DYSON is known the world over for cleaning products that literally suck. But the company recently announced a brand new machine that doesn't rely on suction. 2 Dyson's new WashG1 is for hard floors Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun 2 No more spreading dirty mop water all over your floors Credit: Jamie Harris / The Sun In fact, you can't even use it on carpets.
The WashG1 is Dyson's first dedicated wet floor cleaning gizmo designed to replace the humble mop. Why? Well, a Dyson study has found that three-quarters of UK households now have hard floors. And as the firm pointed out during a recent hands-on test of the new product, mops are quite filthy too.
After one dip, the water is made dirty by all the germs and nasties you've just sucked up as it rotates. How does it work? Dyson's answer is making two individually powered rollers counter-rotate while water is pumped out. The microfibre filament is effectively squeezed and scraped of dirt that's just been scooped up.
Dirty water and hard debris is extracted and deposited into separate zones, so you can pour the water away without any bigger bits clogging your drainage. It's a unique approach in true Dyson fashion - but doesn't come cheap either at £599.99.
