The Tineco Pure One S12 and Dyson V11 Torque Drive are two of the best cordless stick vacuums I've tested so far based on how well it cleans floors, run time, and overall build quality.
While the V11 has superior airflow, the Pure One S12 more than held it's own in the surface cleaning tests.
It was able to outperform the V11 in surface cleaning tests. Even the direct drive attachment of the Pure One S12 did better than the V11 when it comes to cleaning sand and hard floors.
The V11's Torque Drive attachment is best suited for cleaning carpet, but it is still very good on hard floors thanks to the brush roll design and adjustable gates.
But there is some risk of scratching since it does not have padding underneath and the ball system is all-plastic.
I would say that the Tineco Pure One S12 is a better option for folks who live in homes with a mixture of hard floors, low pile carpet, and rugs.
The V11 Torque Drive is a no-brainer inside homes with lots of carpets.

I own the Tineco 11 hero. I bought it 4 years ago and am serious when I say I have run it hard..she still kicking butt. I just ordered another one for our house and my first is being put in our camper. Tineco is number 1# in my opinion. Thank you for the review. I subbed🙂

[@Alvan81]

Very informative, well lit, and well shot. Nicely Done!

Excellent work sir. Thanks! I already have a previous Tineco model and it's just awesome.

Hey thanks for the comparsion, good video. One thing: I'd considering using a better micophone.

[@mariellemangundayao9954]

Awesome video review! Your videos helped me decide on which vacuum to buy. I decided to go with the Tineco Pure One S12. :) Thank yoi again for your help!

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Glad I could help!

[@GSP-76]

How is it holding up for you long term?

[@lloydchristmas4547]

@@GSP-76 I've had the Tineco A11 (not the model in the video) for two years now. The only issue I have is that one of the batteries is dying. Otherwise, the unit still works like it was the first day.

[@DasherzZz]

great review. Will you review Dreame V11?

[@uTubed007]

Nice review, you gave a lot of point of views in your testing. I would say you are way up there with the one at Vacuum wars ;-). You should be getting more views I predict ,keep up your good work.

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Thank you for the kind words

[@gregoz6]

Which vacuum you’d recommend for 100% hardwood floors without going a crazy high budget?

[@dedriegroat6459]

Very good I wish I had a tineco. Vacuum. Cleaner

[@CaliVapor]

Which do you prefer? Please Note that the days on V11 outsize models are more powerful. 220 air watts on boost mode. About 20% stronger. A soft roller can be used with the outsize as well as other attachments with an adapter

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Airflow doesn't matter much on hard floors with the soft roller. Ii'll only go with the Outsize if I need to clean carpet, but if you don't mind spending for it and want to use it on hard floors, I wouldn't stop you. Note that the soft roller attachment of the V10 will also fit the Outsize :).

[@zodiacfml]

awesome review and I'm a fan of Tineco but there's huge differentiation left out, the filtration system of either. it is in the cyclones where Dyson made their/his name. The Tineco has the most basic filtration, only a bare HEPA/paper filter in cheapest vacs is worse. One will have to clean Tineco's post motor filter, every other few days or one week to maintain efficiency and performance while the Dyson will take a month or more.

[@muskratdove]

It's a shame he didn't reach out to your comment, because it would have added some credibility back to what was otherwise a decent review. It's recommended that the prefilter be replaced 3-4/year, and the hepa filter 2x/yr, thus adding significant ongoing costs. I was pulling my coat on, to go pick one up when I saw your comment, which completed the review. Thank you for making it, because you saved me from having to make a return, and saved me being angry with myself for being duped by yet another content creator. Best wishes for 2022.

[@zodiacfml]

​@@muskratdove glad it helped! I think you already know the value of good filtration, no need to repeat myself. Cheers!

[@rebeccawilson7896]

Thanks for this! I was on the fence re Dyson/Tineco but knowing this I’m defo upgrading my v8 Dyson now 👍🏻

[@zodiacfml]

@@rebeccawilson7896 You are welcome however, complication! Tineco recently released the S15 just the other day and now has the cyclone technology like the Dysons. It costs $600 and there is no review for it yet.

[@dura2k]

@@zodiacfml From all what I saw the S15 is more a backstep in most of comfort and extra. And for the filtration, I saw different smoke tests and the S12 and S15 were perfect, like the dyson. So I don't think the filtration is a problem.

[@gregoz6]

there is one big negative with Pure One S12, it's really hard to clean under the bed or cabinets as the wand when you lower it to the floor lifts the power head. Dyson is more flexible under the beds.

