Floor One Stretch S6 the floor cleaner that folds 180° and cleans everywhere!

When we talk about manual floor cleaners, that is to say 2-in-1 vacuum cleaners and floor cleaners, there is a reference brand, Tineco. Many brands produce high-end devices, but undoubtedly the Germans are the undisputed point of reference. Lately I had tried the Floor One Switch S7 and I was absolutely impressed by the very high level of the device. Now I have also had the chance to try the Floor One Stretch S6 which has a special feature that not even the Floor One Switch S7 had and once again I have to say that Tineco hit the mark! Let's see why!

Floor One Stretch S6 PACKAGE

Tineco's packages are always very solid and the product is well packaged, even if from an aesthetic point of view, in my opinion, it leaves a little to be desired. But let's immediately see what we will find in the package:

  • Floor cleaner body already assembled
  • Handle
  • Charging base
  • Lid to optimize self-cleaning and drying
  • Replacement HEPA filter
  • Replacement washing roller
  • Tineco Detergent
  • Instruction booklet in Italian
  • Brush for any obstructions

ASSEMBLY – DISASSEMBLY Floor One Stretch S6

The Stretch S6 will arrive practically already assembled, you just have to insert the handle and the operation is really very simple. You will find the insert right above the Display and the only precaution is to insert it in the right direction, but don't worry... it won't fit in the other way! The handle must be placed in front. In case you have to disassemble the handle
The parts that you will have to remove and replace regularly are essentially 3: clean water tank, dirty water tank and roller. All of them can be disassembled and reassembled in a few seconds, and I assure you this is a great convenience.

Floor One Stretch S6

You can also not remove the washing roller because the self-cleaning and drying work very well, so all the dirt is removed and in about 10 minutes the roller will be dried. However, I sometimes prefer to remove it to check its condition and verify if there are no dirt residues where it attaches to the floor cleaner. To remove it, simply pull the lever on the right and that's it. To put it back, insert it into its seat, rotate it until you find the right fit and it will automatically hook onto the release lever part too.

As for the tanks, you will find them in front (dirty water) and above the cleaning roller (clean water). The position of the latter is unusual for a floor cleaner but necessary to allow it to tilt up to 180°, which we will talk about later, without letting the water spill out of it. The clean water tank does not need to be removed to fill it, you can use a funnel or a simple bottle of water by removing the cap beforehand. In any case, if you want to remove it to be more comfortable in the filling operation, you will simply have to unhook it using the release lever that you will find above. As for the dirty water tank, you will have the release lever right in front and an additional convenient lever that will allow you to perform the operation with one hand.

The dirty water tank must be emptied and cleaned at the end of each washing session to avoid the proliferation of bacteria and bad smells. You must also remove the hepa filter and wash it under running water. Inside you will find liquids and solids separated, this is to avoid throwing solid objects into the toilet that should not be disposed of in this way. At the end of emptying, rinse well, let the filter dry and finally you can reassemble everything.

CONTROL KEYS

The buttons to control the floor cleaner are 4 and are located on the handle, in front, above and behind. At the front we find the button ON / OFF and the button for change the usage mode. Above the button to start self-cleaning and drying of the roller while behind the button to reset the wi-fi, change the language and increase/decrease/disable the volume of the voice feedback.

TECHNICAL FEATURES Floor One Stretch S6

As always, the technical data sheet of the Tineco floor cleaners is the flagship of the product, even if some information, as usual, is not provided (such as the suction pressure). Here it is in detail:

As for the materials we are at the TOP, as soon as you pick it up you realize the premium quality of the product. Aluminum alloy and polycarbonate of the highest level create the body of the machine that is really very solid. From the handle, passing through the motor group, to finish with the tanks we do not find a "weak link" from a construction point of view. The hooks are perfect, the parts really easy to disassemble and assemble. Note the decidedly long charging time, which certainly could have been better. The autonomy is in line with the products of the segment, but on the Stretch S6 we remember that the wheels are power assisted, this means that with a little push forward or backward, it will move practically by itself and this obviously affects the battery consumption a little. Obviously, all this is balanced by the fact that with this convenience we will finish washing the floor sooner.

