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.

I also place high importance on value for money in any appliance I test. This attachment can be used for dry or wet mopping. For damp mopping, fill in the included water reservoir, attach the two ultra microfiber pads to the bottom of the tool, and you are ready to mop! The water will be automatically released as the brushes spin & scrub your floors. You can control how much water is released to get the desired finish. The floors are almost completely dry and sparkling clean after the clean!

While it’s possible to get a full 60 minutes of runtime from the V15s Detect Submarine, that will only work with the non-motorized tools like the Hair Screw Tool and the Combination Tool or achievable in Eco mode. You’ll also get almost the whole 60 minutes with the Submarine roller head as the suction is switched off with it attached, however you'll run out of clean water long before you'll need to recharge the machine. The process of removing the wet roller, dumping the dirty water and wiping dirt and debris from the extraction plate was incredibly simple and, more importantly, not gross at all. OK, it was maybe a little gross, but compared to the process for emptying the wash water and cleaning the dirty, wet roller on other comparable floor care tools, this is one area where Dyson truly got it right.This exceptional attachment can be used on any floor type, including vinyl, wood floors, laminate flooring, tiles, and shiny porcelain.

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. The Dyson Hard looks confusing. Like the company’s cordless vacuums, the Hard sees a battery-powered vacuum cleaner extended by a ridged, metre long suction tube. Now, however, a boxy mop head has been plonked on the other end, instead of a standard vacuum cleaner component. This excellent attachment is fully motorised, so it does not use your suction to spin, giving it fast-spinning ability and will not slow down under slight pressure like other similar tools do!As a result of the oversaturation of the wet roller head, and the long drying time, after mopping my floors for the first time using the Submarine, there were visible streaks left behind on the floors. The floors were fairly clean prior to that first run — I had mopped with a traditional spin mop four days before testing the Submarine for the first time (I had company coming over, and also I was testing a different floor care product for work!), so it wasn’t an issue with my floors being overly dirty, which may have required a second pass with the Submarine. 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!
