Dyson pulls €500 artificial intelligence toothbrush from shelves due to apparent water issues

Dyson launches CameraJet, an artificial intelligence toothbrush priced at nearly 500 euros. But shortly after launch, users reported water damage to the case and power outages. This is excellent for a device that must be used in the bathroom every day.

Brushing your teeth by hand is a thing of the past. At least, if it depends on the Dyson brand. The company is best known for its vacuum cleaners and Airwrap, a special type of hair dryer. Dyson now wants a new spoon with an ultra-modern toothbrush.

What AI features does the nearly 500-euro Dyson CameraJet have?

The name of this toothbrush is CameraJet, and it is no ordinary toothbrush. “Flossing is an inconvenient and time-consuming task,” the company said. “Few of us do it, even though we know we should.” That’s why Dyson is moving around on the drawing board. “Our research shows that people often overlook where plaque forms: the spaces between teeth.”

For example, a toothbrush that uses a water flosser has appeared on the market. The toothbrush is also equipped with a camera and has an artificial intelligence function that can monitor oral health. The company hopes to prevent plaque and improve oral care at a new price point of just under €500.

Why the Dyson CameraJet had water issues soon after launch

With a launch in Paris and a host of influential guests, the toothbrush seems to be off to a great start. Only one detail has been forgotten: the device isn’t waterproof at all. Once water enters the casing, the toothbrushes collectively stop working and users discover this. Dyson toothbrushes are no longer available for order.

Now criticism is emerging on tech forums like Reddit. “This has to be the worst product Dyson has ever launched,” one user said. “How did Dyson make a toothbrush so impractical?” another user wondered: “Didn’t they think of testing it in the real world?”

Dyson: Water issues only affect few early CameraJets

In response to Flemish Broadcasting Corporation latest news Dyson says not all toothbrushes have this problem. This was only a flaw in a few early copies. “The new Dyson CameraJet has been received very positively and we are seeing strong demand globally,” the company continued. “As we are currently further scaling up production, supply is limited in some locations.”

The company said it will provide support to affected customers and hopes to resume sales of CameraJet as soon as possible.
