I tried world's thinnest vacuum at Dyson's labs – skinny ‘PencilVac' is the SAS of cleaning gear with three killer perks

Sean Keach, Head of Technology and Science Published: Invalid Date, AM I really looking forward to cleaning? Dyson has achieved two impossible feats: making me thrilled about the idea of tidying the floor, and inventing the world's slimmest vacuum. I'm not sure which is more impressive. 10 It's called the PencilVac, and I've had a go with it behind closed doors at Dyson's Oxfordshire labs. Before I even grabbed the thing, I was blown away. Surely this is just a broom in disguise? Is Sir James Dyson having me on? It measures a frankly ludicrous 38mm across. That's about three Dairy Milk bars stacked on top of each other. BIN-CREDIBLE! All of the usual Dyson tech – the batteries, bin, and motor – has been crammed into the handle. So you've got battery cells at the top, followed by the computer system, then a shrunken motor that's Dyson's fastest yet. Next comes the bin, which uses a new compression system to fit five times more dust than its apparent 0.08-litre capacity. After all, Dyson tells me that most of a 'full' bin is usually air – so there's plenty of room for squashing. Then there's a dust separation mechanism, brush bars, and a Fluffycones cleaner head with a cone design that shifts long hair off to the side – so it can be sucked back up instead of requiring you to cut it out with scissors. You don't see most of this, of course. PencilVac just looks like a Dyson that's been hitting the treadmill. I'LL Naturally it all sounds like a vacuum cleaning dream, so I grab the handle and away I go. Watch Sir James Dyson unveil secret PencilVac, world's slimmest vacuum cleaner 10 It's feathery light and easy to manoeuvre. Dyson has built a kind of vacuum cleaning assault course for me that I whizz along effortlessly. I suspect my success is down to the gadget's hi-tech design and not my own cleaning skill – but they don't crush my dreams. This course has straights and hairpin bends – the Nürburgring of vacuuming. And at the end is a low shelf that I drop straight under. This thing lays almost flat – which is no surprise, given that is pretty much is flat. DYSON PENCILVAC – THE TECH SPECS Here's what you need to know... Size: 38mm x 226mm x 1,160mm (W x L x H) Weight: 1.8 kilos Motor: Dyson Hyperdymium 140k motor Motor RPM: 140,000 Filtration: Up to 99.99% (dow to 0.3 microns) Runtime: Up to 30 minutes Charge time: Four hours Cleaner Head: Fluffycones cleaner head (for detangling long hair and to-edge cleaning) Accessories: Rotating combi-crevice tool / conical hair screw for mattresses and stairs / magnetic floor-charging dock Picture Credit: Dyson 10 It feels like a tactical weapon: the sort of thing that SAS squaddies would use if dust mites were the baddies. Helping this image is a built-in laser that exposes dirt and debris. It's the vacuuming equivalent of night vision goggles and a red-dot sight. I dart between objects with stunning agility. I was born to do this. The room fades away. I daydream about running off with it, and living out my days as a kind of vacuuming sensei, cleaning the most complicated floor-spaces I can find. But I can't become Dyson's Mr Miyagi just yet, because the PencilVac isn't out until 2026, and still doesn't have a UK price. SIR JAMES DYSON SPEAKS TO THE SUN Here's what famed British inventor Sir James Dyson told The Sun's Sean Keach... Does PencilVac mark the beginning of a whole new era for vacuum cleaner design? Yes, it's a reinvention of the format of the vacuum cleaner – our third reinvention in fact! We started off by removing the bag to ensure vacuums didn't lose suction. Then we pioneered the simplicity and ease of cleaning with really powerful battery-powered cordless vacuums, which were lighter and much easier to use. Now, with the Dyson PencilVac, we're taking it a stage further, pioneering a new way to clean. All the technology is contained in a very slim handle that is just 38mm in diameter. The new Fluffycones cleaner head floats across floors making it very manoeuvrable as you clean; all while it detangles long hair, so you don't have to worry about that. A vacuum cleaner this thin must have seemed impossible for years – when did you first realise it was possible to actually manufacture a working device like this? When something seems impossible, it makes us as engineers want to solve it all the more! Especially if people say, 'It can't be done.' I've wanted to make a vacuum like the Dyson PencilVac for many years. But it required us to miniaturise everything about the product – which is a huge task. The diameter of our hair tools was the inspiration. Through lots of research, we realised that 38mm is the optimal size for most people to hold, and so this was the diameter chosen for our hair tools like the Supersonic hair dryer and Airwrap multi-styler and dryer. In order to fit it in the handle of the machine, we had to reengineer every component of the motor – down to the micron – while increasing its speed to 140,000RPM and maximising its power density for high-performance. It was clear that we couldn't use cyclones for the dust separation, because they were too big for the 38mm diameter, so we had to develop something entirely new. The new slim, in-line format meant we could use dust compression technology in a small diameter, but over a long area to maximise the bin capacity, all while ensuring effective filtration performance and no loss of suction. What was the biggest challenge to overcome in building the PencilVac? Developing the new Fluffycones cleaner head was perhaps the greatest challenge we faced – but also the most rewarding! We wanted to develop a cleaner head that would detangle hair, clean right up to skirting boards, and pick up dust and debris in all directions – a cleaner head that would solve many frustrations with existing cleaner heads. The new Fluffycones cleaner head features four conical brush bars. The challenge was engineering the drive system to ensure that all four cones, which are powered by two motors and four epicyclic gear boxes, spin at the same, consistent speed while maintaining its 7.5-degree angle for optimal pick-up performance. I'm delighted not only that we managed this, but in doing so made a vacuum cleaner which is a joy to use. Who do you see PencilVac being the perfect vacuum cleaner for? Once you've used it, and felt it float effortlessly across the floor, you'll realise it's unlike anything that has come before. It may be the only vacuum cleaner you need! Picture Credit: Dyson 10 CLEAN-UP TIME It's a thrilling bit of kit, which might be the first time that's ever been said about a vacuum cleaner. This thing is easy to use, takes up very little space, and gets into difficult nooks and crannies. It feels purpose-built for British homes. It'll make cleaning under and around the dining table an absolute breeze. A treat, even. It really is the SAS of cleaning gear: it's light and agile for tactical cleaning operations, it dispatches long hairs with ruthless efficiency, and it has whole-house endurance with a 30-minute runtime. I can already see myself arguing with my wife over who gets to use the PencilVac – but no matter who does, everyone's a winner. Maybe that's the real Dyson magic. 10 10

