What has happened to the Dyson CameraJet toothbrush?
The CameraJet is Dyson's first electric toothbrush, combining a 28-frames-per-second optical sensor in the brush head with a targeted water jet that Dyson calls Gap Optical Targeting. It launched globally on 1 September 2026 at £419.99 (Ceramic Ultra Blue or Ceramic Pink), and we covered the launch in our full CameraJet overview at the time.
Within roughly two weeks, early buyers began reporting significant hardware problems: water leaking into the battery compartment, units overheating during charging, visible oxidation on internal components, and some brushes becoming completely unresponsive after only a handful of uses. Dyson subsequently removed the CameraJet from sale on its UK, US and French websites and in its retail stores, and confirmed a formal recall covering some units. Dyson has said the action relates to "a small number of early batches" affected by a "component issue," while separately telling press that the removal from sale reflects high demand and production scaling rather than the fault reports — two explanations that sit in some tension with each other, and which we haven't seen independently reconciled.
Why does this matter for Home Assistant users?
The CameraJet has no Home Assistant or Matter integration — it's a standalone oral-care device, not a connected smart home accessory — so this story matters less for automation and more for what it signals about Dyson's quality control on its newest connected/smart-adjacent product lines, arriving in the same September 2026 window as Dyson's Nurovi robot vacuums and HushJet air purifiers, which we covered separately in our IFA 2026 Dyson lineup roundup. Anyone considering those products alongside the CameraJet should treat this as a reason to wait for confirmed fixes and longer-term reliability reports before buying a first-batch Dyson device, connected or not.
What is the UK availability and price of the Dyson CameraJet?
Before the suspension, the CameraJet was listed on dyson.co.uk and in Dyson Demo Stores at £419.99 in Ceramic Ultra Blue or Ceramic Pink, with a Dyson-branded travel case bundle also available. As of this article's fact-check date, the product page has been pulled from the UK site entirely rather than simply marked out of stock, which is consistent with the wider three-market suspension rather than an isolated UK issue.
Should you buy the Dyson CameraJet now or wait?
Wait. With sales suspended in three major markets and Dyson yet to confirm exactly which batches are affected or when a fixed version will return to sale, there's no way to know whether a newly bought unit today would be a pre- or post-fix batch. If you already own one and notice water pooling near the charging contacts, unusual heat during charging, or the brush stopping mid-use, stop using it and contact Dyson support directly rather than continuing to charge it. We'll update our original CameraJet coverage once Dyson confirms a fix and a return-to-sale date.
