Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Levoit LVAC-300 | Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $229.99 | $449.00 |
| Release Year | 2025 | 2025 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld | Cordless wet-dry hard-floor washer — it vacuums and washes sealed hard floors, and is not a carpet vacuum |
| Suction (as published) | 90 air watts. Levoit publishes air watts, so it is directly comparable with Dyson's 240 AW rather than a Pa figure | 21 kPa sealed suction with a 230 W motor rating. Tineco publishes no air-watt figure, so this cannot be compared directly with the dry sticks here |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 60✓ | 50 |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 12 | Not published by the manufacturer — Tineco quotes 50 minutes and does not break it down by Auto, Max or Suction mode |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Levoit states the attachment for each figure: 60 minutes in Eco with the crevice tool, 40 minutes in Standard with the vacuum head or motorised brush, and 12 minutes in Turbo. The 60-minute headline is the non-powered tool | Unlike a dry stick there is no non-powered-tool inflation here: the roller motor always runs on a washer, so the 50 minutes is the machine as sold. Tineco still publishes no Max-mode figure |
| Removable Battery | Yes — detachable 3000 mAh pack with three LED cells, charges attached or removed | No — the 7-cell 3,900 mAh pack is internal and not user-swappable |
| Spare Battery | Not published by the manufacturer. Note the LVAC-200 and LVAC-300 packs are not interchangeable | Not applicable — the battery is not user-replaceable |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Wall-mount bracket included and it needs screws, but the vacuum free-stands without it. No dock and no auto-empty | Charging and self-clean dock included; the machine runs its self-clean cycle sitting in the dock |
| Filtration | 5-stage with a HEPA element, Levoit claiming 99.99% of 0.3-micron particles retained. Levoit makes no sealed-whole-machine claim | A washable dry filter sits over the dirty-water tank. Tineco makes no HEPA claim and no sealed-system claim for this model |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | 3.2 cups (about 0.76 L) with a bottom release | 1.0 L clean water tank and a 0.72 L dirty water tank |
| Weight (lbs) | 6.56 | Not published by the manufacturer for the Stretch Ultra (the older S7 Pro is 11.46 lb) |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Washable metal pre-filters and a washable HEPA element. Levoit publishes neither a replacement schedule nor a filter price | The FlashDry self-clean washes the roller with unheated tank water and then dries it with 185°F (85°C) air for 5 minutes — the 185°F in the marketing is the drying air, not the wash water. Hot-water washing needs the S7 Stretch Steam instead. The dirty-water tank and its hair filter are still emptied and rinsed by hand every time. Tineco specifies one capful of its own solution per tank and advises against third-party detergents |
| Warranty | 24 months | 24 months |
| Colors | White/Grey | White/Grey |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra leads clearly here, 6.5 against 6.0 — a 0.5-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. If that is what you are buying for, the Levoit LVAC-300 does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra leads clearly here, 7.0 against 6.0 — a 1.0-point margin on how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. If that is what you are buying for, the Levoit LVAC-300 does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 5.0 — a 2.0-point margin on whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. If that is what you are buying for, the Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra does not close the gap elsewhere.
Handling & Ergonomics
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 8.5 against 8.0 — a 0.5-point margin on weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. If that is what you are buying for, the Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra does not close the gap elsewhere.
Maintenance & Emptying
The Levoit LVAC-300 and Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra are level here, at 7.5/10 each. bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent is not what separates these two — look to the categories where the scores diverge.
Battery System
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 4.0 — a 3.0-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. If that is what you are buying for, the Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra does not close the gap elsewhere.
Versatility
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 6.5 — a 0.5-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 9.0 against 7.5 — a 1.5-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted. If that is what you are buying for, the Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra does not close the gap elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
Levoit LVAC-300
Pros
- +Publishes air watts and a three-mode runtime table that names the attachment for each figure — unusually honest at this price
- +Self-standing, so unlike Dyson and Miele you are not obliged to drill a bracket into a wall
- +Detachable battery that charges off the machine, at a price where sealed packs are the norm
- +Around $230 street for 90 AW, a HEPA element and a 2-year warranty
Cons
- −90 air watts is barely a third of the Dyson's 240 — this is a maintenance vacuum, not a deep-carpet one
- −12 minutes in Turbo, and 40 rather than 60 as soon as the powered head goes on
- −A HEPA element in a body Levoit never claims is sealed is not an allergy solution
- −No spare-battery price published, and the LVAC-200 pack will not fit
Tineco FLOOR ONE S7 Stretch Ultra
Pros
- +Lays flat to 5.1 inches and goes under furniture — the single reason to pick this over the older S7 Pro
- +Hot-air drying after every self-clean is what stops the roller going sour between uses
- +Dual-sided edge cleaning reaches within about a centimetre of a baseboard on both sides
- +The iLoop sensor throttles suction and water to the actual dirt, which is why 50 minutes is a realistic working figure
Cons
- −The self-clean washes with unheated tank water; only the drying air is 185°F. Hot-water washing costs $150 more on the Stretch Steam
- −The battery is sealed inside — when the pack dies, the machine dies
- −Tineco advises against third-party solution, so detergent is a permanent tie to Tineco
- −You still empty and rinse the dirty-water tank and pick the hair out of its filter by hand after every use
