Ecovacs Robotics is a Chinese company that makes several products, but it's best-known in the United States as a range of vacuums sold under the brand name “Tineco.” Its vacuums have won several awards, including a Consumer Electronics Show innovation award. They're all cordless, running on rechargeable batteries. They’re also available at every price point, from low-cost basic models to several-hundred-dollar smart vacuums.
In this article: Tineco A11 Series Cordless Vacuum, Tineco Pure One S12 Pro EX Smart Vacuum and Tineco Floor One S5 Steam Wet/Dry Vacuum.
Tineco makes three types of vacuums and a carpet cleaner.
A Tineco vacuum's battery life is anywhere between 20 and 120 minutes with better vacuums lasting longer. Keep in mind that these times are in laboratory settings, so your mileage may vary.
Tineco vacuums use charging cradles for charging. Most use a wall-mounted cradle that must be screwed in. If you dislike this, you can also find freestanding cradles that rest on the floor, though not many Tinecos use a cradle.
Each Tineco vacuum category is sold in different price ranges.

This is Tineco’s entry-level vacuum. It can run for roughly 20 minutes on a full charge, and its fully sealed four-stage filtration system traps particles as small as three-tenths of a micron. The Essentials edition excludes an accessory set.
