Dyson - Clean+Wash Hygiene Wet and Dry Hard Floor Cleaner - Prussian Blue/Copper

Certain products make daily life easier, while others are more trouble than they're worth. Thankfully, for us, the new Dyson Clean + Hygiene makes cleaning hardwood floors easier. This isn't meant to replace a typical vacuum, but rather complement a dry vac. It's made for hardwood, tile, or other non-carpet flooring, and it works well so far. Other reviews mention the difficulty of cleaning it, but I'd say it's rather easy as long as you take the necessary steps. Is it 100% hands off? No. But I could probably teach my toddler to do it. The cleaning is very effective, and the added solution for your clean water makes the floors feel extra clean, but it won't "polish" or anything like that. It'll clean them. That's what it's built for. It's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and docks easily. It has a self-cleaning function that cleans the internals, which takes about 20 minutes on average. It's not as loud as others, but you can definitely hear it drying. I'd say the only con may be the price when compared to other companies (like Dreame, Roborock, etc.). Those companies are determined to make a name for themselves without inflated pricing, so when it comes to this relatively simple machine, I'd say it could be priced more competitively. Still, with Dyson, you generally get what you pay for.

I bought this for my basement and PVC flooring. I recommend it but the main drawback is the size of the dirty water bin is pretty small and you need to empty it 2-3 times per clean water bin. So a little back and forth. It cleans well overall and I am still glad I grabbed it.

For years my family has enjoyed using Dyson's innovative fans, vacuums, & hair dryers. Typically, we find their engineering to be innovative and more importantly - functional. While their prices are often on the higher side, we find that their function and quality usually justifies spending the extra cash. But, with this Dyson Clean+Wash Wet & Dry Hard Floor Cleaner - we are left with very mixed feelings. Before I complain, I do want to admit that the vacuum does technically work quite well. It is light weight, has excellent battery life, is easy to maneuver around (and even under) furniture, and the water residue left on the floor dries MUCH more quickly than with the average mop. But, that is where my praise ends. First, I need to clarify that this vacuum truly is not useful for any dry vacuuming. It is important to know that there is no way to turn off the wet cleaning function. If there is water in the tank, the floor is getting wet. ...And, while it is possible to use the vacuum with an empty water tank - or with the water tank completely un-attached, the compartment that captures dry debris is incredibly small. Also, if the water tank is attached - any dry debris that is vacuumed up off the floor ends up wet and goopy. My second issue is with cleaning the vacuum. After every use, the vacuum head & water compartment needs to be disassembled and manually washed and cleaned. And, even after using the vacuum for a couple of weeks, piecing the components back together is still confusing. Dyson does a pretty wonderful job of including an app containing videos on how to use the vacuum, but the instructions did not explain that the device has its own cleaning function that actually dries the roller. The instructional videos made it seem as though the roller needs to be left out to dry...a process that takes much longer than the 24 hours listed in the video instructions. But, be aware that the self-cleaning process is loud and takes around 30 minutes. If the vacuum is stored anywhere near the living room, you are going to be able to hear it and it will absolutely interrupt your nightly TV viewing. 3rd is the build quality. While the center structure of the vacuum is a metal tube, EVERY OTHER PART OF THE VACUUM IS PLASITC. It feels like plastic and it looks like plastic. And, the plastic is a static magnet for dirt & hair. The vacuum itself is perpetually dirty and always wet. The design of the graywater tank is such that clearing out all of the dirty water is nearly impossible - and if the tank is not held absolutely parallel to the floor, it drips and leaks. While the mop function works well, the physical object does not feel like a quality build. The handle feels especially cheap and the whole device creeks and cracks as it moves along. My fourth annoyance is they styling. Per usual, Dyson swung for the fences when it comes to style. The vacuum is Purple and Blue and Red and Black and Copper and Turquoise - all which ends up covered in smudges and pet hair. I feel as though the vacuum needs to be cleaned more often than my actual floors. While I'm not impressed with the execution - I do think that the mopping feature is helpful to a certain type of person. If you are the type who already mops your floor with a bucket of water and a mop - you really don't need this machine. But, if you're like me, and you almost never mop your floors - this vacuum is quick to access and easy to use. The battery life is excellent, the mop does a good job of actually cleaning (specifically mopping) hardwood floors, the floors dry very quickly, but maintenance and clean-up is annoying. While Dyson certainly has many areas in which they could improve this device, I would reluctantly recommend this as a mop to those (like me) who just never seem to get around to using a manual mop.

