Dyson has launched the CameraJet, a $499 electric toothbrush featuring a built-in camera and precision water jet. The device aims to replace flossing by using AI to detect gaps between teeth and spray mouthwash directly into them. While it offers real-time visual feedback via an app, the high price point and novelty of the technology have sparked debate over its practicality and market viability.
Dyson is launching the CameraJet, a $500 toothbrush featuring a camera to scan molars and spray mouthwash, aiming to replace flossing. This entry into oral care follows a history of extreme highs and lows, including the massive success of the Supersonic hair dryer and the failure of the $750 million electric vehicle project. Analysts note that while Dyson excels at solving genuine problems, it often fails when inventing solutions for non-existent issues, as seen with its discontinued washing machine and air-purifying headphones.
Dyson has launched the CameraJet, a $499 smart toothbrush that combines brushing, flossing, and rinsing into one device. It uses an AI-powered camera to detect gaps between teeth and triggers a precision jet of mouthrinse to clean them. The device was developed over six years by 661 engineers and 30 dental professionals, featuring a 100,000-pixel macro lens and a proprietary conical jet system designed to remove plaque more effectively than traditional water flossers. It connects via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to an app for live viewing and cleaning insights, with no images stored in the cloud. The launch includes a docking station that refills the 12.5ml tank in three seconds, and Dyson is developing a proprietary non-foaming toothpaste to optimize camera visibility.
