Forget the Mop; Grab the Dyson WashG1™

Dyson's inaugural specialized wet-floor cleaner – the Dyson WashG1™.

Household tasks rarely at the forefront of our preferred agendas. At the conclusion of a lengthy day or exhausting workweek, utilizing a mop or broom to meticulously eliminate stray dust bunnies in our homes might indeed feel burdensome.

Although it is well-known that the task's difficulty stems from its repetitive futility (the floors will inevitably become unclean again), an often-overlooked factor may be the selected cleaning equipment. In a realm of perpetual consumerism, one seldom contemplates the efficacy of seemingly mundane cleaning appliances—particularly those that have existed for an extended period and superficially appear to fulfill their function. Ultimately, that decade-old balding mop may be the source of the dirt on your floors and the overall futility of the situation. The Dyson WashG1™ is introduced here.

The WashG1™, Dyson's inaugural dedicated wet-floor cleaner, features the latest advancements in the company's "floorcare technology" and exemplifies the sophisticated automation that has established its reputation in the 21st century. The WashG1™ is a cleaner designed for hard floors in both compact and expansive areas, with a 1-litre water tank that allows users to clean up to 290m² in a single operation, surpassing the size of a 5-room Executive Flat.

The WashG1™ has counter-rotating rollers constructed from hyper-absorbent microfiber with a density of 64,800 filaments per cm², along with a pump that uniformly distributes water across each roller, effectively absorbing liquid spills and collecting dry debris such as hair and food crumbs from floors.

In typical Dyson style, the WashG1™ incorporates novel "separation technology" that segregates extraneous debris and contaminated water from the microfiber rollers that gather them. Solid trash is automatically separated with nylon bristles into a detachable debris tray, while the liquid residue is extracted using a robust mangle. The segregation of solid and liquid waste facilitates straightforward maintenance and disposal of each category of refuse upon completion. The WashG1™ features a self-cleaning mechanism that expels high-pressure clean water via the two rollers, ensuring rapid readiness for subsequent usage.

If you are concerned about the condition of your apartment's aged hardwood floors in relation to the WashG1™, there is no cause for anxiety. Dyson features integrated hydration control, enabling users to choose between low, medium, or high levels according to the kind of debris, flooring, and personal choice. Each option includes three additional sensitivity levels for further refinement. The WashG1™ features a specialized boost mode designed to eliminate particularly tenacious stains by utilizing maximum moisture to remove dirt.

Considering the capabilities of the WashG1™, it is evident that Dyson has intentionally crafted its inaugural wet-floor cleaner with a defined objective. In contrast to a conventional cotton mop-head that disperses dirt on your floors and requires human wringing, the WashG1™ automates the most arduous tasks while enhancing cleaning efficacy. While the 35-minute operational duration may be insufficient for larger residences requiring extensive cleaning, the minimal time and effort necessary to prepare the WashG1™ for an additional mopping session will likely encourage more frequent use. Moreover, for technology enthusiasts or cleanliness aficionados, the WashG1™'s automated cleaning features are exceptionally impressive.
