Dyson - PencilVac Fluffycones Cordless Vacuum - Black/Black

I have owned a ton of Dyson vacuums and still do, but after we changed the majority of our flooring to tile or engineered wood, the traditional vacuums weren't cutting it as much. I was a tad skeptical of the Fluffycones but I should be smacked for even thinking to doubt the fine folks at Dyson. This thing gets everywhere and is so incredibly agile. I feel like Fred Astaire dancing around and vacuuming. The dual lasers make sure I get everything instead of just pushing it around. Now instead of a much longer vacuuming every week or so, I can do quick touch-ups as I see them and for that the battery life and bin capacity are perfect. Also easier to fit into my day. Do a couple rooms, empty the bin, put back on charger (even though I still had plenty of time left), and then do it again in a day or two. So easy!

We’ve had our Dyson Fluffycones for several weeks now and are loving it! We’ve had several of the cordless vacs, but this doesn’t compare. This is easier than grabbing a broom to sweep up! We find it is used at least once a day, but usually multiple times. We have an almost 2-yr-old granddaughter that I keep during the workdays - and there is always something needing to be cleaned up. This is powerful, so lightweight, easy to just grab from the charger that is stands on, and simple to dump the dirt. It doesn’t hold a lot of dirt, but it’s so lightweight and easy to clean out that it isn’t an issue. And it vacuums up an incredible amount - so it seems our floors are staying cleaner on a daily basis.

This product glide very smooth in all directions and the battery life is pretty decent for it size

My family and kids really enjoying using this my kids love it cause it's easy to manage and my wife loves it she says it's something so satisfying about the lasers showing the dirt and pet hair in her home and seeing it clear and clean is a wonderful feeling , and satisfying to see it clean

PROS: Ease of use (weight and size) Excellent build quality Green LED illumination Fluffycones (they look brand new even after heavy use with dog hair) Excellent engineering SO-SO: Runtime before charging (30 mins on ECO mode) Price CONS: Small debris capacity Doesn't do well with heavy carpet or thicker rugs The charging base is too light, and it's too easy to move around I’ll admit it; I'm a big fan of Dyson. Over the years, they’ve made remarkable strides in the wireless vacuuming arena, nudging other brands to follow their lead in the quest to innovate home and personal electronics. We use a lot of Dyson products, including upright, stick, and robot vacuums, as well as headphones, air purifiers, and hair dryers. Currently, we’re still using a V11 that we purchased over seven years ago, and it’s in fantastic shape, even with a shedding Duck Toller pup in our home. One of the standout features of Dyson vacuums is their user-friendliness. They’re light and can be picked up at a moment’s notice, which is truly how Dyson changed the game when they first launched their wireless "stick vacuum." Enter the new Dyson Pencilvac, which is incredibly lightweight yet powerful enough to tackle hardwood floors with ease. In our home, the upstairs is completely carpeted, where we use our Dyson Vis Nav, while the downstairs features hardwood flooring. Initially, we didn’t think we needed a dedicated vacuum for the hardwood, but that all changed once we got the Pencilvac. Like most Dyson products, the design and craftsmanship set it apart from the competition; every component feels expertly engineered and crafted from high-quality materials. We already had the MyDyson app installed on our devices, which made it a breeze to connect to the Pencilvac. While the app is quite useful for our headphones and air purifier, providing settings, firmware updates, and usage stats, I’m not entirely convinced it's necessary for the Pencilvac. That said, it did have an update ready to go when I first started using it. Connecting it to the app automatically registers the vacuum and activates its generous two-year warranty. The Pencilvac consists of three distinct parts: the top section houses the battery, the middle section includes the collection chamber and controls, and the main brush head completes the assembly. Additionally, it comes with a handy crevice and brush combo tool for those specific cleaning tasks. Battery life is sufficient for our needs, offering about 10 minutes of use on the most powerful mode—plenty of time to clean our entire downstairs area in our 2500 sq ft home. For larger spaces, it’s recommended to use balanced mode, while eco mode is ideal for everyday maintenance. On eco mode, the battery lasts around 30 minutes, about 20 minutes on balanced mode, and a solid 10 minutes on the most powerful setting. Fortunately, it charges quickly, so you can easily top it off if 10 minutes isn’t enough. If the battery runs completely out, though that’s hard to imagine, it takes a few hours to fully recharge. The Pencilvac truly shines when it comes to quiet cleaning; it glides effortlessly over hardwood and tile floors and reaches tricky spots with ease thanks to its cone brush. In fact, my kindergartener loves using it to help out with cleaning. One of my favorite features is the bright green LED lights that illuminate both the front and back of the vacuum. These lights make it simple to spot dirt and dust, even in well-lit rooms. They ensure that you can pick up all the hair and give you a good sense of how much vacuuming is needed. Without those LED lights, you might miss a lot of dust and hair. Some potential buyers may wonder whether this vacuum can clean carpets effectively. In our experience, it does navigate a few thin area rugs, but when it comes to standard carpeting, it tends to struggle. Another version of Dyson's products (such as the V series) vacuum would definitely outperform it in those situations. However, there is one aspect I’m not particularly fond of: the lightweight plastic charging stand. I wish it were made of metal or at least sturdier because it tends to wiggle around when you pull the vacuum off. The trick is to step on the front of the stand while pulling the vacuum off, but it still feels a bit awkward. Our older V11 has a third-party metal stand that doesn't present this issue, despite the V11 being much heavier than the Pencilvac. Currently priced at $600, the Pencilvac is certainly on the higher end compared to many other options, but it offers exceptional quality in return. While Dyson products tend to come at a premium, you might want to explore other Dyson models in this price range, especially if you need something that excels on heavy carpets or features mopping.
