Top-heavy, bulky, always getting clogged or running out of battery — they’re so… manual. But then I met PencilVac Fluffycones, Dyson’s new $599 cordless stick vacuum, and it was love at first lift.<br><br> The name PencilVac Fluffycones perfectly describes this delightfully overengineered broom. If more vacuums had such whimsical names, my life would be much fuller. It’s very thin and light, like a pencil, and it has fluffy, cone-shaped rollers that glide across floors as if they’re flying.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"><a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43920832.14448/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL3RlY2gvODcyOTgxL2R5c29uLXBlbmNpbHZhYy1mbHVmZnljb25lcy12YWN1dW0taGFuZHMtb24tcmV2aWV3P3VlaWQ9YmM2MjA3MmM3OWFjN2JlOTkwNDIwZTMzMzVkMGM5NTImYnhpZD02OTI3ODMwZDUyZjk3MTM3MjMwNmMxOGU/6927830d52f971372306c18eE6459fa54" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"><!--[if mso]> <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43920832.14448/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL3RlY2gvODcyOTgxL2R5c29uLXBlbmNpbHZhYy1mbHVmZnljb25lcy12YWN1dW0taGFuZHMtb24tcmV2aWV3P3VlaWQ9YmM2MjA3MmM3OWFjN2JlOTkwNDIwZTMzMzVkMGM5NTImYnhpZD02OTI3ODMwZDUyZjk3MTM3MjMwNmMxOGU/6927830d52f971372306c18eF6459fa54" style="height:40px;width:118px;v-text-anchor:middle;" arcsize="10%" fillcolor="#5200ff"> <v:stroke dashstyle="Solid" weight="0px" color="#5200ff"/> <w:anchorlock/> <v:textbox inset="0px,0px,0px,0px"> <center dir="false" style="color:#ffffff;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:15px"> <![endif]--> <span class="button" style="background-color: #5200ff;

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
