Dyson V12 Detect Slim vs PencilVac Fluffycones

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a stronger overall cleaner than the Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones. The PencilVac is limited to hard floors and does a mediocre job even there, while the V12 also handles carpets reasonably well. It also picks up more pet hair both on the floor and on your furniture, where its detangling tool resists tangles far better than the tool that comes with the PencilVac. Suction is also far stronger on the V12, and it can run for over an hour in its most efficient mode, more than double the PencilVac's low-power runtime, though both drop to just a few minutes at full power. The PencilVac is slightly more portable, with a slim, handle-less body that weighs about a pound less and squeezes into tighter gaps around furniture legs, though its dustbin is smaller and needs emptying even more often.
