Dyson's CameraJet toothbrush, which combines a camera-guided water flossing jet with brushing, launched in US stores on September 8 but was pulled within days after buyers reported water leaking into the battery compartment. WIRED found the $499 device, unveiled with fanfare in Paris weeks earlier, is now unavailable for purchase anywhere.
Dyson launched its CameraJet toothbrush, a $499 device combining a camera-guided water flosser with brushing, at a Paris event in early September, then began selling it in US stores on September 8. Within a day, customers reported water leaking into the device's battery compartment, and the product has since become unavailable for purchase, with Dyson declining to explain why.
Users on Reddit report water leaking into the battery compartment of Dyson's new $499.99 CameraJet toothbrush, with one saying their unit failed within 30 seconds of use. Dyson acknowledged that a small number of early batches may have experienced a component issue, though it says the product's current unavailability online is due to strong demand rather than the defect.
Dyson has released the CameraJet, an electric toothbrush equipped with a 100,000-pixel macro camera and stroboscopic lighting that captures 28 images per second inside the user's mouth. An onboard AI algorithm analyzes the footage to detect issues like gaps between teeth, and the device connects via WiFi and Bluetooth, priced at $499 with two brush heads and a proprietary toothpaste sold separately.
