The Tineco A30S stands out as an exceptional value in the stick and handheld vacuum category, offering solid performance at an affordable price point of $319. With a motorized head, crevice tool, and a removable battery, it delivers everything you need in a modern vacuum cleaner, making it an unbeatable option for those on a budget.
To ensure thorough evaluations, we test devices in real home environments, using a panel system that includes four different households. After a week of testing, I review the product in-depth. As we wrap up testing on various techy cleaning devices at CyberShack, we have the chance to directly compare products—and the Tineco A30S has proven to be a strong contender.
Having recently tested the $599 Roborock H5 cordless stick vacuum, our panel inevitably compared it to the Tineco model. Although we typically refrain from commenting on price, the Tineco A30S at $319 (and currently on sale) offers a similar performance to the Roborock, making it an attractive alternative.
Panelist Feedback:
- Design: The Tineco A30S boasts a modern, futuristic look that resembles a Star Wars trooper’s blaster, which piqued the interest of many.
- User Experience: The vacuum features a trigger-free design, which users appreciated. It also comes with an LED light, although not equipped with the dust-detecting technology seen in Dyson models.
- Convenience: Panelists found it easy to empty, and the wall dock was a convenient addition, although charging didn’t require the dock.
- Filter and Performance: Equipped with a HEPA filter that captures particles as small as 3 microns, it showed a strong performance with 160 AW suction power.
- Battery: The removable battery can be easily replaced, with the added convenience of charging directly to the battery.
Performance:
In terms of performance, the Tineco A30S impressed the panel by outperforming the Roborock H5 on carpets while offering similar results on hard floors. A mini-brush for cleaning cars and mattresses would have been a nice addition, but overall, the Tineco scored highly for efficiency, ease of use, and cleaning capabilities.
While price isn’t the sole factor when evaluating vacuums, the Tineco A30S offers a great balance of quality and affordability, making it an excellent option for those seeking an effective yet budget-friendly cleaning solution.
