Thanks so much for this, you have saved a Dyson from going to landfill (neighbor was throwing it out) simple maintainence like this saves so much waste and protects the planet. Again, thank you
Absolutely, just saved a Dyson that a friend was getting rid of as they said it was knackered. Also replaced with a fresh battery and it's good as new!
if only corporations cared enough about the environment over money to provide these kinds of instructions so people don't have to reverse engineer everything. the internet could be so much more useful to the environment. so sad to see.
GREAT, GREAT EXPLANATION. That was so well done. It is rare for a device such as that to be broken down, cleaned and reassembled with clarity. The accent didn't hurt.
This video is a game changer for the performance and life of your vacuum. Thank you for making this informative and simple to follow video. I really appreciated the added insights on tips, tricks, and things you might run into and most importantly that you took the time to show the reassembly step by step -instead of saying something like “now put it back together in the reverse order you took it apart” which sounds fine at the time, but I have found *more than once unfortunately* it can be easier said than done. My vacuum is a few years old and runs like it’s brand new so thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lol, I've had mine the better part of a decade, and I'm only even watching this because someone decided to vacuum up flour. All I've ever had to do is clear the bin, and occasionally I clean the filter.
I’ll pile on here with the rest of the grateful viewers, and, like the previous commenter, really appreciated the reassembly instructions. You saved the day by enabling me to restore my vacuum. “‘‘Twas a brave man who disassembled the Dyson vacuum and then put it all back together. It won the war.” Author unknown
Have this dyson and it wasn't working properly. Just before I put it in the bin I came across your video. Great job on the step by step instructions. Dyson working great now. Thank you.
Mate you are a champion. I never knew how to pull the filter apart. You just saved me a trip to Dyson. 6 years of dust build up in the filter gone. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you Russell - with your help - I have fixed my 5yr old Dyson. It had a broken wand and suction problems a few weeks ago, and hubby wanted to throw it out, but I bought a new wand, in the face of strong disapproval, and it was fine until yesterday... I was puzzled, as I'd taken unit apart last time for a deep clean.It turned out to be the old filter not fitting properly. Thank you for saving my face, because otherwise I would have had to get a new vacuum, and would never live it down...
THANK you very much Russell, I could not have done the thorough cleaning of the cyclone assembly without your detailed instructions. A TORX T9 dedicated (not multi-bits) screw driver 6" long from handle end to tip will make this work easy and well worth acquiring one before starting the work. My gratitude also extends to UA-cam for their publications.
THANK YOU sir!! Mine was pulsating but charging fine and Dyson wanted me to get a new battery. Going to take mine apart, since now I see a lot of dirt gets caught in parts we cannot generally access. You just saved me 80 Euros, plus helping with the maintenance of the other Dysons in the family!
Thank you! This was explained very well… my Dyson has been pulsing on and off for a couple of weeks.. I had no idea how to pull it apart.. it’s now cleaned and drying.. hoping that sorts it out. Great video. Thank you!!
Can't thank you enough my vacuum has been doing this for long time. Looked up so many things on UA-cam and nothing worked till I found you and yesterday my husband took out the screen and it was unbelievably clogged and we cleaned the whole thing and it's working perfect, like new.
After stripping down and cleaning my v6 up to the cyclone assembly, I was not brave enough to tackle that without instructions. After watching your brilliant video, I'm now ready to dive in and strip it down to it's skeleton parts! Hopefully this will solve my problem, as after cleaning all the other parts, it still sucks up little more than the carpet fibres! I can't wait to come back and let you know just how well you solved it for me 🤞🤞🤞 (otherwise, it means taking out a mortgage for a new one!). I've had my v6 for at least 5 years, so if this is all it takes to renew it, then you deserve a gold medal, sir! 🥰 I'll be back...
THANKS !! Russell - thanks for the great demo video. My Dyson was getting a little slow - I'll bet this gets it all lined up after I get the security Torx drivers. Dyson should hire you to do these instructional videos - you are just the right guy for it.
I was almost going to buy a new vacuum cleaner! So much fine dust inside the top filter, cleaned it out and it’s back on full power and no more stuttering. I never knew you can access the inside of the filter, thanks so much!
Thanks Russell; my Dyson was pulsing as well - turned out the battery was faulty so got a new one: but only worked that out by stripping it down and then trying to charge it with just the motor unit. When there's no cyclone attached, and you just have the motor body with battery, you know it's the battery that's at fault! Did the full deep clean and with the new battery it's working like new. Thanks again.
@@angelsmith3152 I wish I was an affiliate but I’m not. 😂😂 look up 28 in 1 cordless torque screwdriver tool on Amazon. I needed it as soon as I saw this video!
