Dyson first announced its game-changing PencilVac Fluffycones back in May 2025, but as of today, it's officially available to buy. According to Dyson, this is the "world's slimmest vacuum cleaner" — a feat that was achieved by removing the bin and handle altogether. Instead, the PencilVac looks like a broom, with control buttons and the waste storage container housed inside the stick itself. Truly, I've never seen anything like it. But how does it perform?
Well, after 10 months of patiently waiting, I got to try the PencilVac in my own home for the month of January, and I was shocked at how easily it replaced by beloved V15 Detect. The PencilVac is more than a concept, it's a fully-fledged hard floor cleaner, with Dyson's fan-favorite laser tech and handy user insights, all displayed on a smart screen on-board the handle.
