All about the Dyson Gen5detect and the Dyson Gen5outsize

Your vacuum dreams are about to come true. Dyson's latest cordless vacuums feature a new fifth generation Hyperdymium motor, spinning at up to 135,000 RPM Just to put that in perspective, most vacuum motors typically run at 10,000 RPM. A super-fast vacuum might run up to 35,000 RPM.

Both machines feature a fully sealed, whole-machine HEPA filtration system that can capture 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns3, and 99.9% of viruses. Both devices feature a reimagined Fluffy Optic cleaner head, which can now reveal twice the amount of microscopic dust. Dyson engineers designed the new light source to be positioned as low as possible in the endcap of the cleaner head, projecting a blade of light to illuminate particles on floors. The new machines include a built-in dusting and crevice tool, as well as a power button (instead of the classic trigger).

The Dyson Gen5detect and the Dyson Gen5outsize are available now.

The Gen5detect offers up to 70 minutes of suction. Both devices feature a user interface (UI) that can show you when your surface is clean in real-time. A piezo sensor uses acoustic sensing to count and categorize particle sizes. Bars on the LCD screen now rise and fall according to volume of particles being removed in real time.

The Gen5outsize includes all the same technology as the Gen5detect. But this cordless vacuum features a 150% bigger bin, a 25% wider cleaner head and an up to 140-minute run time. It includes an extra plug-in battery pack.

What are the benefits of using a cordless vacuum instead of a corded model?

Considering ditching your corded model for a cordless vacuum? There are many benefits to a cordless vacuum that you might not know about.

Cordless vacuums tend to be lighter compared to corded models, making them a great choice for people who can't or don't want to do any heavy-lifting. No more extension cord mess! Because these cleaning appliances are cordless, they don't require an outlet and can be used virtually anywhere. You can use a cordless vacuum to clean your car, pet bed, stairs, living spaces and even up-high places that are hard to reach.
