Dyson is adding a new device to its growing lineup of slim home cleaners. The company just announced the PencilWash, a product that builds on the design of last year’s PencilVac, which Dyson describes as the “world’s thinnest vacuum cleaner.”

While the PencilVac focuses on dry debris, the PencilWash is designed for wet messes on hard floors.

Like its sibling, the PencilWash packs its motor, battery, and electronics into its narrow handle. However, there’s no dustbin here. Instead, Dyson has swapped in a water tank housed inside a larger cleaning head. The machine relies on a single high-density microfiber roller brush to clean floors.

The PencilWash uses a pressurized water system to feed clean water and a low-foaming cleaning solution onto the roller. As it moves across tile, laminate, or sealed wood, the roller scrubs the surface and collects dirty water into a separate compartment. The floor won’t come out completely dry, but Dyson says any remaining moisture should evaporate quickly.

At 4.9 pounds (around 2.2 kilograms), the PencilWash is slightly heavier than the 4-pound PencilVac. Even so, it remains lightweight compared to many traditional floor scrubbers. Its handle can also recline nearly flat, allowing you to clean under beds, sofas, and other low furniture without any hassle.

The device is rated for over 30 minutes of run time on a full charge. For larger homes, Dyson will offer a spare battery that attaches to the end of the handle, though it’s sold separately.

There’s also a notable difference in price. While the PencilVac with four rotating cone brush heads sells for $600, the new PencilWash costs $349. That lower price also includes a charging dock in the box.
