Hey what’s up? Sami here. This week I have been testing the JIMMY’s first wet and dry
vacuum cleaner: the HW8 Pro. It does many things a normal stick vacuum cleaner can’t do,
but is it any good? Let’s find out in this video. As always, the link for purchasing
the product is in the description box, make sure to check it out.
I’ve already unboxed it a couple of weeks ago. For what’s inside the box you can check
out my previous video here. To use the cleaner it’s quite simple. First make sure to fully
charge the cleaner, second fill the clean water tank with clean water, there is a max
mark here, don’t overfill it. You can also add some cleaning shampoo as the box comes
with that. Press the power key to turn the machine on. You are then ready to go. You
can switch between two different modes based on your situation. At the same time, press
once the button under the handlebar to spray water once, press and hold the button if you
want to dispense water continuously. After the cleaning just take out the dirty water
tank and clean it. That’s it.
There are several unique features about the HW8 Pro. It has an all-in-one LED display
which displays battery level, cleaning modes, and alerts, etc. But most importantly for
me is the real time battery life display, where you can tell exactly how long you have
left before you need to recharge. Another feature I have to talk about is the self-cleaning
system. After you finish your mopping, when you put it back on the charging dock, you
can activate the Self-Cleaning cycle by holding down the mode switch button, then it starts
a self-cleaning session. It takes about three minutes as it flushes fresh water through
the brush roller and tubes for hands-free maintenance. Once it's completed, it will
automatically begin charging. Just be sure to swap out the wet brush head for the dry one
and to empty the dirty water container.
Most of the other stuff that’s unique or interesting about the HW8 Pro can be covered
as we talk about the various performance tests. I tested it with all kinds of spills and stains
on a number of different surfaces and found that the HW8 Pro was as good or better than
others I’ve tested before. For example, with the dried-on stains, I can clean them
very easily as you can always spray water on them. Same thing with the wet liquid test,
it picked up the spills with no trouble at all. It was as good as you would want them to be in that regard.
What about bigger messes? Well, I’ve got to say the HW8 Pro nails it,
unlike some other wet/dry vacuum cleaners that have a low profile on the front, which
may have trouble dealing with larger piles of spills. The HW8 Pro picked up those easily
and it also tended not to get as messy for its higher profile.
I also tested various other debris on different hard floors, and even on low-pile carpet.
It’s not bad but definitely doesn’t compare to those dedicated dry stick vacuum cleaners
like the Jimmy JV85 or Roborock H7, but you have to know this product is built more for
wet dirt on hard floors, which finally brings me to my conclusion. I’ve got to say the
HW8 Pro reinvented my cleaning routine, for the better. Priced at €229 on Geekbuying,
it’s a much lower price than some of big brands I know, but it comes with uncompromised performance.
Once you try it for yourselves, I think you'll be hooked. It’s a true timesaver.
You'll never want to just vacuum on your hard floors when you can save time and mop too.
And you’d probably forget about how old-school wet mops just seemed to drench your floors
in already dirtied water. Everything is just easier and combines two traditionally separate activities
into one quick routine. The smart self-clean cycle is definitely a lifesaver
for flushing out the tubes and brushroll, so you just have to deal with cleaning the
water tanks. Compared to regular stick vacuum cleaners, the HW8 Pro cleans the wet dirt
and it’s much more powerful than a robot vacuum cleaner and leaves dried-on dirt no way to exist.
So what do you think of this Jimmy HW8 Pro wet and dry vacuum cleaner?
Let me know in the comments section. If you are interested to get one of these, link is
