Cleaning habits were critical to saving lives during the Covid-19 pandemic, but as we continue to try and transition back to our old normal the latest Dyson Global Dust Study has revealed that 60% of people are now only cleaning when they see visible dirt or dust.

The 2023 study conducted by the multinational technology company surveyed 30 000 people from 39 countries and found that post-pandemic, cleaning habits globally are slipping with only 41% of people claiming to have a regular cleaning schedule.

To help you proactively keep your homes clean and safe from the invisible, a team of 370 global Dyson engineers have developed the Dyson V12 Detect Slim vacuum that uses light to reveal hidden dust.

“Our latest vacuum uses adapted illumination technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode beam into the cleaner head that is precisely positioned at a 1.5-degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between dust and floor. 

“We don’t think detection is enough, so we remove and meticulously size and count the particles 15 000 times a second using an acoustic piezo sensor which converts vibrations into electrical signals, displaying precisely the size and number of particles sucked up on an LCD at the back of the vacuum,” says James Dyson, Chief Engineer and Founder.

The illumination cleaner head was the brainchild of a Dyson engineer who noticed that airborne particles in their home glistened in the sun and began to research how they could take this notion and apply it to the fine dust we cannot see in our home. 

This sleek vacuum is a perfect addition to any home and comes with exciting features which include:

  • Acoustic Dust Sensing which assures that you have thoroughly cleaned. The LCD screen displays real-time scientific proof of a deep clean by counting and measuring minute dust particles using a piezo sensor, which automatically boosts suction power across varied floor types and dust quantities.
  • The new anti-tangle hair screw removes tangles quickly. Hair is spiralled off and into the garbage by the anti-tangle conical brush bar. Small-space cleaning with a motor.
  • Filtration - To expel cleaner air, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim uses Dyson's 5-stage advanced filtration technologies, which capture 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Our Dyson cyclone technology effectively separates dust and grime from floors and surfaces, and whole-machine sealing ensures that this is not leaked back into your home.
