Robot vacuums are great for keeping floors clean on a regular basis, but they don\u2019t catch everything. If you\u2019re looking for a tool to handle the finer details your robovac might miss \u2014 room corners, edges, hard stairs, entryways, etc. \u2014 Dyson\u2019s PencilVac Fluffycones is one of the lightest, most versatile stick vacuums you can buy. You can get one during Amazon\u2019s Big Spring Sale<\/a> for $449.99 ($150 off) at Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and Target<\/a>, marking a new low.<\/p>\n

The PencilVac is about as thin as Dyson\u2019s Supersonic hair dryer<\/a> and weighs under four pounds. Its slim design lets it reach spots that robot vacuums (and even some other stick vacuums) can miss. While it\u2019s not designed to do large-scale vacuuming (or for vacuuming carpet), it can handle dust bunnies on stairs, small tufts of hair, and debris like cereal or dried oatmeal with ease.<\/p>\n

The vacuum\u2019s built-in green LED lights shine on the ground, making it surprisingly easy to spot dirt, while its four \u201cfluffy cone\u201d roller bars are designed to suck up long hair without getting tangled up (as long as it\u2019s not too thick). For a deeper clean, Dyson also includes crevice and dusting tools for tackling baseboards and windowsills, as well as reaching into corners and tight spaces possibly overrun by cobwebs, like behind a TV console.<\/p>\n

While this is a versatile stick vacuum, it\u2019s not a powerhouse. Its 55 air watts of suction is noticeably weaker than Dyson\u2019s current lowest-end cordless stick vacuum, the V8<\/a>, which is a better choice for bigger messes. The PencilVac\u2019s battery life tops out at around 20 to 30 minutes depending on the setting, so it\u2019s best suited for quick touch-ups rather than deep cleans. But as a companion to your robot vacuum, it\u2019s a quirky, tiny gadget that might help your space stay a little more tidy. And, as our smart home reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy puts it<\/a>, it\u2019s \u201ca wildly overengineered device that\u2019s delightful to use \u2014 entirely unnecessary, but something you\u2019re probably going to really want anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robot vacuums are great for keeping floors clean on a regular basis, but they don\u2019t catch everything.
