Tineco Floor One i7 Fold: the Small and Compact Floor Cleaner
Among Tineco's vacuum floor cleaners, there is a model that stands out for its compact size and ease of reaching tight corners or cleaning under furniture, sofas, and beds. This is the Floor One i7 Fold, a model that is not only compact but also integrates a handle that can be easily folded by pressing a button.
The more compact size allows the Floor One i7 Fold to clean under furniture that has a ground clearance of only 9.6 cm. The pivoting handle allows you to lay the vacuum cleaner flat on the ground while keeping the grip raised, offering a much smoother and more practical movement compared to traditional models.
The front roller has a narrower width compared to the typical models in this category. While this requires more passes to cover the same area, it also allows you to clean narrow passages on the floor that would otherwise be inaccessible. The roller features a DualBlock Anti-Tangle device, with a scraper that intercepts hairs and fur to prevent them from getting tangled, reducing the effectiveness of both the suction motor and the roller.
The roller design allows for thorough cleaning along the edges of walls and furniture. The pivoting head connecting the base to the vertical structure enhances maneuverability, allowing you to glide along objects without leaving any area behind.
The suction motor reaches a maximum power of 22,000 Pa, adjustable depending on the selected operating mode: the selection button located at the handle level allows switching between auto mode, maximum suction mode, and others.
As noted, the Floor One i7 Fold distinguishes itself from other products in this category by its compact dimensions, which not only allow easier access to hard-to-clean spots but also reduce overall clutter in the home.
The charging base is square-shaped and smaller, while the vacuum cleaner can be stored with the handle folded, taking up even less vertical space. The charging base also manages the self-cleaning operations, which can be initiated by pressing a dedicated button located at the top of the handle. During this operation, the roller spins in both directions, effectively removing any set-in dirt. At the end of the washing operation, conducted with water heated by a blast of hot air, the roller is dried by the base in two distinct modes: one, faster and noisier, lasts 5 minutes, while the other, quieter, takes 40 minutes.
Once activated, the Floor One i7 Fold behaves similarly to the vacuum floor cleaners we have tested previously, benefiting from the compactness of the base and very smooth maneuverability. Its compact dimensions are a strong point: it can not only be maneuvered effortlessly but also found a fixed placement in the home even when space is tight.
The 4 operating modes available can be selected using the button mounted on the handle, combined with a large screen that shows which mode is currently in use. The narrower width requires more passes to cover the same area, but this certainly does not constitute a limitation. The wheels mounted on the base do not have a traction mechanism, but this does not pose a problem: the compact dimensions and lightweight facilitate all movements even without a traction mechanism.
Operating time ranges from a minimum of about 30 minutes of continuous use in maximum wash and suction modes, increasing to about 50 minutes in the other Eco and quiet modes. Overall, these are more than adequate times to complete the cleaning operation of the floors in a medium-sized home, up to 95 square meters, without requiring a temporary pause for charging.
