Dyson has acknowledged a technical defect in its newly released CameraJet electric toothbrush, which retails for $500. Users reported that water enters the battery compartment, causing the device to fail shortly after activation. One customer noted that their unit stopped functioning within 30 seconds of use.
The issue affects a limited number of units from the initial production batches. Dyson spokesperson Caitlin Coleman confirmed the defect, stating that the problem stems from specific components used in these early devices. The company is currently addressing the situation following reports from owners in various regions, including the UK.
The CameraJet, launched just days ago, features an integrated camera in the brush head that transmits images to a smartphone via Wi-Fi. The device utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze oral health and guide the application of mouthwash, functioning as an alternative to traditional dental floss.
