Dyson has unveiled the next gadget joining its product lineup — the Car+Boat handheld vacuum.
This compact new cleaner promises to deliver the same power of Dyson's full-sized cordless stick vacuums in a miniaturised package designed specifically for cleaning the interior of your car, boat, or hard-to-reach at home.
Available in the United States today, the Dyson Car+Boat will release in the UK on February 4 at £249.99.
Dyson has cut prices across its floorcare, hair treatment, and air filtration lineups — with up to £150 off the top-of-the-line laser-guided Dyson V15 Detect Submarine. Price starts from £229. The deals are only available while stock lasts, with some models already sold out due to high demand
It's worth noting that if you already have a recent cordless stick vacuum from Dyson, like the laser-guided V15 released last year, it's possible to snap the attachments onto the main body without the wand, making something similar to the Car+Boat handheld.
But if you don't already own a Dyson — or are specifically looking for something to keep outside of the house, the Car+Boat definitely doesn't compromise on power. Inside the Dyson Car+Boat is high-performance motor that spins at 110,000 rpm. That's really fast. For comparison, the engines on a Boeing 737 jet hit an average of 15,000 rotations-per-minute.
It puts the Car+Boat on-par with the power of Dyson's V8 stick vacuum, which was first launched in 2016.
Dyson has fitted its handheld cleaner with a 50-minute battery life and filtration system that captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which should be enough to capture dust mites, pet dander, bacteria, and other nasties.
Despite the compact design that's built for handheld use, the Dyson Car+Boat comes equipped with a high-performance motor that spins at 110,000 rpm — that's the same speed as the flagship cordless models from just a few years ago

Asaph Ooi, Dyson Engineer, said: "We've redefined what a handheld vacuum can do. The Dyson Car+Boat delivers the kind of power, filtration, and ease-of-use that our customers have come to expect, making it the ultimate companion for cleaning every surface, from home to on-the-go."
The arrival of the Car+Boat marks a return to the handheld form-factor for Dyson, following the discontinuation of its previous model, dubbed the Dyson Humdinger.
This handheld gadget should be particularly valuable when tackling mattresses, pet beds and upholstery where allergy-triggering particles commonly accumulate.

Inside the box, you'll find attachments including a Mini Motorised Tool for stubborn dirt and hair, a 2-in-1 Combination Tool featuring a dusting brush and wide nozzle, and a Crevice Tool for edges and narrow gaps.
The launch of the Dyson Car+Boat vacuum comes after a busy few months for the British brand, following the launch of its first dedicated wet floor cleaner, the Wash G1, and its wireless, noise-cancelling headphones.
