Since I began testing the Tineco Pure One Station 5, I've reached for it for everyday messes over any other vacuum at home. It's proven to be outstanding at picking up pet hair from any surface and debris of various sizes. It even picks up random things that my upright vacuum spits out, like lollipop sticks and juice box straw wrappers.

When I began using the Tineco Pure One Station 5, the first thing that caught my attention was the bright green light illuminating its path. Although it initially seemed gimmicky, it proves invaluable the more you vacuum with it.
The green light shows you every single strand of hair, speck of dust, and minuscule crumb on your floors -- and is rather depressing, showing me each and every dent and scratch on my hardwood floors -- but it works to ensure you don't miss anything.
I tested the Tineco Pure One Station 5 on all levels: Eco, Auto, and High. Eco is a power-saving mode that can handle easy jobs and pick up crumbs after snack time, while High is the strongest suction mode, strong enough to outperform my upright corded vacuum and pick up stuck-on pet hair from rugs and carpets.
Auto mode uses the Tineco iLoop smart sensor to detect the amount of dust and debris on your floors and automatically adjust the suction power.
This vacuum uses 175W of suction power on its highest setting, and the multi-surface brush roller spins up to 3,000 times per minute. The floor brush roller is designed with V-shaped bristles to pick up hair and debris and direct it to the nozzle without getting stuck. It also uses a dual-comb design to detangle hair clumps as the roller spins to prevent pet hair from tangling up the roller.
