Dyson has today announced the PencilVac, its slimmest cordless vacuum to date. At just 38 mm in diameter and weighing under 4 lbs (1.8 kg), it’s also the lightest cordless model the company has ever produced. Dyson plans to launch the PencilVac in both the U.S. and U.K. markets in 2026.
Fluffycones Brush Head with LED Illumination
The PencilVac builds on the Omni-glide’s dual-brush design with its new Fluffycones head, which uses four counter-rotating conical brush bars—two at the front and two at the rear—to lift and eject long hair before it can tangle. Integrated green LEDs at both ends of the head ensure even the finest dust is visible, while the vacuum’s slim profile makes it ideal for quick hard-floor touch-ups and reaching into tight or overhead spaces.
Hygiene and Maintenance
- No-Touch Emptying: A “syringe-style” bin-ejection mechanism plunges debris out while wiping the housing clean.
- Removable Filters and Shell: Both the outer shroud and filtration components can be detached for more thorough washing.
- App & Display Alerts: MyDyson connectivity provides filter-clean reminders, maintenance guidance, and battery monitoring; an LCD on the handle shows real-time power mode and remaining runtime.
