Jimmy PW11 Pro Max Design
The Jimmy PW11 Pro Max package includes an impressive amount of components and accessories that allow you to carry out the 5 functions with as many configurations:
In fact, in the package we will find many parts and accessories:
- Main unit vacuum cleaner with built-in dust container
- Removable battery
- Floor cleaning roller with built-in tank
- Body with built-in dirty water tank
- Extension tube
- Corner tip
- 2in1 tip for textiles
- Motorized furniture brush
- Base for charging and washing floor brush
- 1 liter of cleaning product
- Maintenance accessory
- Power cord
- Multilingual instructions for use
The design of the floor washer recalls that of the previous models – modern and compact – but obviously revisited to accommodate the multiple functions included. We therefore find the LED display, small but showing all the floor cleaner statuses and any errors. Even the Handle It is in a comfortable “Jimmy” style and has three buttons for product control: on; mode change; manual spray.
With the exception of the extension tube, the camera body and accessories are all made of plastic. I must confess that they do not give a “premium” feeling but from personal experience I can confirm that the quality is good and long-lasting as with all the Jimmys I have tried, some of which are still in service.
Washing brush
La washing brush of the floors is well made. It has two 24cm soft rollers that rotate in opposite directions and can be removed for replacement and maintenance. On the right side, the roller is almost flush with the floor cleaner and allows you to wash even close to the wall.
The clean water tank is 600ml, integrated into the brush and can be removed for filling or cleaning. The capacity is not exciting: enough for a 100m450 house but during self-cleaning it will be necessary to refill the tank. The water tank is XNUMXml and is instead integrated into the rod.
The joint that allows you to tilt the floor cleaner almost completely by 180° and also wash under furniture is very useful.
Suction brush
La vacuum cleaner brush It has a 22cm V-design roller made with alternating silicone and soft bristles and can be easily disassembled for cleaning. The front is equipped with a very useful LED light to illuminate the areas we are cleaning.
The joint that allows you to tilt the floor cleaner is very useful completely 180° and reach under any piece of furniture.
Cleaning and charging base
Once all the accessories are mounted on the base, we will have a rather bulky 42x42 cm structure but which has the great advantage of housing all the accessories and components supplied. The base acts both as a charging base (about 5 hours) which for the washing of the brush that for drying of the same through a jet of hot air.
La Jimmy PW11 Pro Max transforms into a cordless vacuum cleaner thanks to the components available.
Simply unhook the motor and attach it to the dust container and main shaft and you will have a cordless vacuum cleaner at your disposal. It is not as practical as having it “ready” but it is an operation that can be performed in a few seconds thanks to the accessories always ready on the base. Unfortunately, for recharging, the motor must always be repositioned in floor cleaning mode.
Il dust tank It has a size of 300 ml and also includes a three-stage filter (HEPA + pre-filter + cyclonic). Unfortunately, emptying is not at all as practical as in products dedicated only to suction, because you are forced to Remove the filter pack completely to empty the dust.
How does it clean Jimmy PW11 Pro Max?
In scrubbing mode the Jimmy is a real top of the range. It has a engine with excellent power that we rarely find in floor cleaners, but above all the double roller with opposing rotation doubles the friction on the floor and allows the removal of dirt in a single pass, more than one in the case of dry stains. It performs a homogeneous cleaning and manages to reach "almost" the edges of the walls.
It's very easy to use. Just turn it on and it is ready to wash the floor. Thanks to dirt sensor, the PW11 Pro Max manages automatically suction power, roller speed and water delivery to the advantage of autonomy. The floor mode is suitable for hard surfaces and uses water and reduced power. On the contrary, the “carpet” mode is suitable for carpets and rugs, but uses maximum power with a higher consumption.
Fantastic the autonomy of about 80 minutes when used without motorized brushes and between 20 and 40 when used as a vacuum cleaner and floor cleaner. Certainly among the best on the market, thanks to the large 4600 mAh battery.
In vacuum cleaner mode Jimmy does not shine as much as the floor cleaner but it defends itself well. The engine, although excellent compared to other "multi-use" products, is less powerful if compared to vacuum cleaners. In fact, we have at our disposal 21.000 Pa suction pressure against, for example, the 25.000 Pa of the Jimmy JV85.
Nonetheless the PW11 Pro Max also shows its usefulness as a vacuum cleaner, especially on hard surfaces, thanks also to the excellent roller supplied. It easily vacuums up everyday dirt, even medium-sized ones. It doesn't look out of place even on carpets where in tests demonstrated good suction pressure.
The lack of an anti-tangle system is felt and I wouldn't recommend it to those who have pets at home that shed a lot of hair.
Automatic cleaning and drying of the roller
Once back on the charging base, we simply start the self-cleaning function of the rollers to start a process that will wash the rollers thoroughly. It is a fully automatic process and takes about 3 minutes divided into three phases:
- High speed roller washing with clutch on the base
- Suction of dirt and washing of pipes with powerful suction
- Drying with hot air at 50°
The result is truly remarkable: the roller is washed thoroughly and all the dirt accumulated during cleaning is transferred to the tank. A great convenience!
Even more important is the function of drying with hot air which almost no floor cleaner, even a high-end one, has adopted. It is a very important feature that allows the roller to dry completely in 30 minutes avoiding the proliferation of bacteria and consequent bad odors.
Jimmy PW11 Pro Max – Final opinions and Price
La Jimmy PW11 Pro Max it is a model and a product dedicated to those who it needs both a floor cleaner and a vacuum cleaner but for cost or space reasons, prefers to choose a multi-function product.
On the one hand, the floor washing function, as well as the self-cleaning function, completely satisfies, the vacuum cleaner mode has some limitations that should be taken into account. It is suitable for low-demand scenarios and is not recommended for those who have pets at home.
The price is partly justified, the Jimmy PW11 Pro Max è on sale at €599 on the official website (579 € on Amazon) which is a price very close to higher-end products but we will certainly see it reduced in the coming months. In any case, buying two separate products, 700/800€ are necessary.
