Flexible in Any Position

The FLOOR ONE S7 STRETCH Ultra stands out in particular with its 180° lay-flat design. It can be effortlessly tilted to 180° degrees, making it easy to use under almost any sofa, cupboard or in confined spaces. Cleaning in a flat position is made even easier because the appliance is equipped with advanced HyperStretch technology. When lying flat, it reaches a height of just 13 cm - effectively removing even hidden dust. Another highlight is the exclusive 3-chamber dirty water separation system. It keeps the dirty water away from the motor and ensures constant cleaning performance, even when lying flat.

(Ultra) Thorough Cleaning

With its improved DualBlock anti-tangle design, the FLOOR ONE S7 STRETCH Ultra offers the perfect solution for annoying tangled hair. The model is equipped with an innovative front comb scraper that catches hair and prevents tangles from forming in the first place. A specially shaped squeegee also ensures even pressure so that hair and dirty water are removed efficiently - for a streak-free result. Both scrapers are firmly attached to the roller brush, ensuring long-lasting anti-tangle performance.

MHCBS technology keeps the brush clean by efficiently recycling dirty water and continuously wiping with fresh water - a full 450 times per minute.

User-friendly Design

The fresh water self-cleaning system ensures that the appliance is thoroughly cleaned in just two minutes - from the pipe to the brush roller, completely automatically and without manual disassembly. The subsequent FlashDry process, which dries the appliance and all components efficiently, has been optimized with a temperature increase from 70℃ to 85℃. This prevents the formation of odors and bacteria and improves hygiene.

Extended Runtime

Thanks to the improved Pouch battery cell with three times the service life, the runtime of the FLOOR ONE S7 STRETCH Ultra has been extended to 50 minutes - ten minutes more than the previous model. This means that the entire house can be cleaned effortlessly on a single charge. The “house cleaning in one go” is supported by larger water tanks: 1 liter for clean water and 0.72 liters for dirty water make it possible to clean larger areas without interruption.

Price and Availability

The FLOOR ONE S7 STRETCH Ultra will be available from February 20, 2025 in Tineco official store and on Amazon at a price of 699 euros (RRP).

Thousands of nurses go on strike at several major New York City hospitals

NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of nurses in three hospital systems in New York City went on strike Monday after negotiations through the weekend failed to yield breakthroughs in their contract disputes.

The strike was taking place at The Mount Sinai Hospital and two of its satellite campuses, with picket lines forming. The other affected hospitals are NewYork-Presbyterian and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

About 15,000 nurses are involved in the strike, according to New York State Nurses Association.

“After months of bargaining, management refused to make meaningful progress on core issues that nurses have been fighting for: safe staffing for patients, healthcare benefits for nurses, and workplace violence protections,” the union said in a statement issued Monday. “Management at the richest hospitals in New York City are threatening to discontinue or radically cut nurses’ health benefits.”

The strike, which comes during a severe flu season, could potentially force the hospitals to transfer patients, cancel procedures or divert ambulances. It could also put a strain on city hospitals not involved in the contract dispute, as patients avoid the medical centers hit by the strike.

The hospitals involved have been hiring temporary nurses to try and fill the labor gap during the walkout, and said in a statement during negotiations that they would “do whatever is necessary to minimize disruptions.” Montefiore posted a message assuring patients that appointments would be kept.

“NYSNA’s leaders continue to double down on their $3.6 billion in reckless demands, including nearly 40% wage increases, and their troubling proposals like demanding that a nurse not be terminated if found to be compromised by drugs or alcohol while on the job," Montefiore spokesperson Joe Solmonese said Monday after the strike had started. "We remain resolute in our commitment to providing safe and seamless care, regardless of how long the strike may last.”

New York-Presbyterian accused the union of staging a strike to “create disruption,” but said in a statement that it has taken steps to ensure patients receive the care they need.

"We’re ready to keep negotiating a fair and reasonable contract that reflects our respect for our nurses and the critical role they play, and also recognizes the challenging realities of today’s healthcare environment,” the statement said.

The work stoppage is occurring at multiple hospitals simultaneously, but each medical center is negotiating with the union independently. Several other hospitals across the city and in its suburbs reached deals in recent days to avert a possible strike.

The nurses’ demands vary by hospital, but the major issues include staffing levels and workplace safety. The union says hospitals have given nurses unmanageable workloads.

Nurses also want better security measures in the workplace, citing incidents like a an incident last week, when a man with a sharp object barricaded himself in a Brooklyn hospital room and was then killed by police.

The union also wants limitations on hospitals’ use of artificial intelligence.

The nonprofit hospitals involved in the negotiations say they’ve been working to improve staffing levels, but say the union’s demands overall are too costly.

Nurses voted to authorize the strike last month.

Both New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani had expressed concern about the possibility of the strike. As the strike deadline neared, Mamdani urged both sides to keep negotiating and reach a deal that “both honors our nurses and keeps our hospitals open.”

“Our nurses kept this city alive through its hardest moments. Their value is not negotiable,” Mamdani said.

State Attorney General Letitia James voiced similar support, saying "nurses put their lives on the line every day to keep New Yorkers healthy. They should never be forced to choose between their own safety, their patients’ well-being, and a fair contract.”

The last major nursing strike in the city was only three years ago, in 2023. That work stoppage, at Mount Sinai and Montefiore, was short, lasting three days. It resulted in a deal raising pay 19% over three years at those hospitals.

It also led to promised staffing improvements, though the union and hospitals now disagree about how much progress has been made, or whether the hospitals are retreating from staffing guarantees.
