Dyson just released mopping versions of its best vacuums – and they’re already discounted in the Black Friday sales

• Dyson has launched Submarine versions of its V12 and V10 vacuums, alongside the V15
• These are the standard vacuum but with an extra mopping floorhead
• All are heavily discounted in the Black Friday sales

I’ve been a fan of Dyson‘s V15s Detect Submarine for a long time. It’s a simple yet ingenious concept: take an excellent vacuum and bundle in an extra mopping floorhead, thus turning it into an all-in-one floor cleaning machine. The sticking point, though, was always the price.

Until now, the Submarine concept has only been applied to the Dyson V15 Detect. This is one of Dyson’s best vacuums – it’s packed with cutting-edge tech, and unfortunately that means it also has a rather large price tag. I always wondered why the brand didn’t offer other Submarine options, for people who wanted a hybrid cleaner but didn’t want or need quite such an advanced vacuum.

My wish has been granted now that there’s a V12s Detect Slim Submarine and Cyclone 10 Submarine joining the V15s Detect Submarine in the Dyson UK lineup. Both those new additions are much more affordable than the V15s, and what’s more, both are already discounted in the Black Friday sales. Take a look at the deals below, or scroll down for a closer look at the new wet-and-dry options.

The Submarine head won’t turn the machine into a true wet-and-dry vacuum because there’s no suction when the vac is in mop mode. Instead, like the Dyson WashG1 (the brand’s only dedicated wet cleaner), it uses hydration and agitation to clear spillages and freshen up your floors.

While it’s not quite perfect – the Submarine head can drip dirty water if you’re not extremely careful when you remove it – my teammate still found it ultra-useful for small mopping jobs. She also praised the idea’s space-saving potential, removing the need for a separate vacuum and mop.

Note: the Submarine floorhead isn’t compatible with the Dyson’s standard vacuums. So you couldn’t, for instance, buy just the floorhead and add it onto your regular Cyclone V10.

The V12 Detect Slim launched alongside the V15 Detect, and boasts many of the same advanced features in a smaller, lighter and more affordable package. So you’re getting real-time dirt reports and automatic suction adjustment. Plus, there a further floorhead that’s soft and kitted out with a laser, designed to buff up your hard floors and illuminate any dust or dirt that might get missed. The small dust cup means it’s not the best choice for large homes, but otherwise it’s well worth your attention.
