Tineco just dropped a new floor cleaner — and it has the one feature I've always wanted

Tom's Guide13-05-2025
Tineco's latest wet and dry floor cleaner has just solved my biggest problem when cleaning.
The Tineco Floor ONE S7 Stretch Ultra Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner for $699 is designed with a 180° Flex Design that fully reclines. This means it can completely lay flat to reach under beds, couches, or other tight spaces.
More importantly, this will offer a more thorough clean to reach hidden dust or dirt, without the need to move heavy furniture out of the way, which I've always struggled with.
In addition, this smart washer comes with iLoop Smart Sensor Technology that automatically adjusts suction pressure and water flow to the type of messes you're cleaning. So you'll never miss any spots!
This 3 in 1 mop, vacuum and self cleaning smart floor washer with iLoop Smart Sensor, has three cleaning modes. Its 180° Lay-Flat Design means that it can fully recline to reach under low furniture, making cleaning a breeze. It also features a DualBlock Anti-Tangle Design, FlashDry self-cleaning, and up to 50 minutes runtime.
If you have mainly hard flooring, a wet and dry vacuum cleaner can be a lifesaver, and I certainly can't live without mine.
Not only do they have the suction power of some of the best vacuum cleaners, are more hygienic, but can save you the time-consuming task of traditional mopping.
I've tested my fair share of wet and dry floor cleaners, but there's one common gripe I've always experienced —they can't quite get under low furniture or tackle hard-to-reach spots.
Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
So I'm excited to find a wet and dry cleaner that finally can reach deep under furniture to pick up wet and dry spills, without the need to move my couch.
The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra is certainly an impressive upgrade from Tineco's Floor One S5 Extreme Smart Cordless Vacuum, which I've previously tested.
Perhaps the highlight is its 180° Lay-Flat Design, which reclines to go flat, and fully extends underneath low-rise furniture or hidden spots. Its Dual Block Anti-Tangle design captures stubborn hair without having to clean a tangled mess — ideal for pet owners.
Other new features include an upgraded FlashDry self-cleaning system that now uses a higher 185 degrees F heated water and hot air to dry in just five minutes. Which ensures top hygiene and maintenance — so you don't have to get your hands dirty! The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra also promised up to 50 minutes battery life, which is always handy when you're covering the entire home.
Similar to previous models, the iLoop smart sensor instantly adjusts water flow, suction, and brush roller speed, depending on how dirty your floors are, so you'll never waste water as you clean.
So if you want to make cleaning floors less back-breaking, Tineco's FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra is a game-changer.
The FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra is now available for $699 on Amazon and on the Tineco online store.

Casabrews has changed the game with the $249 Ultra espresso machine — it has one surprising feature I've never seen before

