If having sparkling clean floors is important to you, I don’t think there’s an easier way to achieve that than with a Tineco wet/dry vacuum. The Tineco Floor One S5 cordless wet/dry upright vacuum introduces intelligent detection technology and app enhancement to a reliable product line, and it’s a joy to use.
What’s in the box?
In the box of the Tineco Floor One S5, you’ll find the vacuum body with its handle boxed separately. It clicks into place easily and securely, much like the other parts of this Tineco vacuum. The vacuum body comes with a 0.7 litre removable dirty water tank and a 0.8 litre clean water tank, both of which remove with a wide, soft-touch release bar.
This vacuum comes with two brush rolls and two filters so that you can rinse and dry them fully after every use, plus a holder for each that slides into place on either side of the S5’s charging base (which also protects your floors from any water residue after you use this vacuum). It also comes with a charging cord, a cleaning tool, and one bottle of Tineco’s fast-drying, sud-free multi-surface cleaning solution.
What can the Tineco Floor One S5 do?
I’ve reviewed a Tineco wet/dry vacuum before, and I loved it. This updated model looks and feels very similar—but comes with a few notable changes.
The Tineco Floor One S5 Cordless Wet/Dry Upright Vacuum’s coolest feature is the brand’s new iLoop Smart Sensor Technology. iLoop uses debris detection and a full-colour LED display to detect wet and dry dirt and other materials. It adjusts roller speed, suction power, and water flow to best suit the material underneath your vacuum at any given time, and shows you on its LED display when you’ve hit a particularly dirty spot (the ring around the display will run red) vs. when you’ve cleaned it thoroughly (the ring around the display will turn blue).
To really simplify its description, the Tineco Floor One S5 will simply clean both wet and dry debris off of your floors. Its cordless operation and smooth joints make this vacuum easy to navigate around your home, and its battery lasts for up to 35 minutes. The S5 has enhanced edge cleaning, and Tineco wet/dry vacuums deliver shiny, dry, streak-free floors very reliably thanks to the brand’s excellent cleaning solution.
Unlike the last Tineco vacuum I tried, this is a smart home-friendly model with app support and iLoop smart sensor technology. It operates at a rather serene 78dB, and has manual buttons for power, mode switching (AUTO or MAX), self-cleaning, and Wi-Fi connection/volume muting.
What’s on the Tineco Floor One S5 screen?
The Floor One S5’s screen’s primary feature is to showcase its iLoop technology so that you can get the best clean possible. However, it also displays other information.
When you’re connecting your Floor One to your Wi-Fi for the first time (to use the brand’s Tineco Life app support), this screen is where you’ll see the vacuum’s Wi-Fi status. It’s also where you can view your vacuuming intensity, battery percentage, and self-cleaning status. You can look to this display while vacuuming to check on the status of your dirty water tank, clean water tank, and brush roller.
The app features of the Tineco Floor One S5
Despite the fact that the Tineco Floor One S5 is an excellent wet/dry vacuum, the thing that I loved most about it wasn’t its efficacy. Instead, I loved its principles.
I’m far from a luddite, but I believe in good design. And, for things like appliances and home cleaning tools, I think that good design sometimes means less app reliance. If, for instance, I want to vacuum my floors but I can’t find my smartphone, that shouldn’t slow me down—and it definitely shouldn’t prevent me from vacuuming them altogether.
In my opinion, Tineco executes the perfect blend of in-app and on-body control with the Floor One S5. You can use the full functions of this vacuum without ever needing to install the brand’s Tineco Life app on your smartphone. However, if you do choose (and choose is a really important word here—I think that app support should definitely be a choice) to do so, you’ll get even more out of the vacuum through the app.
The Tineco app gives you feedback on the status of your water tanks and brush roll, with helpful videos on cleaning, changing, and troubleshooting so that you can get the most out of your device for as long as possible. It also lets you change the volume level of your vacuum, toggle silent mode on and off, change the language of the voice assistant, and name your vacuum. I went with Elliott for the S5; I’m on a kick right now where I’ve been naming all of my smart vacuums after English boys, and I’m really enjoying it.
Like a quirky new name, the app support on this vacuum just enhances the experience with it. It isn’t obligatory, and I’m extremely impressed by and grateful for that.
My experience with this Tineco Cordless Wet/Dry Upright Vacuum
I loved using this Tineco Cordless Wet/Dry Upright Vacuum. From its excellent design to its handy screen and app accompaniment, I think that it was excellently put together and beautifully manufactured.
My favourite two things about Tineco vacuum bodies are their efficacy and their ease of use. Like the other Tineco vacuum I’ve reviewed on this blog, the S5 gets my floors sparkling clean in just one pass—three if something is really caked on down there. (It’s usually cat food.) This upright vacuum cleaned and mopped my floors more effectively than any manual or robotic vacuum or mop I’ve ever used, and the finish that it leaves you with is just perfect.
With the Tineco Floor One S5, my floors dry quickly to shiny, streak-free, luxurious perfection. They feel great under my feet almost immediately afterwards, with no stickiness and no “floor cleaner” smell. (Tineco’s sudsless cleaning solution does have a deodorizing fragrance, but unlike other floor cleaning solutions I’ve tried, it doesn’t fill my home. Once it does its business, you’d never know it was there.)
On top of all that, these vacuums are incredibly easy to use. This vacuum’s motorized brush roll makes it feel lightweight even with a full water canister, and it’s easy to navigate with a tilt of its ergonomic handle. The S5’s cordless design and 35 minute battery life are awesome, and everything about it just feels really seamless. It’s easy to position correctly in its charging base; it’s easy to fill and clean (no wrestling with any releases); and it gets right up into corners and edges.
What can you clean with a wet/dry vacuum?
To finish off, I thought I’d talk about a few things that are easy to clean up with a wet/dry vacuum (and a few that aren’t). While this vacuum won’t deep-clean your carpets or get pet hair out of your drapes, there are plenty of things for which it’s absolutely perfect.
I live with what I like to joke is the world’s messiest cat. Fern’s litter mannerisms include flinging clay bits as far as possible from the bin (the farthest I’ve seen her fling litter is a little over two and a half metres, using her litter liner bag as a slingshot). Her eating habits involve picking up her piece of raw food out of her bowl or plate, then turning slightly to drop it on the floor before eating it. (I think this is a holdover from her time as a tiny kitten in a hoarding house, before she was picked up by a shelter. It’s inconvenient… But also heartbreaking!)
Both of these messes are difficult to clean up with just a vacuum or just a mop. The litter can leave a film behind that a vacuum can’t pick up, and her food bits are sometimes too large to be scrubbed up by a mop but too wet to be picked up by a vacuum. But this Tineco vacuum cleans both up like a charm. It scrubs each surface clean, usually in just a single pass, and helps enormously with both the general level of mess on my floors and with my allergies.
It’s perfect for deep-cleaning litter messes, potty training messes, and the areas around pet food bowls. If your family spills cereal and milk, or your kid is learning how to bake, this is absolutely the vacuum for you.

