  "account": "Dyson's latest product, the Camerajet toothbrush, is an electric toothbrush and water flosser combined into one device. Despite some teething issues after its launch, the brush has made its way back onto virtual store shelves, bringing with it a hefty price tag of £419.99.\n\nThe Camerajet boasts several clever features. It includes a 100,000-pixel macro-lens camera that captures 28 images of your mouth every second, identifying gaps between teeth and automatically blasting water or mouthwash into those spaces. This app-enabled camera allows you to watch a live stream of your mouth on the Dyson app, offering a unique glimpse into your oral health.\n\nThe brush features a normal width handle, unlike some cordless flossers that require awkward refilling. It also has a \"anti-gravity\" tank that adapts to how you're holding the brush, ensuring it always has liquid to dispense. The brush head is made with a conical shape that sweeps and removes plaque at once, rather than just puncturing the sticky surface as traditional \"needle-type\" jets do.\n\nDyson claims that their conical shape is more effective at removing plaque and is gentler on gums and enamel. However, the high price tag of the Camerajet includes replacement heads that cost £25 for two. These heads have an RFID tag that tracks usage and notifies you when it's time for a replacement.\n\nDespite the initial issues with the brush, Dyson stands by its product with a two-year warranty. They assure that the camera is only active during live viewing or auto-jetting, and no images are saved on the product or in the cloud. The company insists that the camera is only active during live viewing or auto-jetting, and no images are stored.",
