It’s a bit leaky. It’s normal for carpet cleaners to release some residual water from the cleaner head after shutoff (keep an old towel handy). The Tineco Carpet One Smart generally leaked less than other models we tested. But we found out the hard way that it can leak violently if you don’t properly secure the brush roll cover of the cleaner head after removing it for cleaning. One long-term tester found the brush roll cover can dislodge during use, causing rapid leaking. (It’s a good idea to keep plenty of towels on hand.)

It’s easy to mix up buttons and pedals. During testing, we kept mixing up the power and cleaning-mode buttons, because of their proximity. Our testers also tended to accidentally step on the more prominent dirty-water-tank release pedal instead of the recline pedal. But these mishaps are easy to avoid with practice. One long-term tester has found that sometimes the machine won’t turn on, inexplicably; usually, pressing and releasing the on/off button a few times will get it to eventually boot up. Apart from this, our provided machines are available at very affordable prices. Here is the list of household and commercial carpet cleaner machine.

Its Wi-Fi connectivity and app are iffy. The Tineco Carpet One Smart can connect to Wi-Fi, allowing you to turn on the machine and select cleaning modes using an app. But after three hours of trying—with the help of a customer service rep, two testers, an IT specialist, and a network engineer—we determined that our testing unit was incapable of connecting to our 2.4 GHz network and, thus, to the mobile app. (The machine generally can’t connect to 5 GHz networks.) Luckily, this issue doesn’t impact cleaning performance, since all of the machine’s functions can be controlled with its buttons. One long-term tester has never bothered to connect the Tineco machine to her home’s Wi-Fi network and hasn’t found it impacts functionality.

It’s loud. All carpet cleaners are noisy, and, although one of the quieter machines we tested, the Tineco model is no exception. During cleaning, it can be hard to hear the voice prompts over the roar of the machine. It’s heavy. While it is generally more comfortable and convenient to handle than other carpet cleaners, this one weighs almost 5 pounds more than our budget pick, which makes it harder to lug it up and down stairs.
