Tineco has expanded its wet and dry floor cleaner lineup with four new models that bring the company’s HyperStretch lay-flat technology to more households across different price points. The new range includes the FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch, FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Deluxe, iFloor U5 Stretch, and FLOOR ONE S6 Stretch Pro, all designed to tackle those annoying hard-to-reach spots under furniture without losing suction power.
The highlight across all models is the 180-degree lay-flat design, which means you can actually get under beds and low-lying furniture without contorting yourself or moving heavy pieces around. From my experience testing various floor cleaners including their product range (check our reviews on their products), this feature addresses one of the most common pain points in everyday cleaning, and Tineco has now made it available across multiple models rather than keeping it exclusive to their premium range.
Leading the charge is the FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch and its Deluxe variant, both packing 21kpa suction power and three cleaning modes to handle different situations. Auto mode covers your basic everyday cleaning, Max mode tackles stubborn smudges and heavy dirt, while Suction mode is there for when you need to deal with spills and larger messes. The DualBlock Anti-Tangle Design uses a scraper system to stop hair from wrapping around the brush head, which anyone with long hair or pets will appreciate.
The FlashDry self-cleaning system activates with a single button press and uses heated fresh water to clean everything from the internal pipe to the brush roller. The sealed drying process runs at 85 degrees Celsius and completes the entire cycle in just five minutes. The brush roller spins in both directions during this process, making it fluffier and drier while reducing odours. Both S7 Stretch models offer 50 minutes of runtime, which should cover most homes on a single charge.
For those looking at a more budget-friendly option, the iFloor U5 Stretch brings 20kpa suction power and many of the same technologies at a lower price point. It includes the 85-degree Celsius Flash Dry Self-Cleaning, DualBlock Anti-Tangle Design, and the Constant Clean Brush Mopping System. The upgraded pouch cell batteries provide up to 40 minutes of runtime, and the HyperStretch 180-degree lay-flat design is still there to help you reach under furniture with ease.
The FLOOR ONE S6 Stretch Pro, available exclusively at Costco, features the same HyperStretch technology with a three-chamber water separation system that maintains strong suction even when the unit is lying completely flat. Mini assistive wheels and a 45-degree swivel design help with manoeuvrability, and it also includes the FlashDry Technology for hassle-free cleaning after use.
