Dyson has announced the launch of PencilVac, its new cordless vacuum cleaner which stands out for its ultra-thin format and a set of technical innovations aimed at offering efficient and practical cleaning. The device boasts a diameter of just 38 mm, making it the thinnest on the market, thus sporting a unique and very special design with a weight of 1,8 kg. It goes without saying that it has the powerful Hyperdymium 140k motor, that with only 28 mm in diameter is the smallest and fastest developed by the brand to date. This engine, capable of reaching 140.000 revolutions per minute, provides a remarkable suction in relation to its size, allowing for performance without sacrificing maneuverability or ease of use, or at least that's what the company promises. We give you all the details.
Plus, the slim design is especially useful in small homes or for cleaning under low furniture, where conventional vacuum cleaners often get stuck.
Head Innovation: Fluffycones and Tangle-Free Cleaning
UOne of the most striking new features is its Fluffycones head, which introduces the use of four smooth conical rollers arranged on two bars that rotate in opposite directions. This system captures long hairs and prevents them from tangling around the brush, automatically expelling them to the side and ensuring smooth cleaning both when moving forward and backward. This is complemented by angled nylon bristles that lift the finest dust and help collect debris in a single stroke.
To improve visibility even in dark corners or on difficult floors, The PencilVac incorporates its already characteristic laser-like illumination on the front and back, allowing invisible dust to be distinguished and facilitating the removal of small particles. Its head can also sneak under furniture and reach edges precisely thanks to the special arrangement of the cones.
The Dyson PencilVac's technology goes beyond the motor and head design: Includes a 22mm linear filtration system capable of capturing 99,99% of particles down to 0,3 microns, ensuring that the air released into the environment is especially clean. An automatic dust compression method reduces the volume of collected waste, ensuring that this translates into less frequent emptying. It's worth keeping in mind that the tank is now significantly smaller than on previous vacuum cleaners, so we'll keep this information in quarantine until we can steal it to see if this is nothing more than a "snack" in the end.
Dyson bets on the contactless emptying mechanism, which facilitates sanitizing the bin and expels accumulated dust in a single gesture, without having to touch the waste. This feature aims to improve user comfort and their health, especially for those sensitive to allergens found in household dust.
Smart connectivity and user experience
As a novelty, The PencilVac is Dyson's first cordless vacuum cleaner with connectivity to the MyDyson app -yes, finally-. Through this app, you can check the battery status, receive filter maintenance recommendations, and access personalized guides to get the most out of the device. The vacuum also has an LCD screen integrated into the handle that displays real-time information on the remaining battery life, the selected cleaning mode, and maintenance reminders.
The official autonomy of the Dyson PencilVac is up to 30 minutes in Eco mode, although the cleaning time may vary depending on the selected setting and the type of surface. The battery is interchangeable, allowing you to extend the cleaning time by adding additional modules. And it goes without saying that it's compatible with different heads, so you can use the one that best suits your cleaning area.
Availability and price
For the moment, Dyson has confirmed that the PencilVac will be launched in markets like Spain "soon.", but with no specific dates to mark on the calendar. Unfortunately, no specific details about the official price have been revealed either.
James Dyson, founder of the company, has highlighted that the development of the PencilVac has been an engineering challenge focused on achieving a extremely thin device but capable of delivering the power and precision typical of Dyson products. This new model certainly seems to have all the ingredients to achieve this. We can't wait to clean with it.
