Dyson PencilVac

Introduction

Revolutionizing home cleaning with its sleek design and powerful performance, the Dyson PencilVac is the world's slimmest cordless vacuum cleaner. Measuring just 38mm in diameter and weighing 1.8kg, it is designed for those living in small spaces or seeking a secondary vacuum for precise cleaning tasks. The PencilVac features Dyson's fastest motor yet, the Hyperdymium 140k, which spins at 140,000 RPM and delivers 55AW of suction. This makes it ideal for navigating tight spaces and cleaning under low furniture. The PencilVac is expected to launch in the US and UK in 2026, with a global rollout already underway. Pricing details are not yet fully disclosed, but are expected to be competitive with other high-end cordless vacuums.
