This is one of those things that you have to experience to truly understand: When it’s in mopping mode (i. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. The hinged cleaning head allowed us to quickly and easily switch directions to address stains of all shapes and sizes. It left the floors quite wet, and even in the desert climate I live in, drying time was longer than it usually is after using a traditional string mop, a Swiffer WetJet or an electric mop. If the roller head had not been quite so wet, I believe it would have been better able to pick up that sludge; as it was, it took several passes over the same area for the microfiber roller to pick up the dirt it deposited onto the floor.

While the Digital Motorbar on the base model of the Submarine is identical to the V15 Detect’s, the one on the Complete model has been given a bit of a facelift to match the gold aesthetic of the handstick – the inner roller is also gold. The Submarine wet roller head very definitely delivers a wet-mopping experience that offers no control over how much water is used for cleaning. Because the dock is made of plastic, it allows users to put the roller head attachment away immediately after emptying and cleaning it; you do not have to wait for the roller to dry, because the dock will keep the wet microfiber from coming into contact with your floors. However, the integrated crevice tool that we first saw in the Gen5detect is here and it does not work as well as the one you get separately with the base model of the V15s Detect Submarine or the older Dyson models.The floors were fairly clean prior to that first run — I had mopped with a traditional spin mop four days before testing the Submarine for the first time (I had company coming over, and also I was testing a different floor care product for work! The Submarine will take care of that and do an impressive job of cleaning up the mud – whether dried or wet – and the stains on the floor.

Get ready to figure out setup and usage using your intuition, because the instructions Dyson provides are quite sparse. Dyson might be the most popular brand of vacuum cleaner on the market but you can get cheaper vacuum mops.We do not recommend the usage of any third party, non-genuine tool attachments with Dyson machines as they have not been tested to our reliability and safety standards,” she said. For those who are wondering, there is an opening at the center of the attachment for debris to enter the vacuum (that’s how it acts as a 2-in-1). Like the company’s cordless vacuums, the Hard sees a battery-powered vacuum cleaner extended by a ridged, metre long suction tube.
