They released the G1 here in the US finally within the last week or so, picked one up today and never owned a mop-like product like this before. Vacuumed and then put the G1 to the test. I was shocked. First, by how fast and effectively it worked. Second, by just how much extra it cleaned up off the floor even when it looked clean to the naked eye. Amazing product! Expensive but if it works well, I’m willing to pay it. Great video there, mate! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for the kind words and so glad it worked out for you. Yeah, it's scary when you see how much more comes off the floor even when you think it is clean!
@@motivatedtravel hey mate, one question if I may! After using the Dyson, how exactly are we supposed to dry the rollers? I’ve been trying to do some research today and some people say the rollers are wet and don’t self dry, but I can’t find an exact answer if we are supposed to pull the rollers, or if we just leave them installed and they’ll eventually air dry.
@@Deetroiter I think you can just leave them and they will eventually air dry. They don't self dry. I found they stay wet for quite a while, but they are a clean wet if that makes sense. It self cleans, so it doesn't smell so much. But I guess it could get mouldy if you don't watch out.
Yeah a bit more than you'd usually put it through I agree. It did it all though, although struggled with the egg shell. I think mostly because it stuck to the roller brushes.
Great review mate, very thorough, and actual real-world testing is so helpful.. picking up big pieces like those raisins, and dense, sticky substance like honey is actually very shocking - didn't anticipate it handling both those as efficiently as they did. Thanks for the video!
Really cool product and reduces the need for forward and backward pulling, but very pricey. Will have to wait and see with Vacuum Wars tests, but I really appreciate that this separates solid and liquid from each other like the Hizero mops (those initially retailed for $700USD). I have a Tineco which just mixes everything together, so you have to do way more than just draining water after each use, more convenient than traditional mopping, but such a hassle.
I rushed out to buy one (I live in Spain) and was really excited about it at first....about the fourth time I used it though, I kept getting an error message to empty the dirty water tank, even though I had just started to clean and it wasn't full. After watching the troubleshooting videos, I called Dyson and now they are sending me a replacement. In addition, it is easy to use but quite a hassle to clean--I found it difficult to remove the filter tray and brushes, and the water is saturated on the rollers so it will begin to smell a bit off after a while. Just a few things to consider. I hope when I get my replacement I will not have the error messages but I have read other people having the same issue.
Really sorry to hear about your experience, but glad it is getting replaced. I appreciate you sharing your experinece, too. I agree with your concerns. I found myself lifting it up onto my kitchen bench to clean it, which gives the best access, but isn't a great solution.
I have had my Dyson for 6 weeks and love it. The only frustration I have is with taking out the red tray. I tried lifting it to the side put it up on the counter to see what am I doing wrong. In the end I have to wait for my husband to remove it. Even he battles to remove the tray and often it comes out with the rollers. Wish there was an easier way! 😜
Yes, very much agree. I put it up ok the bench to remove it, which isn't ideal. Usually leaves some gunk on the bench too. Feel like there must be an easier way.
Great review my man the wife and I are huge Dyson fans this may be the only Dyson product we don’t own yet lol we have a lot of hard wood floors in our home and your review was very thorough and you may have just sold me on this product if you think about it it only uses water which will save you money in the long run considering all the other competitors charge you for there detergents like swiffer does it’s like 20 bucks for a bottle. I’m just wondering if I should wait to see if there gonna come out with an upgraded model soon with a few xtra modifications and settings
I've just bought one too, mainly because one of my daughters has one and raves about how clean her white tiled floor is and she has 2 Labradors who are inside a lot...well....I have timber floors and I walk around barefooted, and never thought my floors were dirty. I received my dyson and used it a few days later....I can't believe how clean my floor feels, apart from the visual in the dirty water tank😮....I'm gobsmacked with the results.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Yeah, it's quite a shock when you see how brown that water turns isn't it. Thanks for adding your experience to the conversation.
