Dyson has unveiled the new Dyson PencilVacTM, a lightweight cordless vacuum at only 38mm diameter that Dyson says is packed full of new technology. According to the brand, it is the only vacuum with four fluffy cones to detangle long hair.
The new FluffyconesTM cleaner head ejects even long hair from the brush bar as it cleans – meaning no more cutting or pulling hair out of tangled brush bars, Dyson says.
The Dyson PencilVacTM has four cones in two brush bars, one behind the other, which rotate in opposite directions causing the cleaner head to float across the floor, uniquely cleaning perfectly both forwards and backwards as proven by the laser like illumination both in front and behind. The cones project at the edges, giving unparalleled cleaning right to the skirting board. At just 1.8kg and 38mm in diameter, the Dyson PencilVacTM with its double brush bar is Dyson’s most manoeuvrable vacuum, cleaning perfectly backwards or sideways, right up to the edges – all with minimum effort.
James Dyson, Founder of Dyson, commented: “I have long wanted to make a vacuum of only 38mm diameter (the same as my latest hair dryer, the SupersonicTM). 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.”
Powered by the new Dyson HyperdymiumTM 140k motor
The Dyson PencilVacTM is the slimmest vacuum at just 38mm in diameter, enabling it to clean in the narrowest gaps in the home, Dyson claims. The new format also enables it to lay flat on the ground, flattening to just 95mm to clean under low furniture.
The smallest of powerful motors at 28mm diameter had to be developed to be small enough to fit into the 38mm handle, while being fast enough to generate powerful suction, Dyson says.
The result is the new HyperdymiumTM 140k motor – Dyson’s smallest and fastest vacuum motor to date – with a diameter of just 28mm, about the size of a 500-Japanese Yen coin. In such a small package, every component had to be engineered to the micron to work more efficiently, for greater power density. It is 34 per cent more power dense than its predecessor, spinning at up to 140,000RPM to generate 55AW of powerful suction on the Dyson PencilVacTM
Dyson’s first connected cordless vacuum
The Dyson PencilVacTM is Dyson’s first cordless vacuum that connects to the MyDysonTM app, offering owners more control and convenience than ever before, the company says. Through the app, owners can access additional settings and get real time maintenance alerts, including when and how to clean the filter. It also provides step-by-step guidance on how to care for and get the most out of their Dyson vacuum. This enhances owners’ experience while ensuring optimal performance over time.
The Dyson PencilVacTM is also equipped with an LCD screen, displaying the power mode selected and remaining run time while cleaning.
