Testing the new Dyson wet floor cleaner made me love my WashG1 even more — and it just crashed to an absurdly cheap price

This Dyson WashG1 deal made me do a double-take

Dyson has just brought out a new wet floor cleaner, but (as you can read in my Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene review) I'm not 100% sold on the design. In fact, testing that new model made me appreciate the old version even more. The WashG1 is ultra-nimble, with an effective, full-coverage floorhead design and easy-to-clean water tanks.

The main issue I had with the WashG1 was that I felt it didn't quite offer enough for the price — at $769.99 / £599.99, it's officially one of the most expensive wet floor cleaners on the market. Except it has just plummeted in price: right now, the Dyson WashG1 is $399.99 at Amazon (or direct from Dyson if you prefer) in the US, and just £299 at Very in the UK.

At that price it's a no-brainer. It's a far cry from the bulky, heavy, noisy machine you might be imagining when you picture a wet-and-dry vacuum — it feels light and nimble to move, and because there's no suction involved, it's relatively quiet in operation too. It clears dirt and liquid-solid spills with ease, and comes with a self-wash cycle that keeps the roller fresh.

I suspect the reason for this mega-discount is that Dyson is phasing out the WashG1 to make room for the new model — but as I think I've made clear, I actually prefer the WashG1 to the Clean+Wash Hygiene anyway. Read on for more info on the deal, plus some alternatives from other brands, if you'd like to compare your options.

This wet floor cleaner had a massive 48% price-cut for Presidents' Day, and it's still that cheap today. This discount takes it to $100 below the previous cheapest-ever price. It looks like Dyson might be phasing it out in favor of a newer version — but I actually prefer this model, anyway. This deal is also available direct from Dyson.

Dyson WashG1: was £599 now £299 at very.co.uk

Dyson's original wet floor cleaner is half price at Very. That's an incredible deal — I've seen occasional discounts on this cleaner before, but nothing near this generous. It could potentially be being phased out to make room for the new model, but in many ways I prefer this version. Snap it up before it sells out.