Love your honest review. Surprised that Dyson is so late to the game and that they release such a poorly done product that adds nothing to the wet/dry vacuum current market-Philips has done a similar product and I tested it and it was absolute garbage and just as pricey as that one so I brought it back to the store quickly to get my money back. Bissell and Dreame products do a far better job (powerful suction and easy cleaning of the tank and brush, especially Dreame) for much less money and they’re quite durable (at least mine are so far and yet I use them a dozen times a day because I have several dogs and my garden is quite muddy due to the weather here).
Do not just use the self clean at the end of the day and call if good, I would recommend pulling the tray and rollers at the end of the day and let them dry out, without doing this my new unit became very smelly after only 2 days sitting on the base.
Great feedback! I guess it depends a bit on what you're using it to clean up, but I can definitely see how it would generate a smell considering how much is still left on the rollers after a clean. For me though, it was mostly pet hair that didn't seem to self clean well.
Regards the edge bit, i noticed when you pointed out you cant really get into the corners all that well. But what about the other side of the rollers? You only tested it in one direction?
Yeah, this was an oversight. The area I was demoing on actually has a wall at the other end, so you can only approach it from one direction. So other parts of the house you can get closer to the wall.
Had big hopes for the G1. Hopefully v2 will get better. Maybe it will end up similar to their robot cleaner that started drop a lot in price after people felt it was not as good as the competitors for a much lower price.
@@motivatedtravel I haven’t bought one but tried it in shops as well as comparing the features of it compared to other cleaners. It feels somewhat flimsy which I think is because Dyson try to keep down the weight. No drying capability. The ‘click’ to lock the g1 from the vertical position sounds like cheap plastic that won’t last long. Just my impressions.
@@motivatedtravel Surly Spotted gum is beautiful. I have blackbutt through out in the house. Just not sure G1 washer would be good enough to take it to timber. Now I will. Have you ever thought of adding any chemicals (few drops) in clean water tank? My timber installer strongly recommends VERSADET available at Bunnings. I ask Dyson too but refuse to answer on any specific product. Thank you for prompt reply. Regards.
@@parimal3506 Blackbutt is lovely, too. I remember considering that when I was building the house. The G1 worked fine on my timber. I haven't thought of adding chemicals to be honest, so I'm not sure about Versadet. But I'm encouraged to look into it now!
You talk about the finger width edge, yet I can see right on it, it says edge cleaning pointing to the other side, which doesn't have that gap. Why not just clean using that edge of the vacuum?
Yeah someone else brought that up as well. I stuffed up, mostly because I'm right-handed, and naturally went around the walls the other way. Just had a brain fart and didn't think about reversing. There is still a gap on the otherside, but not as bad.
Is that a Moser watch by any chance? And great video. Looks like it does a great job cleaning but we do end up needing to do a bit of cleaning the vacuum up after. Love the debris tray but yes the dock is sketch
Thank you from Devon in the UK, I've been considering one of these as we have LVT waterproof laminate. Does it leave streaks on the floor and it looks like it leaves it pretty wet? 😊
No worries! I didn't notice streaks at all. It does leave the floor a bit wet, but it dries very quick. In this video it looks worse that usual as I had it on Max, and was testing the same spot over and over again.
@@motivatedtravel thank you, do you know how expensive the pads are please as someone said replacements every 6 months and I know Dyson parts can be expensive?
@@Lynn-zw7dr They are $49 here in Australia, but hopefully you get more than 6-months out of them as that's a lot to keep the device working properly each year!
Nice review. A noteworthy observation, you stated in the video (20:36) that the G1 doesn't get close to the edges of walls, but that is not correct. One side is actually designed to get close to the edge, noted as "edge cleaning". Very helpful video though!
Thank Marc - yeah that was an error on my part. I'm actually getting the Dyson back so i can reshoot a video specific to edges to help rectify. I was going clockwise around my house out of Habit, so always using the wrong edge, lol. It says it clearly on top too!! Sigh!
Thanks for the review! I have hard wood floors and I was wondering if it’s going to damage the wood. Can somebody comment if they had an issue with that?
Yes, you can. I think there is a certain viscosity max they suggest avoiding though, which limits some products. I can't recall exactly, so maybe double check with Dyson.
