Dyson Omni-glide: An affordable cleaner!

The idea of owning a powerful, easy-touse device to do the typical Indian household’s broom-and-mop regimen sounds enticing. That’s where the Dyson Omni-glide — quite literally — glides in. At Rs 34,900, the device is one of the most affordable offerings from the premium brand, considered a benchmark for vacuum cleaners globally. The Omni-glide is more affordable than its flagship product V11 Absolute Pro.

It is also more compact and manoeuvrable. The Omni-glide comes with a handful of accessories — omnidirec- tional soft roller cleaner head, a mini motorised tool, a combination tool and a worktop tool — that require some practice to figure out which is best suited for a particular cleaning need. Ideally, the omnidirectional head and mini motorised tool are meant for cleaning hard, dry floors while other tools are meant to get tough corners, like small spaces in cars or high AC vents.


Besides these accessories, there is also a dock for mounting it on a wall, so storing it is not a hassle. There is a charger in the box which is easy to use. On a single charge, you get 20 minutes of life at normal power and about 10 minutes at the Max setting. The Dyson Omni-glide is quite powerful and is effective at picking up everything from large debris to fine particles.

The omnidirectional soft roller cleaner head, which is the key accessory, moves around effortlessly and even sweeps in hard-to-reach spaces. It is a cord-free device. The dirt is collected in a transpar-ent container that can be easily opened and emptied by a simple pushbutton ejection mechanism.