Casabrews is one of the most famous budget coffee brands of the last few years. Considering it's only been around since 2020, that's no mean feat. The manufacturer's known for cheap and cheerful espresso machines, and the new Casabrews Ultra is no different. It's $249, which makes it one of the most affordable machines on the market. So there has to be something wrong with the Casabrews Ultra, right? Well… it's definitely suited to a certain kind of barista — one who has no need for a steam wand. Someone who drinks either iced lattes or black Americanos… because the steam wand is very poor. Anyway, I digress. Could the affordable price be enough of a trade-off? Could the Casabrews Ultra still be one of the best espresso machines? I'll discuss everything in this Casabrews Ultra review. Price $249 / £199 Weight 13.5 pounds Grinder No Dimensions 12.2 x 10.3 x 12.9 inches Heating system Thermoblock Pressure 20-bar Water tank capacity 73 ounces Accessories Scoop & tamper, separate tamper The Casabrews Ultra is $249 from Amazon U.S. and £199 from Amazon U.K.. This price makes it one of the cheapest espresso machines on the market, let alone espresso machines with a PID controller and temperature customization. Casabrews makes a whole range of budget-friendly espresso machines, including the Casabrews 5418, $169 from Amazon and the Casabrews 3700, $129 from Amazon. Casabrews' priciest machine is the $474 Casabrews 5700Pro, which has a built-in grinder. As I mentioned briefly above, the Casabrews Ultra has a PID controller. If you don't know what this is, it's basically a nifty bit of tech built into the machine that actively controls water temperature. Usually PID controllers are only found on pricier machines (one of the cheapest I've ever found is the Breville Bambino Plus, $499), so Casabrews' PID inclusion here is very unique. Considering the Casabrews Ultra is just $249, it looks surprisingly good. Yes, it's pretty lightweight and flimsy, but in terms of baseline appearance? It's not too shabby. I will note that the stainless steel chassis is prone to tarnishing — there's a small dark mark on the front of the machine after brewing just 15 or so drinks. The machine has four buttons: single shot, double shot, hot water, and steam wand. Yes, turning on the steam wand uses a button, not a knob or a dial. This is similar to the Smeg ECF02 espresso machine. I'll discuss the steam wand in full in the 'Milk' section below, but here's a little foreshadowing:… and I did not like the Smeg machine. The Casabrews Ultra has another unique design feature: the LED screen. This screen is used for customizing temperature, and it also has a timer! Yes, it counts precisely how long espresso takes to extract. This is one of the best things about this machine, hands down. However, the screen isn't all good. Despite having descale warnings, the screen seems to be incapable of showing water tank levels. Once, I was wondering why my espresso shot wasn't extracting (it can't be the grind size, I thought, because this grind worked earlier) and it was just because the water tank was empty. Why's there no alert on the screen? It doesn't make sense. The rest of the machine is as expected: the water tank has a 73-ounce capacity, the drip tray has a red tab that pops up when it's full, and it has a completely metal exterior. I also like the circular groove on the top of the machine, which holds the tamper perfectly. Before using the Casabrews Ultra for drinks, I ran about 150 ounces of water through the machine to clean out the insides. Other users have reported a slightly metallic taste to the espresso and hot water. I thought this might've been due to manufacturing residue, so I flushed out the internal mechanisms completely before using. I'll discuss Casabrews' recommendation for dose and portafilter now. Just as a pre-warning, do not follow Casabrews' advice. It was not yummy. Casabrews recommends a dose of 18-21g for the double shot portafilter. I dosed 18g every single time and had tasty shots, if a little bitter. Upping the dose to 21g resulted in overfilling the portafilter. I don't know where this recommended measure came from, but I would never do it. Casabrews provides a single and dual walled portafilter in both single and double size, but I only used the single-walled portafilter. It goes without saying that I would never recommend using a dual-walled portafilter as it physically cannot pull real espresso. I'll walk you through my routine so you can see how easy the Casabrews Ultra is to use. Using my Eureka Mignon Specialita, I ground my light-roasted Tanzanian coffee espresso-fine. It took me a while to dial in the correct grind: initially the grind was too fine and wasn't extracting at all, then it was too coarse and sour. I'd say it took me about four shots to perfect the grind size for these beans. Once I had my beans dialled in, I had no issues switching between different coffees. I also tested with some Rwandan beans, which required a finer grind than the Tanzanian, and the Ultra handled that deftly. Here's a photo of a shot I pulled on the Casabrews Ultra. I didn't alter the machine's settings: this is the default dose. I dosed 18.7g of finely-ground coffee, tamped, and pressed the double shot button. The Ultra stopped extraction at 64g of espresso, which is about a 1:3.5 ratio rather than the ideal 1:2 ratio. The shot was quite bitter, but overall tasted good when mixed with oat milk. Next, I manually pulled my shot. With my Fellow Tally Pro scale, I allowed the Ultra to extract until the scale read 37g. Unfortunately the shot kept dripping even after I pressed stop, which made the shot increase to 43g before I removed the cup. This espresso shot was much tastier than its predecessor: it was acidic and bright without being sour, and had no bitterness whatsoever. I would recommend reprogramming the Ultra's dose to under 40g to prevent the bitter burned notes from coming out. It's easy to do this with a bit of button-pressing, just as easy as on the Breville Bambino Plus. After the success with espresso extraction, I had high hopes for the steam wand performance too. Unfortunately, these hopes were quite quickly dashed. I have nothing positive to say about this steam wand, so strap in I guess. Firstly, the wand itself is quite stiff: I found it tricky to raise and lower, which meant I couldn't get a good angle for aerating. Secondly, it takes a while to switch between espresso and steaming. I had to wait up to about 30 seconds to purge my steam wand and then a further few seconds until the steam was dry enough to use. Thirdly, the wand itself is very weak. Fortunately the steam is quite dry, but it's not pressurized enough to generate velvety microfoam. I found it really difficult to blend in the larger bubbles and create the necessary 'vortex' for aeration. The steam wand wasn't powerful enough to blend the wet and dry layers of milk to create microfam. The steam wand is nothing compared to even the $149 De'Longhi Stilosa, let alone the best steam wand I've ever used: the $1,800 Smeg Mini Pro. Surprisingly, I found oat milk easier to steam than cow milk; usually it's the other way around. Still, the oat milk drinks I made were nowhere near as good as I would have liked, and I was completely disappointed by the Casabrews Ultra. Here's a shot of the best drink I made on the Ultra, and this is after about 20 drinks worth of practice. As you can see, the bubbles are large and many. The latte art is nonexistent (and I can do latte art). The texture was off. My coworkers reported that the milk was one of two things: 1) it reminded them of the milk they used to make when they were inexperienced (ouch), and 2) it was separated into wet and dry layers. In short, I wouldn't recommend this machine for latte lovers. I'd stick to something like the $499 Bambino Plus or the $149 De'Longhi Stilosa for decent milk texture. Maybe the Casabrews Ultra is just for iced latte girlies and brooding, enigmatic Americano drinkers. As the Casabrews Ultra is just 12x13 inches, it's pretty compact (all things considered). I was able to fit this nicely on my office kitchen counter. I especially like that the top of the machine is wide and flat to store a milk jug, the group handle, and the tamper without taking up further counter space. The drip tray is quite small: I had to empty it after about every 5 drinks. For me in the office, that was half a morning of making everyone coffees. If you're using this machine at home, I'd recommend cleaning the drip tray every day regardless of the amount of drinks made. You don't want to have stagnant nasty water in your house, lest you attract bugs and other unwanted creatures. The drip tray itself is metal, which means it'll likely last longer than an all-plastic tray. In terms of maintenance, Casabrews sells a $49 ' insurance package. You also get a 1-year warranty with the Ultra as standard. The De'Longhi Linea is $229, and is a touch smaller, at 11 x 12 inches. If you're very tight on space, it might be worth checking out. However, it doesn't have a PID controller and I haven't personally tested it, so I can't comment on its brewing abilities. Of the espresso machines I have reviewed, I must mention the Breville Bambino Plus. This tiny machine is $499, so almost double the price of the Casabrews Ultra, but oh boy is it a level up. It's got a PID controller, like the Casabrews Ultra, but the steam wand is actually legendary. It can aerate beautiful microfoam, much, much better than the Casabrews Ultra. The Bambino Plus also has an auto-froth feature for the more hands-off baristas in your life. If you want to save as much $$$ as you can, I'd recommend the De'Longhi Stilosa. It's just $149, and utterly excellent. While the U.S. version only comes with dual-walled portafilters, you can easily get third-party single-walled ones. I will always recommend the Stilosa as the best value espresso machine out there. The Casabrews Ultra is a good machine, but it's not a great machine. If it was just an espresso machine — sans steam wand — I'd be more inclined to call the Ultra a great machine. It's got the makings of everything I want: a built-in timer, a PID controller, and a 58mm portafilter. However, the inferior steam wand majorly affects the rating. I was unable to craft barista-quality drinks. Gone was my ability to latte art. Gone was my ability to microfoam. It's not a skill issue: any other machine, I'm more than capable of doing this. As a result, I'd mostly recommend this machine for ice latte lovers, black Americano enthusiasts, or simply those who want an espresso machine for cheap and don't necessarily care about latte art. For me, though? I think I'd go for the De'Longhi Stilosa.

