The A17 Bionic Battery: Powering the Next Generation
Recording tech is inescapably limited due to cardboard tech. Dyson’s answer is to 2026’s A17 Bionic Battery; the A17 comes with a huge improvement compared to the previous power source.
What distinguishes A17 Bionic?
Most batteries use a form of graphite for their battery anodes. A17’s silicon-carbon is a bit better. Lithium is a little denser in construction than graphite so with better retention of lithium ions it will also lead to a retention increase in energy storage. This allowed A17 to be constructed so that it has the same frame to store 40% more energy totally resolved for length for the same weight increase. This immediately and directly translates to better runtime.
The A17 Bionic’s Intelligent Power Manager is what most people would refer to as the battery’s internal system. When the A17 is being used, the internal system will adjust to the energy needed at the time. It will allocate higher energies for the tougher sections of the area being cleaned while the more gentle sections will lead to a more energy conservative use as lower energy will be used to get the job done
Dyson Gen7 Detects Vacuum: If You See It, You’ve Believed It.
Dyson are now expanding on their success with the laser equipped vacuums by releasing the Gen7 Detect, where it describes itself as a “smart” vacuum which goes by making the invisible visible and allowing you to see the data evidence of a deep clean.
Advanced Particle Detection
The Gen7 not only improved laser tech, but the laser is now a multi angled, wider laser beam. This tech helps to identify and illuminate minute or super small dust particles that can be on hard surfaces or floors. This vacuum is more advanced than previous models because of the tech that it has after the dust is detected.
Dyson vacuums in the past had a piezo sensor that provided information about dust such as how much there was and the size of the particles. This to ensure the customer is provided with accurate information about what was dust, and how much there was. This vacuum should now keep and tailor that data to the build of the dust, whether it was dust, and how much there was, as well as about the data which was skin flakes and pollen. It should now keep and tailor that data to skin flakes, pollen, and of course there was dust. This is especially beneficial to the customers with dust related allergies, as it provides more information about what is being removed
Self-Adjusting Suction and a New Cleaning Head
The Gen7 has a piezo sensor that helps vacuum suck to the right amount based on the dust around it. If it detects a large amount of dust, it increases the motor power and then decreases it to save battery when the dust has been cleared. It also has a new and improved version of the Digital Motorbar cleaner head. This new head has a detangling cone that spirals hair and garbage to the bin, which helps with the annoying task of cutting hair from the brush roll.
Pure Hot+Cool Formaldehyde Gen2: Beyond Just Air Purification
Dyson’s air treatment technology takes a significant step forward with the Pure Hot+Cool Formaldehyde Gen2. This machine is no longer just about filtering out dust and allergens; it’s about actively destroying pollutants and providing detailed environmental feedback.
Destroying Formaldehyde, Not Just Capturing It
Formaldehyde is a common indoor pollutant released by furniture, paint, and cleaning products. While many air purifiers capture this chemical, Dyson’s new model is engineered to destroy it at a molecular level. It uses a Cryptomic filter that has a unique catalytic coating with the same structure as the Cryptomelane mineral. This filter continuously converts formaldehyde into tiny amounts of water and carbon dioxide, and it never needs replacing.
Whole-Room Sensing and Reporting
The Gen2 model is equipped with a suite of new sensors that provide a complete picture of your indoor air quality. It can now detect and report on a wide range of airborne particles and gases. Key metrics include:
- Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10): This covers microscopic particles like dust, pollen, and smoke that can penetrate deep into the lungs.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): These are gases released from things like paint, cleaning supplies, and cooking fumes.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): For the first time, the device tracks CO2 levels. High CO2 can indicate poor ventilation, leading to stuffiness and fatigue. This feature helps you know when it’s time to open a window.
All this data is accessible through the MyDyson app, which has been updated with a more intuitive interface. You can track your air quality over time, see which pollutants are most prevalent in your home, and receive personalized recommendations. The machine can also be fully automated, turning on and adjusting its fan speed based on the real-time sensor readings.
Supersonic Neural Hair Dryer: Intelligent Heat Protection
Dyson’s hair care line gets a major upgrade with the Supersonic Mural. This hair dryer is designed to protect your scalp’s health and enhance your hair’s natural shine by using an array of sensors to provide intelligent heat control.
Scalp Protect Mode
The standout feature of the Supersonic Mural is its “Scalp Protect Mode.” A time-of-flight sensor measures the distance between the machine and your hair, automatically reducing the heat as it gets closer to your scalp. This helps prevent heat damage to both your skin and hair roots, maintaining a comfortable temperature without you having to do anything.
When this mode is active, the LED indicator light on the dryer changes color—from yellow (low heat) to orange (medium heat) to red (high heat), showing you the heat level it’s applying. This simple visual cue makes you more aware of how you’re drying your hair and helps protect your scalp’s natural moisture barrier.
Attachment Learning
The Supersonic Mural also recognizes which styling attachment you’re using. It automatically adjusts to your last-used heat and airflow settings for that specific attachment, saving you time and effort. This smart memory function creates a more personalized experience, so your tools are always ready for your styling routine. These features include:
- Automatic Recall: The dryer remembers the settings for attachments like the styling concentrator, gentle air attachment, and diffuser.
- Seamless Switching: When you change from one attachment to another, the dryer instantly adapts to the new tool’s preset preferences, making your styling process smoother.
This small touch adds a layer of personalization that makes the daily routine much smoother and more efficient. It removes the guesswork and fiddling with settings, letting you focus on achieving the perfect style.
The Future is Automated and Intelligent
Dyson is promising to pack more smart technologies into their 2026 product line, to turn their devices into more smart home partner devices, instead of just powerful home devices. Dyson products will be able to gain and process their own data using embedded state of the art sensors and processors. They will ‘see’, ‘think’, and ‘adapt.’ With the A17 Bionic Battery, devices will be able to operate in a more ‘smart’ manner for longer. The Gen7 Detect vacuum will be able to ‘prove’ how much of a deeper clean it is able to achieve using data. The Pure Hot+Cool Formaldehyde Gen2 will manage your indoor environment instead of just simply filtering. The Supersonic Neutral will give you personalized protection to your hair and scalp.
- Dyson products have the promise of helping their user with more devices in the home. Dyson products will analyze, adapt, and inform the user to have a home environment and lifestyle that is more health conscious. Dyson’s continued commitment to investing in smart technologies, robotics, and core engineering fuels their consumers’ excitement for their next line of products.
