Dyson has launched its ultra‑slim Pencil Vacuum in China after a recent global unveiling, priced at 3,999 yuan (~$560). Pre‑orders are live on JD.com, with open sales beginning September 8 at 10:00 AM. The cordless cleaner stands out for its 38 mm cylindrical body and Dyson’s smallest, fastest vacuum motor yet.
The Pencil Vacuum’s Hyperdymium motor spins up to 140,000 RPM inside a 38 mm chassis, delivering up to 55 AW of suction in Boost mode. The main unit weighs just 0.92 kg and measures 1160 × 226 × 78 mm, putting it in laptop‑light territory for easy maneuvering around tight spaces and furniture. Dyson targets quick, precise cleaning with a design that can lie nearly flat to reach low clearances.
Battery life is rated at up to 30 minutes in Eco mode, with a full recharge taking about 3.5 hours. The 0.08‑liter dustbin uses a linear compression chamber and a syringe‑style ejection system that pushes debris directly into the trash, keeping hands clean and the shroud wiped during emptying. A sealed, dual‑layer filtration setup captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns, while a straight‑line airflow design aids separation and reduces clogging.
Headlining the floorcare tech is Dyson’s new Fluffycones multi‑cone roller head: four tapered conical brushes driven by dual motors to resist hair tangling by guiding strands away from the rollers. The cones protrude at the edges for true edge‑to‑edge pickup, and the head glides in all directions for 360‑degree cleaning. Nylon fibers on the cones help detangle longer hair and improve dust lift on hard floors.
The Pencil Vacuum includes one main cleaner head plus two precision tools and ships with a magnetic wall‑mount dock for charging and storage. An on‑board LCD shows cleaning mode, remaining runtime, and filter alerts, while a single button switches among Eco, Medium, and Boost. Connectivity via the MyDyson app provides maintenance notifications and performance insights.
Dyson recently expanded its floorcare lineup with the V8 Cyclone flagship at 150 AW and a swappable battery and also reintroduced its fanless table fan design through the Dyson Cool CF1 signaling broader rollouts of both compact and traditional form factors.