Apple and Google passwords exposed

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered what they are calling the 'mother of all breaches.' They discovered a massive collection of 30 databases containing more than 16 billion individual records, including passwords, for government accounts, Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram and more websites. Some of the datasets had vague names like 'logins' or 'credentials,' which made it hard for the team to figure out exactly what they contained. Others, however, gave clues about where the data came from. According to the researchers, the records were most likely compiled by cybercriminals using various infostealing malware , though they noted that some data may also have been collected by so-called 'white hat' hackers. The team at Cybernews, which found the records, said the information available to the wider internet was only briefly, before being locked down, but it is not possible to determine who owned the databases. With more than 5.5 billion people worldwide using the internet, researchers warned that a staggering number of individuals likely had at least some of their accounts compromised. They are now urging users across the globe to change their passwords immediately to protect their data from falling into the hands of cybercriminals. 'The inclusion of both old and recent infostealer logs makes this data particularly dangerous for organizations lacking multi-factor authentication or credential hygiene practices,' the researchers said. Cybernews noted that its researchers identified a database of 184 million records that was previously uncovered in May, found by data breach hunter and security researcher Jeremiah Fowler. 'It barely scratches the top 20 of what the team discovered,' Cybernews explained. 'Most worryingly, researchers claim new massive datasets emerge every few weeks, signaling how prevalent infostealer malware truly is.' The database of 184 million records not only contained secure login data for millions of private citizens, but also had stolen account information connected to multiple governments around the world. While looking at a small sample of 10,000 of these stolen accounts, Fowler found 220 email addresses with .gov domains, linking them to more than 29 countries, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, India, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. 'This is probably one of the weirdest ones I've found in many years,' Fowler told WIRED . 'As far as the risk factor here, this is way bigger than most of the stuff I find, because this is direct access into individual accounts. This is a cybercriminal's dream working list,' the cybersecurity expert continued. In total, Fowler discovered 47 gigabytes of data with sensitive information for accounts on various sites, including Instagram, Microsoft, Netflix, PayPal, Roblox, and Discord. The best action to take right now is to change your passwords if you use any of these platforms and also activate Two-Factor Authentication, which adds another layer of security to logging in by sending a secure code to your phone or email. The unprotected database was managed by World Host Group, a web hosting and domain name provider founded in 2019. It operates over 20 brands globally, offering cloud hosting, domain services, and technical support for businesses of all sizes. Once Fowler confirmed that the exposed information was genuine, he reported the breach to World Host Group, which shut down access to the database. Seb de Lemos, CEO of World Host Group, told WIRED: 'It appears a fraudulent user signed up and uploaded illegal content to their server.' Fowler said 'the only thing that makes sense' is that the breach was the work of a cybercriminal because there's no other way to gain that much access to information from so many servers around the world. The cybersecurity expert warned that this particular breach also poses a major national security risk. Exploiting government email accounts could allow hackers and foreign agents access to sensitive or even top-secret systems. The stolen data could also be used as part of a larger phishing campaign, using one person's hacked account to gain private information from other potential victims.

A Third, Larger Tesla Model Y Variant Could Debut This Year

Tesla Model Y With Six Seats Rumored We've been waiting a long time for more affordable Teslas, but it seems that the automaker is now looking in the opposite direction. The low-cost Model Y has been delayed, but according to a post on X, Tesla may be on the verge of launching a new variant with more luxurious seating for adults. According to the tweet posted by hacking engineer @greentheonly, a six-seater Model Y has been revealed in firmware, and the code hints that it may be offered globally, not just in China. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:10 Audi A5 replaces A4: So, what's changed? Watch More More Space And More Comfortable Seats The Model Y's 2025.20 update references the six-seater, and with Chinese buyers prioritizing rear legroom, it's no wonder that rumors of such a vehicle have been circulating for a while. Since the code was found in a domestic Model Y, it may not be exclusive to China, so if it comes here, what can we expect? The prevalent theory is that the wheelbase will be extended to accommodate captain's chairs in the middle row, and possibly by as much as 5.9 inches. As Not A Tesla App points out, a 2+2+2 layout would not only be logical, but would also provide reasonable room in the third row. Since the Model X doesn't get armrests with its six-seater configuration, it's unlikely that the cheaper Model Y will, although the option will add thousands to the $46,000 base price. This Version May Struggle To Land Here The 2+2+2 layout would allow Tesla to fit a center console in the second row, which should further enhance the feeling of luxury, but will buyers be willing to shell out extra for a car that looks almost identical from the outside? That remains to be seen, but Tesla may begin to border on oversaturation of the model if there aren't enough differences. A seven-seater Model Y is also on the way with an almost useless third row (at least for the average adult), and one can't help but wonder if these new seating layouts are a lackluster attempt at boosting sales of a car that was once the best-selling on the planet but is now seeing a decline in popularity. Until we see the new Model Y variants later this year (assuming the self-imposed timeline is adhered to), we can't pass fair judgment. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile
