Dyson has introduced the PencilWash<\/b>, a new wet floor cleaner that follows last year\u2019s PencilVac<\/b> vacuum with a similar focus on compact design and manoeuvrability. The company is positioning it as a lightweight alternative to bulkier wet-cleaning machines, aimed particularly at smaller homes where space is more premium.<\/p>\n
Weighing just over 2.2kg and built around a 38mm narrow handle, the PencilWash is noticeably slimmer than many traditional wet floor cleaners. Like the PencilVac, its low-profile body allows it to recline close to flat, which should make it easier to clean under sofas, beds and other low furniture without awkward repositioning.<\/p>\n Image: Dyson<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Dyson says the cleaner uses fresh water throughout the wash cycle and is designed to leave floors drying relatively quickly after use. A high-density microfibre roller handles both liquid spills and everyday debris in one go, reducing the need for multiple cleaning passes. The absence of a conventional filter is also intended to minimise odour build-up and simplify maintenance.<\/p>\n The PencilWash includes a small onboard display that shows battery status and operating information, while a dedicated dock handles charging and storage when the unit is not in use. Unforunately, the dock doesn\u2019t have drying capability that is becoming common with the competition \u2013 so like the now-defunct Wash G1, you\u2019ll have to manually remove the roller to air dry it.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested, the Dyson PencilWash is priced at S$499<\/b>. Availabilty is not known yet, but you can sign up at this link and be informed when it becomes available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
