Note: The electric mop head attachment is just an attachment; it does not come with a water container or tank. In other words, you’ll have to manually wet the pads yourself. We recommend using a spray bottle filled with a cleaning solution. With that said, you can also use it dry to polish your floors. Build Quality Considering the V15s Detect Submarine is Dyson’s first vacuum mop, I think the company has done quite well. The appliance’s vacuuming skills are, as before, quite good. It’s the same vacuuming performance we saw from the V15 Detect, just quieter. So carpets are well taken care of, as are hard floors. The dynamic suction we’ve seen in the last few Dyson models is here, so most users will only need to leave the machine in Auto mode and it will do its thing and, as before, I still think the Digital Motorbar is the catch-all tool for any kind of floor. However, if it’s mostly fine dust in your home and you don’t have pets, then the Fluffy Optic that ships with the Complete model is good and no longer the novelty that I thought it was when I tested the V15 Detect. 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. Resemblance to previous models aside, the standout here is the new mopping head. It took Dyson a long time to get here but it’s finally competing with the likes of the Samsung Bespoke Jet and the LG CordZero A9 Kompressor Aqua. With typical Dyson aesthetic, the new Submarine wet roller head has clean lines, a velvet roller, a small clean water ‘bottle’ (yes, it does resemble a water bottle) and, somewhere behind it all, a small compartment for the dirty mop water to collect.

The attachment can drain the battery due to the heaviness of the pads. Don’t expect to be able to clean an entire room—you will have to recharge it before that happens. Maintaining the Submarine is easy as the velvet roller comes off and is fully washable, and you can rinse out the entire cleaning head – press a marked red button and the two parts slide apart. The LED display is the same as we’ve seen on the V15 Detect, with the graphical representation of the dust and dirt the same vertical graph (as opposed to the horizontal one on the Gen5detect). When the Submarine tool is attached, it displays the percentage of clean water available. A button below the display will let you change the power mode.

Pros of the Funteck Electric Mop Head Attachment

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. People who love Dyson products and who are ready to upgrade their existing vacuum will be the ideal buyers for this particular machine, as will people looking for a next-level vacuum-mop combo. The V15s Detect Submarine was better than any wet-dry floor care tool I’ve tried. I predominantly bought this part to vac my floor because the head on the Dyson keeps scratching my wooden floor boards. I can’t seem to get a confirming response if that is what this product can do. Are the round pads only for mopping or do they work for vacuuming only? He went on to explain he’d seen other videos raving about the unofficial attachment, explaining it works by removing the vacuum’s regular brush head and replacing it with a mop you add water to. Convenient to Use: The mop head attachment is super convenient to use. Just attach it to your Dyson vacuum when you want to mop and you’re ready to go.

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. 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.While we found some significant performance issues with the V15s Detect Submarine, overall this is a truly impressive piece of machinery that we recommend, with reservations, for most homes. 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. 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. 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.
