Our favorite wet-dry vacuum is 40% off right now on Amazon

Spring is the perfect time to upgrade your cleaning appliances, and one of the best places to start is with a versatile vacuum. Tineco’s line of smart wet-dry vacuums are ideal for tackling food spills, crumbs and leaks on hardwood floors and more, giving you two appliances in one. Right now, the brand’s Floor One S3 vacuum is 40% off on Amazon. The multifaceted appliance has the capabilities of both a mop and an cordless upright vacuum, but it won’t be on sale for long. Below, I talk more about the vacuum’s features and how you can work into your cleaning schedule this spring.

Tineco Floor One S3 Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum

4.1-star average rating from 33,035 reviews on Amazon

Tineco’s Floor One S3 does more than your average vacuum. It’s a wet-dry vacuum, meaning it cleans just like an absorbent microfiber mop and an upright vacuum with thorough suctioning. It has two separate water tanks — one for clean water and another for dirty — and has a screen that displays the tool’s cleaning status (for example, debris detection mode), runtime (it has a maximum of 35 minutes), adjustable suction power and symbols to indicate maintenance alerts. It also comes with a charging base, cleaning solution, HEPA filter, brush roller and handheld cleaning tool.

NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez has a similar model from Tineco (the iFloor Breeze 3), and says that it only takes roughly 10 minutes to clean her entire two-bedroom apartment. “I sweep before using my Tineco so by the time I actually need to use it, it can effectively get the things my broom missed and focus on cleaning my floors,” she says. “When I’m finished, I can see just how clean it made my floors by looking at them and also seeing how much the dirty water tank got filled.”
