Dyson halts ALL orders of its one-of-a-kind £420 CameraJet toothbrush
Struggling to order Dyson's first-ever toothbrush? You're not alone. The £419 toothbrush, known as Dyson CameraJet due to its use of a minuscule camera to direct a spray of mouthwash between the gaps in your teeth, is no longer available to order from the Dyson online store or major UK retailers like John Lewis and Currys. Dyson launched its CameraJet toothbrush on September 1, 2026. However, these one-of-a-kind toothbrushes started to vanish from store shelves remarkably quickly. Dyson's online store in France was the first to stop taking new orders on September 11, followed by the UK, United States, and Singapore on September 15. If you attempt to add the Dyson CameraJet to your basket on the UK store today, you're met with an "Out Of Stock" warning, with a prompt to enter your email address so the manufacturer can keep you updated about new deliveries. - Dyson offering a £99 'spa day' to restore your vacuum to full power It's unclear exactly why the CameraJet vanished within a fortnight, but if you're desperate to get your hands on this £419 dental kit, you'll need to be patient for now. Dyson says that it's struggling to keep up with demand for its CameraJet toothbrush as it attempts to scale up production. In a**statement to The Independent**, a Dyson representative explained that it's "experiencing strong demand globally" and "seeing some shortages of supply as we are in the process of scaling up production". Interestingly, Dyson isn't offering the chance to preorder ahead of new stock being delivered. The nationwide shortages come as those who were first in the queue for the new toothbrush have flagged a few teething issues with its unique design. Some Dyson CameraJet owners have reported misfiring jets and breakages when the toothbrush gets wet, something that's a serious issue for a piece of dental kit. On Reddit, there are multiple threads of CameraJet owners who are experiencing some issues. One posted: "Has anyone also had to clean their entire bathroom every time after using it? It sprays everywhere" Another added: "My problem was with the mouthwash reservoir refilling process – it kept leaking everywhere, like the refill nozzles were partially blocked. "The mouthwash was running down the dock, pooling around the charging elements and onto the surface. They have refunded me no questions asked and told me to dispose of it. Clearly having major manufacturing problems." ### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS - Cost of traditional landlines will DOUBLE this week - Dyson's first-ever toothbrush is a £420 gadget with a camera to floss as you brush - Airsmooth is Dyson's first-ever hot brush, and it costs £280 less than an Airwrap - Polestar 4: We drove the first car sold in Britain without a rear window - Vodafone announces new all-in-one TV box to rival Roku and Fire TV Stick This isn't the only reference to the Dyson CameraJet, which took six years to develop behind closed doors at the British brand, struggling with water seeping into critical components, like the battery. One customer posted on Reddit: "Having the same issue, I called Dyson UK customer services 10 minutes ago and went on video chat with them. I said I’m aware it’s a major issue with the first UK batch, and that the units aren’t water resistant. "They just said as they don’t have any replacements available, they would give me a full refund, and so could keep the unit I already have, no further action required, and the refund would be within 14 days." > from dyson > from dyson > from dyson > from dyson Dyson says the CameraJet has been certified as IPX7, an industry-standard water resistance rating used across smartphones, tablets, and action cameras. This level of certification means it can be submerged in up to one metre of fresh water for up to 30 minutes. While the vacuum brand is staying tight-lipped on the specifics, it has stated that a "small number" of its toothbrushes from an early batch "have experienced a component issue". Dyson maintains these issues only affect a limited number of units. The CameraJet marks the first time Dyson has entered the dental care market. Announcing its new product, James Dyson, the 79-year-old founder and chief engineer, said: "Flossing is an awkward and time-consuming chore. Few of us do it even though we know we should. "Dyson engineers and scientists have spent well over a decade understanding oral care regimes and how nasties build up in the mouth. Our research has shown that people consistently miss the areas where plaque forms: the gaps between teeth. We wanted to solve three fundamental problems: how to see those gaps, remove plaque, how to improve cleaning performance while brushing. "By combining a camera, machine learning, precision fluid dynamics, advanced brushing technologies, connectivity and WiFi, Dyson CameraJet introduces an entirely new way to keep your mouth healthy." Dyson CameraJet is designed to floss while you brush, thanks to a combination of a small camera, Artificial Intelligence to determine when it's passed a gap in your teeth, and a precision mouthwash jet. Its 100,000-pixel macro camera analyses 28 images every second — 1,680 a minute — to spot, track and predict gaps between teeth. When it detects one, a broad, conical burst of mouthrinse fires within 100 milliseconds, covering a wider area than a needle-like jet you'd typically find on a water flosser device, Dyson says. That mouthwash comes from a 12.5ml anti-gravity refill tank, which uses a diaphragm pump to deliver consistent jets at any angle, even when brushing horizontally. During its top-secret development, the team at Dyson also produced a new type of variable sonic oscillation, a dual-bristle design for the head, RFID tracking for the replacement brush heads, and more. If you have a defective toothbrush and are experiencing any of the issues described above, then reach out to the customer support team. If you're hopeful of switching to one of these CameraJet toothbrushes in the near future, you'll need to keep checking back to see when this innovative, but potentially troubled, toothbrush makes a return.
