Dyson is thought for its vacuum cleaners, however just lately it has been getting extra into moist hard-floor cleaners. Its first try launched in August 2024, and you’ll learn all about it in my Dyson WashG1 review. Now there is a new mannequin on the block: the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene.
Unlike the best wet-and-dry vacuums in the marketplace, neither use suction, however as a substitute harness a mix of hydration, agitation and separation to scrub your exhausting flooring. To put it one other method, they add water, dislodge dust utilizing cleverly designed rollers, after which separate stable and liquid waste for straightforward disposal.

1. It’s fiddly and messy to empty
The WashG1 has its dirty-water tank mounted to its deal with, and that is simple to take away and empty. The stable waste tray slots into the floorhead, and is barely extra complicated to suit, however nonetheless pretty easy.
In distinction, the Clean+Wash Hygiene has its dirty-water tank mounted into the highest of the floorhead, with a two-part stable waste tray built-in in. Separating the three elements is fiddly, and placing it again collectively once more much more so – and I say this as somebody who’s fairly good at jigsaws.
The knock-on impact of getting a extra sophisticated floorhead, with a lot of connecting elements, is that it is quite a bit leakier than the good, easy WashG1. Now, all of the moist flooring cleaners I’ve used are just a little bit drippy – it appears like an unavoidable downside – however the Clean+Wash Hygiene appears particularly unhealthy. It felt like each time I went to empty the dirty-water tank one thing would dribble out onto me or the ground.

2. There’s just one curler
The WashG1’s floorhead has two giant microfiber rollers and a bristled curler for stable messes, and delivers environment friendly cleansing. In distinction, the Clean+Wash Hygiene solely has house for one curler on its extra sophisticated floorhead.
I’ll say I do want the microfiber curler design on the Clean+Wash. The scrubbing motion is barely improved, due to the addition of wiry, longer fibers that reach a bit from the curler. My very best situation? The upgraded microfiber curler design, mounted within the outdated floorhead.

3. The water tanks are too small
The WashG1 has a 1L clean-water tank, and a 0.8L soiled tank, whereas the Clean+Wash Hygiene equivalents are 0.75L and 0.52L respectively, and the distinction was noticeable on take a look at; not a lot through the precise mopping – Dyson has tweaked the water supply so there’s solely a effective sheen of liquid utilized to flooring, eking out the clear water as a lot as doable – however through the self-clean cycle.
Each self-clean cycle makes use of greater than half a tank of unpolluted water, which suggests for the primary few occasions I ran considered one of these I needed to cease twice per cycle: as soon as to refill the clear water tank and once more to empty the soiled tank. Eventually I realized to do that earlier than every self-clean cycle to keep away from annoying interruptions.
The good thing about smaller tanks is a extra streamlined and lighter machine, so I can see why Dyson was eager to maintain issues compact right here – you may must determine your priorities when making your alternative.
4. Cleaning the dirty-water tank is hard
One of the issues I preferred in regards to the design of the dirty-water tank on the WashG1 – and one thing Dyson highlighted as an enormous profit after I was first proven that machine – was that the waste water tank was designed to be simple to scrub.
It’s huge sufficient that you would be able to get your hand in and wipe every little thing out, and there are not any awkward corners the place grime can gather. I’ve examined a lot of wet-dry vacuums now, and I’ve by no means seen something prefer it – soiled water tanks are all the time too small to get your hand in, and all the time have sharp edges that get grubby nearly immediately.
The setup on the Clean+Wash is particularly unhealthy, although. It opens with a screw cap, and there is not any entry to the within in any respect. It’s not the worst factor for a grimy water tank to be soiled, however this appears like an oversight by way of long-term upkeep.
