Earlier this year, I downsized from a house with nearly unlimited storage to an apartment and was forced to make some tough decisions about what floor cleaning devices I was going to take with me.
Because I have a big, hairy rescue mutt, I decided to keep a small-but-mighty Dyson stick vacuum, and because my entire place has hardwood floors, I kept my Tineco mop vac too. I said goodbye to everything else—including but not limited to a robot vacuum that also mops due to its bulky docking station.
I thought my system was pretty streamlined, but a new device from Dyson has me considering parting with my beloved mop vac.
The V15s Detect Submarine is a Dyson stick vacuum with an additional wet mopping component that can be attached to the shaft just like you'd attach the hard floor roller or motorized rug roller. Unlike a true mop vac, which simultaneously mops and vacuums at the same time, the Submarine vacuums and mops separately, with separate heads. It doesn't suck up anything while it mops (the motor just powers the microfiber mop roller and water situation) so it doesn't clean hard floors in one pass like a mop vac does.
But in my product testing, I found that even the best mop vac sucks at vacuuming rugs—and that's where the V15s Detect Submarine excels. It is, first and foremost, a powerful Dyson stick vacuum. It also happens to have an optional wet-mopping function.
It's not perfect, but for a do-it-all device, it's pretty damn close.
