Dyson, the company known for its high-performance fans, beauty tools, and vacuums, is venturing into new territory with the WashG1. This isn't your average mop; it's a cordless, battery-powered machine designed to tackle dirt and grime on hard floors with a unique approach.

Unlike traditional mops that simply spread dirty water around, the WashG1 boasts a clever system. It constantly pulses clean water onto its two counter-rotating microfiber rollers, ensuring you're always cleaning with fresh water.

Gone are the days of laborious scrubbing. The WashG1 uses mechanical agitation to loosen dried-on stains, requiring minimal effort from you. A built-in bristle brush tackles larger debris like crumbs, collecting it in a separate tray for easy disposal.

This may not be a robot mop with app connectivity, but Dyson prioritizes user experience. The WashG1 boasts a lightweight design thanks to the absence of a bulky vacuum motor and a smaller battery for extended cleaning sessions (up to 35 minutes). Additionally, the 27-ounce clean water tank allows you to mop a significant area (up to 3,100 square feet) without refilling.

While you'll still need to empty the dirty water tank and clean the debris tray (both dishwasher-safe!), the WashG1 offers a self-cleaning function for the rollers, saving you time and effort.

The WashG1 comes with a hefty price tag of $899.99 in Canada, significantly more than a traditional mop. However, for those seeking a more effective and hygienic cleaning experience, the WashG1 promises to be a game-changer. Its innovative approach and focus on user experience make it a compelling option, albeit a luxurious one.

Only time will tell how well the WashG1 lives up to its claims. While the price tag might deter some, Dyson's reputation for quality engineering is undeniable. This high-tech mop is certainly an intriguing option for those seeking a more effortless and effective cleaning solution for their hard floors. It is coming later this year, so you'll have to wait a bit for it.
