This is Dyson’s “first dedicated wet floor cleaner” and is designed to tackle “spills, debris and tough stains on hard floors.”
While it takes a spot among the pricier floor cleaners in the market today, the WashG1 actually makes a case for being quite worth it. How?
First, it is so easy to set it up that this writer could do it herself straight from the box, with no assistance. Absolute proud moment there. Of course, the next step was to learn to operate it, and this, too, came easily after ensuring that the machine had been charged first.
The WashG1 has water tanks attached and a mechanism that automatically separates debris and liquid waste. At the end of a quick run-through around the hard floors in the house, it was a breeze to dispose of the soiled water and the debris bin at the bottom. Easy as click, click — and good exercise, too!
The machine cleans like a trooper – removing wet and dry dirt without a trace, sucking up dusty and small dirt from the floor as if you had wiped them thoroughly with your own hands. According to its app, the machine is equipped with “one cleaner head. Covered in highly absorbent microfiber, the two counter-rotating motorized rollers simultaneously remove spills, debris, hair and dried-on stains.” Also, “three cleaning modes let you set the hydration level to suit the task: level 1, level 2, or level 3.” It’s like having a handy helper, indeed.
A single tank covered the entire space in less than 30 minutes. The chore became even quicker because, unlike other vacuum cleaners, this one could traverse spaces without having to be unplugged first or having to check how far the cord could be stretched.
The machine glided through so effortlessly, maneuvered without issue and could even go under furniture. It is, indeed “ideal for tiles, vinyl, laminate and sealed wooden floors in your hall, kitchen, bathroom and dining area.”
Best of all, and I bet many will agree, the 140-second self-clean feature that “automatically separates debris from dirty liquid — for hygienic, no-touch disposal” is a plus one would gladly pay for. Needless to say, I was floored!
