There is nothing there to discuss what to select between these tineco floor one models.
Speaking of the bigger tank capacities doesn’t help you that much unless your home is a large-sized one or you are in a house with loads of dirt everywhere.
And edge cleaning, yes. Of course, it helps a lot. We all know dust gathers in the edges and corners of the house.
And with a regular vacuum cleaner, it is much harder to reach those areas unless it is specially designed. In that case, Floor One S5 stands ahead.
