Dyson PencilWash launches in UAE for AED 1,449 in May 2026

Dyson's thinnest wet cleaner yet weighs just 2.2kg and fits under low furniture with its 38mm pencil-thin design. The filter-free system uses only fresh water to clean 100m² per tank, ditching bacteria-prone filters entirely.

The Dyson PencilWash launches in UAE in May 2026 for AED 1,449 — positioning itself as the company's slimmest wet cleaner yet. The 38mm pencil-thin device weighs just 2.2kg and promises filter-free cleaning using only fresh water, a departure from traditional wet cleaners that trap dirt and breed bacteria. According to Dyson, it can clean up to 100 square metres on a single tank of water.

What makes the PencilWash different

The Dyson PencilWash's defining feature is its 38mm diameter handle — genuinely pencil-thin by cleaning appliance standards. At 2.2kg total weight (380g when held), it's designed to reach under furniture as low as 15cm and lies flat at a 170-degree angle.

The filter-free design sets it apart from conventional wet cleaners. Where traditional models trap dirt in filters that can breed bacteria and emit odours, the PencilWash continuously extracts dirty water and debris from its microfibre roller. A precision-engineered 8-point hydration system delivers fresh water to the 64,000 filaments per cm² roller with each rotation.

"We're keen on making machines smaller and lighter while dramatically improving performance," said John Churchill, Dyson's Chief Technology Officer. "PencilWash applies that thinking to wet cleaning: our slimmest, ultra‑light format that glides effortlessly and reaches where others can't."

Specs and performance

The PencilWash runs for up to 30 minutes on a single charge and takes 3.5 hours to recharge. The 300ml clean water tank covers up to 100m² of flooring in low-hygiene mode, paired with a 360ml dirty water tank for extraction.

Two hydration modes adjust water flow for different surfaces and mess types. The high-density microfibre roller spins to tackle wet spills and dry debris simultaneously, promising a quick-drying floor finish.

The battery pack is swappable for extended cleaning sessions, though additional packs are sold separately. Dimensions measure 266.5mm (L) x 198.3mm (W) x 1,158mm (H) when upright.

How it compares to existing options

Dyson claims the PencilWash is the slimmest wet cleaner compared to the top three dedicated floor washer models from the five largest global brands, based on market data from June 2024 to June 2025. The filter-free approach differentiates it from traditional wet/dry vacuums that require filter maintenance.

The 2.2kg weight puts it in lightweight territory for powered cleaning tools, though it's heavier than a standard mop. The 100m² coverage from a single water tank fills a practical gap for homes that need more than spot cleaning but less than commercial-grade capacity.

Unlike Dyson's DS60 vacuum, which added wet cleaning to an existing platform, the PencilWash is purpose-built for wet messes with a different form factor entirely.
