Dyson's latest innovation, the Wash G1, marks the company's first foray into dedicated hard floor cleaning. Unlike Dyson's traditional vacuum cleaners, the Wash G1 skips suction and cyclone technology, opting for high-speed rollers, water, and nylon bristles instead.

Introducing Dyson's Wash G1
Cleaning floors is often an annoying and time-consuming chore, largely due to the inadequacy of our tools. The issue becomes even more pronounced in many households, including those with multiple occupants and pets.
Traditional cleaning implements like Swiffers are criticized for generating excessive waste, while the manual handling required by conventional wet mops poses hygiene concerns. Automated robot vacuum mops are criticized for their slow operation and substantial floor space requirement.
However, Dyson introduces its latest creation: the WashG1, its inaugural wet floor cleaner. The Verge reported that Tom Moody, president of Dyson Home, highlights this challenge as a key focus for their engineers, aiming to eliminate the common practice of inadvertently redistributing grime while mopping.
Featuring dual clean- and dirty-water tanks, this mop utilizes two counter-rotating absorbent microfiber filament rollers to tackle both solid and wet messes effectively. Priced at $700, the WashG1 offers a premium upgrade from conventional mops and will be available later this year.
The Wash G1 was developed in response to the growing trend of hard flooring in homes worldwide. As fewer rooms are carpeted, Dyson identified a need for a more effective hard-floor cleaning solution.
Traditional mopping methods often result in smears and streaks, and diluted dirt spreads around. The Wash G1's advanced design aims to tackle these issues.

Engadget reported that Dyson's innovative approach maintains a clear demarcation between clean and dirty water during the cleaning process. Dual microfiber rollers apply water while mechanically eliminating stains and dirt.
Equipped with 26 hydration points, the Wash G1 ensures precise saturation of the microfiber rollers, guaranteeing they are adequately hydrated to tackle tough stains and dried-on dirt.
Dyson asserts that a single tank of water can cover an area equivalent to a tennis court, although this may vary based on the machine's settings.
The device offers three hydration levels, with an additional maximum setting that expedites water drainage, delivering maximum moisture for stubborn stains.
To ensure thorough cleaning even along floor edges, Dyson has repositioned the roller's engines to one side, allowing the right side to track walls and edges closely.
While lacking the bells and whistles of smart technology or app connectivity, the WashG1 by Dyson stands out for its sheer efficiency in mopping.
Unlike robotic counterparts that autonomously clean floors, Dyson's approach requires manual operation, requiring users to push the device.
Despite Dyson offering a combination upright vacuum and mop, the Dyson Submarine, the WashG1, focuses solely on mopping.
Nonetheless, true to Dyson's reputation for innovation, the WashG1 is perfectly engineered to address a common issue with conventional mops: the spread of dirty water during cleaning.
