If you live in a home with kids or pets and you have carpet, chances are you’re going to need a carpet cleaner at some point in your life. Sure you can rent them from the grocery store, or hire a pro but that’s a both a hassle, time consuming and expensive. Having a carpet cleaner at home is a great way to tackle small messes before they turn into bigger and more plentiful set-in stains. That’s the idea behind the Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner.
In this review I’ll take a look at what this device can do, how it works, how well it actually cleans and if you stick with me, I’l talk price and if I can recommend it to you.
What is Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner?
What’s in the box?
This device comes in a large box and it looks big and intimidating with lots of parts… but it’s really not.
Let’s see what you get as you unpack the box:
Handle
Cleaning brush
Requisite instructions
A bottle of carpet cleaning solution
The vacuum unit, which just needs the handle clicked into place
The dirty water tank arrives detached from the machine and it too clips into place on the base
Accessory head and hose with two nozzle heads
With everything assembled you’ll note there’s power buttons on the handle, and a port to add the accessory hose in the top of the cleaner head. There’s a small filter here to to trap hair and debris and an extra one is included in the box, so make sure not to throw it away.
The cleaner has two wheels and a large single roller brush underneath. That middle roller-looking device is actually a humidity sensor, and we’ll get to what that’a all about in a bit.
You can wind the cord up on the rear using the loops, and there’s a step-lever to recline the cleaning head, as well as a step-lever to unhitch the dirty water tank too.
Finally there’s heated air drying to speed up dry time.
When I started my testing I used simply water and Tineco’s cleaner.
Tackling filtration soiling in my basement
I used the Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner on my 15 year old basement carpets, which I thought were in need of replacing due to several mysterious stains which had grown over the years despite vacuuming. This is likely what’s called filtration soiling, where your carpets act as a filter for the air which passes from the room into the walls or through gaps in baseboards. In the past only professional cleanings have made these go away.
Once I got the hang of it I did a few more passes and started to see improvement. These areas are quite soiled and past spot cleaning has done nothing for them. As you can see in the before/afters the difference it pretty remarkable.
Next up We cleaned some unknown dark spots that had appeared after our renovation. The Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner didn’t seem to be having much effect, so I added a pre-treater to the spots, waited the appropriate amount of time for that to penetrate, then ran the Tineco again. To my surprise they came completely clean.
To wrap things up, I decided to spill coffee on the carpet to see what would happen with a fresh stain…
With really just one pass, it had all the liquid up and out of the carpet fibres.
The bottom line for me was that this cleaner definitely transformed my carpets from “needs replacement now” to, I can keep them in place a while longer.
Cleaning modes
Auto
Auto mode could also be known as basic cleaning. In Auto the vacuum and its sensor detects dirt levels and will automatically adjust the water volume and suction.
Max
Max mode increases water volume to 100%, great for tougher stains.
Dry
Dry mode increases the wet vacuum suction to power out not just the dirt but more residual water too. You do have the option of adjusting this too to dry carpets more or less.
Overall review: Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner
Overall The Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner has earned a place in my partially carpeted home. It cleaned carpets I thought were uncleanable without professional help. It powered away tough stains, and filtration soiling
Downsides?
The unit is large and heavy, but it kind of needs to be. If you do need to make it more compact, the handle can be removed for storage or transport. It’s also loud but again, it needs to be.
The biggest downside for me is that the accessory hose didn’t seem to work as well as the rest of the machine. But in all honesty, I’d buy it for its carpet abilities alone.
The Tineco Carpet One Smart Carpet Cleaner sells for about $499USD and I haven’t yet seen the Canadian availability or pricing.

Very good review. I would have soaked SOAKED that area which had MOULD or something in it. You had a tremendous honest thorough review. I liked it, liked the way you showed mini videos of what you had done, vs.... showing us 2 hours of cleaning. Well done. Just did our first use, and eliminates the muck of having to go to the rental place. Here there was a place who rented professional equipment, and I had a small cleaning business and would use that in the past. BUT he went out of business because he couldn't get repair personnel. I rented a small unit from HomeDepot, but someone must have cleaned maybe printer laser ink powder, and I got micro spots of black the whole time. This Tineco works great. Thanks for your review.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you so much and appreciate you sharing your experience too!

[@wendybarker5118]

Good review. I like how technical this review was. I hope the machine is durable.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@chasebethersonton5169]

Can you tell me what the "special cleaning solution" is? I'm fine putting whatever on the carpet ahead of time, but I don't know what that would be. Great vid, thx!

[@JulieHagenbuch]

I would also like to know what the "special cleaning solution" was that made the machine much more effective.

[@Jake-vd7ig]

Thanks for the review, theres so few on this vacuum on KZbin. I do have a few questions, would you mind sharing what you meant be "adding special cleaner." (Was it added in the machine, preteated ect.?) Also would you mind sharing what cleaner you added. Lastly, have you ever used any of the other more traditional carpet cleaning machines such as any of the bissell or hoover ones? If yes, how would you say this compares to them? Thanks!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Excellent questions. The special cleaner I added was a liquid carpet cleaner the time code includes in the box. It is added to the clean water tank in the machine. In cases where I pre-treated, I used a basic carpet treatment that I picked up from the grocery store… I don’t really remember the brand. Yes I have used some of those other machines… But not for a very long time. As far as I recall, I would say it is definitely comparable or perhaps somewhat better than those other ones.

[@OxyDryCarpetCleaningKelowna]

I have been cleaning carpets for over 45 years and this machine is no different than any other end user product such as a Bissell, Hoover or Rug Dr rental. they all spray a solution into the carpet and suck it out as you pull the machine backwards. Some may have a brush to give agitation but they are all notorious for overwetting the carpet and provide mediocre results in most cases. The stains you referred to as filtration stains definitely were not that but were obviously spills that were attracting soil over time and that was why they were becoming more obvious. Filtration stains are almost always blackened areas that appear long the wall along the baseboard. Repeatedly going over the spot as you did will only drive the soil deeper into the backing as the carpet is made wetter with every pass and these machines have notoriously poor suction anyway. I use a low moisture process and the spots and stains and obvious soiling on your carpet are easily removed with a proper and thorough cleaning. If you have not had success with professionals in the past on these areas that is a reflection of their inferior process or lack of applying proper procedure to correctly clean your carpet, The very first and most important step to any carpet cleaning is thorough pre vacuuming of all areas to be cleaned and most carpet cleaners will omit that important step.

This is great information, thanks so much for taking the time to share it!

Thank you! Cheers!

I have an iCARPET it seems no one has done a review on that model. No iLoop. I found the manuals better on the website than what was mailed with it.

[@cindynicholas1486]

Thank you for sharing. I found this very helpful.

What is the gadget inside the dirty water tank? I can’t attach it or take it out

[@kpsher367]

I already have Tineco S5 floor cleaner, I am going to put in an order for the carpet cleaner Tinco as well today. Canadians are so convincing, now talk to and convince the white house to fix the US economy :-) .

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Haha! Yes!

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

What pre treater did u use?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Honestly it was just whatever was on sale at the grocery store.

[@27896rcanty]

It says carpenter cleaner…Where does it say we can use a carpet cleaner on sofas and other items that aren’t carpets?

[@jaycc2704]

too much of gimmick most people use blower heater under £50 price of this compared to competition bad it's real shame Dyson don't make carpet cleaners💡.
