Jimmy HW10: You’ve NEVER SEEN a floor cleaner like this!
The Jimmy HW10 is a cordless device that lets you vacuum and mop in one go, without the hassle of cables, because it’s cordless… (and one even with a baby in your arms!)
What does the Jimmy HW10 come with?
Given the number of accessories included, the packaging of the JIMMY HW10 can also be considered as reduced to the maximum. Of course, it’s not one of the smallest in circulation, but given the number of components it integrates and the accessories it comes with, you’ll wonder how it all fit.
Inside the package are:
- 1 x 2-in-1 upholstery tool;
- 1 x 2-in-1 crevice tool ;
- 1 x electric mattress head ;
- 1 x cleaning brush ;
- 1 x 480 ml cleaning solution;
- 1 carpet brush ;
- 1 adapter ;
- vacuum / washing system – motor block
- 1 x loading and storage base.
Quality design and materials
All components fit together perfectly, and the battery can also be easily removed at the touch of a button. And the same goes for the new motor, which could also be considered the real beating heart of a portable vacuum cleaner, precisely because it can also be used separately with every accessory out of the box.
It’s easy to see why, even though the Jimmy HW10 is the size of a vacuum cleaner floor cleanerIt can actually be used to clean sofas, cars, furniture and so on.
All the control buttons are located close to the handle, which, no, is not shaped like a typical pistol, and allow you to switch from standard brush mode to vacuum cleaner, carpet vacuum cleaner, maximum power or an automatic mode which operates at medium power or, if necessary, can be set to maximum power.
It also features a large color LCD screen, where you can access all the information you need to use the product properly. On this large display, you can :
- check battery status
- operating mode
- state of charge
- etc.
Our advice Once you’ve finished charging, you may need to unplug the power plug, as the screen always stays on. This is probably a bug that will be corrected by a software update, but to avoid unnecessary consumption of electricity, it’s a good idea to keep this detail under control.
The bin for receiving dirt and dirty water seems unimportant and suggests that it should be emptied at the end of each cleaning session. But in our opinion, this is a false debate, because who ever thought of emptying their bucket of dirty mops at the end of a cleaning session… It wouldn’t occur to them to leave it full until the next time. The same applies to the Jimmy HW10.
The opening system for emptying is one of the simplest on the market: simply press a button to empty.
Pay attention to the unit’s weight. If you’ve ever handled cordless cyclonic vacuums, they’re often distinguished by their very light weight. But this is a household appliance that also has a cleaning function. The machinery on board inevitably increases the overall weight of this appliance. If you don’t intend to use the cleaning function just once, you’d be better off choosing a standard cordless cyclonic vacuum cleaner, which will be lighter.
Last but not least, its charging base can accommodate all the accessories in the package, and will be used for the self-cleaning function and another highlight: the drying function! Yes, because once the Jimmy HW10 on the base and starting the roller cleaning process, you may decide to dry the roller used thoroughly.
Suction Power and Washing Efficiency
To operate the Jimmy HW10It’s equipped with a powerful 400w motor, which really sets it apart from its counterparts.
Whether used in its “full” configuration or in the “compact” version with accessories, the Jimmy HW10 can clean virtually any surface without any problem, and also handles pet hair very well. When used for cleaning on the move, it features four modes:
- AUTO: which uses the sensors built into the main brush and “understands” not only how much dirt is on the surface, but also what type it is. In this way, the same JIMMY HW10 to decide on the suction power and quantity of water to be used.
- FLOOR: this is the mode for any type of floor, as long as it’s not a carpet or rug. If you’re careful, it’s a good way to get a good clean and save considerable energy.
- TURBO: excellent if the floor you want to clean is particularly dirty, but very energetic (so be careful with very fragile surfaces).
- CARPET: this is a specific mode designed for cleaning carpets, which is best exploited by using the special roller that comes out of the packaging.
When used in “portable” mode, i.e. using the accessories supplied in the packaging, there are two modes of use:
- ECO: the standard mode for cleaning “traditional” surfaces.
- MAX: the more powerful mode, for surfaces such as sofas, car seats, mattresses… But it also consumes a lot of energy, reducing the time the machine can be used and the battery capacity.
Handling is also very pleasant, thanks to the motorized brush’s great adhesion to the floor, the whole system will be almost “pulled” along during cleaning, reducing effort to a minimum.
But the big difference with the Jimmy HW10 is that, unlike other floor cleaners, this one doesn’t wet the entire rollers. It only sprays water where it’s needed. So you decide where you want to wet (handy for fragile areas that shouldn’t be wet). It also saves you water and product.
Jimmy HW10 battery life
For such a powerful, high-performance product, battery life is a difficult factor to assess. It’s very complicated, and performance depends very much on the type of use. On average, the Jimmy HW10 has an autonomy of around 30 minutes of operation, with a rather classic use for cleaning and washing floors.
How much does the Jimmy HW10 cost?
The price of the JIMMY HW10 is € 529,00 on Amazon and yes, it’s certainly not one of the cheapest models in the sector. But on the other hand, it’s one of the “best performing” products in its category, and reviews are pretty unanimous on these results! As far as we’re concerned, this is the ideal time to give a great gift: a young student moving into a small apartment, a tired grandma, a forgotten Mother’s or Father’s Day present, an overworked mom… There’s no shortage of reasons!
We had to find a flaw in this device… yes, its price is a bit high, but when you know how much time you can save with this device, and that we’re all chasing minutes!
As the saying goes, nobody’s perfect…
