The products emphasize the integration of vacuuming and mopping into a single cordless experience, utilizing smart sensors, steam capabilities, and ergonomic designs to suit various home sizes and cleaning needs.
I'm here at Tineco's CES 2026 booth and I'm here with Nathan
who's going to be showing me some of their products.
Nathan, thanks for joining me. Nice to meet you.
So what do we got here to start?
This is our S9 Artist Steam.
Okay.
So this is one of the only, if not the first,
cordless steam floor washer.
You want to give it a spin?
I do want to give it a spin, yeah.
We have a bit of a mess here.
It is a bit of a mess.
Dog food on the floor.
I've been there many times.
Yeah.
Now this also features smart technology
that will automatically detect what's on the floor
and adjust the performance accordingly.
Oh, okay.
It'll tell you when the floor is dirty,
when it's clean and you can move on to the next.
That also allows you to maximize the run time.
It's putting down clean water and a cleaning
solution and it's keeping the dirty water
and the clean water separate the entire time. Wow.
You can also put it into steam mode.
So push this button here. Okay. So right now it's telling you
that it's preparing steam. Really, really good on tile.
Yeah. Really good in the bathrooms.
And you'll notice that it actually leaves it really quite dry.
All right, now what's really nice about this one
is it'll tell you if it needs to clean it.
So it wants you to clean the dirty
water tank, but you can also do this.
This is a heated drying system.
Okay, so you can push this button up here.
It goes into self-cleaning mode.
So what it's going to do is it's going to clean the brush roller,
you're going to hear it turn up,
it's going to clear the entire system,
and it's going to dry the roller then and dry out all the
internal systems with heated dry. Oh awesome, okay.
So it's ready to go the next time,
you don't have any risk, it minimizes anything with bacteria,
smells, all that kind of stuff.
And then the only thing you need to do is clean
the dirty water tank when you're done. Yeah.
Put it back in and it's ready to go. Awesome.
And the S9 Scientist, it's taking what the artist does
and just gives it a really cool aesthetic.
Yeah, so it's a really cool design, really tech-forward.
But functionality-wise, operates the same.
I can't say I've ever had this much fun vacuuming something
or cleaning something in my life, that's for sure.
Yeah, thanks for getting up all the footprints.
You're welcome.
Imagine you track in mud, you track in salt.
Dirt that you can't even see.
We had a campaign one time
and a lot of people started calling the dirty water tank for bitter
chocolate milk because they're like,
I didn't even realize it could be that dirty.
I didn't realize my floors were as dirty as they were.
Most people don't.
No, you don't.
Another thing that's different between the artists
and the scientists is that we're incorporating
the scraper that helps capture more of that water.
It's coming down only when you're pulling back.
And this is just so easy because it
combines tasks that you do separately.
You vacuum, you get out a mop in a bucket
or some other form of cleaning.
I don't even really vacuum downstairs anymore.
And I also use this on my low pile area rugs,
like on my entryway, refreshes them, cleans
them up really well too.
Not as primary purpose, it's primarily hard floor,
but it does work in that as well.
The design is nice enough where it can fit in seamlessly.
With your household, you don't have to hide them away.
The fact that it can just like sit there
and it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb,
so it makes it easy for you to grab it
and you don't have to go and like
stuff it in a closet somewhere.
You don't always have a plug in a closet, right?
So this thing can sit outside, it can look nice.
Quite honestly, everybody who comes over to our house
is like, what is this thing?
Can I get a demo?
And everyone's like, I need one, you know?
Makes it fun.
Cleaning up after parties is easy.
Yeah, I bet.
Cool, let's go check out some more stuff.
And now we have the Floor One S9 Master. So tell me about this.
So a lot of the same technologies,
a little bit more simplified, a little bit more cost effective
for people, but still a lot of the great technologies.
You still see the iLoop smart
sensor here, still has a heated dry.
What we really like about this model and the other models,
by placing the water tank at the head,
it improves the maneuverability, the ability to swivel.
Because it reduces the center of gravity,
which also means less weight on your wrist.
And you'll also notice that this has a green reveal light.
Yeah, I do.
That actually reveals more hidden dirt and dust.
Perfect.
Still has a quiet mode, that's great.
Still has a quiet mode, yep.
Heat mode.
Heat mode will dry the floor.
Auto will automatically adjust based on what it's sensing,
so it really does turn up the
suction, turns up the water and solution mix
when it's sensing that it needs to clean more.
And this also has a spray
so you can spray it on extra hard sticky surfaces.
Oh cool.
And all these models have more than enough run time
to basically clean an entire house.
And last but certainly not least,
we have the Floor One i7 Fold, and this one's talking a lot
about how lightweight it is. So can you tell me
a little more about that and the design?
Yeah, it's super lightweight.
It's also really great for small spaces, condos, apartments.
That's me.
What's really nice about
this is that it articulates, so you don't even have to
bend down to get under a couch, under a bed.
Still has all the same functionality,
but again, this is prioritizing convenience and weight.
Over absolute power, really, really good for small spaces.
So much easier.
So much easier, you don't have to bend all the way down.
And it'll articulate all the way down to the floor,
so you truly can get under any tight space, nook or cranny.
It has a wheel on the back,
and that's how you're not just like scratching your floor at the back,
and it's just smoothly gliding across the floor.
The whole thing is horizontal because of that
wheel. Same screen, same settings, so quiet mode here.
Yeah, again, no need to vacuum and mop,
does it all in one. Does it all in one,
yeah, and it's super foldable. I imagine
Probably take this with you places
if you wanted to, it's so lightweight.
What we at Tineco try to do is build products
that have functionalities for whatever your use case is,
right? Not everybody needs the big powerful workhorse.
Some people just need something
like this to get it clean
and we have products that any price range will work for you.
So that's Tineco's CES 2026 exhibit
and Nathan I can honestly say that might have been the most
fun I've ever had vacuuming and cleaning
which I didn't think I'd ever have fun doing that but
you guys make it so easy. Hey it's fun to clean
and you know I really appreciate you guys stopping
by and excited to bring these to market
and thanks for stopping by. Yeah thank you so much.
Appreciate it. Thank you very much.
