Tineco S7 vs. S5 Face-to-Face Comparison Review
Tineco Floor ONE S7 PRO is a compact and lightweight vacuum that resembles a stick vacuum but is a bit bigger.
It has the traditional wet and dry vacuum design with the cleaning head at the bottom, the main unit in the middle, and the handle. It measures 10.43 x 10.24 x 43.7 inches and weighs around 10 lbs.
The S7 Pro boasts excellent build quality courtesy of the premium materials used in its construction. It has been finished in black and silver.
The Tineco Floor ONE S5 is pretty much similar to the S7 Pro in terms of design and aesthetics.
It also comes with the typical wet and dry vacuum design with three main parts; a cleaning head, main unit, and handle. But there are a few differences. The Floor ONE S5’s dimensions are 10.75 x 10.24 x 43.3 inches, while the weight is around 10 lbs.
We also like the robust build quality that guarantees durability. The finish is black and silver.
As far as design and aesthetics are concerned, there is no winner. Both vacuum cleaners have a solid and compact design. They are also sleek and stylish.
Tineco Floor ONE S7 Pro is just as versatile as its predecessors.
As the name suggests, this is a wet and dry vacuum designed for all kinds of hard floors, from tile and hardwood to linoleum and marble. It can pick up all kinds of dirt in dry mode, from fine to large debris.
On the other hand, the S7 Pro wet mode can tackle those wet messes, from stains and grime to oily and sticky substances. The Tineco S7 Pro is strictly a hard floor cleaner, so don’t use it on carpets.
The Tineco Floor ONE S5 is also a versatile hard floor cleaner. It can handle just any hard floor, including tile, linoleum, vinyl, marble, hardwood, you name it.
In the dry mode, it picks up the everyday household dirt, for example, flour, sugar, coffee, rice, pet hair, etc.
It is also designed to handle wet messes in wet mode, from tough stains to other wet, sticky messes. Like the S7 Pro, the S5 is not designed for carpets.
Again, there is no winner in this round, as the two have the same cleaning orientation. They can clean both dry and wet messes and are suitable for all hard floors.
Tineco Floor ONE S7 Pro is a powerful vacuum that delivers excellent suction to suck up not just debris but dirty water. The brushless motor puts up between 15AW and 30AW. For the record, there is no manual suction adjustment.
Instead, Tineco brought on board iLOOP Smart Sensor Technology. For starters, this intelligent system detects spots with concentrated dirt and automatically steps up suction power. In spots with less dirt, the cleaner steps down suction, ensuring efficiency with regard to power consumption and quiet operation.
The Tineco S7 Pro has an upgraded dual-sided brush head design for agitation and dirt lift-up. It is optimized for dirt pickup along baseboards and wall edges. These are spots your typical wet and dry vacuum with no enhanced edge cleaning features can’t reach.
When it comes to filtration, we are glad the S7 PRO comes with true-HEPA filters which are 99% efficient and capture down to 0.3 microns.
The Tineco Floor ONE S5 is also a powerful vacuum cleaner that shares several features with the S7 PRO. It also packs a powerful brushless motor that delivers between 15AW and 30AW. Like the S7, there is no manual adjustment.
Instead, the S5 comes with iLOOP Smart Sensor Technology that leverage sensors to detect spots with a lot of dirt and increase suction, while in places with minimal dirt, it reduces suction power automatically. This makes the cleaner energy efficient and enables it to operate quietly.
Like the S7, the S5 has also been designed with an upgraded dual-sided brush optimized for cleaning the wall edges where typical vacuums can’t reach.
Regarding filtration, the S5 also tags along with true-HEPA filters which capture 99% of dust allergens and other unwanted elements. Now that it is a true-HEPA filter, the S5 filters down to 0.3 microns.
It is hard to call a winner here as both vacuum cleaners have the same features. They offer the same suction power and come with the innovative iLOOP Smart Sensor system. Besides, they have the same brush design and filtration system.
The Tineco S7 Pro is a reliable vacuum mop designed to handle all kinds of messes, from stains to sticky messes. It features a dual tank design, so you will always be cleaning the floor with fresh water without leaving streak marks all over. The clean water tank has a 0.85L capacity, while the dirty water tank can hold 0.72L.
Another feature worth mentioning is iLOOP Smart Sensor technology that facilitates efficient water usage. The cleaner detects spots that require a deeper cleaning and increases roller speed and water dispensation.
To eliminate all dirt, including embedded dirt and stains, the S7 Pro’s brush roller spins up to 450 times per minute for high-speed washing. It constantly wrings dirty water courtesy of the uniquely designed floating scraper.
Just to mention, the S7 Pro offers fast drying time courtesy of Centrifugal Air Drying and has a self-cleaning system that takes care of the brush roller in just one click.
The Tineco S5 is also a reliable vacuum mop that can handle all kinds of wet messes, from stains to sticky messes.
Like the S7 Pro, it also features a dual tank design so you can always clean with fresh water as dirty water is sucked into the dirty water tank.
However, the S5’s tanks are a bit smaller. The clean water tank has a 0.8L capacity, while the dirty water tank can hold 0.7L.
