On June 6, 2023, Dyson launches its newest generation of cord free vacuums with the Dyson Gen5detect™ and Gen5outsize™. The most powerful cordless vacuum¹ featuring a new fifth generation Hyperdymium motor, the Gen5detect™ delivers 280 air watts² of powerful suction. Both machines also feature a fully sealed, whole-machine HEPA filtration system, engineered to capture 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns³, and 99.9% of viruses⁴. A new Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head has been re-engineered, revealing twice⁵ the amount of microscopic dust for increased brightness and range – so you can see exactly where to clean.

The Gen5outsize™ includes all the same pioneering technology of the Gen5detect™, with a 150% bigger bin, 25% wider cleaner head and double the run time designed to clean large homes.

The Dyson Gen5detect™ and Gen5outsize™ are available beginning today at DysonCanada.ca and Dyson Demo stores starting at $1,199.99 and $1,399.99, respectively.

Other key features of the Dyson Gen5 vacuum cleaners include:

- Built-in dusting and crevice tool: The machines transform into our most powerful handheld vacuums. Hidden inside the wand is a built-in dusting and crevice tool to save time between floor and handheld cleaning.

- Single button control: Both machines have a power button instead of the classic trigger, for more comfortable, continuous cleaning. This also allows users to swap hands while navigating obstacles, making cleaning easier.

- Fade-free, energy-dense battery: The Gen5detect™ has up to 70 minutes of suction⁶ and the Gen5outsize™ has up to 140 minutes of run time⁷ with an extra plug-in battery pack. Ten energy-dense lithium-ion cells deliver fade-free, powerful suction.

- Heavy duty cleans: The Gen5detect™ weighs 3.5kg and comes with a 0.77L bin and the Gen5outsize™ weighs 3.9kg and features a 1.9L bin.

Next-generation Hyperdymium motor 

The motor is smaller, faster and more powerful than its predecessor, spinning at up to 135,000rpm – up to nine times faster than a Formula One engine. This power enables the Gen5detect™ vacuum to have the most powerful suction of any Dyson cordless machine¹, capable of capturing viruses found around your home⁴. Engineers built this motor around a shorter shaft, and combined multiple parts into one, allowing for a more compact format, wrapped in a single piece of precision molded frame to ensure maximum power efficiency. 

Whole machine HEPA filtration – so dust and virus particles remain trapped in the bin 

The Dyson Gen5 vacuums feature Dyson’s most advanced cordless whole-machine HEPA filtration system. The machine is fully sealed to ensure it is expelling cleaner air into your home.

The vacuums feature 1.9m of filter media folded 145 times to trap 99.99% of potentially harmful particles down to 0.1 microns². The filter was also specially tested on live viruses to ensure 99.9% removal⁴. Fourteen cyclones also remove dust from the airflow so there is no loss of suction⁸, ensuring optimal performance with every clean.

Twice the Illumination⁴ – seeing is believing

Introduced in 2021, Dyson’s illuminating dust technology was developed to allow owners to see the microscopic particles hiding around their home. It did this by showing the hidden dust on the floor surface that is otherwise invisible to the naked eye using a blade of light.

The Gen5 vacuums possess a re-engineered Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head which produces twice the brightness⁵, covering even more of your floor. Dyson engineers designed the new light source to be positioned as low as possible in the endcap of our Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head, projecting a blade of light to illuminate particles on floors. This was a huge design challenge - to fit the printed circuit board (PCB) and thermal solutions into a tiny space without compromising pick-up.

New user interface, software advances – now shows you when your room is clean

Drawing inspiration from the way our illumination technology has changed the way people clean, the Dyson Gen5™ vacuums introduce a completely re-engineered user interface (UI) that now shows users in real-time when their surface is clean. A piezo sensor⁹ uses acoustic sensing to count and categorize particle sizes, and bars on the LCD screen now rise and fall according to volume of particles being removed in real-time – so owners know when to move on or spend more time cleaning.

In addition to the software updates to the UI, the Gen5 motor also required engineers to develop new software to monitor and control the motor’s speed, power and temperature – this works hand-in-hand with the new UI, empowering owners to troubleshoot potential issues and maintain their machines independently.

¹Tested at the inlet to ASTM F558, dust-loaded. 

²Suction tested to IEC62885-4 CL5.8 and CL5.9, tested at the flexible inlet, loaded to bin full, in Boost mode by independent third-party laboratory. 

³Filtration tested against ASTM F3150, tested in Boost mode by independent third-party laboratory. Filtration efficiency is calculated by comparing the number of standardized dust particles entering the vacuum cleaner against those released. The capture rate may differ depending on actual environment and the mode. 

⁴Virus capture performance was tested in Boost mode with H1N1 and MS2 by a third-party laboratory, demonstrating at least 99.9% removal and capture. Not tested on SARS-CoV-2 virus.
