Wet and dry vacuum cleaners provide great versatility and provide a good response to various situations that occur in homes, but It is a type of device that cannot be used for dry cleaning like a conventional vacuum cleaner, nor for cleaning ceilings, other nooks and corners, furniture or upholstery., For example.

Dry and wet vacuuming
This category of devices has gained great popularity in recent years, especially in “very lively” homes., since they can provide a complete and quick solution to many "disasters" that can occur on a daily basis.
Wet and dry vacuum cleaners can clean solid, liquid and semi-liquid dirt, in the form of stains, fingerprints, sauces, juices, leftover milk or coffee, porridge, cereals mixed with milk, leftover fruit, or even, for example, a raw egg.
Many of these problems would require using more than one appliance, or using, for example, a manual mop, while With a device like the Dreame H12 Dual, we can solve them quickly and effectively, in one pass.
The operation of this type of machines is based on a double compartment system, with one tank for clean water and another for dirty water, which in this model offer a very large capacity (900 and 700 milliliters, respectively).
The clean water is used to moisten the roller, to scrub, and at the same time to clean it.; In this way, it is always mopped with clean water and the roller, unlike conventional mopping, in which after a few passes the mop and the water in the bucket are already dirty.
In addition to the suction exerted by the device, the roller rotates at 520 revolutions per minute to offer a good result when collecting dirt and removing stains.
The autonomy in this mode of operation reaches up to 35 minutes, so it is possible that the water runs out before the electricity; In this case, you simply have to fill the clean water tank, a process that is super simple.
This autonomy is enough to scrub between 100 and 150 m2, since, although it is not a particularly light device, like all those of this type (its weight is 5,1 kilograms), the rotating movement of the roller "pulls" the user, making movement much easier.
When it comes to scrubbing, we can simply do it with tap water or add a cleaning solution.; The Dreame H12 Dual comes with a sample of the cleaning product created by the brand.
As is usual in many devices of this type, The Dreame H12 Dual has an intelligent dirt detection mode, in which the machine automatically adapts the suction to the situation at all times, increasing the power if there are accumulations of dirt.
In addition, It has a suction or drying mode, in which the roller will not get wet, which is used to dry floors (very practical, for example, to wipe on the bathroom floor after a shower).
The Dreame H12 Dual's roller design fits closer to the edges than in other models in this category (only 6 millimeters), which allows for more cleaning on edges and corners.
Information screen
The Dreame H12 Dual has an attractive LED information display, which shows the status of the device and the operating mode in a very visual way, to know the operating mode, the percentage of remaining autonomy or receive warning or error messages.
Voice notifications
The Dreame H12 Dual emits voice notifications to inform the user of what they are doing or what is happening to them; They can be set to the most common languages by pressing a button on the back of the body to activate the function and holding it down for 3 seconds to select the desired language.
Self-cleaning
Wet and dry vacuum cleaners typically include this functionality, which greatly reduces maintenance work; When finished, we simply have to put the device on the base, with clean water in the tank, and press the button on the top of the handle.:
Self-drying
What's more, The Dreame H12 Dual includes a function that very few devices in this segment still have (including the Roborock Dyad Pro, Dyad Pro Combo and Dyad Air, and the Proscenic F10), self-drying.