I know it's unreasonable to imagine one of these that actually cleans itself, but so far you'd have to have some major square footage to justify the time to clean the cleaner vs just using a mop.
Not sure why you emptied the tray in the sink, the solid pieces go in the bin and the dirty water down the sink, by Dysons advert, that's the whole point of the separation process.
I've got a solids catcher in the sink plug hole, so I'm just used to doing it that way with dirty plates, pans, etc. I also didn't know what was in the bin when I was walking over there on camera, lol.
Thanks I think I'll buy the tineco s7 instead. I really was not impressed with this. Dyson is relying in their name brand here. I have Dyson everything - but this was not impressive at all.
None of my beds are on hardwood so couldn't test this use case. But if it's a high enough frame to get a spare mattress under then the Dyson Wash G1 should fit
You have my ultimate respect for vacuuming up that egg 😆. These are actually £599 in the UK which is think is a far more reasonable proposition. Think you’re really paying for dyson’s aesthetics which I feel elevates a living space as apposed to other mops on the market. Still, a steam powered mop does sound nice..
Yeah it was totally live as well, so I'm glad it didn't create an unforeseen issues, lol. I've got a steam alternative in to review next, so will be interesting to see the difference.
It's so overpriced considering a) doesn't vacuum, b) just does hard floors, c) can't get cleaning solution for it, d) the dock doesn't charge meaning you have to manually plug it in each time, and e) the four brushes tangle with hair, then the debris tray with separate components, dirt tank and its lid plus components have to cleaned by hand every time. Plenty of other brands have been doing it better for far longer.
@motivatedtravel Interesting. Must be the way the display unit at the shop I work at is set up. Either way, I hate having to demonstrate it... By far the most painful of the floor washers to clean up after.
While it may not matter to them, Dyson is losing me as a customer. I’m tired of paying premium prices for products made with cheap, flimsy materials that leave much to be desired in terms of innovation and improvement. Take the cord management issue in this review, for instance - I expected a company like Dyson to consider every detail. I do like my Supersonic hair dryer; it’s solid. But my V15, while functional, feels poorly made and lacks durability. It even causes blisters on my thumb because no thought was put into creating a comfortable grip. It’s details like these that make a difference. I also purchased one of their fans, but I returned it immediately - the entire thing was flimsy plastic with weak airflow.
I thought I was the only one using it wrong and ending up with a thumb blister! Same problem with poor quality material too. My hard floor attachment is held together by 3 pieces of tape.
lol there literally a note pointing to the edge cleaning side. And you used the wrong side for edges twice...Just saying. One side goes all the way to the edge the other doesn't. If you keept that in mind you can basically reach everything. If you read that I have another question - how long does it take to recharge the battery?
Yep, not sure how I missed it. I think it's because I went around the house clockwise each time - must be my OCD. Sorry, I don't recall the charge time. 35-minutes was more than enough to do a run around my house, so I was never waiting for it, if that makes sense.
@@sarakaster Yep, I can understand that would be a key consideration. Was just trying to find an answer on it online, but nothing concrete. I don't feel like it was that long. Sadly, Dyson have taken the unit back, so I can't test for you.
@@motivatedtravel I got the S6 Switch latelly and the only thing to commnet is the battery life which is way more good than Dyson. The rest is just flawless. Materials feels just like Apple kinda off...
With the price point I would have expected a lot more of Dyson. 😢 I would have expected a retractable cable storage, two batteries, steam function, heated water, larger debris tray, pet friendly, a better quality storage system with built in drying, a lot more accessories and functions, etc.
Wow, that's a big hitlist of features. The two batteries one is interesting, that would require a large floor space to be that helpful I'd have thought?
@@motivatedtravel The one battery wouldn’t be enough time to clean our house. It would be very frustrating to make it only through a portion of the floor cleaning because of waiting for the battery to charge vs just switching the battery to complete the job immediately. Unfortunately, this is more of a fancy mop/swiffer with a very expensive price tag 😢 I just expected more since their products are usually top of the line.
