Dyson's $499 AI CameraJet Toothbrush Hits Battery Trouble, No Recall
LukeW · x · 2026-09-22
- LukeW shared his frustrating first-hand experience with Dyson's CameraJet AI toothbrush: ordered day one, it died after one use, support promised a replacement battery, then canceled the battery order, then refunded him entirely.
- Per WIRED, Dyson admitted to a "component issue" but won't say what went wrong, how many units are affected worldwide, or why it won't recall the $499 device, which uses a macro camera and a "Gap Optical Targeting system" trained on 470,000 dental images to aim rinsing jets within 100 milliseconds.
