Is the Dyson PencilVac good for carpet?

It is designed mainly for hard floors like laminate, vinyl and tile. It handles low rugs, but a full-size Dyson stick is a better fit for wall-to-wall carpet.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 30 minutes of fade-free suction per charge. Runtime drops in boost mode, and the battery is removable so you can swap in a spare.

Does hair tangle around the brush?

Dyson uses four conical brush bars that are meant to shed long hair instead of wrapping it. Owners with pets and long hair report little tangling.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, the Fluffycones illuminated cleaner head, a pivot crevice tool, a single tool holder and a magnetic charging dock.

Can I wash the filter?

Yes, the filter is washable. Rinse it under cold water and let it dry fully before refitting.

Does it work with the MyDyson app?

Yes. The app adds machine settings and maintenance guidance, and shows battery and filter status.

About the Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones Cordless Vacuum

The Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones is a cordless vacuum that pairs Dyson's Hyperdymium motor with a very slim body. Its handle is 1.5 inches wide and fits in the hand for precise control.

The Fluffycones cleaner head spins on the spot. It has four conical brush bars that remove long hair without tangling and clean right to the edge. The head lights up dust and dirt in all directions. The anti-tangle brush, edge cleaning and LED headlight are built into the head.

The battery runs up to 30 minutes with fade-free suction and is removable. The bin empties in a way that reduces dust clouds. A magnetic charging dock stores the vacuum and its accessories. The MyDyson app adds machine settings and maintenance guidance.
