Having read many of the reviews about this vacuum there seemed to be two distinct camps either loving or hating it. I decided to take a leap of faith and purchase it and I am really glad I did!
To preface this review I also own a Dyson Motorhead which I also love, but wanted the Tineco for a different area of the house. I thought some comparisons might be useful to some.
Although I love the Motorhead, continually holding down the trigger was both seriously aggravating my tennis elbow and actually made my fingertip go numb! The Tineco has a switch which keeps the power on and has solved both these problems for me! The handle is a little more ergonomic with a rubberised grip too.
One reviewer mentioned how thoughtfully engineered both the packaging and the design of the vacuum - I agree! I am pleased with all the tools that came with the vacuum (and there are more sold separately); I admit I was a little dubious about the hard floor head, but was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Areas beneath cupboards that I previously had to first dry mop as the Dyson didn't shift the dust (sorry Dyson) is no longer the case as the Tineco hard floor head whips it right up! It's surprising how well this head also works on carpet, however, the carpet head really excels! I really love the small motorised head too - it makes vacuuming our cat tower a breeze and it does it so well. All the corners can then be gone over with the pointed nozzle.
I love the fact that the Tineco comes with two batteries rather than the Dyson single (and non-detachable) one. Often I would find the Dyson battery would leave me a room short on a vacuuming session; not the case with the Tineco! Some reviewers mentioned that the batteries didn't last long - I have had no problem with this; I simply made sure each one had a good overnight charge before I used them.
One reviewer mentioned that this vacuum doesn't have much suction; I have not experienced this at all - quite the reverse - especially using the carpet head. The suction (on the normal setting) will lift the edge of my rug, and I have not found the need to increase this to the max setting!
I am particularly impressed by the cleaning tool for the inner filter. The Dyson device has a similar filter and one is instructed to periodically rinse this under the tap - I do, but there never seemed to be anything worth rinsing to be honest. Now either this means that the dust was already in the main bin, or it wasn't filtering the dust as much as the Tineco...? Either way I was amazed when I decided to check the Tineco inner filter after the second session of vacuuming the whole house with the Tineco; it was coated in fine dust! I knocked most of this into the trash and used the cleaning tool for the remainder - great gadget!
I have to say, the Dyson wins on emptying the dust chamber! I like that the mechanism easily pushes out the wad of dust and cat hair. The Tineco opens the bottom of the chamber but the wad of hair needs some encouragement to drop into the trash! I found it's easiest to empty it before it gets too full and jammed in; that way a quick shake or tap makes the waste drop out easily.
I must admit the grey plastic stand is a little odd and I don't use it. You have to take the vacuum apart to house it in this stand, which is hardly convenient when you want to grab it for a quick clean up! I certainly prefer the Dyson gadget that attaches to the wall and simultaneously charges the battery. Additionally, the cupboard where I keep the vacuum et al is just a little too shallow to accommodate the stand anyway, so I am happy to keep the tools in the included drawstring bag and simply stand the vacuum in the cupboard ready to go.
All in all I am very happy with the Tineco; I would (and have) recommend it to friends. I think it is very good value for money and feel that my house is cleaner for using it!

Very well-thought-out design--convenient and works great (with caveat I overcame)
I did lots of comparison shopping before buying this (I actually bought 2--one for downstairs and one for upstairs).CONVENIENCE:We really like the convenience of this product. It handles our daily cleaning needs, and keeps our hard and carpeted floors looking tidy. We didn't buy it to do deep cleaning of our carpets, but it does a very good job of picking up surface debris from them, along with lots of dirt and dust. Without the cordless convenience, our floors would NOT be getting vacuumed daily, because we HATE dragging out the heavy vacuum, and dealing with the power cord. I bought extra batteries, so there's always a fully-charged spare for a quick switch-out on each unit.FEATURES:The power boost is handy for picking up stubborn objects (just be aware that things like needles, toothpicks, and pieces of dry spaghetti can clog the opening at the back of the brush head). The optional power switch lever is great for extended use without having to keep holding the trigger. The dust canister empties out very easily (push the button and the door drops open), and its filter can be pulled out of the pre-screening cylinder and cleaned without even opening the door. The hepa filter at the back of the unit is also easily removed for cleaning, although it rarely needs it.IMPORTANT NOTE:Recently, after 2.5 years of use, I realized that performance had greatly declined in our downstairs unit (which is the much more heavily used of the two). Even cleaning both filters with soap and water didn't help. But after pulling out the hepa filter again, I noticed that there's a cylindrical open-cell foam filter behind the round grill at the back of the compartment (see picture). I removed a total of 6 screws to get access to it, and pulled it out of its holding well. I discovered that the far side of it (toward the vacuum fan) was caked with a very thick layer of compacted dust. I cleaned it thoroughly with soap and water, let it dry, and reassembled. WOW, that made a HUGE difference! Now the vacuum has as much suction as when it was brand new! Although I can find very little fault with the overall design of this unit, it would have been awesome if they'd found a way to make that 3rd filter easily removable (assuming mine is not an isolated case).
