Even the smallest food spills on carpet can be a problem, and the longer you leave it the more set in it gets. If you live in a home with carpet, it pays to have a carpet spot cleaner around, like the Tineco Carpet One Spot. In this review I’m going to try it out to see how it works, what makes it different from other carpet cleaners, what it does well and not so well and I’ll wrap up by letting you know if I can recommend the Tineco Carpet One Spot to you.

What do you get with Tineco Carpet One Spot?
There are two key factors that set this carpet cleaner apart from the competition. One is that it is battery powered and rechargeable, meaning you can take it anywhere and not have to worry about finding a plug. The second thing is that it is largely automatically controlled and will sense stains and clean them accordingly. Tineco’s iLoop Smart Sensor Technology automatically adjusts roller speed and water flow according to the detected mess, and turns blue when the area is clean
In the box you’ll get the cleaner unit which has a medium length hose, a dock to recharge it on, plus a powered cleaning brush that does the work.
Just fill the clean water tank with water and the included cleaning solution to get started.
How does Tineco Carpet One Spot work?
The Tineco Carpet One Spot Cleaner is meant for only cleaning small areas of spill or stain. Because the cleaner head is small, it would take far too long to use it on large swaths of carpet.
It utilizes that special powered brush to eject a spray of water mixed with cleaner onto the dirty surface. Then the roller brush underneath scrubs the stain, while the vacuum suction removes excess and dirty water. Small screens both on the machine and on the brush head let you know what’s going on, as will the robot voice .
It can be used on both carpet and upholstery.
When you place the cleaner head over the stain, the machine uses Tineco’s iLoop smart sensor to detect the spill and then the machine will adjust itself to tackle the spill in the best way it can. You can make multiple passes over the spill to keep cleaning until the stain is gone.
There’s a spot clean mode, which seems to use more water and cleaner, and Auto mode which is more measured. There’s also an upholstery setting.
The back of the brush has a display that lets you see how much dirt the iLoop sensor detects. As the cleaning process progresses, you can see this in real time as the display turns from red (or dirty) to blue (clean). Tineco says the machine is adjusting both the water pressure and brushing intensity needed to get that stain out effectively.
Once the cleaning is done, you can insert the power brush into the self-cleaning box, and the Carpet One Spot will rinse the brush for you. Important to note is that you have to have the machine plugged in to run the self cleaning cycle and there needs to be more than 20% of the water in the clean water tank.
Testing Tineco Carpet One Spot
In order to test out this carpet, spot cleaner, I created a variety of tasks for it. The first was to simply clean up spilled coffee. The carpet one spot had no problem, removing almost all of a fresh spill from carpet.
Next, I tried something tougher… I spilled coffee and barbecue sauce on a piece of test carpet and let them both dry for over a week.
Because these coffee stains were set in it did take me a few passes, but it came extremely clean.
I did notice that because the machine seems to use a good amount of water and cleaner mix that I did need to refill the clean water tank often; probably three times in my test session here. I don’t necessarily think that’s a complaint since I’d rather keep refilling it, then have it be ineffective, but it might be a consideration for you.
Similarly, I never thought it would get out the dried in barbeque sauce, but the brush seem to do a really good job of saturating it to rehydrate it, then brush and suction it right out. When I was finished, the stain was completely gone.
