Dyson unveils the Dyson WashG1™, its latest floorcare technology. Designed to deliver powerful, hygienic clean on hard floors, across large spaces, the machine has a 1-litre clean water tank to cover flooring up to 290m2 in a single charge.
It uses a combination of hydration, absorption and extraction technologies to rapidly remove wet and dry dirt and tough stains in one go - automatically separating it out, so maintenance is more hygienic.
“Wet cleaning is considered a necessary chore globally and the perceived burden has been the target of a vast array of wet floor cleaning formats. Despite this, users’ expectations are often left compromised when it comes to stain removal, pick-up performance and floor finish. Dyson engineers solve the problems others ignore and we thrive on the challenge of creating better technology. The Dyson WashG1™ is the result of this; our first dedicated wet machine to wash hard floors, properly and hygienically.” – Charlie Park, VP of Floorcare at Dyson.
Pioneering separation technology for hygienic maintenance
Dyson’s WashG1™ has a unique separation technology that divides debris and dirty water at source, for hygienic, no-touch disposal. Dirty water is extracted from the rollers by a durable mangle, whilst secondary nylon bristled inner brush bars remove dirt and debris from the microfibre rollers, flicking it straight into a removable debris tray.
It also has a debris tray with a 500-micron mesh to separate dirty water from the large debris. Powered by an extraction pump, dirty water is immediately collected in a 0.8-litre capacity dirty water tank without allowing large debris to pass through the machine.
To further support ease-of-maintenance for users, the Dyson WashG1™ has been intricately designed without sharp internal surfaces or crevices, to help lessen dirt or grime build-up inside the machine. Both water tanks have been designed with large openings to allow for easy maintenance and cleaning.
Highly absorbent, counter-rotating rollers
Present on the Dyson WashG1™ are individually powered rollers, counter-rotate whilst a pulse-modulated pump distributes water evenly across 26 hydration points, along the full width of each roller.
Each roller is made up of a unique, highly absorbent microfibre, with 64,800 filaments per cm2. This combination of high-density microfibre and consistent application of clean water ensures liquid spills are absorbed, whilst dry dirt, debris and hair are enveloped by the millions of high-density filaments.
Additionally, by positioning two rollers at the front and back of the machine, Dyson engineers also achieved longer dwell time on stains with each pass, for powerful and fast stain removal.
Customised hydration control for an optimum floor finish
The Dyson WashG1™ is also designed with in-use hydration control, allowing owners to select the level of hydration required based on debris type, flooring and personal preference. Aside from the standard low, medium, and high modes, each features an additional three sensitivity settings to allow owners to fine-tune them to their individual cleaning needs.
There's also a separate boost mode button that purges each roller with the maximum amount of hydration when pressed for the removal of stubborn dirt and dried-on stains.
“Stain removal performance is dependent on the correlation of hydration of the floor and agitation applied. We’ve engineered our machine to allow owners full control, enabling them to deep clean their homes effectively.” – Charlie Park, VP of Floorcare at Dyson.
Manoeuvrability and edge-to-edge cleaning
To allow for edge-to-edge cleaning, the Dyson WashG1™ has been designed with two motors that sit within each microfibre roller.
For optimised manoeuvrability, Dyson engineers fine-tuned each motor to spin at a consistent speed in accordance with the hydration mode selected, allowing the machine to glide effortlessly whilst cleaning is in process. Adopting technology from the Dyson Omni-glide, casters provide additional balance and weight support whilst the low cleaner head height allows for easy reach underneath furniture.
