Tineco C3 Cordless Stick Vacuum - Custom Series, Blue with Accesory Flex Kit + Mini Power Brush

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying this vacuum, in fact, I have succumbed to using this over my big vacuum for the whole house. The upholstery attachments are great, even the small brush roller. I used it on my floorboards and it picks up great. With the oh so many attachments, it makes the vacuum so versatile that with a quick press of a button, I can change out attachments and keep on going. I did figure out that if you do not have an attachment on, it will not operate. On the side of the trigger button is a locking switch to allow you continuous operation without having to hold the trigger. The flex hose makes it great to get into tight areas and I really like the flexibility of choosing my suction power. Cleaning the unit: Cleaning the unit is a breeze as you can quickly dump the containment area and with a quick twist pull the inner filter (metal one) out and clean it off. You can easily pull the "cloth" filter out without ever opening the containment area by simply pulling the filter straight out of the bottom and cleaning it off. There is one more filter, it is an air filter, and it is attatched to the back of the actual unit; also very easy to pull out by pressing the two tabs (one on each side) side and pulling it out. Each filter can be cleaned and reused saving money on maintenance. Batteries: I have 2 batteries with the unit and I highly suggest getting the second battery as they don't last a long time when on high suction (mine lasts maybe 15-20 minutes with continuous use on high. The unit will shut itself off when any filter clogs up making the unit work harder than it should. This brings me to the con. Con: The filters clog very easily and require constant cleaning. Sometimes after cleaning all the filters out it will still shut itself off and blink red on the battery (with a fully charged battery and clean filters). The "cloth filter" is the one that clogs the quickest and easiest. I recommend having a spare on hand so you can wash one and use the other to continue. This is the only con that I have found thus far and I have put this unit through the ringer so to speak, however, it is a neusance of a con.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this vacuum combination set! The number of attachments that comes with it is staggering and ensures there is one for every vacuuming situation. I am able to get through my cleaning on a single battery. There is no limit as you can take it anywhere and even use it on your car!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Owning the Tineco PWRHero 11 and absolutely loving it, when I needed a new vacuum for my studio I knew just where to turn. And when I saw the Tineco C3, with more attachments, more configurations, and an extra battery, it was a no brainer…and I couldn't be more pleased. It's everything I love about my other model, with more functionality. As expected, the C3 came perfectly packaged and in pristine condition. All the components were fun to unwrap…I felt like I was opening a Christmas stocking! The vacuum itself is very light compared to other cordless vacs. But my very favorite feature, as on the other model, is the trigger lock. This keeps you from having to squeeze the power button down the entire time it's in use. In the past I've had very nice, name brand, cordless vacs that don't have this feature. And over time the switch shorts out and my hand hurts from having to squeeze down on the button! So this one is much more ergonomically designed. My joints thank you! The vacuum came with the main brush head, which has LED lights, a smaller head of similar design, and three other specialty attachments for tighter, more specific work. Too it has the mounting dock, two batteries (yay!), a flexible hose attachment, and an elbow that will allow you to fix the pole of the vacuum at specific angles. And here is where I'll talk about the major upgrade from my previous model. My older Tineco had a single pole from the handset to the head of choice, but the C3 pole is segmented, so it can be easily shortened or reconfigured. I've pictured both my Tinecos together so you can see what I'm taking about, but the C3 allows you to modify the vacuum in so many ways, ensuring you can get to whatever mess you want to clean up. And while it does mean you have more accessories to keep track of, it also means you really aren't limited as to what you want to do. The only thing to note is that depending on how you stack your accessories, you can lose the electrical power to the head (so don't expect to be able to attach the powered heads to the unpowered flexible tube, for instance. The vacuum has 3 modes, Low/Med/Max that you toggle between. I originally planned to just use mine on our tile flooring and low pile rugs. Then I decided to try it out on the carpet. It was shocking how much dirt, hair and lint it picked up! Now I use it regularly for the whole house. The manual says battery runtime for a full charge at low/med/max speed is 40 mins/19 mins/12 mins respectively. I would say that's pretty accurate so far. But because you have a spare battery, double the specs! Cleaning the various filters is easy, and a must to keep the C3 working well, with maximum suction. The LEDs are very bright, and very handy when vacuuming underneath furniture. The main, large head has large wheels, and the pole rotates smoothly 180 degrees, so it's very easy to manipulate in awkward spaces. Clearly I'm a huge fan, and I have and will continue recommending this cordless vacuum to my friends and family! I absolutely love my older model, and this one only improves on what I was so satisfied with!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I've been using a Kirby that I bought back in 2001, still works great, running strong and worth every cent. But my kids love to help with chores and that vacuum was just too bulky. This cordless vacuum is exactly what we needed so the kids could help with chores. They're young, and at this point using the vacuum is still fun. And we all love this one. It's light enough for my 4 year old to push. I love the lock feature, otherwise he just turns it on and off again. This way it stays on and he cleans more. I love the second battery but I was surprised how long they last. My kids vacuumed for 3 days before the battery died. But having a backup is amazing. It also comes with little tools for crevices and whatnot. Works great for sofa/recliner seats. It also has more than 1 ‘speed' which I appreciate when picking up larger crumbs. I still love my Kirby but getting the kids involved with chores was a piece of cake when I showed them this vacuum. My son actually had a meltdown when I told him he couldn't do the living room floor before he finished his dinner. In a strange way, that's a total win in my book.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this since it had many accessories and an extra battery and was super excited to have a vacuum to use in between days I vacuum a lot. Tineco C3 Cordless Stick Vacuum - Custom Series, Gray is great for only dust and light vacuuming, this is not one if you have animals. It will fill up super fast and the battery wears down super fast as well.
