Dyson unveils world's slimmest vacuum cleaner in Seoul
Dyson unveiled its slimmest cordless vacuum cleaner -- the PencilVac, featuring a 38-millimeter diameter handle and weighing 1.8 kilograms -- at a launch event in Seoul on Monday. To achieve the PencilVac's ultra-slim form factor, the British appliance maker developed a new proprietary Hyperdymium motor, roughly the size of a Korean 500-won (37 cents) coin. 'The challenge was to get something small enough to fit this new 38 millimeters,' Nathan McLean, senior engineering manager at Dyson, said at a press briefing. 'It is over 34 percent more power-dense than its predecessor and spins 140,000 times per minute.' Despite its compact build, the PencilVac delivers strong suction performance, boasting 55 air watts -- sufficient to eliminate more than 99 percent of fine dust on hard floors, the company said. The new model also debuts Dyson's first FluffyCone head, equipped with four conically-shaped nylon brush bars. The brushes rotate in opposite directions, enhancing pickup efficiency across all directions. 'Hair is ultimately spinning in this conical shape, where it is ultimately removed and migrated towards the end, where it conveniently comes off of the brush bar. So there's no tangling and you can see that they are actually inside the cleaner head here,' said Tom Moody, president at Dyson Home. In addition, dual illumination green LEDs installed at the front and rear of the headlight illuminate up fine dust particles invisible to the naked eye, helping users detect and remove them thoroughly. The PencilVac is also Dyson's most maneuverable model yet. Its flexible design allows users to pivot smoothly around furniture and tight corners with minimal effort, enabling comprehensive cleaning in any direction. Dyson has also reimagined the dustbin architecture of the PencilVac. The vacuum compresses collected dust within a separate chamber, effectively maximizing bin capacity -- up to five times greater than previous models -- and reducing the frequency of emptying. The compressed dust is then ejected deeply into waste bins, minimizing airborne dust and ensuring a more hygienic disposal process, as users never come into direct contact with the debris.

Dyson just announced the ‘world's slimmest vacuum cleaner' — and it looks like a game-changer
When it comes to some of the best vacuum cleaners, Dyson is a brand well known for power, advanced features and, of course, innovative design. So it comes as no surprise that its latest, cordless vacuum cleaner is capturing everyone's attention. The British company has just announced the Dyson PencilVac, which it claims is the "world's slimmest vacuum cleaner". At just 38mm (1.4 inches) in diameter and 1.8kg (3.96lbs), it's the perfect size for fitting into narrow spots, and can go under low furniture. Yet despite the humble appearance, the Dyson PencilVac is packed full with new tech and ground-breaking features — and it's all in the handle wand. At first glance, the Dyson PencilVac certainly doesn't look like the average cordless vacuum. In fact, it resembles more of a glorified Swiffer, and there is a notable absence of its signature dust bin canister. However, the Dyson PencilVac comes with a clever, air-compressing bin design inside. Essentially this compresses dust into its tiny, 0.08L capacity, allowing it to hold up to five times more dirt and debris. What's more, this means less trips to empty into the trash. Impressive! Despite its super thin size, the Dyson PencilVac still boasts super power. This is thanks to its ' Hyperdymium' 140K motor that's only 28mm (1.1 inches) — the brand's smallest motor yet. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It also comes with an upgraded, dust-separation system to capture micron particles and ensure only cleaner air is released back into the home. The PencilVac is also Dyson's first vacuum cleaner to have a conical brush bar cleaner head that ejects long hair. This will prevent a tangled mess in the bar, and is ideal for pet owners. What's more, as it continuously spins, this ensures cleaning in all directions right up to the edge and baseboards that are usually harder to deep clean. Unlike previous cordless vacuums, the Dyson PencilVac is the first to connect to the MyDyson app — which was originally limited to its purifiers and other air treatment machines. Now you can receive real-time reports and handy alerts, such as when to clean the filter, and additional settings for your PencilVac. The LCD screen will also display your power setting and battery life. And as for runtime, its swappable battery promises up to 60 minutes of runtime, which is always a bonus if you want an uninterrupted cleaning session. For those who are just as excited about the Dyson PencilVac as I am, you'll have to wait a little longer, as it won't be officially released until 2026 (sadly). However, I certainly can't wait to review this slimmest cordless vacuum ever — which looks to be something of a game-changer when it comes to space-saving vacuum cleaners. Watch this space for more updates.

