Dyson toothbrush disappears amid reports of leaks and early failures
Dyson’s $499 CameraJet electric toothbrush has vanished from shops shortly after launch amid reports of leaks, battery-compartment water damage and devices failing within seconds or days. Dyson says a component problem affects a small number of early batches, but denies issuing a recall and attributes the unavailability to strong demand and production shortages.
The device uses a camera and optical targeting system, trained on 470,000 dental images, to direct rinsing fluid between teeth; development reportedly took six years and produced 38 patents. Dyson has not identified the faulty component, explained the failure, disclosed how many units are affected, confirmed where the product remains available, or clarified when shipments stopped, leaving customers and reviewers seeking answers.
