Dyson’s newest vacuum is so thin it looks like a high-tech broom — and it just launched in the US

When it comes to some of the best vacuum cleaners, it seems not a day goes by when Dyson isn’t rolling out a new model. So it comes as no surprise to learn that Dyson has quietly released a new, innovative cordless — and it’s cheaper than the rest (yes, you heard right).

The PencilVac Fluffy is now on sale for $449 at Dyson, and it's essentially a modified PencilVac Fluffycones — claimed to be the ‘world’s slimmest vacuum cleaner’. The only difference is that it comes with a micro fluffy clean head design rather than a conical-shaped type.

Perhaps what’s more appealing is the PencilVac Fluffy's super-slim profile. At just 1.5 inches wide and 45 inches tall, it’s the perfect size for fitting into narrow spots and storing in small storage spaces or apartments. It also weighs just 2.9 pounds, which makes carrying it around the home literally a breeze.

Similar to its predecessor, the Dyson PencilVac Fluffy is packed with new ground-breaking features such as an advanced motor and syringe bin emptying (for less dust clouds), that's all in the handle. And at $100 less (for all this tech), I’d say this is a real steal.

There’s much to like about the PencilVac Fluffy. First, its ergonomic and lightweight design is a dream for those with compact homes and tiny utility cupboards. And despite its humble appearance, it boasts impressive power, thanks to its 28mm ‘Hyperdymion’ 140K motor located in the handle — the brand’s smallest motor yet.

With its soft ‘Fluffy’ head cleaner, this is designed for hardwood cleaning, preventing the risk of scratching while sucking up debris and fine dust. And if, like me, you were wondering where the signature dust-canister is, you’ll be glad to learn that it’s also hidden and out of sight.

Its clever, air-compressing bin design allows it to compress dust into its tiny, 0.08L capacity, allowing it to hold up to five times more dirt and debris. What’s more, its ‘syringe action’ bin-emptying system prevents dust particles from escaping into the air and, more importantly, saves you many trips to empty the trash.

The PencilVac Fluffy also comes with a compact magnetic charging dock with tool storage, so you can quickly grab-and-go when you need.

Better still, it comes with a handy Bluetooth option that connects to the MyDyson app (unlike older cordless models). So now, you’re able to receive real-time reports, alerts and all types of useful information on your phone.

Honestly, considering it's $100 cheaper than the PencilVac and still has the cutting-edge tech you need, this is a real bargain.
