When to Choose Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones
Hard-floor homes that prioritize ultra-slim design and minimal weight above all else
The PencilVac Fluffycones is Dyson's lightest cordless vacuum ever at 3.96 lbs. It's a hard-floor specialist with gorgeous design, but the very low suction makes it unsuitable for carpets or heavy-duty cleaning.
Strengths
- Ultra-slim design at just 3.96 lbs — lightest Dyson ever
- Fluffycones soft roller head glides on hard floors
- HEPA filtration with whole-machine sealing
- Iconic Dyson design and premium materials
Limitations
- Lowest suction in the roundup at ~55 AW — hard floors only
- Small 0.4L dustbin limits cleaning sessions
- 30-60 min runtime depends heavily on power mode

- Unique flexible joint design for reaching under furniture
- 2-stage filtration with 99.99% fine dust capture
- Quiet operation ideal for noise-sensitive homes

- Premium price for mid-range performance specs
