Dyson Canada launches laser technology, a redesigned format and advanced hair pickup tools in new range of cordless vacuums

Dyson is the only technology company to pioneer vacuums with laser dust technology that ensures you don’t miss a speck of dust in your home. Laser dust detection reveals the particles you cannot normally see with a precisely angled laser integrated into the cleaner head.

The idea came about when a Dyson Engineer noticed that airborne particles in their home glistened in the sun. They began to research how they could take this notion and apply it to the fine dust we cannot see in our home. The team experimented with laser lights in the lab to test how this could be achieved, and a new solution was born. Dyson engineers integrated a green laser diode – chosen for its ability to provide the best contrast – into the Slim Fluffy cleaner head, positioning it precisely at a 1.5-degree angle, 7.2mm off the ground. It means hidden dust on the floor surface that is otherwise invisible to the naked eye can be seen and removed.

Understanding that now more than ever people want more hygienic homes, Dyson engineers set about developing a technology which enables the user to measure the dust it detects and then displays it on an LCD screen for real time scientific proof of a deep clean.

An acoustic piezo sensor has been integrated into the vacuum. Carbon fibre filaments in the cleaner head pick up microscopic particles which are sized and counted 15,000 times a second. The dust enters the vacuum and hits the acoustic piezo sensor within the bin inlet with the tiny vibrations being converted to electrical signals – the most accurate way to measure microscopic particles. The dust size and quantity are shown on the in-built LCD screen, so the user can see just how much dust the vacuum has removed, as well as the different sizes of particles.

The vacuum has been designed so that it automatically increases suction power when it comes across a large amount of dust. This happens in auto mode, when the piezo sensor detects high concentrations of dust, and reactive suction power is triggered to automatically increase in power. When dust levels normalize, suction power is reduced to its previous level.

Introducing a new anti-tangle Hair Screw: Dyson Engineers also looked to solve the problem of removing hair on the brush bar. This is often a challenge for many vacuums, despite claims to the contrary by some, so we have developed a new anti-tangle conical brush bar which spirals hair off and into the bin. This prevents the wrapping of hair around the brush bar, with no compromise on pick-up performance. Designed for human and pet hair, our engineers delicately tweaked the precise angle of the bristles on the tool, to ensure the release force did not tangle the hair and tested the tool on multiple hair types.

New anti-tangle High Torque cleaner head: Dyson’s powerful V15 Detect High Torque cleaner head now has 56 polycarbonate teeth which looks like a comb. These small teeth prevent tangling around the bristles when you are cleaning, and automatically clears hair from the brush bar, so you don’t have to. 

Both the Dyson V15 Detect™ Total Clean and Dyson Omni-glide™ feature Dyson’s advanced filtration technologies. Our Dyson cyclone technology is efficient at separating dust and dirt from floors and surfaces and whole machine sealing means this isn’t leaked back into your homes. 

Exclusive to DysonCanada.ca and Dyson Demo Stores will be the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute that meets whole machine HEPA filtration standards and filters 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns. This is Dyson’s most hygienic vacuum yet and is ideal for anyone with air sensitivities. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute also comes with an additional battery pack.
