Dyson's new vacuum cleaner has cool-new laser detect tech; it's not a gimmick [details]

British home appliance maker Dyson on Monday unveiled its new generation of cord-free vacuum cleaner in India - the Dyson V12 Detect Slim at Rs 58,900.

Engineered to detect hidden dust as small as 10 microns and equipped with an acoustic piezo sensor to enable scientific proof of what's been sucked up, this new Dyson technology will redefine deep cleaning in Indian households, the company claims.

"As engineers our job is to solve daily problems, and the past few months has created plenty of new ones with more time spent indoors. We are all cleaning more frequently, trying to remove the additional house dust but desperate for peace of mind that our homes are truly clean," James Dyson, Chief Engineer and Founder said in a statement.

Developed by a team of 370 engineers globally, this latest vacuum uses a Dyson Hyperdymium motor which generates up to 150 air watts of powerful suction and 5-stage filtration captures 99.99 per cent of dust particles down to 0.3 microns for a powerful deep clean.

Understanding that now more than ever people want more hygienic homes, Dyson engineers set about developing a technology that 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.

The dust size and quantity are shown on the in-built LCD screen, so the user can see how much dust the vacuum has removed, as well as the different sizes of particles and deliver scientific proof of a deep clean.

The product is available at Dyson.in and Dyson Demo stores.
