Maintenance

1. Emptying the Dust Bin

The Dyson PencilVac Fluffy features an air compression bin that compacts debris as you clean, preventing dust from scattering during emptying. To empty, hold the vacuum over a waste bin, release the lock near the cleaner head, and slide the handle down. The compressed debris will be ejected.

The clear bin, filter, and brush bar are designed for easy removal and can be washed with water. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and using the vacuum.

The linear dust separation system captures 99.99% of microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns, expelling cleaner air. This system helps maintain consistent suction power.
