If Dyson’s PencilVac Fluffycones made you wish the company had built something similarly slim for scrubbing the hard floors in your home, enter the recently released Dyson PencilWash. The cordless cleaner is designed to tackle spills and stains on tile and other surfaces, and right now, it’s available for a new low price of $249.99 ($100 off) from Amazon, Target, and Dyson in the run-up to Memorial Day.

Where to Buy:
With its 1.5-inch-diameter handle and a design that lets it lie nearly flat, the PencilWash can easily slide under furniture and other tricky areas that bigger floor cleaners can’t reach. Built for hard surfaces like tile, laminate, and sealed wood, it uses a pressurized hydration system and a microfiber wet roller to scrub away spills while extracting dirty water with each pass, so you’re always cleaning with fresh water. There’s also a Max mode for addressing dried-on messes that are particularly tough to clean, along with a flexible neck that makes it easier to steer around obstacles.
The PencilWash is designed to be low-maintenance, too. Debris and wastewater are collected directly in the head rather than traveling up through the machine, preventing them from becoming trapped in a filter. It shouldn’t leave your floors soaking wet, either, and it comes with a sleek charging dock that lets it eke out 30 minutes per charge (you can also purchase a backup battery for $99.99). The 300ml clean water tank should be enough to cover over 1,000 square feet on the lowest hydration setting as well, after which it will need a refill.
