Dyson Releases the Dyson Digital Slim Cordless Stick Vacuum

Dyson has released a new cordless stick vacuum in the U.S., the Dyson Digital Slim. This new release is engineered to be 33% lighter than the Dyson V11 model, aiming to offer a balance of power and lightweight design.

Weighing just 2.6 lb at the handle, the Dyson Digital Slim is purpose‑built for effortless, one‑handed cleanup: its compact frame slips around furniture and up stairs with ease, yet still delivers the strong suction, anti‑hair‑tangle brush, and fully sealed filtration you expect from a Dyson. While its 20‑minute medium‑power runtime and petite dustbin limit marathon sessions, the Slim excels at quick pickups and above‑floor jobs where agility matters most—making it an ideal fit for apartments, smaller homes, and anyone who finds full‑size cordless models unwieldy. That unmatched blend of feather‑light handling and “big vacuum” performance earned it Vacuum Wars’ 2025 Best Lightweight Cordless Vacuum award. See additional info

Cleaning Modes and Controls

The vacuum features three cleaning modes—eco, medium, and boost—to cater to different cleaning needs. An LCD screen displays the selected power mode, remaining run time to the second, and maintenance alerts, giving users control over their cleaning sessions.

Performance and Suction Power

Equipped with a Dyson Hyperdymium motor that spins up to 120,000 rpm, the vacuum delivers up to 100 air watts (AW) of suction power in its powerful mode. Users can expect up to 40 minutes runtime when operating in eco mode.

Filtration System

The vacuum employs advanced whole-machine filtration that traps 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, effectively capturing dust and pet dander. This system ensures that the air expelled is cleaner, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