Dyson who ditched his dedicated staff in the UK to join the gravy train with outsourced, cheap labour to maximize profits is the whole reason I will never purchase his overpriced garbage. $700 for a hard floor cleaner.! There are mugs out there who would part with their hard earned money just for it's brand name. Just like Apple.
The original Hizero is an inferior product to this and has tons of praise. It also retailed for $700 USD originally. It’s a lot cheaper now and still provides separation of solids and liquid. You should check it out.
16:20 dude, bad enough you admit you didn't clean the tray before the "test", you don't even know you're supposed to REMOVE the red tray from the base to clean it, not leave it on where crap can stay lodged underneath between the two sections o.O This is not how to "review" something when you don't even know how to use the product.
Sorry you had such a rough experinece. I've been reviewing product for 30-years and I'm comortable with my approach. I actually use the products before I review them extensively and these are honest opinions from a regular parent using them for real: I'm not interested in faking reality to meet some mystery standard. As for your red tray comment, this is the way the Dyson representative showed me how to clean it and it worked for me. I feel like you're focusing on something very minor and irrelevant to the verdict.
My tineco s3 is way better than this. It has a vacuum, has a sensor that tells you if the dirty water tank is full of solid materials. The sensor also optimizes performance, by ramping up/down depends on how dirty the floor is, makes battery usage efficient. Tineco is way cheaper as well, has more value for your money imo. I still love my dyson cordless and corded dry vacuum cleaner.
Having bought Dyson products before, I would avoid with a barge pole. You will have nothing but problems with them, especially the new products. Trust me I bought their cordless vacuum and there have been problem after problem.
@@motivatedtravel you have to wait at least 3 years, as this time period is needed for them to improve the product and correct common faults. But even this period is not always long enough. In my opinion Dyson have great marketing but the products are mediocre at best.
Karcher already got this year's ago , we need suction u can't clean without suction n this uses the rollers only no suction, y would anyone buy this over a half price bissel when the bissel is perfect
@susancox-v9v ok that's good but did u ever try the bissel roller cleaner vac that picks up water dirty as if u were scrubbing the floor with a mop it's much better than this overpriced garbage, dyson is today making his crap in cheaper countries means it cost him fk all to make only thing he pays more for is the initial research that's it, yet he is selling us utter rubbish twice price of everything else and this crap got absolutely no suction
@@motivatedtravel Ive just got the Roborock Flexi Pro - I didnt even realise Dyson had released one..But I must say I think the Roborock has the edge with the self cleaning base with hot water + blow drys the rollers + it vacuums and its cheaper
@@Albertthedachs Well look at that, it does, too! I didn't even pick up it only being one edge that gets close. I honestly was circling my house in the other direction, Needed to go anti-clockwise. How much closer have you noticed it gest on that edge?
Hizero retailed for $700 USD initially for the first gen model. Companies price because they know people will buy. I still think it’s way too expensive, but Hizero and now Dyson are the only ones that separate solid from liquid making cleaning so much easier than current mainstream models that are a pain to clean afterwards.
Expensive, but on point with many of the competitors in terms of price. As mentioned in the video, I think it should be a little bit cheaper given its feature-set.
They released the G1 here in the US finally within the last week or so, picked one up today and never owned a mop-like product like this before. Vacuumed and then put the G1 to the test.

Hello
I heard you mention the machine does not heat the water, but will it work well if you use hot water from the tap instead of tepid?
@@HonoringGeneralG.S.PattonJr Yes you can use hot or warm water, but they advise against using boiling water or anything super hot.

You definitely put through the torture test - to give the best chance I vacuum first and only use the G1 as a mop
Yeah a bit more than you'd usually put it through I agree. It did it all though, although struggled with the egg shell. I think mostly because it stuck to the roller brushes.
Great review mate, very thorough, and actual real-world testing is so helpful.. picking up big pieces like those raisins, and dense, sticky substance like honey is actually very shocking - didn't anticipate it handling both those as efficiently as they did. Thanks for the video!

So how does the roller smell after the cleaning the egg? Mostly mops tens to leave odour all along the house.
I didn't pick up on anything. Just put it through a self-clean cycle afterwards.
