It’s hard to resist Dyson’s $150 off PencilVac Fluffycones

Robotic vacuums are great for keeping your floors clean on a regular basis, but they don’t pick up everything. If you’re looking for a tool to handle the finer details that your robovac might miss — room corners, edges, hard stairs, doorways, etc. — Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones It is one of the lightest and most versatile vacuum cleaners you can buy. You can get one through Amazon’s Big Spring Sale For $449.99 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best buyand goalhitting a new low.

The PencilVac is as thin as Dyson supersonic hair dryer It weighs less than four pounds. Its slim design allows access to places that robot vacuums (and even some other vacuums) can miss. Although it’s not designed to do large-scale vacuuming (or to vacuum carpets), it can handle dust bunnies on stairs, small hair strands, and debris like grains or dried oatmeal with ease.

The vacuum’s built-in green LEDs shine on the floor, making dirt surprisingly easy to spot, while the four ‘thin cone’ rotating bars are designed to suck up longer hair without tangling (as long as it’s not too thick). For a deeper clean, Dyson also includes crevice and dusting tools to tackle baseboards and window sills, as well as getting into nooks and crannies that might be infested by cobwebs, such as behind a TV console.

While this vacuum is versatile, it’s not a powerhouse. The 55W suction power is noticeably weaker than Dyson’s current lower end cordless vacuum, V8which is a better choice for larger messes. The PencilVac’s battery life is about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the setting, so it’s well suited for quick touch-ups rather than deep cleaning. But as a companion to your robot vacuum, it’s a quirky little gadget that might help your space stay a little tidier. As our smart home reviewer Posted by Jennifer Pattison Tooheyit’s “an over-engineered device that’s fun to use — completely unnecessary, but something you probably really want anyway.”