BLUETTI AC70 Power Station drops to an all-time low price

I am a big fan of these 'relatively portable' power stations. Their place in the market is solidifying right between the ultra-portable and the ultra-high-capacity models. You can easily take them places, but they are pretty powerful. If you're looking for one of these middle-of-the-ground batteries, there's currently a really nice sale on the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station. Buy the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station for just $328.99 ($270.01 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but you must keep in mind it is an Amazon Prime-exclusive sale. You can learn about Prime plans and pricing here. Also, new members get a free 30-day trial! You might not even have to pay to get access to this discount, and you can also look into next week's hot Prime Day sales. The BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station is usually $599. This is a 45% discount! It's easily one of the best power station deals I've seen in a while. The unit may be small at 12.4 × 8.2 × 10.1 in and relatively light at 22.5 lbs, but it is pretty capable. For starters, it has a 768Wh battery capacity. To put things into perspective, that's enough to power a fridge for nearly eight hours, a projector for six hours, or a blender for over an hour straight. Not that small devices would be a worry, but it can also charge an average phone about 24 times. And it can handle those higher-power appliances, as it has a max output of 1,000W stable and 2,000W surges. It also comes with a nice selection of ports, considering its size. You'll get two AC outlets, two 100W USB-C ports, a couple of 12W USB-A ports, and a car socket. There's also a DC input with support for up to 500W of solar panel recharging, just in case you really want to go off-grid. Another great feature is that it supports UPS, which means you can leave devices connected to it, and if there is an outage, the system will switch to battery power in 0.02 seconds. Your connected appliances will continue running without interruption! Want in on this deal? This is pretty much an early Prime Day deal, so go secure your own power station if you have made up your mind. You never know if stock will run out. It's also a record-low price, and those sales don't tend to last long.
