Dyson Airblade dB V2 at Waitrose - Colchester - 🚼

Описание: Here we have the first ever John Lewis and Partners Dyson Airblade dB V2, with this one being in a Waitrose baby room of all places as an AB03 replacement. I opened the door and just thought it was a normal dB at first so left it, but about 30 seconds later I clocked that dBs don't normally have the HEPA logo, so I rushed back and found it to be the second-ever of the new units.

Dyson relaunched the grey dB only (no white) in November 2025 due to "high demand", however this relaunched model is not the same as the original one, as it now uses the same Dyson Digital V4 motor that's present in the HU02. This does mean that the air is a lot weaker, however it's still pretty effective and the noise emissions are absolutely incredible for a dryer of this speed.

Despite this being a completely different dryer though, the AB14 model number has rather strangely been kept, instead of being changed to something like HI02. I personally will be calling dB V2 and AB14 V2 since these are the closest it can get to the actual Dyson ones without getting these new ones confused with the originals, however if Dyson do eventually change the model number I will follow suit. As for the sticker itself, I have no clue what Sangchai Air Quality are doing on it, as they are a refrigeration company in Thailand.

Obviously I only found this yesterday, however I've decided to put it up early due to it being the second dB V2 discovered and the first ever sticker capture of one. I also want to try and establish a common naming scheme rather than New dB since Dyson have failed to.

All other toilets here retain their AB03s, and my video of the one in the accessible toilet will be uploaded in due course.