Dude, you're a wizard!!it worked! 😮I've Googled countless times and the fixes never did. If you lived in Nevada, I'd find you to give the biggest hug ever! Now, to find a video for "new" one I bought!
Excellent video for a tricky disassembly - the clear instructions made all the difference. I found that a no.8 Torx handled (75mm) driver did the trick on the deeply embedded fasteners. Nice one. Thank you Russell!
YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU!!! The cyclone thingy was so dirty and whenever we used it the thingy was smelled so bad!!! I thought it was the filter but that didn’t do anything to stop the smell when we cleaned it. Just cleaned the cyclone assembly and it’s already working so much better!!
Thank you so much. I never knew the top came off the filter I had been just rinsing it off. There was SO MUCH gunk inside and packed tight. I had to use a tool to get the stuff packed in a the bottom. Now it's like a new vacuum!
Dyeing recommendation to rinse it is very poor advice. Opening it up as in the video allows a much more thorough cleaning. I use a small flat blade screwdriver to press down on the raised tabs. It takes some effort but well worth doing.
Thanks Russell sorted out a 5yo Vacuum which has just been used to clean a dusty house post decorating (plastering) and I mullered it completely. Thanks to your great video it's happily cleaning away again. Cheers Dan
Hi Russell. Thank you so much for showing and explaining “everything” at a steady and easy pace. This will help me immensely. Thanks Again. Your a star.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely the best video for fixing and cleaning the Dyson! So easy to follow Russell, taking apart the Dyson, cleaning and putting it all back together again. Thank you Russell. Only by watching your video I have now been able to stop my Dyson from pulsating on and off. Not sure I would attempt the servicing myself though even though you made it look easy. 👍😀 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow, thank you so much. We have always checked the pipe, heads and main unit and we were having problems. I complained that popcorn kernels were too strong to be vacuumed up. Then I saw your video, wow. It was completely the filter. I cleaned it and almost could t move the vacuum over the carpet afterwards. Thank you so much - this was a game changer!
Thank you Russell!!! This was incredibly helpful and clearly explained! Your video was so easy and understandable and QUICK! Fixed my Dyson in just a few minutes - cheers!!!
I wish you were my neighbor! Thanks for the tutorial, especially showing how to put it back together. I think my Dyson is clogged because it's acting up after I vacuumed up some drywall dust. Ironically, after I did that it expelled alot of the dust into the air, so I honestly don't think the filtration is great.
EXCELLENT video Russell! Had that problem, called Dyson and they walked me through steps to fix this. The Agent walked me through several trouble shooting steps and in the end she couldn't solve the problem. So asked her what next-she told me she couldn't help further. Called back months later to discuss again and the agent listened to the scenario of the first call. So I asked what next. She said I could call back later and she would go through the trouble shooting steps with me. Needless to say I haven't called back. I will try using your video to remedy this.
Thanks, have stripped vac down and cleaned as described. Hoping this will do the trick. If not have you created video on changing voltage trip? Thanks again for great video.
At first I was thinking "I was able to figure that out myself" and then he did what I was scared I would break it doing, simply pried it open with a knife! Pretty shocking how complex this cyclone is after that! Great no nonsense video. Sure appreciate!
I just bought a used one of these at Goodwill for 20 bucks and it was doing that pulsing on/off cleaned the purple filter and it's working fine, I am going to give mine a good clean like you are doing so I appreciate you posting this tutorial video.
@@RussellPlatten Yeah I cleaned it up last night and this morning tried it out, wow it picked up stuff my other vacuum wouldn't, I'm seriously impressed with this Dyson V6 motorhead has it on turbo and yeah cleaning.
Thank you so much for this great video. My V6 Animal is now like it is brand new. I'm going to give the same treatment to my Absolute. You have saved me hundres of pounds on new ones. You are a star. There can't be anyone out there who doesn't try this before rushing to buy a new one. Many thanks
A very good video! The disassembly and replace was very clearly done. We've had the V07 and I need to do this thorough cleaning! Best video I've watched on this Dyson machine
Great instruction video. However it just demonstrate what a lousy design this product is. You need 2 university degrees to maintain it. I've given up using it.
I haven’t got two University degrees and I found it easy to fix and maintain haha! I agree it’s crap though as Makita and Karcher offer far better alternatives! 🙂
The one I am having trouble with ( V8)is only 1 1/2,years old, and I have never had one last longer than three years. They work great when they work but you are not going to have this for a long time unless you have the time (and the equipment) to do this whole mess fairly often.
