Dyson’s Gen5 Detect is an even-more powerful sucker

Dyson has revealed its latest range-topping vac. It has a completely different range from the rest of Dyson’s cordless range – the Gen5 Detect. The ‘detect’ bit isn’t new – as with the V15 Detect, the fluffy hard floor head boasts a laser, now with improved performance for highlighting dust and debris around a third further away than before.

It also boasts an enhanced Hyperdymium motor, spinning at up to135,000 rpm for further improved suction as well as a ‘fully sealed’ filter (though you can still screw it off for cleaning).

There’s no US or UK launch or pricing yet confirmed for the device, but we do know that it has already launched in Korea for 1.39 million won which is – wait for it – the equavelent of $974 or £880. While we don’t quite expect those prices when it debuts in the west, it’s clear it’s going to be a step up from the $799/£599 V15 Detect Absolute.
