Dyson Unveils First Vacuum Cleaner with Mop Attachment... Wireless Vacuum Cleaner 'Three-Way Battle'

'Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine' Domestic Launch on 21st
Features Include 8 Nozzles and Pressurized Chamber

Dyson has entered the mop vacuum cleaner competition. They have newly introduced a mop cleaning roller head tailored for the wooden floor lifestyle in Korea. The 'three-way battle' in the cordless vacuum cleaner market with Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics is expected to become even more intense.

On the 21st, Dyson held a press briefing at the InterContinental Seoul COEX and unveiled the 'Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine.' This product features several cleaner heads equipped with Dyson's core cordless vacuum technologies, including illumination technology and anti-tangle technology, along with an added mop cleaning head.

This is the first time Dyson has introduced a vacuum cleaner with a mop cleaning function. Charlie Park, Vice President of R&D for Dyson's cordless vacuum cleaner division, explained, "We conduct annual global dust research monitoring changes in customers' living environments, housing conditions, and cleaning habits, and over the past decade, we have identified an increasing proportion of wooden floors. Additionally, research shows that consumers emphasize mopping as the finishing touch to cleaning, so we have strived to provide services suitable for consumers."

Dyson's mop cleaning head is designed to spray an appropriate amount of clean water to wipe away liquids, contaminants, and stubborn grime. To achieve this, eight spray nozzles have been designed, and a pressurized chamber is used to evenly wet the entire roller. The eight nozzles, positioned at regular intervals along the roller, accurately supply 18mL of water per minute, cleaning the floor evenly without leaving excessive moisture.

When fully filled with water, it can clean an area of about 110㎡ (approximately 30 pyeong), and the 360mL wastewater tank prevents dust and foreign substances from being released back onto the floor, allowing cleaning with clean water from start to finish, which is the biggest attraction. It is designed to remove contaminants and moisture in hard-to-clean places such as under furniture and corners, and the mop cleaning head weighs 1.3kg, providing mobility.

Vice President Charlie Park emphasized, "Existing mop cleaning methods mainly have user difficulties related to mobility, maintenance, and pickup performance. Dyson's solution addresses these issues, offering users a compact multi-function device with powerful cleaning performance."

However, it is regrettable that the mop cleaning head is not compatible with previous Dyson products. Charlie Park said, "The transition from vacuum motor to mop cleaning function means that previous products cannot recognize the cleaning head itself," adding, "We are potentially considering compatibility options for existing products."

Meanwhile, this product includes Dyson's Combination Tool and Crevice Tool, and through Dyson's motor-driven Hair Screw Tool, it is easy to clean long hair and pet fur. The Hair Screw Tool features a conical anti-tangle brush bar designed to prevent hair from wrapping around the brush bar. It sends contaminants such as hair and pet fur inside the house to the dustbin without tangling.
