Tineco A11 Pet Stick/Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

I love the fact that it comes with two filters and an attachment to vacuum the filter off. The second (hepa) filter for the exhaust air is an essential option that not every vacuum has, too. Unlike more expensive brands, this doesn't stink or cause breathing problems due to thick polyurethane foam filters, machine grease, or anything like that, so you can use it anywhere with no offgassing time, no need to wait until you can open the windows for the first few uses, no problems with being unable to use it in places that need to be sensitivity friendly and dust free due to exhaust fumes, this is great right out of the box.

I do miss the ease of being able to remove a bag, which made it easier to empty vacuums without stirring up dust and causing breathing problems, but wrapping a grocery bag around it while emptying the bin can reduce dust expansion to some degree. The design of the bin is the best you can expect from a bagless model, with a cup that opens away from you, and tight rubber seals around the filter that protects the motor from dust infiltration.

The vacuum-able filter option is why I bought this vacuum instead of something from another brand, and the fact that my more expensive brand name one stunk like chemicals every time it was run was why I didn't buy another of those. As long as they keep offering vacuum-able filters like this, I will keep buying Tineco vacuums. No more well water quality issues keeping the water from being usable because you rinsed the polyurethane foam filter, no more waiting days for the filter to dry, no more problems with dust getting around a poorly designed filter and causing a stink and cause breathing problems like I had with the previous, more expensive brand. Finally, a vacuum cleaner that works like it should and doesn't cause trouble.

The only recommendation that I would consider making regarding designs would be to eliminate the small "button" like spot where you have to pres down on tiny, round bit of plastic on one tube that is in the center of a hole on the other tube, designed to keep the two tubes from accidentally separating. The larger push buttons on the other part separation points work wonderfully, and I'm mot sure why they couldn't just do that between both tube sections like they did everywhere else. Worth the hassle for the vacuum-able filters and fume free vacuum, though, so don't let that deter you. This is a great product, and I hope Tineco keeps incorporating these features into its future models, or just continues to produce this one.

The A11 Pet Stick/Handheld Vacuum is the best cordless vacuum I have seen, and I hope they don't stop making models with these features. For those with allergies, sensitivities, and autoimmune issues, this is an accessible vacuum that won't cause more problems than it solves, and won't make you regret the purchase cost (which is cheaper than its competitors, too, another important accessibility feature).

Im in love with my new vacuum.

I have had four other cordless vacuums, and this is by far the most powerful. Even at half power it picks up our dogs' hair from the carpet. Interesting thing is of you see descriptions on Amazon on vacuums they will state they have 400 watts or so and 35K of suction power. If you look on other sites that is not always the case. This vacuum actually has that power. Just wish it had a bigger holding canister. Great cordless vacuum.

I’m very pleased with the way it performs for a battery operated vac. I bought it originally as a hand vac, but it does fine as a regular vacuum as well.

This is such a good product. User friendly. Easy empty, cordless, easy to switch attachments, It is so user friendly that I use it way more often! Easy easy easy. I love it!
