The catch
Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine
Wet jobs and dry jobs each need the matching head, and liquid stays out of the dry configuration.
Side by side
Dyson V16 Submarine vs Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6: Tineco is a floor washer, Dyson covers dry sofas as well
Quick verdict
The V16 Submarine bundle is the choice for dry carpet, sofa fur and compatible hard-floor washing with separate heads, but never collect liquid through its dry configuration. Stretch S6 is the choice when dry jobs are already covered and you need dedicated washing beneath furniture on compatible hard floors, with full moving clearance beyond its nominal 5.1-inch body.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
A dry job nobody covers can decide the purchase
Dry floorheads, handheld use and a powered Hair screw tool 2.0 for dry furniture fur are all part of the selected V16 Submarine bundle. S6 supplies none of those dry configurations, so a household with no dry vacuum needs more than floor washing.
Where this comes from
The comparison is of the exact configurations included and not of measured fur pickup or comfort.
The catch
Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6
Dry carpet and furniture-vacuum setups are not offered.

Which one fits
Pick the situations that sound like you
Dry fur on a fabric couch
The powered Hair screw tool 2.0 and the handheld configuration are in the selected V16 kit. Fabric-care permission still applies. S6 is a hard-floor washer.

Washing under an opening measured at six inches
Compatible hard floors and full moving clearance beyond its nominal 5.1-inch body are what S6 needs, so the opening alone is not enough. Whether an equivalent Dyson wet head fits is unverified.

In practice
Differences you will notice
A dry job nobody covers can decide the purchase
Dry floorheads, handheld use and a powered Hair screw tool 2.0 for dry furniture fur are all part of the selected V16 Submarine bundle. S6 supplies none of those dry configurations, so a household with no dry vacuum needs more than floor washing.
How we worked this out
The comparison is of the exact configurations included and not of measured fur pickup or comfort.
Six inches does not guarantee the washing route
Subtracting the nominal 5.1-inch S6 body from a six-inch opening leaves 0.9 inch before movement and obstructions. Flat washing with S6 still requires compatible hard floors and full moving clearance. The geometry of an equivalent Dyson wet head remains unverified.
How we worked this out
Illustrative geometry, 6 − 5.1 = 0.9 inch. What decides fit is the complete route, including supports and the travel of the head and handle.
A separate dry vacuum changes what the bundle is for
S6 can serve as the dedicated washer if dry carpet and upholstery are already covered. Its heated roller drying needs the specified powered-dock setup and still leaves tank, filter and roller care to you. Dock heat is not heated floor washing.
How we worked this out
In the exact S6 manual, powered maintenance is kept apart from manual care and complete part drying.
Option A
Dyson, 640976-01
V16 Piston Animal Submarine
The strongest stick in Dyson’s current lineup, with a compressing bin, a conical anti-tangle head and a wet roller of its own.
- Best for
- Use the included Hair screw tool 2.0 on dry furniture fur
Facts we checked
- Furniture and carpet role: Dry floorheads, handheld conversion and Hair screw tool 2.0 in the selected bundle
- Wet-floor configuration: Fit the Submarine head for compatible hard floors. No liquid through dry tools
- Low wet-cleaning profile: Equivalent wet-head clearance not verified
Option B
Tineco, FLOOR ONE Stretch S6
FLOOR ONE Stretch S6
This washer is for compatible hard floors that can be wet-cleaned, under furniture where the whole moving machine fits. Powered roller drying requires the specified dock setup, and you still care for the parts manually.
- Best for
- Wash compatible hard floors beneath furniture only where the whole moving route has room for the nominal 5.1-inch body
Facts we checked
- Furniture and carpet role: Hard-floor washer, with no dry carpet or furniture-vacuum configuration
- Wet-floor configuration: Compatible wet-cleanable hard floors only
- Low wet-cleaning profile: Nominal 5.1-inch flat body. Full moving clearance required on compatible hard floors
Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine | Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6 | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Furniture and carpet role | Dry floorheads, handheld conversion and Hair screw tool 2.0 in the selected bundle | Hard-floor washer, with no dry carpet or furniture-vacuum configuration | It is the exact Submarine bundle that counts. Do not carry its attachments over to another V16 package or confuse S6 with SWITCH. |
| Wet-floor configuration | Fit the Submarine head for compatible hard floors. No liquid through dry tools | Compatible wet-cleanable hard floors only | Neither configuration extracts from carpet, and neither is permission to collect solid pet waste. |
| Low wet-cleaning profile | Equivalent wet-head clearance not verified | Nominal 5.1-inch flat body. Full moving clearance required on compatible hard floors | What a six-inch opening leaves is a nominal 0.9 inch, which is no verified operating fit for either washer. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine
- The clearance of an equivalent wet head is unverified.
With Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6
- Compatible hard floors and full moving clearance are required for flat washing. Heated roller care still leaves manual work.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
Dry sofa fur and carpet remain jobs that nothing covers
Go with Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine. Work with the dry heads and furniture tool in the selected Dyson bundle, and change to the Submarine head for compatible hard-floor washing. Never collect liquid through dry tools.
The dry jobs are covered by another vacuum
Go with Tineco FLOOR ONE Stretch S6. Dedicated washing beneath furniture suits S6 only on compatible hard floors with full moving clearance beyond its nominal 5.1-inch body.
Decision guide
How to decide
Let the cleaning jobs and the complete route your home really needs drive the choice.
A dry job nobody covers can decide the purchase
Dry floorheads, handheld use and a powered Hair screw tool 2.0 for dry furniture fur all come with the selected V16 Submarine bundle. S6 supplies none of those dry configurations, so a household with no dry vacuum needs more than floor washing. This is a comparison of exact included configurations and not of measured fur pickup or comfort.
Six inches does not guarantee the washing route
Take the nominal 5.1-inch S6 body away from a six-inch opening and 0.9 inch is left before movement and obstructions. S6 flat washing still requires compatible hard floors and full moving clearance, and the equivalent Dyson wet-head geometry remains unverified. Illustrative geometry: 6 − 5.1 = 0.9 inch. Fit is decided by the complete route, including supports, head and handle travel.
A separate dry vacuum changes what the bundle is for
Once dry carpet and upholstery are covered, S6 can be the dedicated washer. Its heated roller drying needs the specified powered-dock setup and still leaves tank, filter and roller care to you. Dock heat is not heated floor washing. The exact S6 manual keeps powered maintenance apart from manual care and complete part drying.
What this page can’t tell you
- Neither manufacturer specifications nor exact operating instructions establish matched pickup, endurance, sanitizing performance or total care time. Take solid pet waste out separately.
