Tineco has just expanded its floorcare range in Australia to include the all new Carpet One Cruiser, an exciting new carpet cleaner developed to make everyday carpet care at home both effortless and effective.

The new carpet cleaner utilises Tineco’s signature cleaning technologies like one-button dry self-cleaning services, and smart sensor technology, as well as integrating new technologies to improve cleaning experiences.
- Powerful cleaning: Strong suction of up to 130W ensures deep carpet cleaning and effective extraction (88% more when compared to competitor models) of water residue. Coupled with Tineco’s new, optimised pre-treat formula to break down tough stains and dirt before the primary purification process, the Carpet One Cruiser offers an effective, deep carpet clean.
- Effortless use: Three levels of SmoothPower tech, bidirectional assist wheels, and repositioned water tanks which reduce the unit’s weight allow for intuitive pushing and pulling across various carpet types, making the machine easy to manoeuvre, suitable for users of all ages and strengths, and ideal for frequent use. Plus, included attachments offer enhanced results in hard-to-reach areas.
- Efficient drying: 75°C high-temperature PowerDry uses heated air to significantly accelerate the drying process, preventing mould and mildew growth, and almost immediate use of cleaned areas. Using ultra-heated drying mode, the Carpet One Cruiser can reduce drying times by 50% or more than traditional models.
- Complete self-cleaning system: For hands-free maintenance, the Carpet One Cruiser features Tineco’s proprietary FlashDry Technology – an automatic, two-minute self-cleaning cycle that flushes the brush, suction inlet and roller cover, followed by a five-minute 55°C flash drying cycle that completely dries each component, preventing odours.
- iLoop smart sensor: For thorough cleaning and extended runtime, iLoop Smart Sensors automatically adjust water flow and suction power based on the level of dirt and debris detected.
- Portable spot cleaner: Hard-to-reach places are easier to clean with the Carpet One Cruiser’s additional stain-remover tool.
Available at Harvey Norman, RRP $999.