Maybe Vacuum first?? I presume it's meant to be used in replace of a mop.
According to Dyson, you don't need to vacuum first. That's one of its key selling points.
This one you don’t have to vacuum first because it actually separates the solids unlike the other ones on the market
Yes you should vacuum first. Especially when you have pets.
@@eddolous well this hard washer is a little bit more advanced then your typical tineco or bissell cross wave
It picks a loose dirt etc, no need to vacuum first .
Do not just use the self clean at the end of the day and call if good, I would recommend pulling the tray and rollers at the end of the day and let them dry out, without doing this my new unit became very smelly after only 2 days sitting on the base.

I feel that my robot vacuum cleans and mops better. Plus it does it on its own. Gets to the edges better too and doesn't mix the dirt with the water
Yeah, for sure. Valid argument to spend a bit extra and get something that not only does both, but on its own.
Regards the edge bit, i noticed when you pointed out you cant really get into the corners all that well. But what about the other side of the rollers? You only tested it in one direction?
Yeah, this was an oversight. The area I was demoing on actually has a wall at the other end, so you can only approach it from one direction. So other parts of the house you can get closer to the wall.
@motivatedtravel thank you for understanding my comment. I couldn't quite explain what I wanted to say!
Looks like Dyson are ages behind tineco, dreame and roborock when it comes to dry and wet cleaners..
Not even trying to be a dry cleaner in this instance.... which would be fine if it was cheaper.
Best vacuum cleaner that's a cordless upright is the Electrolux ergo rapido.
Haven't used that one, might have to try and check it out.
Had big hopes for the G1. Hopefully v2 will get better. Maybe it will end up similar to their robot cleaner that started drop a lot in price after people felt it was not as good as the competitors for a much lower price.

We are very disappointed with ours...debris tray keeps falling off. Leaves lots of little puddles. Struggles with debris in grout.

After all, I won't be walking on a wet floor, I'm mopping by backing up, will that work too?
Should do - you can go back and forth with it no worries.
How does it handle hair? Like lots of hair?

Living in Malaysia it's hard😢 the Dyson watch G1 in Malaysia cost 1 million RM
Really, that's like $350,000 Aussie dollars, I must have the conversion wrong.
Thanks for the review! I have hard wood floors and I was wondering if it’s going to damage the wood. Can somebody comment if they had an issue with that?
No it won't damage the wood as it uses cold water. Only heard of that happening with super hot steam mops, and even then I don't think it's common.
Can i use other brand cleaning solution in that water tank ?
Yes, you can. I think there is a certain viscosity max they suggest avoiding though, which limits some products. I can't recall exactly, so maybe double check with Dyson.
Is it self propelled or does it require manual push 100%?
It moves easily over the ground. Not sure if that's because it's self-propelled or if it's because the rollers are turning. But it moves easily.
Hope Dyson is watching this review and make improvement in the next model.
I'm sure someone will. They do keep an eye on comments and feedback.
Hmmm,Good vid, shame we didnt get to see more of the edge cleaning capability,
Yeah, on reflection I should have done more on that. I might see if I can get the product back in.
Nice review, but does it dry the floor or u just wait it to dry alone :)
Not it dries on its own. It did not seem to take long to dry.
I know it's unreasonable to imagine one of these that actually cleans itself, but so far you'd have to have some major square footage to justify the time to clean the cleaner vs just using a mop.
I found it pretty easy to clean. You just slide out the red tray and rince it. The rollers then get self-cleaned.
So it doesn’t work on carpets or rugs at all?
No... not unless you want it to get wet.
Nice Review
Cheers!
Great review but i still prefer Shark
What makes the Shark stand out for you?
Do you know if the machine forces you to change the rollers?
Concerned about the cost for roller replacements. It's pricey.
I don't think it forces you, just when you're use case wears them out. Mine didn't look too good after that egg shell, lol.
Not sure why you emptied the tray in the sink, the solid pieces go in the bin and the dirty water down the sink, by Dysons advert, that's the whole point of the separation process.
