In a move that will delight cleaning enthusiasts, Dyson has slashed the price of its innovative Wash G1 wet and dry floor cleaner by a staggering 50%. The cordless machine, which normally retails for £600, is now available for just £299.99 directly from Dyson.
A Revolutionary Approach to Floor Cleaning
The Dyson Wash G1 is designed as an all-in-one solution for hard floors, aiming to replace your traditional mop, steam cleaner, and even a dustpan and brush. It is specifically engineered for surfaces like tiles, laminate, vinyl, and sealed wood floors.
Unlike a standard vacuum, this versatile device handles both dry debris and wet messes. It can pick up crumbs and dust while also dealing with sloppy spills, sticky liquids, and even dried-on stains. With a runtime of up to 35 minutes, it is built to be manoeuvrable, reaching low and awkward spaces with ease.
How the Double Roller Technology Works
The key to its cleaning power lies in its twin roller system. The two rollers spin in opposite directions, agitating stains twice with every pass. This innovative design minimises smearing and effectively separates solid and liquid mess for a more hygienic, streak-free finish.
Another significant feature is the machine's self-cleaning capability. Users can simply initiate a self-clean cycle which flushes the system, all while the Wash G1 charges on its dock, ensuring it is always ready for the next use.
Customer Reviews and Considered Alternatives
The Dyson Wash G1 has garnered impressive feedback, with over 1,400 five-star reviews on the Dyson website. One satisfied customer called it "quick and simple to use," noting they "could not believe the colour of the water" after the first clean. Another praised the three cleaning levels and the self-clean programme, especially during recent wet weather.
A helpful tip from a reviewer highlighted that the self-clean function requires the machine to be plugged into the mains and charging to operate, a detail not prominently featured in the instructions.
For those considering other options, the market offers alternatives. Shark's self-cleaning HydroVac, which combines vacuuming and mopping, is currently priced at £229.99 for the corded model and £249.99 for the cordless, representing a 25% saving. Meanwhile, the Tefal X-Clean cordless wet and dry vacuum mop is discounted to £229.99 with a code, offering 50 minutes of eco-mode performance.
However, the Dyson's current price point of £299.99 is reported by the Daily Record to be its lowest ever, having hovered around £450 for much of the past year. This makes it a particularly compelling deal for a premium piece of home cleaning technology.
