Dyson Unveils PencilVac: A Slim Vacuum Cleaner for Hard-to-Reach Areas

In a move to expand its lineup of innovative cleaning solutions, Dyson has introduced the PencilVac, a slim vacuum cleaner designed to tackle hard-to-reach areas with ease.

Key Features

  • Powerful Motor: The PencilVac is powered by the same motor used in Dyson’s Supersonic hair dryer.
  • Innovative Brush Design: It features four cones in two brush bars that rotate in opposite directions to strip and eject long hair without tangling around the brushes.
  • Compact Design: Various components were redesigned to make this device extremely compact while delivering high suction power.
  • Advanced Filtration System: The new filtration system effectively separates dust from airflow without causing clogs or declines in performance over time.

Performance Testing

Engadget tested the PencilVac’s capabilities on an office kitchen floor covered with Cheerios cereal pieces and crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies. The results were impressive:

  • Despite its smaller size compared to previous models, the Hypderdymium 140k motor proved effective against various types of debris.

User Experience

  • Handling: Users may need practice holding the PencilVac perfectly upright before releasing the lock mechanism after cleaning sessions to avoid dropping it.
  • Weight: The PencilVac weighs approximately 3.96 pounds (1.8 kg), making it easy to maneuver in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Illumination: It features laser-like lights at both ends of the head that illuminate dust particles, helping users spot missed areas during cleaning.

Innovative Bin Design

One standout feature is the air-compressing bin design, which allows for five times more capacity compared to standard sizes while maintaining the same overall dimensions. However, the exact volume will remain unclear until the official release date next year. Dyson claims the PencilVac captures 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns, ensuring only cleaner air is expelled back into the home environment.
