Dyson PencilVac Review: Ultra-Light Vacuum Has Quarter-Sized Motor
Dyson released its newest stick vacuum called the PencilVac in 2026. The vacuum weighs just 4 pounds and has a motor the size of a quarter that spins at 140,000 rpm.
Dyson's new PencilVac represents the company's push to make vacuums as light and slim as possible. The vacuum weighs only 4 pounds, making it much easier to carry around your home.
The key innovation is the motor, which Dyson shrunk to roughly the size of a quarter. Despite being tiny, it spins at 140,000 rpm - the company's fastest motor yet. This allows the vacuum to maintain strong suction while staying lightweight.
But the PencilVac comes with trade-offs. Multiple reviewers note it works best on hard floors and light cleaning tasks. The Strategist warns that "if you're looking for a single cordless vacuum to handle all your cleaning, the Dyson PencilVac isn't for you."
Despite its limitations, some reviewers still find themselves reaching for it regularly because of how easy it is to use.
If you're tired of heavy vacuums, this ultra-light option might appeal to you. But reviewers warn it can't handle all cleaning jobs, so you'd need to know its limits before buying.
More detailed reviews will emerge as the vacuum becomes widely available to consumers.