[@heatherwalters-petrenos5625]

I was wondering if you knew about the Alexa feature on the S12 V compared to the other S12 models and/or could you make a video about the differences between the models? Also, I’m glad to find you have the most informative videos on the subject of vacuums that I have found! Please keep up the good work 🙂

[@ronnieraukawa2414]

Dies Does the tineco have a peice that hooks onto tge attachments so it can stand up there is a clip on type peice in them but ni attachment, only negative thing about them

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Some variants come with a wall-mountable dock so you can store it vertically.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

How does the pre-motor filtration compare? The tineco has the convenient filter cleaner tool, but I've heard the Dysons just don't need to be cleaned often because of better cyclonic separation, is this true in your experience? Will I have to clean the tineco filter more often than the Dyson filter?

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Dyson has better filtration. Yes, Dyson's filters will require less frequent cleaning than Tineco. The Tineco filters where pretty much soiled after all the cleaning and needed washing, whereas the Dyson wasn't as dirty. So yes, it will require much more frequent cleaning.

[@rebeccawilson7896]

Having owned various Dyson sticks over the years as a professional cleaner, I can say their filtration a system is awesome. I clean the filter roughly once a fortnight (and that’s from heavy daily use)

[@jayjayhooksch1]

@@rebeccawilson7896 thanks for the reply! I've had the tineco for about a year now, and I find that I also only need to clean the filter once every two weeks or so. It gets daily household use. I imagine the Dyson would require less maintenance but I'm currently fine with the tineco. The only issue I've had with it so far is that the turbo suction feature no longer works. I haven't bothered to replace it because the normal suction is sufficient for all my needs.

[@DataDietz]

@@jayjayhooksch1 thanks for this info!

[@AW-cp3mu]

Did you notice wiggle issue with the V11? the wand does not sit as solid as it should I notice it danced around a bit, which makes it feel cheap.

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

I did not notice it. You could ask Dyson, maybe they will send a replacement wand.

[@AW-cp3mu]

@@CordlessVacuumGuide It seems it is not the wand, it happens with all the attachments, which makes it feel very cheap, like it is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naicq5SMn6mlptU

Very nice review, I have s12 and I still love it. I tryed V10 last week and returned it. Dyson has better filtration and better method for emptying the dust bin but that it.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Isn't Tineco's filtration system more convenient?

[@sts899]

@@SmartRobotReviews yea I have one and the filtration Is really good and the app shows you more then you need to know like how dirty or clean the dustbin or filter is and tells you when to clean it the auto mode is really good and save a lot of extra battery life but the dyson only switches from carpet to floor or vice versa and if the carpets clean then it’s wasting battery life and looks obviously the s12 looks better too the dyson is big and bulky.

Mostly okay-ish video. However you need to work on you methodology. 114% pickup for Dyson? No real measurement takes into account (in fact they try to minimize it!) the condition and history of its test tools. I'd hope you don't need an engineering degree for that. You MUST always zero out the embedded fine grain before testing, for example use a very good corded vacuum, or a fresh stripe of carpet. If you tested a very bad vacuum before this comparison, the order of test would have an effect, as whichever will you use first will have results over 100% - practically this is what happened. Can you tell with confidence Tineco wouldn't have picked up at least 113% if gone first? Your numbers suggest an unrealistic difference... You maybe did realize part of this yourself, but instead of re-doing a fully normalized test, you reported the numbers as is: after 7 years of testing this is -sorry for the abrasiveness - absolutely lame. Sorry, but this is so basic, I have an urge to downvote all of you videos till this date, partly because the name of the channel suggest professionalism (so people will give credit to you, which you do not fully deserve like this). Also I'd to mention the CFM: I'll say that is not the most relevant data out of the three possible: you should report pressure, and air power, and THEN maybe CFM. The Vacuum Wars gut have better methodology than you (he normalizes the deep clean test carpet before each test for example!), and he reports pressure as well, but has some flaws here as well. Specifying air power will give you an insight on motor (+fan and air channel) efficiency, if motor power is also given - most manufacturers give it. Using only CFM is a bane of non-SI units, don't favour the americans in this stupidly. At least give it in liters/s also (which is slightly non-SI, but powers of ten changes are easily don mentally...) (If you use SI, you'll get the air power by simple multiplication of the pressure and current...)

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Thank you for the lengthy comment. It certainly got my attention. You're right, there's no perfect methodology. That doesn't exist. I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve vacuum comparisons. It evolves. Right now, I'm using the tools I have on hand. I will add more tests, as I go along, to make these as objective as possible. When testing these vacuums I do the exact same test for both vacuums. Regarding the 114% score (a little exaggeration), I was pointing out the ability of the V11 to really deep clean carpet. Both vacuums were tested the same way, so that score is accurate. You were referencing Vacuum Wars, he actually got a higher score for the Pure One S12 in the deep cleaning test, compared to what I got, just an FYI. As for the Pure One S12 getting a score higher than 114%, I don't think that will happen. I tested it several times. The seal isn't as tight as a Dyson. With the V11, it's hard to push with the gates closed and full-power. Thanks for the feedback, and I'll look to improve the testing methodologies as I go along.

how does it perform on carpeted stairs?? will the tineco bend
