TL;DR: Dyson officially launched the Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok for $349.99 at Dyson and Dyson Demo Stores. The updated machine features an 84,000-filament hybrid roller, a free-standing magnetic charging dock, and an automatic roller self-cleaning cycle.
Dyson is taking another crack at making hard-floor mopping way less tedious. The brand just officially unveiled the Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok, updating its slimmest and lightest wet cleaner with better scrubbing power, smarter waste separation, and a dedicated home base. It brings a handful of quality-of-life upgrades to help you tackle spills, pet hair, and dried-on floor gunk without wrestling with a heavy machine.
The star of this refresh is the overhauled cleaner head setup. Dyson packed in a new 84,000-filament microfiber hybrid roller that holds 16% more fibers than the original version, making it the most absorbent wet roller Dyson has built to date. It hydrates the floor across 12 continuous points to wipe away sticky messes while leaving floors 30% drier to prevent streaking.

Dyson also overhauled how the machine handles dirty waste, so you don't have to touch nasty slurry after cleaning. The reengineered cleaner head physically separates dry debris from dirty water directly at the head level — bypassing internal suction pipes to eliminate potential clogs. Because it runs on a hygienic, filter-free setup without standard air-exhaust filters, maintenance between uses is pretty much nonexistent.
Once you finish wiping down your floors, you simply park the machine on its new free-standing magnetic charging dock and hit the automatic self-cleaning cycle, which flushes dirt and stain residue from the roller.
Ergonomics is where this machine really shines over traditional floor scrubbers. The unit features a pencil-thin 1.5-inch handle that twists easily around table legs. It can lie 100% flat to a clearance height of just 2.95 inches, allowing you to slide it all the way under low couches and bed frames without losing contact with the surface.
The new Dyson W1 PencilWash + Dok is available to order directly from Dyson's online store or at your nearest Dyson Demo Store for $349.99.
