Dyson Enters Oral Care Market With $499 Camera-Equipped Toothbrush
Dyson has launched the 'CameraJet,' a $499 electric toothbrush that integrates a camera and automated flossing technology. The device connects to a smartphone app to provide a live view of the user's mouth while cleaning.
Dyson, a company primarily recognized for its vacuum cleaners and hair care appliances, is expanding into the oral hygiene market with the release of the CameraJet. Priced at $499, the device is marketed as the first electric toothbrush to feature an integrated camera within the brush head.
According to the manufacturer, the camera serves two primary purposes: it allows users to livestream a video feed of their mouth to a smartphone via Wi-Fi, and it works in tandem with an AI algorithm to assist in cleaning. While both sources agree on the core functionality, they describe the device's primary utility differently. The Verge highlights the device's ability to 'floss for you' and inspect the mouth, whereas Wired emphasizes the camera's role in aiming 'streams of rinsing fluid' into the gaps between teeth. The product is available for purchase starting today in two color options: ceramic blue and ceramic pink.
