This vacuum comes with 2 of those pre filters and a pre-filter cleaner I have one and love it lol

Thanks for that posting this .. My S12 kept shutting off and it was because of the filter being clogged. Running like a champ now.

That’s why most of these come with an extra filter so you’ll always have a clean one…👍🏼👍🏼

might sound strange but to clean my A10 Hero filter I actually use Maguiers heavy duty cleaner its made for cars but breaks down dirt and grime incredibly well so much so that my filters almost look brand new afterwards

Your video was very helpful. I learned two things, one is that I don't have to open the bin to clean out the filter. And, secondly, I should always be checking airflow before I begin vacuuming. Unfortunately, I have a multitask power brush roller with a badly soiled plastic cover. I am trying to figure out how to clean it. Thanks.

There is no stick or robot vacuum that can properly clean pile carpets. You'll need a higher airflow, higher agitation upright for that.

The suckiest thing about all stick vacs that aren’t a Dyson (as they have really good prefilter cyclone systems) is this- this pre filter needs to be cleaned every two canister dumps. So, 1/3rd of of my use of this otherwise wonderful tineco vacuum is cleaning the pre filter. I thankfully have a model that includes the “filter cleaner” which basically swaps dirt between your two filters it comes with. It’s laughable, but it works.

Yes we find that the filter cleaner works surprisingly well, most of the dirt actually ends up in the basket not on the other filter. If you use it more than once on each filter they BOTH get cleaner.

This is why cordless stick vacs need a good cyclone system more than even a full-sized machine. People who use cordless vacs often like your friend do so for the convenience, and having to wash the filter more often than once a month doesn't cut it. I don't know why Tineco opted for basically nothing beyond the steel shroud in terms of finer cyclonic action (even though they include their bizzaro filter cleaning attachment) - even my cheapo Eureka Stylus has a decent dual cyclone setup.

amazing how Tineco got to this success and advanced cordless vacuums with this kind of filtration design. in fairness, Dyson has similar filtration in the V6 or V8 but that's old and Dyson moved on.

The filters inevitably gradually clog up over time and eventually cannot be cleaned, so getting them as clean as new is basically impossible. Still, brushing off the outside, and soaking them in warm water for a few hours really, really helps, as does rinsing off the outside with warm water, and then drying thoroughly.

@@VacLab Well, we frequently used the Tineco cleaning device, we washed them thoroughly, but in the end (after several years), we still got the blocked indication. Then we got new filters and the blocked indication went away. Filters do have a finite (if long) life when properly taken care of. Presumably eventually enough debris gets tangled into the filter and it won't wash out.

It's possible you may be over-using this vacuum. The original owner still has this machine and is still using the original filter. Stick vacs should only be used for small, infrequent sessions and never as a substitute for a full power upright or canister. In the worst cases of abuse, which I see frequently, the filter must be submerged in a mild detergent for up to 24 hrs, then quick dried with heat or direct sunlight. I've made many videos showing this procedure.

I've been trying to get up to work and from the looks of it, it just seems like the filter that goes in the bottom just clogs up really easily. Like insanely easy. Either that or my carpet just has so much dust in it that after vacuuming it for only a few minutes it clogs it up.

quel tipo di filtro va lavato sotto acqua corrente e usarne uno di ricambio e quello lasciarlo asciugare, inoltre va lavato anche l'altro filtro, in alternativa si puo ascigare col phon.....
