“The most compact aspirator in the world.” This is how Dyson has its last wireless vacuum cleaner, Pencilvac. With a diameter of only 38 mm, it is as fine as the last hair dryer of the brand, the Dyson Supersonic R, originally designed for hairdressers and accessible to the general public for a few months.
To achieve such delicacy, the company first had to develop an engine with a diameter of 28 mm, the size of a part of two euros, so that it remains in the 38 mm handle. Called Hyperdymium 140k, it is “the smallest and faster vacuum ever designed by Dyson,” the company said in a press release.
Despite its small format, you can generate an aspiration power of 55 AW when reaching 140,000 rpm, according to the brand. It is 34% more powerful than its predecessor (105,000), the omni-glide ultrafin, launched in 2021.
A vacuum capable of unraveling hair
In addition to its delicacy, the pencil will also be light, with a weight of only 1.8 kg. Two elements that make it “Dyson’s most practical vacuum cleaner,” said the company. With its height of 95 mm, it is remarkably possible to place it flat on the floor to clean under low furniture.
Pencilvac’s other peculiarity is that he could unravel long hair thanks to his new brush called Fluffycones. This has four extended conical rollers on two brushes “that eliminate the hair as it is collected, thus avoiding that they are wrapped and working around the rolls,” said Dyson.
According to the brand, surpassing the sides, the four cones can also clean the smallest corners of a room. He assures that Pencilvac can clean perfectly in all directions thanks to its cones that turn in opposite directions. The two located in the front run in one direction, while those in the back run in the other.
To this is added the lighting in the front and rear to see the dust and, therefore, when the floors were properly cleaned.
With an LCD screen that shows the selected feed mode, as well as the remaining autonomy during use, the Pencilvac can offer up to 60 minutes of suction thanks to its interchangeable battery. It is magnetically connected to a care station to load (4 hours for a full load) and storage.
Marketed in Japan in the year, the price of Pencilvac is not yet known. It should be available in France in 2026.
