Which brand to buy

Self-maintenance is Tineco's angle; raw carpet pickup is Hoover's. Cordless sticks are where they meet, and the matchups pair up roughly by price: the Hoover ONEPWR Emerge Cordless Stick Vacuum at $200 against the Tineco Pure One S11 at $179 or the Tineco Pure ONE S30 at $299, and the Hoover ONEPWR Emerge Pet at $330 against the Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 at $459. Hoover's ONEPWR Evolve Pet, which sold at $150, is now discontinued. Tineco also sells a range of hard-floor washers to Hoover's one; Hoover sells corded uprights and a handheld.

Evolve Pet owners say it cleans carpet like a full-size upright and value the ONEPWR battery that moves between Hoover tools. Its faults are a plastic handle that cracks, roughly 12 minutes of carpet runtime, and a brushroll that tangles with long hair. Pure One S11 owners praise the iLoop sensor that idles on clean floors and surges over dirt, stretching the battery, though they still get 25 to 30 minutes against a rated 40, and the stock head scatters cereal and litter on hard floors. The Station 5 goes further than any Hoover: its dock empties the bin and washes and dries the brushroll, though owners say 175 AW falls short on thick carpet and the station is bulky.

Tineco's floor washers, such as the Tineco iFloor 5 Breeze Complete at $300 and the Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam at $749, far outnumber Hoover's single FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner ($180); Tineco Floor One S5 owners do report poor warranty service.

Buy Hoover for carpet-heavy, pet-heavy homes. Buy Tineco for mostly hard floors, a sensor-driven stick, or a washer that mops as it vacuums.