I've got a solids catcher in the sink plug hole, so I'm just used to doing it that way with dirty plates, pans, etc. I also didn't know what was in the bin when I was walking over there on camera, lol.
Mucket and a bop🤣🤣. Sounds like a cleaning dance
Haha, got to have that bop!
Came for the Dyson, stayed for the beard.
Lol, I actually just trimmed it. Was a bit longer - th-cam.com/video/oSh9gqqOnxc/w-d-xo.html&
Thanks I think I'll buy the tineco s7 instead. I really was not impressed with this. Dyson is relying in their name brand here. I have Dyson everything - but this was not impressive at all.
I just got in the Tineco actually, so looking forward to seeing the difference between the two!
@@motivatedtravel I loved your review btw. Very practical and straight forward. A torture test and honest. Will subscribe
@@atg4469 Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words!
Im confused, he said it doesnt use suction but it clearly sucks up the dirty water.
It doesn't use air suction, it's all done via water. There's more details here - th-cam.com/video/o150o9A958c/w-d-xo.html
How many DB's sound?
Omg its sounds like a jet engine... Too loud...
I didn't think it was too bad. No worse than the others I've used. Although I did expect it to be better given no suction.
Ho, nobody is showing how it workshop under forniture like the bed. Does the width allow to clean under it for instance? Thanks
None of my beds are on hardwood so couldn't test this use case. But if it's a high enough frame to get a spare mattress under then the Dyson Wash G1 should fit
You have my ultimate respect for vacuuming up that egg 😆. These are actually £599 in the UK which is think is a far more reasonable proposition.
Think you’re really paying for dyson’s aesthetics which I feel elevates a living space as apposed to other mops on the market. Still, a steam powered mop does sound nice..
Yeah it was totally live as well, so I'm glad it didn't create an unforeseen issues, lol. I've got a steam alternative in to review next, so will be interesting to see the difference.
It's so overpriced considering a) doesn't vacuum, b) just does hard floors, c) can't get cleaning solution for it, d) the dock doesn't charge meaning you have to manually plug it in each time, and e) the four brushes tangle with hair, then the debris tray with separate components, dirt tank and its lid plus components have to cleaned by hand every time. Plenty of other brands have been doing it better for far longer.
Don't disagree that it's over-priced, but I believe the dock does charge it.
@motivatedtravel Interesting. Must be the way the display unit at the shop I work at is set up. Either way, I hate having to demonstrate it... By far the most painful of the floor washers to clean up after.
Bro what in the Randy blue into
Sorry, i don't understand this question?
While it may not matter to them, Dyson is losing me as a customer. I’m tired of paying premium prices for products made with cheap, flimsy materials that leave much to be desired in terms of innovation and improvement. Take the cord management issue in this review, for instance - I expected a company like Dyson to consider every detail.
I do like my Supersonic hair dryer; it’s solid. But my V15, while functional, feels poorly made and lacks durability. It even causes blisters on my thumb because no thought was put into creating a comfortable grip. It’s details like these that make a difference. I also purchased one of their fans, but I returned it immediately - the entire thing was flimsy plastic with weak airflow.
Yeah I think these are fair points. I noticed a number of the finer details that you might expect as "premium" were missing.
I thought I was the only one using it wrong and ending up with a thumb blister! Same problem with poor quality material too. My hard floor attachment is held together by 3 pieces of tape.
@@SivaranjaniKapali That's no good!
lol there literally a note pointing to the edge cleaning side. And you used the wrong side for edges twice...Just saying. One side goes all the way to the edge the other doesn't. If you keept that in mind you can basically reach everything.
If you read that I have another question - how long does it take to recharge the battery?
Yep, not sure how I missed it. I think it's because I went around the house clockwise each time - must be my OCD.
Sorry, I don't recall the charge time. 35-minutes was more than enough to do a run around my house, so I was never waiting for it, if that makes sense.
@@motivatedtravel Thank you. It's just that I might take longer runtime than that and therefore thinking about getting a 2nd battery pack.