The wet to dry feature is pretty awesome, but I also love that it is cordless. Makes quick clean ups so easy.
Cordless feature is my favourite feature. No more heavy lugging.
Being able to use it as a wet mop would be ideal for our floors,
Would be perfect for my black tiles in the entrance needed up by dog
I like the fact that this vacuum’s motorized brush roll makes it feel lightweight even with a full water canister.

I like the dirt detection feature, the cordless feature, long battery life and that it is lightweight.
I like the fact it is cordless.
Wet dry feature is awesome i wouldnt need a swiffer wet jet !
Hmm. I have no intention of connecting my vacuum to the internet. Everything you need to know should be clearly visible on the device itself. But I am interested in the idea of a mop/vacuum. Especially one that feels lightweight even with a full tank.
I love everything about it. To name a few that it has wet/dry, no stickiness, long battery life and especially that it feels lightweight even with a full water canister, and it’s easy to navigate with a tilt of its ergonomic handle.
I’m most excited that I can control it through my smartphone 🙂
the long battery life would be a huge benefit in my home
“Get things done” is my 2022 motto and this futuristic vacuum seems to be a great company for such demand. I LOVE its cordless design and the fact that it integrates so many functions. Since a fur baby will be joining the family soon, the “detect dirty areas” function feels like I’ll be doing less work. I’m excited to receive this vacuum. Yay !
It is great that the Tineco lets me know when the floor is extra dirty. Amazing it knows how dirty the floor is.
I love the Tineco Floor One S5 cordless wet/dry upright vacuum because it’s cordless! It’s so annoying always having to step over a vacuum cord or move the plug to different plug ins
I like the feature that the Tineco Floor One S5 will simply clean both wet and dry debris off of your floors
I really like that this mops and vacuums your floors in one quick step. My space is small and I don’t want to spend any more time than I need to to keep the floors clean.
I like the wet/dry feature because our dog’s food bowl area is a complete mess when he’s done eating.
there’s just not many wet cordless vacuum on the market, so its a big feature.
I like the wet/dry feature so that I can use the same tool for washing & vacuuming the floor.
I like the ability to check information about my Vacuum through an app, maybe someday i’ll be able to browse the Best Buy Blog from my vacuum too.
The cordless feature is so handy plus I like the fact that it has enhanced edge cleaning
I like that it has 2 separate tanks
I love the cordless feature, to be able to clean with out a cord in the way or having to stop to change plugs!
The intelligent detection technology for sure. If you have a spill on carpet you just run it over the entire area and done!
I like the ease of use and mute capability.
I love the 2 in 1 wet dry/ mop vacuum idea…this would make life a lot easier for sure!!
I like that it can clean and mop in 1 pass.
I like that it’s easy to use and a wet/dry feature.
I live how it mops and vacuums in one quick step
Very interested in the iLoop Smart Sensor Technology!
Debris detection between wet and dry
I like that Tineco Floor One S5 Cordless Smart Wet/Dry Vacuum can mop and the floors dry quickly and then are shiny and streak-free.
I love the LED display that tells you when you’ve hit a particularly dirty spot vs. when you’ve cleaned it thoroughly; this would be really helpful!

Tineco Floor One S5 Cordless Smart Wet/Dry Vacuum is amazing, I love that you can vacuum but then mop an area. Simply Amazing
I love the fact that it can mop, and dry your floors plus be a vacuum. With house pets that do go outside being able to wash the floor and not just vacuum it is huge
The feature that excites me the most about Tineco Floor One S5 Cordless Smart Wet/Dry Vacuum is the intelligent detection technology and app enhancement so I don’t have to needlessly go over the same area.
I believe this product would be light and easy to use – especially for seniors.
I believe this product would be light an easy to use – especially for seniors.
I do like the enhanced edge cleaning, but the app to tell you the status of your water tanks and brush roll is pretty cool.
Wet and dry feature is needed
I like that it can adjusts roller speed, suction power, and water flow to best suit the material underneath your vacuum. This will protect my hardwood floors.
I like the long battery life so I can get more cleaning done without having to wait for the battery to charge.
The Tineco floor one S5 sounds fabulous particularly the fact it senses when the area is cleN so you can move on to the next area.
I like the feature of being able to see the battery percentage available. Also the cordless feature.