The S5 will also automatically adjust brush roller speeds and water flow courtesy of iLOOP Smart Sensor technology. The brush roller also guarantees high-speed washing and a scraper that eliminates the dirty water from the brush. The S5 also has Centrifugal Air Drying and a self-cleaning system that cleans the brush roller, so you won’t have to.
Regarding mopping performance, it is hard to call a winner as both models have the same features. They both have dual tank designs and iLOOP Smart Sensor technology that adjusts brush roller speed and water flow. Besides, they feature Centrifugal Air Drying and a self-cleaning system. However, the S7 Pro has a slight edge now that it comes with larger tanks.
The Tineco S7 Pro is a user-friendly vacuum cleaner that doesn’t require much assembly, as most parts come preassembled.
Regarding controls, it features an intuitive 3.6″ LCD panel displaying crucial data such as mode, battery, etc. The handle is ergonomic and has the control buttons strategically positioned for easy access when cleaning.
One of the best features of the S7 Pro is the all-new bidirectional propulsion system dubbed SmoothPower which makes pushing and pulling the cleaner effortless. We also like the fact that the S7 Pro has swivel steering, so turning is a buzz.
Other features worth mentioning include Voice Guidance, App connectivity, a head-lit brush, a magnetic roller brush, and a minimalist docking station.
The S5 is also an excellent choice when it comes to usability. It also has most parts assembled, so you won’t struggle to assemble the unit.
Like the S7 Pro, the S5 also features a 2.1″ LCD panel that displays all the info you need to know about the working status of the cleaner.
The handle is ergonomic and has strategically positioned control buttons for easy operation. The S5 also has a swivel steering mechanism, so turning the cleaning head is effortless.
Other features worth mentioning include Voice Guidance, App connectivity, a magnetic roller brush, and a minimalist docking station.
As far as usability is concerned, the S7 Pro is the ultimate winner. It has a larger, more intuitive LCD panel, SmoothPower self-propulsion system, and a head-lit brush.
Tineco Floor ONE S7 Pro is a cordless vacuum cleaner. There is no limit on where you can clean, unlike its corded counterparts.
Under the hood, the S7 PRO packs a powerful 3,900 mAh lithium-ion battery that offers up to 40 minutes of runtime, though when suction is stepped up, the runtime drops to 26 minutes.
One great feature of the S7 PRO is iLOOP Smart Sensor that adjusts suction automatically depending on the dirt at hand. The recharge time of the S7 PRO is 3-4 hours.
Tineco Floor ONE S5 is also a cordless vacuum cleaner powered by an inbuilt lithium-ion battery. The battery has the same capacity as the S7 PRO, 3,900mAh.
When in low power mode, the S7 Pro can run for 35 minutes, while when firing on all cylinders, the runtime dips to 22 minutes, which is still impressive.
The S5 also has iLOOP Smart Sensor Technology, which detects spots that require higher suction and steps up the performance of the motor. It will also adjust the suction for light vacuuming so you can always clean efficiently. Recharge time is 3-4 hours.
It is hard to call a winner in this round, as the S7 Pro and S5 both come with a 3,900mAh battery. However, the S7 Pro is the ultimate choice as it offers a slightly longer runtime.
Tineco is a renowned brand despite being from China, a land known for low-quality products. But you can trust Tineco, and besides, Tineco accompanies the S7 PRO with a generous 1-year warranty.

Make sure to check the terms and conditions. Support is also available, including live chat. When it comes to replacement parts and supplies, Tineco has them in plenty.
There is no winner as far as warranty, and aftersales are concerned. The two are from the same brand, Tineco, and have the same warranty. Besides support, replacement parts and supplies are available.
The Tineco S7 Pro does require maintenance. As a cordless vacuum cleaner, you should charge it before getting started to avoid interruptions. Better still, you can get a Tineco S7 replacement battery as a backup. The tanks also require frequent maintenance. Fill the clean water tank and add a cleaning formula if necessary. Also, empty and rinse the dirty water tank after every cleaning session. One great thing about this vac mop is the self-cleaning brushroll system. You don’t have to get your hands dirty as the vacuum can clean the cleaning head in just one click. And it’s not just about cleaning the brushroll. It also dries it, making it ready for the next cleaning session and, importantly, keeping bad odor and molds at bay. You should also consider washing the filter at least once a month. The main brush and filter will have to be replaced in 6-8 months and 3-4 months, respectively.
The Tineco S5 will also require some maintenance, like the S7 PRO. To start, you will need to ensure the battery is charged before starting to prevent interruptions that kill the psyche to get tidied up. When it comes to the tanks, the clean water tank should be filled and a formula added where necessary. Similarly, the dirty water tank will have to be emptied and rinsed, preferably after every cleaning session. When it comes to the brushroll, we are glad the S5 also has an innovative self-cleaning system that takes care of the brush in just one click. What’s more? The S5 will also use Centrifugal Air Drying to ensure the brushroll is ready for the next clean. The S5 filter also requires washing at least once a month and a replacement in 3-4 months. On the other hand, the brush should be replaced in 6-8 months, depending on wear and tear.
There is no winner in this round. Both vacuum cleaners are maintenance-intensive. The battery needs to be charged, tanks filled with water and emptied, and filters cleaned. They all feature a self-cleaning system. That said, the round ends in a draw.