@@sarakaster Yep, I can understand that would be a key consideration. Was just trying to find an answer on it online, but nothing concrete. I don't feel like it was that long. Sadly, Dyson have taken the unit back, so I can't test for you.
@@motivatedtravelNo worries. Thanks for your response - much appreciated! As well as your video!
how does this machine perform on rough/uneven floors such as natural stone?
My floor isn't massively uneven, but the natural stone in the bathroom seemed to clean ok, and it got into the grout a bit when you turned up to Max.
Curious. You’re walking through the wet , so are you leaving foot prints ?
No, I didn't, which is interesting. The floor looks a lot wetter than it is. It seems to dry in minutes.
No wayy ! You should try the Tineco One Floor S5, S6 … years light away
Actually got the S7 Steam in at the moment for review.
@@motivatedtravel I got the S6 Switch latelly and the only thing to commnet is the battery life which is way more good than Dyson. The rest is just flawless. Materials feels just like Apple kinda off...
With the price point I would have expected a lot more of Dyson. 😢 I would have expected a retractable cable storage, two batteries, steam function, heated water, larger debris tray, pet friendly, a better quality storage system with built in drying, a lot more accessories and functions, etc.
Wow, that's a big hitlist of features. The two batteries one is interesting, that would require a large floor space to be that helpful I'd have thought?
@@motivatedtravel The one battery wouldn’t be enough time to clean our house. It would be very frustrating to make it only through a portion of the floor cleaning because of waiting for the battery to charge vs just switching the battery to complete the job immediately. Unfortunately, this is more of a fancy mop/swiffer with a very expensive price tag 😢 I just expected more since their products are usually top of the line.
@@samanthaheizer-metcalf9703 Yeah that would be a pain!
No suction won't clean soap, leaves soapy edges need to keep emptying foamy soap constantly
As in, won't clean a soapy mess, or you put soap in the water cannister?
You need hearing protection when using that 😂
It's louder than I would have thought for a water-only device, but it's not louder than a typical vacuum.
It has a lot of noise. Isn't it?
It's not as quiet as I thought it would be given there's no suction, but I didn't think it was louder than a vacuum.
Compared to my plug in Bissel steam version its quiet
Mate how did the Sultanas, Honey , Egg shake tastes 😂
Hahaha, I should have given it a go!
Dyson who ditched his dedicated staff in the UK to join the gravy train with outsourced, cheap labour to maximize profits is the whole reason I will never purchase his overpriced garbage. $700 for a hard floor cleaner.! There are mugs out there who would part with their hard earned money just for it's brand name. Just like Apple.
Sure are a lot of Dyson fans ou there!
The original Hizero is an inferior product to this and has tons of praise. It also retailed for $700 USD originally. It’s a lot cheaper now and still provides separation of solids and liquid. You should check it out.
That’s alright, buddy…Americans love Dyson products and buy them with pride.
You’re not wrong, but almost every company is doing that now.
Just don’t be broke 🤷
Overpriced nonsense
It would have been nice to see it just a bit cheaper.
Chris needs to give TH-cam auto-subtitles a good wack'n. It says "Good day Humans Chris Dead here"....
Lol, yep! Happens a lot!
Their design and function are great. Their material choices are garbage. The cheapest power tools you can find use more durable plastics.
Seems to be a common assessment from what I'm hearing!
How does this compare to the Dyson V15s Submarine?
Sorry I haven't used the V15, but hopefully another member of the community knows and can get back to you.
I couldn't handle living in a house with that much dog hair everywhere. It's too much to even keep on top of really.😬
Yeah it's a pain. But it only happens twice a year when he sheds on season change. Usually it's ok.
16:20 dude, bad enough you admit you didn't clean the tray before the "test", you don't even know you're supposed to REMOVE the red tray from the base to clean it, not leave it on where crap can stay lodged underneath between the two sections o.O
This is not how to "review" something when you don't even know how to use the product.
Sorry you had such a rough experinece. I've been reviewing product for 30-years and I'm comortable with my approach. I actually use the products before I review them extensively and these are honest opinions from a regular parent using them for real: I'm not interested in faking reality to meet some mystery standard. As for your red tray comment, this is the way the Dyson representative showed me how to clean it and it worked for me.
