Already a fan of Tineco after reviewing the FLOOR ONE S6 Pro Extreme, I put the new S7 Stretch under the lifestyle lens. Lay-flat design, faster self-cleaning and strong running time make it the sweet spot for under $1,000.
I’ve liked Tineco since the S6 Pro Extreme won me over, as it was the first wet-dry vacuum that actually shortened my cleaning routine with pets and teens in the house.
The new FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch feels like the “do-everything” model pitched at busy, design-conscious homes that want fewer tools parked in the laundry and cleaner floors in fewer passes.
What’s new that matters
The headline feature is HyperStretch, a 180-degree lay-flat design that drops the body to about 13 cm so you can actually wash under low furniture rather than circle it like a nervous cat.
Add a 45-degree swivel for threading around chair legs and skirting, and it solves the single biggest pain point with stick wet-drys: reach.
Cleaning performance and edge work
DualBlock tackles two of the most annoying realities of family floors: hair tangles and grimy runoff - and believe me, we have a lot of both in our home.
A comb scraper captures hair before it winds into the roller, while a straight scraper wipes away the dirty water so you’re not redepositing muck.
Dual-sided edge cleaning helps along baseboards, so you don’t have to return with a cloth to finish corners.
Suction is quoted at 21 kPa and holds even when you’re cleaning in the lay-flat position.
The Tineco smarts you actually feel
Tineco’s iLoop sensor is still the brand’s secret sauce, adjusting water flow and suction automatically when it senses dirt. In practice, that means fewer manual mode changes and better battery budgeting on mixed mess days.
The MHCBS system keeps fresh water cycling through the brush while it mops, squeezing out debris into the dirty tank so you’re cleaning with clean water instead of pushing a grey film around.
Up to 50 minutes of run time and an upgraded pouch battery designed for longer life round out the everyday wins.
Self-cleaning that doesn’t smell like last week
If you’ve owned a wet-dry, you know the “day-after whiff.” The S7 Stretch answers with FlashDry: a one-button cycle that deep-cleans the pipes and brush with heated fresh water, then sealed drying at about 85°C to pull moisture out in roughly five minutes.
Tineco says the upgraded system improves cleaning efficiency by 23 per cent. In plain English, it’s faster to reset and far less likely to develop that musty odour.

Daily usability
Weight and balance feel tuned for quick laps around the kitchen after breakfast, and the manoeuvrability is noticeably better under couches.
The three-chamber dirty-water separation helps maintain power when flat to the floor, which keeps the pass count down. It’s still a floor washer first, so think sealed hard floors rather than rugs, but as an all-in-one for kitchens, hallways and the pet highway to the garden, it earns its cupboard space.
Price and where to buy
The RRP is $999 in black. It’s available via Tineco’s online store and major retailers including JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Bing Lee, Retravision, Mobileciti, Tech Sales Online and MyDeal.
If you’re weighing S7 Stretch versus the pricier S9 Artist models, this is the value play that has the features you’ll need every day.
Verdict
For households that liked the S6 Pro Extreme’s smarter clean but want better reach and a faster reset, the S7 Stretch is the sensible step up.
The lay-flat profile is genuinely useful, the self-clean is quicker and drier, and the edge work is stronger. Under $1,000, it’s an easy recommendation for busy homes with pets and people who hate mopping almost as much as they love a spotless kitchen.
Disclosure: I have previously reviewed and recommended Tineco’s FLOOR ONE S6 Pro Extreme, and I remain a fan of the brand’s approach to smart floor care for pet-and-people households. I was not paid for this review.
