Dyson WashG1 vs Roborock F25 ACE vs Dyad Air vs Tineco S7/S9 — “$700 Mop Killer?” (Real-Home Grime Test)

Hey crew—Captain Overfit here. Today we put the cordless wet-floor cleaners you actually care about through a real-home grime test: coffee rings, dried marinara, sandy shoe prints, cereal confetti, and a pet-hair tumbleweed. No showroom tiles—just my lived chaos.

I’ve owned the classics and the casualties: Bissell CrossWave (cleans but stinks if you don’t deep-clean, and that cord…), Hoover FloorMate (cleaning beast, parts fail), Tineco S5 (cordless game-changer until two motors blew), and the Roborock Dyad (strong, but smell/roller quirks). With that baggage, we line up the new squad: Dyson WashG1, Roborock F25 ACE, Roborock Dyad Air, plus Tineco Floor One S7 Pro/Steam and S9.

What You’ll Learn

• One-Pass Reality: Which machine actually erases sticky, dried messes without “moisturizing the stain”
• Runtime & Coverage: 35–60+ minute claims vs how they feel in a big kitchen
• Edge Cleaning: Baseboard/grout truth—who hits the line, who leaves a halo
• Smell Control That Works: Why “self-clean” is a rinse, and the 60-second routine that actually prevents funk
• Maintenance Sanity: Rollers, channels, tanks—how much TLC each really needs
• Buyer’s Guide: Match the machine to your mess pattern (kids/pets, big floors, baked-on spills, daily upkeep)

Quick Takeaways

• One-Pass Polish King: Dyson WashG1 — twin microfiber rollers scrub + squeegee with fewer streaks.
• Runtime + Edge Champ: Roborock F25 ACE — longer legs, near edge-to-edge cleaning, easy glide.
• Light, Long-Run Value: Roborock Dyad Air — great for maintenance laps; know the roller quirks.
• Daily-Driver Feel: Tineco S7/S9 — smooth self-propel; S7 Steam helps loosen “fossilized” spills before extraction.

Smell Control (The 60-Second Routine)

Run self-clean → pop rollers/guard → hot water + tiny drop of mild detergent → wipe the head channels → air-dry parts open.
Self-clean cycles are the rinse; you are the detailer.

Key Quote: “Speed tests impress; clean rinse water wins.”
