I’ve had a lot of tinico vacuums and vac/mops. A serious love hate relationship. On one hand I love this brand. Everything about it is superior to Dyson price/suction/customer service/design. However, They don’t last me very long. A variety of issues arise and even though they have a good return/replacement policy.. I can’t go a 1/2 day without vacuuming ( kids and many foster pets that shed and shed and shed) so the time consuming return process is not optimum for me. I have a vac/mop right now that’s holding up pretty well but my standard vacuum had to go. The issues are a fault of every cordless stick vacuums I’ve ever had. An inability to set it aside.. upright. . I . lean the vac up against a wall or a counter and it slides down and smashes into the floor which usually breaks the canister off or those little tabs that click it back into place break and then I can’t put the canister back on. Or the door clasp gets cracked and the door swings open… dumping all the dirt on the floor just as I’m finishing. grrrrr so I set out to buy my 6th Tinico vacuum and figured maybe a higher end model.?? Then I saw the price $699!!! I mean, I have to vacuum and I vacuum so often that it’s a good investment for me, but I can’t justify that $$$ How can anyone justify that. Until I realized Amazon Prime Day was starting…At 50% off it was $311. Still expensive BUT these attributes might justify the cost …(If they worked as advertised. #1 a floor stand that will charge the vacuum as well as give it a place to park, right without having to screw something into the wall and Not having to wrangle cords around the other things in the utility area in order to plug the thing in. ( EXCELLENT… works great as advertised) #2 tangle free roller -they all say this, but honestly, I’ve not had that experience. I have long haired cats and long haired kids, and I am constantly taking hair out of the rollers ( EXCELLENT… not a single hair has been wrapped around the brush) #3 self cleaning cleaning apparatus. This one pretty much explains itself who doesn’t want to vacuum that will clean itself… But I spend so much time cleaning my cleaning tools before cleaning my house.. if this works as advertised, it would be a game changer for me. (I am pleased to say it works! phenomenally I’ve not had a single problem with it) #4 green floor light HOLY COW! It’s a double edged sword without the light is like magic it illuminates every single speck of dust fur on your floor, so you can really get it all, but the problem is it illuminates every single speck of dust and dirt on your floor and I had no idea I was living in ignorance of how filthy my house truly is.All the things I loved in the description of the vacuum actually worked as advertised and I’m slightly obsessed with her.!!But no one can ever make a perfect vacuum so here are some things I don’t like.#1 Its really really loud. Oddly loud. Vacuums have gotten so quiet. This is like we’ve gone back decades and it almost sounds like a playing card stuck in a bicycle wheel. #2 the dust bin door isn’t designed to be opened by hand so it’s tricky to pry it open if you need to get in there.#3 only 2 speeds of suction. ( my last vac had 3 speeds and I’m constantly shutting the vacuum down accidentally cycling through the speeds. #4 the price… even on sale•*** it’s been 1 month and I LOVE her. The self cleaning feature is amazing! I never realized how much I dreaded cleaning and all the vacuum maintenance on the vacuum itself until I didn’t have to do it anymore. I’m not thrilled with how lboud it is, but the good outweighs the bad so much so that I would have gladly paid the the full retail value just to have this lovely machine.
