The latest offering by Dyson is the new Dyson V12s Submarine. This combo set consists of not just a Head Screw Tool and a Fluffy Optic Cleaner Head, known for its utilisation of a light that reveals microscopic dust. It also comes with the new motorised mop head that is designed with a clean and dirty water tank.
Equipped with a Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor that spins at up to 125,000rpm, and designed with Root Cyclone™ technology that lifts up heady dust; the V12s Detect Slim Submarine is a powerful one that's great for heavy-duty vacuuming as well as day-to-day stained floor mopping.
A catch to the dreamy Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine is that this set will set you back a whopping RM4,499. While price and value are subjective to everyone, we can't help but also agree that it's a price that's difficult to justify.
So is there a way to know if you should invest in a V12s Detect Slim Submarine? After having spent a couple of weeks with the V12s Detect Slim Submarine, here's our take on the 3 best reasons to get it + 2 reasons to carefully think about. Hopefully, this mini guide helps you with making the right decision for your own home.
Reasons to buy the Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine:
1. You Want to Do More Micro-Cleaning
Micro-cleaning has many benefits to your mental and physical well-being. They not only save time but actually make cleaning more seamless. Instead of using more pressure to clean stubborn stains on a floor for an hour, just use 10 minutes for 2 or 3 days per week to save a lot of time overall. This also mentally motivates you to make cleaning a habit rather than it a tedious house chore.
When you start micro-cleaning with a product like the V12s Detect Slim Submarine, you'll find it quicker to clean up spills or stains due to dealing with minimal water and equipment cleaning.
Instead of preparing a mop and a bucket of water, just fill up the Submarine head's water capacity with water plus a detergent of your choice. Then run the Dyson V12s Detect Slim with the Submarine roller head over the spot you want to clean with a push of the button. Finally, empty any dirt and the dirty water reservoir, then clean the roller head with water (plus soap) and leave it to dry. Done!
2. Ease of Cleaning + Less Chemical Detergents Used
While not an obvious benefit, it is a huge one.
Electric mops, especially steam mops, can actually reduce the need for chemical cleaning agents due to the fact that it only uses water alone to sanitise the floor, which is a positive step for the environment.
In this case, if you're only concerned about stains and dirt being stuck to the floor, electric mops like the Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine are great enough with water alone since the roller brush not only uses vibration but also pressure to clean and give the floor a polished feel (tried and tested by us).
However, they do use electricity, so it's a trade-off between chemical reduction and energy consumption.
3. You Have Crazy Kids and/or Pets
It's inevitable that pets and kids will cause more mess. This means you're likely to pick up your mop and clean often just to have a comfortable environment for both you and your family.
However, cleaning several times a day can be tiring and uncomfortable especially for your hands, as you'll need to not only squeeze out excess water from the mop but also clean any mopping equipment after.
By using the Submarine roller head with the Dyson V12s Detect Slim, just attach the mop head within seconds, and then start it with a push of the button.
There's no need to pre-wet the roller head with your hands as the mop is designed to self-moisturise (within a minute) before you can run it over the floor. After that, just detach, wash and dry the mop head. That's it!
The best part is that the Fluffy vacuum head is powerful enough to do heavy-duty cleaning despite being a cordless vacuum. More power to your wallet and house!
