I know I'm getting old when I'm really excited for a new Dyson product.

[dexterm]

As an engineer, I have massive respect for the Dyson company you can tell that the company spends a lot of time, money and energy on design and cares about performance and innovation. I don't have enough hard surfaces in my current home to justify buying one, but if I did, I would. Well done!

Waiting for someone to compare this to a regular $15 mop in terms of efficiency and ease of maintenance

[pawnfish]

why am i watching an ad for a vacuum cleaner?

[VacMaster]

This solves the major problem I have with all the wet dry floor cleaners out there. They are all super hard to clean out and require frequent maintenance to keep from smelling! The fact it separates wet and dry is fantastic!

[KilluaZoldyck-kcru]

This is the exact same mechanism by which Hizero (which has existed since 2017) works. Hizero has even won the Edison award and many more for their design.

Hizero has been the only bionic mop that completely separates wet and dry debris in the way Dyson is making it sound like they have, through "hardwork" and "R&D".

I challenge anyone to lookup a video on how Hizero works on here and you can judge for yourself if Dyson is really being innovative as they are intelligently alluding to be.

Now THAT'S a Dyson Wet floor vac if I've seen one!
Definitely excited for further development.

[josuemarquez]

I'm intrigued to see how well this handles my wife's abundant hair shedding. The rollers seem like they could accumulate hair quickly!

Can’t wait for the vacuum wars review on this

[salemas]

This ad is way better and more interesting than robo vacuum one. Good job.

[AndyHibberd]

Edited like they've cured cancer with this overcomplicated mop. Dyson is really at one end of the wealth divide.

[filmweaver]

A lot of robot mop companies put so much effort into building their software (which barely works because of a stupid formulaic standard autonomous vehicle hardware platform everyyyone copies from each other) that they don’t put any effort into the functional hardware side of things. Dyson knows that and perfects it and that’s what would make ppl wanna buy. If it is expensive and doesn’t work as magical, nobody cares how good your software is!

[Alice.]

I have to praise them for being honest here and showing that cleaning a dry stain is not a magical process and that just one pass isn't generally enough
Most manufacturers will always show the stain being removed in a single passage with their machines, none are ever honest about the fact that is often take more, so thanks for being (kinda) honest here

( On the other hand, ok the cleaner is pretty expensive for what it is, but it's Dyson, you know you pay the brand. And I can see some weaknesses in this cleaner compared to a more heavy duty model, but it's only the first (second with the submarine ? ) gen, it will only get better, and look like they are aiming for it to be more of a light duty model for quick everyday uses anyway, which is a good idea, there isn't a lot of options in this category )

[Vatsal]

This new gadget is pretty cool, but nothing can beat my epic mopping skills while jamming out to music and conquering chores!

[CharlesBojangles]

Unlike the robot (which is behind the curve, and doesn’t have any real USPs or unique selling points), this floor cleaner appears to be a true game changer in the hard floor cleaner segment.

[alborzdesign]

Real innovation right here. more interesting than any recent Apple keynote.

[OtherTaylor]

All of this knowledge and effort put towards a vacuum. I like it.

[apeiron]

I appreciate Dyson efforts, in the last 20 years. But still now, if you want your floor to be clean with no effort, you have to first vaccum them, and after, use a I-Mop Lite from I-team. it's a game changer.

[high_iq]

Im not even 30 and im so excited for this. Now take my money!

[aloysiusvo]

I always needed this for horror movie night
