Everyone wants to purchase a great vacuum, but the question is always which one do you choose? Well, here you will be able to decide between the TIneco iFLOOR 3 and the Tineco FLOOR ONE S3. Both are great machines, with a few subtle differences.
Performance Test – Tineco iFloor 3 vs Tineco FLOOR ONE S3
When it comes to performance, the iFloor 3 is the more powerful of the two machines. It also comes with two modes, being MAX for deep cleaning and ECO for normal cleaning. The 220W motor is driven by a 3000 mAh battery. The noise that is produced by this machine is only 78 decibels despite the machine having a lot of power. Clean air is discharges through the machine by means of the HEPA filter.
The Tineco iFloor 3 also has a 220W motor, which is run by a 4000 mAh and it also has two cleaning modes, the MAX and the AUTO. The MAX mode allows the machine to function at full capacity and the AUTO mode is for regular functioning, but the sensor can detect the amount of dirt on the floor and then it adjust accordingly.
After testing out both of these products, the verdict is that the Tineco FLOOR ONE S3 wins when it comes to the smart operations that it offers. It is recommended that you only use the Tineco cleaning solution with warm water at between 140 degrees F.
Ease of Use : Comparison
The iFLOOR is easier to use than the iFLOOR 3. The fact that it has a LED display that shows you all the information is one major advantage. The iFLOOR also comes with a 3-in-1 docking station for charging the machine, as well as for the purpose of self-cleaning, and for storing it. You can run this floor cleaning machine for about 18 minutes on the MAX mode and about 25 on the ECO mode. The size of the tank is also a bit bigger.
Staying with the ease of use, the Tineco iFLOOR S3 beats the iFLOOR hands down when it comes to variants. The LED display will show you when it gets dirtier with the light that gets redder as it gets dirtier and bluer when it is cleaner. The iLoop sensor is great because it allows the machine to adjust automatically. The voice support and the app intergration makes it easier for cleaning and it runs for 35 minutes on AUTO mode.
Ease of Maintenance
It is important to clean your machine after every use because otherwise you will end up with a buildup of bacteria, which is bad for your health.
These two machines require more or less the same procedure in order to clean them. The LED display shows you if the dirty or clean water tank needs to be filled or emptied, and it tells you when it is time to clean the brush roller. When the iFLOOR 3 is in its docking station, it will show you when it is in self-cleaning mode. Both of these machines use the HEPA filter, which you will need to wash after each use to make sure that there are no blockages. The Tineco comes with a spare filter and has a 2-year warranty.
When it comes to the Tineco FLOOR ONE S3, the procedure for maintenance is the same, except that you will also get voice assistance on your smart phone. The app will actually speak to you and tell you when certain actions need to be taken. This model also comes with a 3-in-1 docking station and cleaning tool. You will also receive a spare brush roller when you purchase this model and the smart self-cleaning function will give you the peace of mind that you will always have a clean machine. With this machine, you also get a 2-year warranty.
In this category, both machines are about the same.
Portability
At 9.9lbs, the iFLOOR 3 is lighter than the iFLOOR, but it is still easy to move around. The fact that the tanks are larger is what makes it heavier. It is easy to detach the handle on the iFLOOR 3, but with the iFLOOR, you will need to unscrew the screw by using a screw driver.
When it comes down to it, both of these machines are basically the same – the weight, the dimension, etc. The only new things are the larger battery and the smart technology. It seems as though the Tineco iFLOOR has to win this catergory because of its compact design and the fact that it is lighter.
Versatility
These types of wet-dry mop and vacuum cleaners are made to be used on floor like vinyl, laminates, linoleum, engineered and solid wood floors, stone, marble, tile and grout, concrete, and other types of floors. They work great on these types of floors, clean all types of floor perfectly and leave them looking fantastically shiny and clean.
Some people will say that these types of machines cannot be used on carpets and rugs, but this is not the case with these Tineco’s at all. Even though they are not designed for rough flooring, it can be done, but you will not be left perfectly satisfied because you will still have leftovers that you will need to clean up in the old-fashioned way. If you are looking for a machine that is specifically designed for carpets and rugs, you should look for just that – one that is made for this purpose only.
Conclusion
There are not that many differences between these two machines. Both of them can be used to remove a variety of stains like mud, grime, pet hair, beverages and food, fungus/mold, dirt, makeup, and grease. They both also come with a 2 year warranty, are both pretty light and have about the same amount of power. The choice at the end of the day is up to the person who is looking to purchase one.