The tanks are quite capacious although we must say that less expensive models reach one liter. From personal experience I can tell you that the capacity of 0,8L e 0,7L they are enough to clean an entire apartment of 80m², but don't worry if you have to clean larger surfaces. The water loading and unloading operation is really fast and will not take more than 2/3 minutes.

The electricity consumption for drying is high but the incredible thing about this Tineco is that in about 5 minutes the roller is dry. This is a truly top-level performance considering that other devices take at least an hour. I remind you that while the final cleaning of the roller is practically mandatory (you can skip it but I don't recommend it) drying is optional. I never do it in the hot months, I remove the roller and put it in the sun so that it dries by itself. You can also place it near a heat source, but be careful not to put it too close with the risk of ruining it.

180° CLEANING

The most important feature of our Stretch S6 It is undoubtedly the possibility of reclining it up to 180° and therefore cleaning under furniture, sofas, beds, etc. This feature is the prerogative of very few floor cleaners and I must tell you that it is really very useful for keeping the house cleaner better. In fact, under these pieces of furniture often nest piles of dust, mites and so on. The minimum height you must have to allow the floor cleaner to reach under the furniture is 13cm. Then you just need to tilt the handle until it reaches the floor and pass our Tineco which will vacuum and clean everywhere.

METHOD OF USE

Depending on the type of dirt to be removed, you will have the possibility to select 3 pre-installed modes of use and install an additional one via the application (which I will talk about later). The selected mode will appear on the Display and you can change it by pressing the appropriate button on the handle or via the application.

  • Self Mode: the automatic mode is the one I recommend you always use. In this mode it will detect the type and quantity of dirt on the floor and will consequently adjust the suction power and the volume of water atomization (how much water will be released)
  • Max Mode: in this mode the suction power will be maximum and the water release will be the same. Through the application you can change the suction power, decrease it, but not change the amount of water released. Recommended if your floor is really very dirty.
  • Suction Mode: this mode is suitable for suction only, ideal if liquid has fallen into it (water, wine, etc.).
  • DIY Mode: the “do it yourself” mode is not installed by default and you will not find it if you do not first install it via the application (I will explain how to do it later). Once installed, it will allow you to create your own favorite mode with suction power and water release variable from 0 to 100%.

DISPLAY Floor One Stretch S6

The LED display is a very bright and contrasting circular form factor, rating 10. Here we will find the fundamental information for operation through icons or writings:

  • Mode: AUTO, MAX, CUSTOM, SUCTION
  • Wi-Fi indicator (connected – searching)
  • Dirt detected monitoring (outer circle from blue to red based on dirt detected)
  • Dirty water tank full (or blocked)
  • Empty clean water tank
  • Tangled brush roller
  • Roller drying
  • Self-cleaning

APPLICATIONS

Few floor cleaners have the ability to be connected to an application and I think this is really important because it allows us to update the firmware of the device. Of course we are not talking about a smartphone that requires regular updates, but having the ability to fix some software problems directly with a home update is certainly an important plus. The application in question is "Tineco Life" that you will find in the store of your phone (android and IOS). Once downloaded and installed, enable BT and location, create your account if you do not have one and give the app the required permissions.

Now you can click on the “+” and the search for the floor cleaner will start

At this point we can connect to the Stretch S6, set the voice feedback language, give the name and download the animation package after which we will be on the home page of our device.

Below we find 3 TABS:

  • My Floor One from which, using the buttons at the top right, we can access the floor cleaner settings. By clicking on 4 little squares we will access the usage modes. Here we can add the DIY by clicking on it and then selecting add. In the modes screen, by clicking on each one, we will access the settings screen of the single usage mode and possibly modify its settings.

By clicking on the floor cleaner icon instead, we will enter the menu that will allow us to select washing with or without detergent and set the volume of the vocal feedback. The areas selected in blue indicate where to intervene for the specific operation.

