the Dyson PencilVac stick vacuum finally available for purchase in the US after being revealed

. It costs $600. The company says it’s the “world’s slimmest vacuum cleaner.” We haven’t broken out any rulers to confirm that statement, but this is a ridiculously thin stick vac.

It achieves this thinness by using a motor inspired by the company

. It’s a small motor that actually rests on the shaft, so there’s no noticeable bulge where the components are mounted. This stick vacuum is actually, well, a stick. Just look at it.

It has attachments that increase the size a bit. For example, the conical brush bar cleaner head makes it similar to a traditional stick vacuum. However, everything is on top cylinders. This includes the bin, filter and motor.

Some attachments include something called a “Fluffycones” cleaner head. It has four cones on two brush bars that rotate in opposite directions to “untangle and release even long hair, preventing hair from getting stuck around the brush bar.” There are also lights on both ends to help illuminate any lingering dust particles.

It weighs almost four pounds and has the same diameter throughout. This makes it easy to hold anywhere on the body, which helps to clean the surface. It ships with a swappable battery pack that lasts about an hour and has a magnetic charging dock to get things done.

The vacuum works with the MyDyson app, which allows users to check battery life and adjust settings. Some of this information is also displayed on the LCD screen on top of the handle.

We had the opportunity to test it last year and were impressed. The motor is very powerful, despite the reduced size, and the device is easy to maneuver. If you have $600 to spare and a dirty house, this might be a good buy.
