There are vacuum cleaners, and then there are *vacuum cleaners*. Dyson\u2019s new cordless model, the Dyson Gen5 Detect, falls firmly into the latter camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first vacuum to feature Dyson\u2019s next-generation Hyperdymium motor \u2013 which spins at up to 135,000 rpm, some nine times faster than a modern-day Formula 1 engine \u2013 the Gen5 Detect is the brand\u2019s smartest and most powerful sucker to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To go alongside that shiny new motor, the vacuum boasts a fully sealed, whole-machine HEPA filtration system and a new \u2018Fluffy Optic\u2019 cleaner head that supposedly reveals twice as much microscopic dust \u2013 using a suite of lights and sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the best part? The Gen5 Detect is engineered to capture 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns \u2013 that\u2019s virus territory, people. In other words, Dyson\u2019s latest cleaning creation is a shoo-in for a place atop our list of the best vacuum cleaners money can buy in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dyson says its inventors built the vacuum\u2019s new motor around a shorter shaft, combining multiple parts into one and wrapping everything in a single, precision-moulded frame to ensure maximum power efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This redesign certainty pays dividends on the endurance front. The Gen5 Detect promises 70 minutes of continued run time, which is around 10 minutes more than the already impressive equivalent figure boasted by the V15 Detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gen5 Detect does away with its predecessor\u2019s trigger, too, opting instead for the same triggerless control as Dyson implemented on its V12 Detect vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the vacuum\u2019s new cleaner head, it projects a blade of light \u2013 presumably in a manner akin to the spaceship from Close Encounters \u2013 to illuminate otherwise invisible particles on floors and in hard-to-reach areas of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And finally, to make things even more science-fiction-movie-prop, the Gen5 Detect sports a brand new user interface (UI) that shows you \u2013 in real-time \u2013 when your room is clean. To do this, Dyson says the vacuum is equipped with a sensor that uses acoustics to count and categorize particle sizes, activating bars on an LCD screen that rise and fall according to the volume of particles being removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No US or UK release date or pricing has been revealed for the Dyson Gen5 Detect just yet \u2013 but rest assured, it\u2019s set to be eye-wateringly expensive. The new vacuum is already on sale(opens in new tab) in Australia for a whopping $AU1,499 (equivalent to around $940 \/ \u00a3830), so we\u2019re inclined to recommend that you begin saving your pennies now if you\u2019re keen to upgrade your current vacuum to Dyson\u2019s latest piece of cleaning kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
