Post-Purchase Truths

Tineco: What to watch for

  • Maintenance

    Washable filters must air-dry for a full 24 hours before reassembly.

    Running the vacuum with a damp filter can damage the suction motor and cause musty odors, requiring an overnight wait or spare filter.

Dyson: What to watch for

  • Hardware Quirk

    Tiny 0.10-gallon dustbin requires emptying 2–3 times per cleaning.

    The compact canister fills up rapidly in homes with multiple shedding pets, interrupting cleaning flow.
