Last year Dyson introduced what it immediately declared “the world’s thinnest vacuum cleaner.” Possibly, then, the title of world’s thinnest wet floor cleaner goes to the recently unveiled PencilWash.
Promising a “light, thin and small solution to wet cleaning without compromising on hygiene”, the PencilWash is designed to give you the convenience of cleaning everywhere with minimum fuss. Like the vacuum cleaner with which it shares the first part of its name, the diameter of the handle is only 1.5 inches from top to bottom, and the whole thing weighs a little over 2 kilograms.
The ultra-thin design allows the cleaner to lie almost completely flat, allowing you to get into tight corners or under low furniture, where traditionally bulky tools might struggle. Its slim proportions also make storage easy if you have a small home.
Dyson says PencilWash applies only fresh water to floors, and it should dry very quickly after quickly eliminating spills and stains. Its high-density microfiber roller is designed to tackle both wet and dry debris in one go, and because it doesn’t have a traditional filter, you won’t have to worry about trapped dirt or lingering odors.
Above the power button is a screen that displays the remaining battery level, and the handle can be inserted into the charging dock when not in use.
The Dyson PencilVac will cost $349, with a release date not yet announced.
