Dyson PencilWash makes wet cleaning feel effortless
Built for daily spills, stubborn stains
Dyson introduces the PencilWash, its slimmest and lightest wet cleaner yet. It’s designed for modern homes that value both efficiency and hygiene.
At only 38mm thin along the handle and weighing 2.2kg, it’s built to glide and reach places that usually collect dust and forgotten spills.
Designed to slip into real life
The PencilWash feels closer to holding a broom than pushing around a bulky machine. The 38mm ultra-slim handle sits comfortably in hand, making quick cleanups feel less like a chore.
It steers with a natural twist and lays almost completely flat, reaching under beds, sofas, and consoles with a clearance as low as 15cm.
Its compact build also means easy storage, fitting into tighter spaces without demanding a dedicated corner.
Fresh water only, every time
Wet cleaning often comes with a compromise. Traditional systems trap dirt in filters that can smell, clog, and affect performance over time.
The PencilWash removes that layer entirely. Its filter-free system reduces the risk of sludge buildup and unpleasant odours, so maintenance stays simple and performance remains consistent.
Dyson combines hydration, agitation, and extraction in one seamless motion. An 8-point hydration system distributes clean water evenly across a high-density microfibre roller, packed with 64,000 filaments per square centimeter.
The roller spins rapidly to lift wet spills and dry debris in one pass, while dirty water is continuously extracted on every rotation.
The result is straightforward: you are always cleaning with fresh water, from the first swipe to the last.
Built for daily spills and stubborn stains
The PencilWash offers two hydration modes, allowing you to adjust water flow depending on the mess and the floor type.
Light spills can be handled quickly, while tougher stains receive a more thorough rinse, all with a quick-drying finish that lets you walk through your space sooner.
A 300mL clean water tank covers up to 100 square meters. With up to 30 minutes of runtime on a single charge, it’s designed to clean more of your home in one uninterrupted session.
A lighter way to keep things clean
Dyson continues its direction of making machines smaller and lighter while improving performance.
The PencilWash brings that philosophy into wet cleaning, pairing a pencil-thin profile with the precision engineering the brand is known for.
For homes that value ease, hygiene, and thoughtful design, the PencilWash turns everyday floor cleaning into something simpler and far more manageable.

The LG Sound Suite reshapes the sound of your home
1st home audio system powered by Dolby Atmos Flexconnect
LG Electronics recently released the LG Sound Suite at CES 2026. It is the world’s first premium soundbar audio system powered by Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, helping reshape the sound of your home.
The system is anchored by the H7 soundbar, which automatically adapts Dolby Atmos sound to a room’s layout. This does not require complex installation nor precise speaker placement.
The soundbar is powered by LG’s α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3. This enables advanced features like spatial up-mixing, object separation, and content-aware audio optimization.
The suite also features a wireless, modular ecosystem that allows users to combine the H7 soundbar with optional surround speakers and a subwoofer. There are up to 27 different system configurations to fit owners’ setups.
For instance, consumers can start with a simple setup and gradually expand to a full 13.1.7‑channel home theater. This makes the system scalable for different spaces and budgets.
All components under the LG Sound Suite are equipped with Peerless speaker units. This assures users of premium craftsmanship with technologies to bring high-quality and immersive sound.
Dolby Atmos FlexConnect intelligently optimizes audio performance based on speaker placement. It harnesses the power of AI, ensuring immersive sound even when speakers are positioned freely around the room.
In addition, the system includes Sound Follow, which uses ultra-wideband technology to adjust the listening sweet spot based on the user’s location for a more personalized experience.
Meanwhile, Room Calibration Pro uses AI processing to analyze room acoustics and fine‑tune sound output for balanced and room-filling audio.