Out of the box, the Dyson Clean and Wash is easy to assemble, easy to connect, and up and running in minutes. It is aesthetically modern, with sleek edges, brass accents, and sharp angles that give a futuristic look and a modern touch to wherever you place it in your home. The unit itself feels very well made and sturdy—same with the base. The quality of the materials and the craftsmanship of the aesthetics are not where the main issues lie, which I’ll get to later in the review. Setup: Out of the box, you simply click and place the pieces together, set it on the stand, and plug it in to begin charging. A short video plays on the easy-to-read LCD display, guiding you through the next steps in the process. The LED screen and menus are controlled by a single button press, with a long press for selection. This moves pretty swiftly, and to my surprise, the single-button control works without being irritating. There are just the right number of menus and options, so you’re not searching endlessly. Shortly after the initial setup, you’re presented with a barcode that connects you to the Dyson app, which I already have for other devices. You can use it to further customize the machine to your liking, and it also keeps track of things like warranty and serial number. Note that the app is not necessary, but it is a nice addition. After charging, I filled the water tank, added a bit of cleaning solution, and was ready to give it a try. I did a couple of tests—both standard usage and some “controlled chaos.” For standard use, I ran it across my kitchen floor (laminate with a thin mat covering part of it), then in the bathroom. In both areas, where there were no obstructions, it is self-propelled forward and glides with ease—much easier than using a standard mop or a Swiffer. Because of the propulsion, much less force is needed to clean tough spots. With the mat, it did snag a few times, but if I approached it at the right angle, it was able to go over it without catching too often. I assume this is because the clearance of the unit is very low to maintain maximum contact with the floor. Not a major issue, just something to note if you have vinyl mats or similar. Also, if you have any type of cloth mat in your bathroom, you may want to remove it beforehand and shake it out. This machine is not meant for carpet, as it doesn’t have a way to turn off water flow. It provides different levels of “hydration,” but no option to fully disable it. For the controlled chaos test, I poured water on the floor and added some Cheerios. One of the main features I was looking forward to was having a wet/dry machine to handle spills while cleaning. It passed this test with flying colors. The Cheerios were swept up, the liquid was removed with a few passes, and the floor looked freshly mopped. No complaints here—debris suction was good, and water removal and mopping were excellent. In summary, it can eliminate the need to sweep and mop in separate steps in most situations. Now, this is where it starts to fall short. The process to get it into self-cleaning mode can be a bit cumbersome, involving several steps that aren’t as easy as the promotional videos suggest. First, you must empty the dirty water tank and the debris tray. In my testing, I found that once you removed the dirty water tank, it would leak if tilted. I tried it several times and got the same result—that’s a poor design choice. When emptying the debris tray, the video doesn’t show that the debris will most likely be wet. So it’s not as simple as dumping it out—you’ll have to rinse it off in the sink or wherever you clean it. It makes sense logically, but since they emphasize separation, you might not expect the sludge that still needs to be cleaned out. After that, you need to refill the clean water tank to run the self-clean cycle. The self-cleaning process works well, but it is long and somewhat loud. It seems to run with a heating element for about 30 minutes. It’s not extremely loud, but definitely noticeable. Once it’s done, you’ll again need to remove, empty, and rinse the dirty water tank. Then you’re good to go for the next use. Compared to rinsing and wringing a standard mop and dusting out a broom, this is still easier. But for a machine marketed as all-in-one, the cleaning process can feel a bit cumbersome. That said, it’s not entirely clear how they could significantly improve this. Another flaw is that it’s not great on edges or in corners. If your cabinets have any kind of lip, it won’t reach underneath them. While it can lay flat to reach under chairs and similar furniture—which is very useful—the clearance is still too high to get under cabinets. For deeper cleans, you’ll need to use a broom to pull debris out from corners and edges, and possibly follow up with a mop or Swiffer. For general maintenance, this isn’t a major issue. But for deep cleaning, you’ll still need traditional tools to finish the job. Battery life is excellent. I was able to clean both of my floors and still had 85% battery remaining. Aside from the charging base, it is completely wireless, making it easy to move around wherever needed—especially for hardwood floors, kitchens, and bathrooms. One smaller thing I appreciate is that you don’t need distilled water or anything special just because it’s a Dyson. It uses regular water with a standard cleaning solution, and the only component you may need to replace over time is the roller—which is expected with any mopping device. Overall, I think this is a great machine. Does it live up to expectations? For the most part, yes—but it definitely falls short when it comes to effortlessly achieving a complete clean.

I have been using swiffer but it dose not do the job this does. I could not believe how much it pulls up.
