DrRobor Electric Mop Head Attachment for Dyson V15 V11 V10 V8 V7 Vacuum Cleaner with Removable Water Tank, 12 Washable Mop Pads

Product Information

Unlike both the Gen5detect and the V15 Detect, I find the V15s Detect Submarine a lot easier to move around, no matter which cleaning head I’m using. According to Dyson’s spec sheet, the Complete model weighs 3.8kg, compared to the V15 Detect at 3.1kg and the Gen5detect at 3.5kg. I think that’s a mistake as it feels lighter than the V15 Detect in the hand, and the Submarine roller just makes it super easy to drag along a floor. I’ve tried measuring the machine myself on a weighing scale, but because I have to hold it in place, the measurements aren’t accurate and come in at just under 3kg, which can’t be right either. This is far from ideal and clearly something Dyson didn’t think through. There’s no way to know how much mop water is filling up in the compartment behind the roller as the display only shows how much clean water you have left to work with. If it was the other way around, perhaps the unsealed compartment wouldn’t have been such a bother and I could empty the dirty water after mopping each room (which, again, is not ideal). Not everyone is going to lug the drip tray around as they mop or remember to place it exactly where you finish. And while this design flaw might seem like a small one, it ends up being a bigger issue for the end consumer to deal with.

Note: This mop must not absorb water directly. You can spray clean water on the floor, or the mop head to clean it, or moisten the mop first and wring out the water before mopping the floor. For dry mopping, simply remove the water reservoir or leave it empty - the dry microfiber will polish off any marks or streaks on your floor, leaving it sparkling and shiny! Reusable Pads: The mop pads are reusable. In other words, you won’t have to keep buying refills, which will save you money in the long run.Small and Compact: The attachment is small and compact aka it won’t take up much space storage-wise. This makes it a good option for those who want an electric mop but live in a small space. With the motorized tools – namely the Digital Motorhead and the Fluffy Optic – you can get anywhere between 40 to 45 minutes in Auto mode, depending on how often the dynamic suction comes into play. If your home is particularly dirty and the suction changes often, you may get less than 40 minutes, but you can also get up to 50 minutes if there isn't a lot of dust. You have to place the pads properly on the mop head, otherwise, they can brush against each other, which isn’t what you want when you’re trying to clean the floor. Keep in mind, however, that they don’t spin that much even with proper alignment. They’ll work, but you’ll probably want more power if you’re dealing with big stains or messes. We mentioned this earlier but the attachment is just an attachment; there’s no water tank like an actual electric mop. In other words, you have to manually wet the pads and floor yourself with a spray bottle. Some people might find this to be a hassle.

I’ve used the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine two to three times a week for four weeks as my main vacuum, while also running the Dyson V15 Detect to compare suction during vacuuming. I allowed hair and dust to accumulate on the carpet in one room before the first test run. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Submarine attachment doesn’t hold a lot of clean water. You’ll be able to do a large living room only before you’ll need to refill the little bottle in the cleaning head. So if your multi-room home is all hard floors, you’ll need to fill it often and empty the dirty water just as often, which may not be ideal for everyone. What floor can it be used on? This exceptional attachment can be used on any floor type, including vinyl, wood floors, laminate flooring, tiles, and shiny porcelain. I hoped for better for this attachment. There are barely any instructions so I’m not sure if I’m using it correctly. It looks like you stand on the red button & it sprays water, however, mine just drips a bit. There is nothing to say what the small thing in the picture is. You have to go over the floor multiple times as it leaves a line between the two pads. I’ve attached mine to the V10 & it fits no problem & also does actually vacuum at the same time.This is where someone at Dyson didn’t think things through as the compartment isn’t well sealed. That means that after you finish mopping and you want to remove the head to clean it, you will be dripping water on the floor as it sloshes around due to the movement. The only way that I found to avoid this is to make sure the drip tray – a grey plastic tray that fits under the Submarine head – is placed by the sink you’re going to be cleaning the head at before you start to mop. The moment you finish, place the drip tray under the head and then detach it. It’s not foolproof though and you might just need the head again to mop up the spill you just created. I also scattered different-sized grain on the floor to test vacuuming, including sugar, rice, Cheerios and tapioca pearls. I then used the Digital Motorbar and the Fluffy Optic to vacuum to determine which one does best on such debris.

The Dyson Submarine is equipped with a microfiber roller that is therefore suitable for liquids. Not a fan of mopping? You can always get an electric mop. Instead of doing the work yourself, all you have to do is press a button. The mop pads will start to spin and it’ll clean the floors for you. You just have to apply a cleaner.

The product doesn’t come with any instructions. Even the writing on the box is in Chinese. The good news is that setup is relatively straightforward so you’ll be able to figure it out even without an instruction manual. During my testing, I managed to get 62 minutes in Eco mode, but I wasn’t quite enthused by the clean I got in this mode. On the other hand, Boost is great for carpets but you can expect to run out of juice in about 8 minutes. Two-in-One: Just because you’re using the mop head attachment doesn’t mean that you won’t get any suction. If anything, it’ll turn your Dyson into a vacuum and mop all-in-one. Regular mopping is the best way to prevent pollen, dust, and pet dander from accumulating on the floor. Not only will it be better for your health, but it’ll also keep your floor looking its best (i.e. there won’t be any debris that can cause tiny scratches).Water can get inside the vacuum if you’re not careful and that can damage the motor over time. How Well Does It Clean? The mop pads get quite heavy when they’re wet. Depending on how often you use it, the excess torque may put extra strain on the motor, which may shorten the life of the Dyson vacuum.

If you opt for the Complete model, then you also get an updated version of the Fluffy Optic. Instead of the original laser light that I thought was superfluous in the V15 Detect, there’s now an LED light that functions a lot better. As I’ve said earlier in this review, the beam of light is now broader and brighter, so you can see it in any kind of ambient lighting condition and see more of the floor to let you clean more efficiently.It also comes with six mop pads. To attach them, align the pads with the circular base at the bottom of the attachment. Press down gently and they will stay in place.
