  • Dyson has revealed the PencilVac, a stick vacuum just 0.9 inches wide.

  • The PencilVac is currently a prototype and not yet available for sale.

Dyson has introduced a new vacuum prototype called the PencilVac. This device stands out because it is only 0.9 inches wide, making it the thinnest stick vacuum the company has ever shown. The PencilVac is about as slim as the handle of Dyson’s Supersonic hair dryer.

The PencilVac is designed to help you clean in places that are usually hard to reach. Its narrow body allows it to fit into tight gaps, such as between furniture or along baseboards, where traditional vacuums often cannot go. Dyson says this new vacuum could make it easier to keep small or awkward spaces clean.

Right now, the PencilVac is still a prototype. Dyson has not announced when it will be available for purchase or how much it will cost. The company shared the PencilVac as part of a showcase of its latest technology and research efforts.

Dyson is known for its innovative approach to home appliances. The PencilVac continues this trend by focusing on a very slim design. If the PencilVac moves beyond the prototype stage, it could offer a new way to clean spaces that are difficult to access with regular vacuums.
