Dyson’s slimmest wet floor cleaner just got a huge upgrade and its own self-cleaning dock — where to buy

Dyson has released an upgraded version of its slimmest wet floor cleaner, the Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok, priced at $349.99. This latest model comes equipped with a variety of enhancements, including an 84,000-filament hybrid roller and a magnetic charging dock with automatic self-cleaning capabilities.

The cleaner head of the new Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok features a microfiber hybrid roller that holds 16% more fibers than its predecessor, making it the most absorbent wet roller Dyson has ever built. This updated roller hydrates the floor across 12 continuous points, effectively wiping away sticky messes while leaving the floors 30% drier to prevent streaking.

To address the issue of dirty waste, the reengineered cleaner head physically separates dry debris from dirty water directly at the head level. This bypasses internal suction pipes, reducing the risk of potential clogs. Additionally, the machine operates on a hygienic, filter-free setup with no standard air-exhaust filters, resulting in minimal maintenance between uses.

Upon finishing a cleaning session, users can simply place the Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok on its new free-standing magnetic charging dock and activate the automatic self-cleaning cycle. This cycle flushes dirt and stain residue from the roller, ensuring the machine remains clean and ready for the next use.

One of the standout features of this new model is its ergonomic design, which makes it far more user-friendly than traditional floor scrubbers. The unit boasts a pencil-thin 1.5-inch handle that easily twists around table legs. Moreover, it can be positioned flat, reaching a clearance height of just 2.95 inches, allowing it to slide under low couches and bed frames without losing contact with the surface.

The Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok is now available for purchase through Dyson's online store or at nearby Dyson Demo Stores.
