Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about longest autonomy for a cordless steam floor cleaner (30 minutes in steam mode). — just accept detergent cannot be used in steam mode, requiring users to switch modes and empty the tank to use cleaning solutions..
The reviewer concludes that the Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro offers excellent battery autonomy, particularly its 30 minutes in steam mode, which is superior to competitors and sufficient for cleaning large homes. They praise its effectiveness at degreasing and removing tough stains with 160-degree steam, its rapid charging, and ergonomic design, acknowledging it is a high-priced but aesthetically pleasing and competitive product.
This video reviews the Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro, a cordless steam floor washer, focusing on its battery autonomy, steam cleaning efficacy, and unique features. The reviewer conducts real-world tests and discusses its design, charging, and maintenance, comparing it to other cleaning methods and products.
The Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro is a highly effective cordless steam floor washer, recommended for deep cleaning and large homes. It achieves an impressive 30 minutes of steam cleaning, allowing the reviewer to thoroughly clean four rooms multiple times on a single charge. Its unique Reverse Scrub mode provides extra scrubbing power by reversing the roller's direction for 15 seconds, making it effective against stubborn dirt. However, the inability to use detergent in steam mode means users must switch modes and empty the tank for chemical cleaning. If you prioritize chemical-free deep cleaning with steam and require extensive cordless runtime for a larger living space, this device is an excellent investment. If your primary need is regular detergent-based cleaning or if you are on a strict budget, other models might offer a more suitable solution.

The reviewer's real-world test demonstrated that the Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro's battery lasted 31 minutes in steam mode, which was enough to clean four rooms and a corridor multiple times. They concluded that this autonomy is more than sufficient for cleaning even large homes of 200 m², especially considering the efficiency of motorized rollers compared to traditional mopping.
The reviewer specifically highlights that the vapor feature, operating at 160 degrees, is excellent for degreasing and removing complicated sticky and greasy stains that might be missed by traditional floor washers or robot vacuums. This provides effective, chemical-free disinfection.
The reviewer states that Tineco explicitly advises against using any detergent, even official ones, in steam mode because it can damage the internal boiler. If you wish to use detergent, you must use the normal cleaning mode and ensure the clean water tank is emptied before switching to steam mode.
The Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro boasts a rapid charging technology that allows its 6250 mAh battery to go from 0 to 100% in just 3.5 hours. This is significantly faster than other floor washers, which typically take 4.5 hours for a full charge.
The Tineco S9 Artist Steam Pro stands out with its exclusive "reverse scrub" mode, which makes the front roller change direction for about 15 seconds to provide more intensive scrubbing. Additionally, its primary unique feature is the use of 160-degree steam for effective degreasing and chemical-free disinfection.
The device features an automatic self-cleaning function on its base, which uses hot water to clean the rollers. Users can choose between a 5-minute or a 40-minute drying cycle (the latter being slower and quieter) for convenient and hygienic maintenance.
The reviewer states that while steam generally works on wooden floors, users should be careful not to stay on one spot for too long to avoid marks. For wooden floors, they recommend using the normal cleaning mode or the reverse scrub mode, which are gentler options.
