The Dyson WashG1 wet floor cleaner is finally available in the US – but read this before you spend any money

The WashG1 is a dedicated wet floor cleaner and Dyson’s first attempt to prove it doesn’t just do carpets. It launched in the UK and Australia last month, but has just gone on sale in the US. It is currently only available for buy direct from Dysonand has a list price of $699.99.

Loosen those pearls; we all knew it was going to be expensive. I think some Dyson products justify their eye-watering price tags, but in this case there are things worth considering before you decide to gamble your child’s college fund on a wet floor cleaner.

I tested one out and you can get the full rundown in my Dyson WashG1 review, but the gist is that it works fantastically well on perfectly smooth, flat floors like linoleum or polished concrete, but isn’t nearly as impressive on textured or uneven surfaces. floors (including tile floors with grout joints).

This is Dyson’s first dedicated wet floor cleaner (I say ‘special’ because we have the Dyson V15s Submarine, a vacuum cleaner with a swappable wet floor nozzle). Significantly for this brand, which has built its reputation on being very good at moving air, it doesn’t use suction. Instead, a combination of agitation, hydration and separation is used to make your floors shine.
