As the name suggests, the PencilVac is a lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner that is “pencil-thin” at only 38mm diameter. At just 1.8kg, the PencilVac is Dyson’s most manoeuvrable vacuum cleaner according to its maker.

Dyson also claims that it is the only vacuum cleaner with four fluffy cones to detangle long hair. Its new Fluffycones cleaner head is said to eject even long hair from the brush bar as you clean. In other words, there is no more cutting or pulling hair out of tangled brush bars.

The Dyson PencilVac has four cones in two brush bars, one behind the other, which rotate in opposite directions to clean both forwards and backwards. You will also know what you are cleaning, as the PencilVac has laser-like illumination both in front and behind.

Personally, I have been using Dyson Omni-glide for around four years. And I am still loving it due to its lightweightness (a wee bit heavier at 1.9kg) and easy manoeuvrability. I wonder how the PencilVac will fare against it. Hopefully, I will be able to get a review unit.
