Dyson PencilVac Cordless Vacuum: What is it and when can you buy?

Dyson, known for its innovative home tech products, is set to release a new ultra-slim vacuum called the PencilVac. This new model, designed to be the slimmest vacuum in the world, is packed with brand-new features and cutting-edge technology.

Powered by Dyson’s tiny but powerful 28mm digital Hyperdymium motor, spinning at 140,000RPM, the PencilVac is a lightweight (1.8kg) and narrow (38mm wide) hard flooring vacuum cleaner. It is designed for easy maneuverability and can easily slip into small spaces, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas.

The PencilVac uses four fluffy conical rollers, aptly named Fluffycones, fixed on two roller bars that spin in opposite directions. This unique design allows the cleaner to glide and clean in two directions, ensuring a thorough cleaning process.

One of the key advantages of the PencilVac is its light weight and ease of use. Similar to Dyson’s previous models like the mini V12 Detect Slim and the Omni-Glide, the PencilVac is designed to make vacuuming effortless. It can get into difficult spots, swivel around chair legs, and lie flat to clean under furniture.

However, the PencilVac does have some limitations. The small battery size limits the running time to up to 30 minutes on the lowest setting, with only 5 minutes of vacuuming time on the maximum strength mode. The dustbin size is also small at 0.08L, requiring frequent emptying. Additionally, the PencilVac is designed for hard flooring only, so a separate vacuum may be needed for carpeted areas.

Despite these limitations, the PencilVac offers some handy features such as edge-to-edge cleaning, twin lights for illuminating dust and hair, and an LCD screen displaying remaining run time and power settings. It also has a dust compressing system to maximize bin capacity and a syringe-style, no-touch mechanism for easy bin emptying.

Overall, the Dyson PencilVac is a sleek and innovative addition to Dyson’s lineup of cordless vacuums. With its slim design and powerful performance, it is sure to be a popular choice for those looking for a lightweight and easy-to-use vacuum cleaner. Stay tuned for more updates on the PencilVac’s launch date and pricing.
