Dyson is primarily known for its lineup of high-end vacuums, but today it has officially launched its first dedicated wet floor cleaner, the Dyson WashG1. Built specifically to handle all sorts of messes on hard floors, it can tackle both wet and dry debris in a single pass — making it a nice complement to other floor cleaners like robot vacuums and cordless vacuums.
The WashG1 is built with two motorized, counter-rotating microfiber rollers. These are continuously saturated as you push the device around your home, allowing them to pull all sorts of spills and stains off your hard floors. A 27-ounce clean water tank is located above the rollers and should provide enough moisture to clean up to 3,100 square feet. Dyson says the device is suitable for tile, laminate, vinyl, and sealed wood floors.
While the Dyson WashG1 can’t connect to smart home platforms like Google Home, it’s still plenty smart. The main breakthrough is its separation technology, which allows it to attack both wet and dry debris without the need for you to manipulate any settings.
As you push the WashG1 across your hard floors, it’ll automatically pull dirty water from the rollers using extraction plates. Hard debris and dirt, meanwhile, are pulled away by nylon-bristled brushes. There’s also a 500-micron mesh to keep chunks of dirt out of the dirty water tank, allowing for a more hygienic device and easier maintenance.
Once you’re done cleaning your home, you can dock the WashG1 in its charging station and activate a self-cleaning mode. This will douse its rollers in clean water and flush the system of any leftover gunk, ensuring the WashG1 is ready for the next mopping.
You’ll only get around 35 minutes of run time out of a full charge, though it can charge in as little as 140 seconds — but unless you have a massive (or super messy) home, 35 minutes should be sufficient.
The Dyson WashG1 is now available on the Dyson website for $700. If you’re looking for a more automated cleaning, be sure to check out our roundup of the best robot vacuum and mop combos. They may not be as powerful as the WashG1, but they’re a great way to keep your carpets and hard floors clean without much effort.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
