The humble mop and bucket could soon be a relic of the past in British homes, as innovative gadgets like the Dyson Wash G1 redefine floor cleaning. This cordless appliance promises to tackle both wet and dry messes in one simple pass, merging the functions of a vacuum and a mop into a single, high-tech device.
What Makes The Dyson Wash G1 Different?
At the heart of the Dyson Wash G1's cleaning power are its rotating rollers. This system is designed to be both highly efficient and hygienic, lifting dirt while simultaneously washing the floor with clean water. Dyson brands it as the 'most hygienic way to clean tough stains'.
Perhaps its most convenient feature is a self-cleaning cycle. Once you've finished cleaning your floors, the Wash G1 cleans itself in a 140-second cycle while hooked up to its charger, ensuring it's always ready for its next use.
A Substantial Price Cut For A Premium Product
This advanced technology comes with a premium price tag, typically retailing at £599.99. However, a significant sale has made it far more accessible. The device is now available for £349.99, a saving of £250. This matches one of its lowest-ever prices, last seen in early December sales.
Shoppers who have purchased the Wash G1 are impressed with its performance. One user, after cleaning their kitchen floor, stated: "I couldn't believe how much extra dirt it brought up, and how much cleaner the floor looked." Another reported their tiled floor was 'like new again', praising the design and ease of use.
Considerations And Alternatives
Some users have noted a minor drawback regarding the self-clean function, highlighting that it must be plugged into the mains and charging to work—a detail clarified on Dyson's website. Even with the substantial discount, the Wash G1 remains a significant investment for cleaning floors.
For those seeking more budget-friendly options, alternatives exist. The Shark Steam mop, at around £159.99, offers a plug-in steaming function but lacks the self-cleaning tech and dual roller system. The Vax Steam Fresh cleaner (£89.99) also kills bacteria but is a corded model.
For Dyson enthusiasts without budget constraints, the brand has already launched an upgrade: the Dyson Wash+Clean. This newer model boasts a filter-free, lighter design and a system that cleans and dries its own roller, focusing on ultimate hygiene.
Whether the Dyson Wash G1's combination of convenience, technology, and current discount justifies the cost is a decision for each household. But its performance is clearly turning heads and challenging traditional cleaning methods.
