Full details

The Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones is designed for users seeking a lightweight, powerful, and maneuverable cordless vacuum for efficient daily cleaning.

FAQs

How long does the battery last?

The Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones provides up to 30 minutes of fade-free suction on a single charge. Runtime can vary based on the power mode used.

How do I clean the filter?

The filter should be rinsed under cold water until the water runs clear. It must be completely air-dried for at least 24 hours before being reinserted into the vacuum to prevent damage.

Can this vacuum be used on carpets?

The PencilVac Fluffycones is primarily designed for hard floors. While it can pick up debris from low-pile carpets, its optimal performance is on hard surfaces where the Fluffycones™ head is most effective.

What is the capacity of the dustbin?

The dustbin has a capacity of 0.8 liters. It is designed for hygienic emptying and compacts dust.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours. The charging dock provides a convenient place to store and charge the vacuum.

Does it come with different attachments?

Yes, it typically comes with a combi crevice tool that rotates for cleaning awkward spots, and it stores on the magnetic charging dock.

Is the battery replaceable?

Yes, the battery is a click-in type and can be swapped with a compatible spare battery to extend your cleaning time.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum not turning on.

Ensure the battery is charged. Check that the battery is securely clicked into place. If the issue persists, try a different power outlet for the charger.

Reduced suction power.

Check if the bin is full and empty it. Ensure the filter is clean and completely dry. Inspect the cleaner head and wand for any blockages and clear them.

Battery not charging.

Verify the charging contacts on both the vacuum and the dock are clean. Ensure the charger is properly connected to the dock and the power source.

Fluffycones™ head not spinning.

Check for any tangled debris or hair around the brush bars and clear them. Ensure the vacuum is powered on and the head is properly attached.

App connection issues.

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the vacuum is within range. Restart both your device and the vacuum. Re-pair the vacuum if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fully charge the vacuum using the magnetic charging dock before first use. The LCD screen will indicate charging status.
  2. Attach the desired tool to the wand or directly to the cleaner head.

Compatibility:

  • Flooring: Best suited for hard floors (e.g., wood, tile, laminate). While it can handle low-pile carpets, its primary design is optimized for hard surfaces.
  • MyDyson App: Connects via Bluetooth to provide battery status, filter maintenance alerts, and usage insights. Ensure your mobile device is compatible with the app.

Care:

  • Bin Emptying: Use the hygienic bin ejection system to empty dust and debris directly into your trash can. Aim to empty after each use or when dust reaches the MAX line.
  • Filter Maintenance: The filter should be washed regularly (check the MyDyson app or manual for specific frequency). Rinse under cold water until the water runs clear, then air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.
  • Cleaner Head: Periodically check the Fluffycones™ brush bars for any debris and clean as needed. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the vacuum body and accessories.
