Dyson has just launched the Wash G1, its first wet mop/vacuum cleaner

Dyson has long produced some of the best vacuum cleaners for spotlessly clean carpets, and now the brand is introducing industry-leading technology for cleaning hard floors. The Dyson WashG1, launched in the U.S. on Tuesday, tackles messes, wet and dry, and separates all waste in a two-bin system.

This is the first completely wet cleaning product in the brand’s history. It is now available for $700 on Dyson’s website. The WashG1 is similar to Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners – especially the Dyson Detect 15 – except that the bin, which is usually attached to the handle, is closer to the brush bar. This is intended to provide room for a 27-ounce clean water tank, which Dyson claims can clean up to 3,100 square feet.

The Dyson WashG1 is able to separate debris and liquids from the rollers using extraction plates and additional brushes, cleaning the rollers and pushing debris into a removable tray. Within the tray, an extraction pump removes extra liquid, making final cleanup a simple task. Parts of the garbage containers are even dishwasher safe.

Two roller systems rotate in opposite directions to clean the floor of stubborn dirt. When cleaning, with one press of a button you can choose how much water is needed to clean up the mess. WashG1 evenly distributes clean water on the rollers from 26 nozzles to ensure that the microfiber rollers perfectly clean the mess. When you put the device away, the rollers are automatically cleaned, so it’s ready for the next mess.