Dyson PencilVac Is A Super Skinny Sucker
The new Dyson PencilVac Dyson has officially unveiled its skinniest vacuum yet: the new PencilVac, which measures just 38mm in diameter. Looking more like a space-age broom than a vacuum cleaner, it's packed with a bunch of cutting-edge tech designed to make quick cleanups less of a hassle. That 38mm diameter puts it on a par, waistline-wise, with Dyson's Supersonic r hair dryer and it weighs less than 4lbs. That makes it the British motor specialist's lightest cordless cleaner to date. But don't let the size fool you; there's plenty of suction-smarts onboard. The PencilVac is driven by a new 28mm Hyperdymium motor that spins at a whopping 140,000RPM. That's enough to generate 55AW of suction, which Dyson pairs with a new dual-stage filtration system that captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Its new Fluffycones (amazing dog/cat name, no?) cleaner head uses four counter-rotating conical brush bars - two in front, two behind - that help scoop up long hair before it tangles, and push dirt right out to the skirting boards. The Fluffycones are Dyson's evolution of the dual-brush design from the Omni-glide, which launched in 2021. There's a small LCD display on the handle and you can also sync it up with Dyson's app. It's the company's first cordless vac with MyDyson app connectivity, letting you check things like battery status, filter reminders, and maintenance steps on your phone. It lights the way (literally) with green LEDs on both ends, so you can spot dust whether you're pushing or pulling. Like the Omni-glide, the PencilVac isn't designed for carpets, and it doesn't convert into a handheld like some of Dyson's chunkier models. Battery life is capped at 30 minutes on low power, but the battery is swappable, so you can grab a spare if you want to clean longer. There's also a new air-compression dust bin that squeezes in more debris despite its smaller 0.08L size, and a 'syringe-style' no-touch emptying system that plunges out dust while wiping the shroud clean. Charging is handled by a magnetic floor dock, so the whole thing is grab-and-go ready. The Dyson PencilVac will land in the US and the UK in 2026; there's no word yet on pricing.

Dyson confirms very smart new vacuum and it's like nothing we've seen before
Dyson is launching a wafer-thin new vacuum cleaner, and it's like nothing the UK firm has released before. It's called the PencilVac and aims to offer a lightweight way of sucking up the muck from your floors. Dyson is boasting that this will be the world's slimmest vacuum and will measure in at just 38mm in diameter. That should make it feel more like an old-fashioned broom than a high-tech carpet cleaner. And don't think that skinny stick design will mean poor power. Dyson says its upcoming dust buster will feature a Hyperdymium 140k motor which can spin at up to 140,000RPM to generate 55AW of powerful suction. To ensure you don't miss a spec of dirt, it also comes with Dyson's clever laser head, which guides you to the grime. There's also a clever double brush bar to help make this new machine Dyson's most manoeuvrable vacuum. This will help users clean perfectly backwards or sideways, right up to the edges – all with minimum effort. Because it's so thin, Dyson has also added a new air-compressing bin design to this device. This is able to compress the dust as it is separated from the airflow, and means the smaller collection bin can hold five times more dust and debris. The new PencilVac also gets a small display, smartphone connectivity and a new magnetic dock for refills. The only slight drawback of having such a thin vacuum is battery life, as this machine only lasts for around 30 minutes before needing a refill. You can swap the battery if you need more cleaning time, but it's certainly a compromise. The other thing to note is that this machine won't go on sale until 2026 and we're yet to see official pricing. 'I have long wanted to make a vacuum of only 38mm diameter (the same as my latest hair dryer, the Supersonic),' said James Dyson, Founder of Dyson. 'But first we needed to develop our most powerful Hyperdymium motor at only 28mm diameter to achieve such a slender machine. Then a new dust separation and compaction system was developed. We have taken cleaner heads in a new direction with our four conical brush bars counter rotating, so that the head simply floats on the floor, giving excellent cleaning in any direction.' And, speaking about the cleaner, John Churchill, Chief Technology Officer at Dyson added: 'Engineering our smallest and fastest vacuum motor is no simple feat. It was more than miniaturising every piece of technology. 'From a new motor, a new paradigm in cleaner heads, to a new separation system, the Dyson PencilVacTM represents our most advanced engineering to date.' READ SOURCE
