Engineering Marvel in a Slim Package
The breakthrough lies in Dyson’s new Hyperdymium 140k motor—their smallest (28mm) and fastest vacuum motor yet. Despite being 34% more power-dense than its predecessor, it fits seamlessly into the ultra-slim handle alongside the battery, dustbin, and filtration system.
What truly sets the PencilVac apart is its innovative Fluffycones cleaner head. Four conical brush bars rotate in opposite directions, automatically ejecting hair as it’s picked up—no more tangled brush bars or manual cleaning. Perfect for pet owners and long-haired households.
Smart Features That Impress
The PencilVac isn’t just slim; it’s intelligent. It’s Dyson’s first vacuum to connect to the MyDyson app, letting you monitor battery status and filter health. Green LED lights illuminate hidden dust particles, while the magnetic charging dock keeps everything organized.
At just 95mm when flat, it slides effortlessly under furniture. The no-touch syringe-style bin ejection keeps hands clean, and the air-compressing system maximizes the tiny 0.08L capacity.

The Bottom Line
The Dyson PencilVac redefines what a vacuum cleaner can be. While its 55 AW suction can’t match flagship models like the V15 (280 AW), it excels at hard floor cleaning, maneuverability, and reaching impossible spaces. US and UK customers will need to wait until 2026, but this game-changer is worth the anticipation.
