All in all, its a good investment if you have a mix of floor types in your home.
Tineco claims the Switch S6 is a 5-in-1, but I found it to be more of a 3-in-1.
Still, it’s one of the most versatile vacuum cleaners Ive tested.

The Tineco Floor One Switch S6 is available in the US and Australia.
Its primary function is to be a wet-dry vacuum mop, so it does both at the same time.
The self-cleaning process, though, I found to be rather noisy.
Where the Tineco Floor One Switch S6 falls short is when using it as purely a vacuum.
This is just the wet-dry vacuum mop main unit, without the swappable attachments for floor and handheld vacuuming.
Its not a versatile machine like the Tineco Floor One Switch S6, though.

And putting it all together while following the diagrams in the user manual was a losing battle.
Thankfully, there are easier instructions on the box.
Theres also a Mini Power Brush for upholstery and a 2-in-1 crevice/dusting tool.

Tineco even supplies a cleaning brush for the dirty water tank.
So while its not entirely ideal for larger homes, it is more than enough for smaller ones.
These include auto, max or eco depending on the attachment you have connected.

It needs a little extra elbow grease, so its a good thing it has its own handle.
Importantly, none of the mopped-up dirt made its way back onto the floor.
Its still effective on hard floors, but only with everyday debris and crumbs.

However, I appreciate the fact that the Switch S6 also converts into a handheld unit.
Dirty water collected in the tray is then vacuumed up into the dirty water tank.
Suction continues to be used to remove any last dirty water droplets.

I used a decibel meter app on my phone and recorded a reading of around 78dB.
I absolutely agree you should do this, as (to my surprise) odor can build up quickly.
I left the pieces to air dry before attaching them back to the main unit.

Tineco supplies a small brush to help agitate and remove debris from the filter.
I found that the app itself wasnt all that useful, and in some instances, totally unusable.
It will eventually power itself down entirely, at which time I found the app didnt connect.

If youre just vacuuming, however, therell be up to 65 minutes available on tap.
Should I buy the Tineco Floor One Switch S6?
Plus, you’ll need to spend Dyson money.