  • Cleaning log where we will find the history of our washing sessions
  • Settings From here we can check the name associated with the floor cleaner, product manual, if the firmware is updated, voice package installed and download animations

SELF-CLEANING - ROLLER DRYING

A fundamental operation, at the end of each cleaning, is the automatic washing of the roller with subsequent drying. To do this, you simply have to place the Stretch S6 on the base, place the appropriate cover to optimize the operations and press the self-cleaning button (the one above the handle with the water drop symbol). At this point, cleaning will begin, the roller will be sprayed with hot water at 70°, rotated back and forth removing all remaining dirt residues. At the end of this first phase, drying will begin with hot air at 70° which will last very little, just over 5 minutes. At the end you will only have to worry about emptying the dirty water tank where all the dirt will end up. The only flaw of this procedure is the noise of the drying, but given the ultra-fast timing it is an absolutely acceptable inconvenience. We remind you that other similar products have drying procedures even longer than 60 minutes with obvious greater expenditure of electricity.

HOW DOES Floor One Stretch S6 CLEAN?

The cleanliness you will get with the Tineco Floor One Stretch S6 It is certainly excellent. For those less prepared on the subject, with this type of device you can vacuum the dust and wash the floor in a single pass. The amount of water released, in automatic mode, is perfect for cleaning and at the same time drying quickly. In a couple of minutes the wet area will dry. The novelty that we find in this model is the possibility of tilting the handle up to Inline and this will allow you to clean even under furniture that is higher than 13cm which is the maximum size of the floor cleaner folded at 180°. It is undoubtedly a great convenience not only for washing under furniture but also for cleaning in all those areas where it would be impossible to do so with a classic floor cleaner. In my case, for example, under the sink cabinet where there is space but with the classic one I could not reach the bottom of the wall. Dust and animal hair will be completely removed, as well as dirt stains. Obviously they must not be stains that have been encrusted for months because in that case the best solution will always remain the classic brush and dishcloth. The preliminary and final operations, filling clean water - adding detergent - emptying dirty water - cleaning the filter and dirty water tank - self-cleaning the roller - drying the roller, make the floor cleaner a perfect product for a complete wash and not for cleaning small areas of the house. This is obviously a general discussion that applies to all.

The clean water tank placed above the roller, however, creates two small problems: we will not have the very comfortable LED light which illuminates the floor, making us see even the smallest particles of dust and the minimum height we need to have to allow the floor cleaner to pass is slightly higher than usual, approximately 8cm versus the 6cm of my previous model. In my case these 2cm do not allow me to clean flush with the furniture in the room.

Another noteworthy specification is the roller joint which I consider the best I have ever tried. This specification is important for the maneuverability of the floor cleaner that will allow us to go and clean in all the areas of the house that are a bit difficult due to the presence of furniture and corners. In fact, we will easily be able to reach every point by tilting it even laterally. A functional joint allows us to have perfect cleaning

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Floor One Stretch S6

The first guarantee you will have with the Floor One Stretch S6 it is that of a practically perfect wash. As always Tineco is a guarantee of absolute quality of its products and this time it does not disappoint. The automatic mode is perfect and it will decide how much to vacuum, how much water to release, it practically moves by itself, all you have to do is fill the tank and decide which floor to wash. The fact that it can be reclined at 180° is a significant plus, you will no longer leave parts of the house unwashed and this will help a lot to have impeccable hygiene. I love the roller joint and the servo-assisted wheels that make washing easy and you will really clean every corner of the house. Very good autonomy, excellent self-washing and drying of the roller which, although noisy, finishes in about 5 minutes!

In short, as you can see, there are many positive aspects while the negative ones are limited to the absence of the front LED which would certainly make the view more accurate on dirtier or dustier areas and to a really slow recharge (but you can get around this with a convenient night-time recharge).

La Stretch S6 It costs €599 on the list but sometimes you can find it with some interesting discounts. The price is not low, but I also believe it is lower than the real features of this product. If you are looking for a floor cleaner at the TOP of the category I would recommend you without any doubt the purchase of this Tineco Floor One Stretch S6.
