Mopping the floor is one of those chores many of us like to put off until the task is inevitable. This would be much less of a chore if you had something as easy to use as a vacuum, especially if it was cordless and always ready to use. Fortunately for you and me, Tineco has built a machine to do exactly that.

The Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam is the latest model from an innovative company that has been pushing the boundaries of home care with its clever floor cleaning machines for more than two decades. And while the array of devices Tineco offers may be great, it's the Floor One S9 Artist Steam that I will be concentrating on for now. After a couple of weeks putting it through its paces, I have come to question why I never had a machine like it until now, because it really is pretty impressive.

Although the Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam did not show up in a stark white glossy box perfectly designed to impress, it reserved its moment for later. The first thing I noticed in assembling this specimen was the minimal parts list I was meant to deal with in my quest for a clean floor. With a clean and dirty water tank already snugly affixed to the S9 Artist Steam, all that was left for me to do was to insert the handle into the chassis to make a complete cleaning machine. The only other bits in the box were the charging base, a cleaning brush, a spare roller, and a booklet with instructions for use, making the assembly process as pain free as automatic bill pay.

This makes getting started a breeze. Although it is recommended to get a full charge before using, mine came out of the box with ample battery life and was up and running within minutes. Aesthetically, it is a nice machine, and while it is made for cleaning hard surfaces with water, it looks and feels very much like a traditional vacuum, making it familiar territory. While it comes with a user manual full of details, you might not need it, as the small color screen and four buttons make its operation mostly foolproof.

While trying to avoid unfurling a litany of useless specifications, I will highlight some of the S9 Artist Steam's many impressive measurable traits and why you might care. For example, Tineco says that the steam function raises the steam temperature up to 284 degrees Fahrenheit to power through stubborn stains, and it can also get under just about anything due to its 180-degree lay-flat design. Should you use that last feature to venture under a bed or low-slung table, the wraparound LED headlight can help you in finding lost treasures left behind by your toddler. And thanks to its upgraded pouch cells, a type of lithium battery, you can enjoy a runtime of up to 75 minutes, or about 15 minutes more than you ever want to spend cleaning your floors anyway.

Tineco also boasts of its triple-sided edge cleaning, MHCBS constant clean-brush mopping technology, iLoop smart sensor, and FlashDry self-cleaning system. These work together to keep the roller brush continuously moving to pull whatever it can off the floor while leaving a dry surface behind it, followed by a complete cleaning cycle when you are finished using it. Furthermore, the iLoop sensor automatically detects the level of clean needed, adjusting water pressure and suction accordingly. But perhaps most importantly, it is self-propelled and equipped with an aerospace-grade gyroscope to make using it feel effortless. Pushing and pulling on this cleaner takes little effort while you can feel the power, making maneuvering equally facile.

The long and short of it is that this makes keeping your floors clean nearly effortless. Much in the way you pull out a vacuum to do a full sweep of your carpet or to just tidy up a spot, the S9 Artist Steam functions in practically the same way. I found myself using it to clean up small messes and for full cleaning of entire rooms at various times. Dumping the dirty water is a breeze, with one button to release the tank and a single-action lever to remove the top and empty the contents. Equally simple is filling the fresh water tank located directly above the brush roller. Furthermore, with its quick-charging base, battery life is rarely a concern.

What I found uniquely effortless is cleaning the brush roller, made from a fluffy felt-like material that seems to be more effective than a traditional bristle brush. It can be removed from the side after releasing a single clip, making it simple to clean or replace. And because of this design, all hair picked up gets swept away and sucked into the tank, leaving no tangled mess to pick apart from a bristly brush.

The S9 Artist Steam is the top tier offering from Tineco, and when you see it in person, its quality becomes apparent. The sleek and minimalist design gives it a professional look, while its heft provides a literal feeling of quality much in the way you feel it in a fine watch. Foremost, its performance shines brightest in how the S9 Artist Steam can keep your home looking its best.

If you have been looking for a way to keep your hard surface floors cleaner without the hassle of ineffective mops, I would recommend the Tineco S9 Artist Steam. Let this high-power steam cleaner work for you. You can find out more on Tineco's website.
