When you live in a small apartment or if you want to keep things minimalist, you want to have appliances that can save you on space and clutter. But a lot of times, the ones that work the best are those that take up a lot of space and have huge storage. Or so we thought. There are now companies that have made it their mission to create the thinnest or slimmest things. Dyson is one of those.
Dyson has unveiled its latest innovation in home cleaning technology: the PencilVac, touted as the world’s slimmest and most powerful cordless vacuum cleaner. With a diameter of just 38mm, comparable to Dyson’s Supersonic hair dryer, and weighing approximately 1.8 kilograms, the PencilVac combines minimalist design with advanced functionality, making it an ideal solution for compact living spaces and hard-to-reach areas.
Designer: Dyson
The PencilVac’s slender form factor houses Dyson’s newly developed Hyperdymium motor, the smallest and fastest the company has produced to date. Spinning at 140,000 RPM, this motor delivers 55 air watts (AW) of suction power, ensuring efficient cleaning despite the vacuum’s compact size.The device’s design allows it to lay nearly flat, with an operational height of less than 10cm, enabling it to clean under furniture and in tight spaces with ease.
Departing from Dyson’s traditional cyclone technology, the PencilVac employs a two-stage linear dust-separation system that captures 99.99% of microscopic particles, releasing cleaner air back into the environment. Its unique Fluffycones cleaning head features four conical brush bars that rotate in opposite directions, effectively detangling long hair and ejecting it as small hairballs to prevent clogging. Additionally, green LED lights on either side of the brush head illuminate dust particles, ensuring thorough cleaning.
The PencilVac is equipped with an LCD screen that displays battery life and power mode, providing users with real-time information during cleaning sessions. It offers up to 30 minutes of runtime in Eco mode and features a hot-swappable battery system for extended use.The vacuum also connects to the MyDyson app, allowing users to access settings, maintenance alerts, and usage statistics.
Currently available in Japan, the PencilVac is expected to launch in the UK in 2026, with pricing details yet to be announced. Its combination of sleek design, powerful performance, and innovative features positions it as a compelling option for urban dwellers and those seeking a high-tech, space-saving cleaning solution. The Dyson PencilVac proves that powerful performance doesn’t have to come in a bulky package. It redefines what a vacuum cleaner can be: thin, light, and smart enough to keep up with modern lifestyles.
Whether you’re tidying up a studio apartment or navigating the tight corners of a minimalist home, the PencilVac offers a sleek and intelligent cleaning companion that doesn’t compromise on efficiency. With Dyson continuing to push the envelope on innovation and form, the PencilVac might just be the future of compact home cleaning.
