Dyson is expanding its Pencil series and introducing a new product aimed high – the PencilWash, which it claims is the thinnest floor washer in the world. After last year crowning the PencilVac as "the thinnest vacuum cleaner in the world," the company continues with the same design and engineering line, this time in the wet cleaning category. The message is clear: Less bulk, less weight, without compromising performance and hygiene.
The PencilWash weighs just over 2 kg and includes a handle with a diameter of about 3.8 cm along its length – an unusual figure in the landscape of electric washers, which usually come with a wide body and protruding tanks. Dyson presents it as a "lighter, thinner, and more compact solution for wet cleaning," designed to fit into tight spaces and make storage easier in small apartments.
One of the standout features is the device’s ability to lie almost completely flat on the floor. This means easier access to areas under low furniture and corners that are hard to reach with traditional devices. Beyond the design, this is an attempt to provide a practical solution to a daily problem – cleaning areas that are usually postponed for another time.
In terms of operation, Dyson emphasizes that the PencilWash uses clean water only when washing. It is designed to quickly handle liquids and stains, leaving a surface that dries relatively fast. A high-density microfiber roller is intended to allow collection of wet and dry dirt in a single pass, so there is no need to vacuum first. Additionally, the device does not include a traditional filter – which should reduce dirt and odor buildup inside the system.
On the top is a small screen displaying the battery status, and charging is done via a dedicated docking station. As with the vacuum model, the emphasis here is on minimalism – both in design and in operation.
The price is set at NIS 349, and the launch date has not yet been announced. At this stage, Dyson continues to position the Pencil series as a product line attempting to redefine the category through thinness and exceptionally low weight.
