The engineering story behind the advanced Illumination technology in Dyson Gen5 vacuums

The Dyson Gen5detect™ and Dyson Gen5outsize™ vacuums both feature our latest illumination technology, which reveals twice the amount of invisible dust.¹

The Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head reveals the microscopic dust and dirt you can't normally see on hard floors¹, using an optically targeted blade of light refracted down to 20° and precisely 7.3mm above the floor. Engineered with a brighter illumination that reaches 300mm¹ - so you don't miss anything.

¹Compared to the original Dyson Laser Slim Fluffy™ cleaner head. Effectiveness influenced by ambient light conditions, debris type and surface.

This little green light is a game-changer for my dark tiles. Hugely satisfying to vacuum now!

I absolutely LOVE this green light. In the summer, with all the sun light, I even close the shades to be able to see the dust better with the green light. This is a game changer! Thanks for the innovation!

[WillLeingang]

Absolutely fabulous work you guys. Keep innovating! I love my detect vacuums and vacuuming at night is so satisfying!

Why did you stop making corded vacuum cleaners?

[HamidKarzai]

My cat likes to play with the vacuum head while it's running. Is it safe if this light ends up shining right in her eye at very close range?

[zerou]

Yeah thanks, i now get to vacuum in circles because of this!

Is the laser head safe? I'm worried about my baby. Does it emit radiation? I want to get rid of it. I own a gen5.

[johnnystag]

Amazing feature, just got the V15 and this is the reason i want to clean my house every day 😂
But is it possible to get the brighter laser brush from the Gen5 for the V15?

[Huwtube]

Funny how nobody wants to say the word 'laser'.

[RoboVacParty]

Cool, maybe your next robot vacuum will be equipped with this illumination technology too? Would be cool to watch it during work! 🤖

[menopriezvisko]

I was using flash light to see the dust. it has also bigger range :)

My new hobby is vacuuming at night. It's amazing what's on the floor.

I want to buy Gen 5 outsize but unfortunately its not available in India. Does Dyson plans to launch Gen 5 in India anytime soon? the Dyson India team has no clue about the launch date as they informed me.

El cepillo me parece maravilloso, pero yo tengo problemas, el suelo de casa es de barro y hace que se desgaste el material del mismo quedando la bombilla led casi al descubierto. Cuándo he pedido otro porque está en garantía no tienen stock, llevo esperando un mes y aún me han dicho que tengo que esperar de 2 a 3 semanas más

Hoover vacuums had headlights in the 70s and 80s, nothing new.

Not for the lazy, I work harder vacuuming now getting up pet hair that I probably missed before. 😅

[W-C-F-ok]

It's just a laser, bro. I can do the same on my crusty vacuum for 20 bucks.
I think you have to send me one for free to prove me wrong 😅
