Tineco Floor ONE S3 Breeze ($369)
I have been an O'Cedar bucket and mop user for years. Before, I had a Bissel Crosswave and hated it. When I started to see Tinecos everywhere it seemed like another gimmicky Crosswave that people liked to sell on TikTok shop. I couldn't be interested in the slightest. That was until I saw my 1,000,000,000th dog paw print within minutes of mopping and I was pushed over the edge. One of my best friends has and loves her Tineco and she very kindly let me use and review it.
Let's get right down to it. The ONE S3 Breeze is a cordless wet/dry vacuum with motorized wheels for self propulsion, iLoop technology to tell you when the floor is cleaned, and self-cleaning system for the brush roller and tube. With the vacuum you get the charging dock/home base, Tineco cleaning solution, 2 filters, 2 rollers, and a cleaning brush. The S3 Breeze also comes with an LED display that shows the iLoop technology in action and allows for you to switch between auto and automax mode for bigger messes.
What I liked -
I LOVED that I didn't have to get sweaty while mopping my floors. The ability to fill up a small tank of water and solution and just go was a blessing to my back. The floors got noticeably cleaner, but with absolutely zero streaks and dried much faster than my mop and bucket. I liked that the machine talks to you. It alerts you clearly when more clean water is needed, when to empty the dirty tank, and when to self-clean.
What I didn't like -
This particular model doesn't get edge to edge cleaning. You'll see in the video there's almost an inch of untouched floor. The clean and dirty water tanks are also pretty small. I don't live in a big space currently, but I had to refill the water tank more than 4 times to do my entire house.
So, will I buy my own S3 Breeze? No. BUT, I will wait to buy one of their higher models like the S7 FlashDry when it's on sale. The higher FlashDry models have better and more effective self-cleaning systems and much larger water tank. The Tineco won't replace my mop and bucket for quarterly deep cleans, but this will absolutely be the machine to maintain a clean, dog paw free home all year long.