I feel like you're focusing on something very minor and irrelevant to the verdict.
My tineco s3 is way better than this. It has a vacuum, has a sensor that tells you if the dirty water tank is full of solid materials. The sensor also optimizes performance, by ramping up/down depends on how dirty the floor is, makes battery usage efficient. Tineco is way cheaper as well, has more value for your money imo. I still love my dyson cordless and corded dry vacuum cleaner.
I just set up the Tineco S7 Steam for some testing. Heard plenty of good things, look for a review soon. Keen to see how it compares!
For $300 more you can buy a eufy x1, a real robotic mop system and not even have to do it yourself🤷
Lol, that's a fair point!!!!
Having bought Dyson products before, I would avoid with a barge pole.
You will have nothing but problems with them, especially the new products.
Trust me I bought their cordless vacuum and there have been problem after problem.
That's not good to hear. I haven't had this issue personally, but would be interested in hearing other people's thoughts.
@@motivatedtravel you have to wait at least 3 years, as this time period is needed for them to improve the product and correct common faults. But even this period is not always long enough. In my opinion Dyson have great marketing but the products are mediocre at best.
I agree. I have a few Dyson products.
@@billkhan1154Nonsense. You're just getting lemons. I've had zero problems with their cordless vaccums
@@billkhan1154 Appreciate the feedback on your experience!
For £600 I am not impressed. Dyson does claim that it is a vacuum and floor washer.
Well it seems to suck up things like dog hair, but it does use air suction like a traditional vacuum.
Karcher already got this year's ago , we need suction u can't clean without suction n this uses the rollers only no suction, y would anyone buy this over a half price bissel when the bissel is perfect
I don't know, it didn't a good job in the tests I did in this video. Better than I expected. But yeah, doesn't mean it's the ideal price.
I have had mine for a week. My floor has never been cleaner.
@@susancox-v9v Good to hear!
@susancox-v9v ok that's good but did u ever try the bissel roller cleaner vac that picks up water dirty as if u were scrubbing the floor with a mop it's much better than this overpriced garbage, dyson is today making his crap in cheaper countries means it cost him fk all to make only thing he pays more for is the initial research that's it, yet he is selling us utter rubbish twice price of everything else and this crap got absolutely no suction

io preferisco utilizzare ancora lo straccio 100×100 cotone che poi metto in lavatrice a 60 gradi
Fair enough
I think it’s too complicated 😅😅
Definitely not it's issue, lol.
First
Indeed!
@@motivatedtravel Ive just got the Roborock Flexi Pro - I didnt even realise Dyson had released one..But I must say I think the Roborock has the edge with the self cleaning base with hot water + blow drys the rollers + it vacuums and its cheaper
It clearly says “Edge Cleaning” and has an arrow showing you to use that side of the machine to clean edges.
@@Albertthedachs Well look at that, it does, too! I didn't even pick up it only being one edge that gets close. I honestly was circling my house in the other direction, Needed to go anti-clockwise. How much closer have you noticed it gest on that edge?
@@itking7360 I haven't used that one at home yet. But it did look impresive in the initial demos. Isn't it $999 as well though?
$1000 are you freaking mad 😮
Yeah, they don't come cheap.
600 quid... wtf
Hizero retailed for $700 USD initially for the first gen model. Companies price because they know people will buy. I still think it’s way too expensive, but Hizero and now Dyson are the only ones that separate solid from liquid making cleaning so much easier than current mainstream models that are a pain to clean afterwards.
Expensive, but on point with many of the competitors in terms of price. As mentioned in the video, I think it should be a little bit cheaper given its feature-set.
Wunsch Course
I'm sorry, I don't understand?
Disgusted by cleaning in the kitchen sink. Ew. I'm leaving now.
Enjoy your day.
Dysons are garbage. Get the tineco S7 pro.
Reviewing the S7 Pro Steam as we speak, thoughts coming soon!
Looks like its not that great.
It's simplicity is nice, but I think it's a bit over-priced.