Maybe its just me but this didn't look like a particularly difficult process to do every 6 month to a couple of years. I've done similar things to my dc25 mains powered one before. Compared with almost every other brand of bagless vacuum cleaner I find Dysons to be much easier to live with. Most seem to get their filters clogged so quickly and be a horrible process to clean. At least a deep clean like this is infrequent.
Outstanding, was finally able to give both my Dyson v6 cordless a well needed cleaning. Wish I had come across your video before as my cyclone was loaded with caked on dust and pet hair. Wonderful thorough video thanks again. 🙏 FYI…I also purchased a handy tool kit with the necessary tools made for Dyson devices.
Thank you I couldn’t figure out how to clean it for the life of me and no matter how much a tried I kept smelling so musty. Thanks for showing how to pry that filtery area off.
Thank you sir for this excellent instructional video. My unit is a V8 Absolute and is very similar. Those 5 screws are very difficult to reach and I used my micro screw driver (tightens my eye glasses hinges) and it worked fine. Also, removing the canister is kind of tricky but I pried on it like you said and used a lot of patience with these plastic parts. So, no damage! I soaked the parts in warm water with dish soap and they were all clean! Assembled everything back together and it runs like new. Thanks again.
A very comprehensive video. I have a later model that gums up frequently. Fortunately I have compressed air & I give it a good blow through with the air nozzle. It’s unbelievable how much dust is trapped inside the machine. I don’t know how anyone without a bit of mechanical knowledge could own these things 😬
Thank you for the help I could not have cleaned it so well. I could not get it apart until I saw this video about the white snap ring with the needle nose pliers.
This was awesome , after i cleaned the filter and took the cloth part off the plastic cleaned it, it was full of hair, worked like it was new, thankyou,
Brilliant, thank you. I’ve never stripped mine down beyond taking the purple mesh bit off. Once I get that far I then whack the the rest of the housing a good few times to get the dirt out. This normally fixes the pulse problem.
I absolutely love this video. Your accent is a breath of fresh air, the way you explain it is perfect - simple, clear, straight-forward. I took apart my DC62 which I was watching this and sorted it out (there was a wad of dirt in the frame inside the pre-filter - years of cat and dog hair that didn't go away when it was washed over and over again - didn't even know the end came off to clean inside like that). Thanks Russ.
Thanks for this gem of a video Russell. I will attempt this soon as I get through the others chores always awaiting attention. This was truly a great example of cause and effect. Remedied by a radical clean.
It certainly worked for me Luke. I missed a filter though, there is another one under the cover where the MAX button is. It was not causing a problem with mine. :-)
thanks I was about to throw this glorified broom away, but …you saved it from going to the tip. Never again one of these bagless messes, no matter which brand.You are showing the reality of bagless!
Thank you so much, Russell, my husband and I really enjoyed watching this video and look forward to exploring our Dyson. It looks brand new, we have subscribed to see what other gems of knowledge you have shared Chel and Jeff
Superb video. Have followed it tonight with both my handhelds. Just the last step I couldn’t do as my screwdriver thing wasn’t long enough. You explain & demonstrate so well. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much! I was about to through out my dyson. They are so overpriced and it was barely sucking up dust bunnies are hardwood. I have washed my filter so the outside looked okay but the inside was packed full of dust and hair. Thank you sooooo much!!! It’s like brand new again and my battery lasts longer.
Thanks so much for this, you have saved a Dyson from going to landfill (neighbor was throwing it out) simple maintainence like this saves so much waste and protects the planet. Again, thank you

Glad I could help Lindsey! :-)
More how-to videos should be made like this! Straight to the point, clear easy to understand. Great job! Thank you much, keep doing what you do.
Thank you Russell - I swear this is the most high maintenance vacuum I've ever encountered :)
Ours took a long time to reach the point where I needed to strip it down. It was much better after I finished the video. :-)
The new v11 outsize tells you the maintenance info on the LCD.
I love your little pen electric screwdriver where can I purchase one of those
Lol, I've had mine the better part of a decade, and I'm only even watching this because someone decided to vacuum up flour. All I've ever had to do is clear the bin, and occasionally I clean the filter.
Yeah, they suck Henry hoover, never ever gone wrong and costs a fraction the price.

I haven’t got two University degrees and I found it easy to fix and maintain haha! I agree it’s crap though as Makita and Karcher offer far better alternatives! 🙂
The one I am having trouble with ( V8)is only 1 1/2,years old, and I have never had one last longer than three years. They work great when they work but you are not going to have this for a long time unless you have the time (and the equipment) to do this whole mess fairly often.

Those 5 screws are very difficult to reach and I used my micro screw driver (tightens my eye glasses hinges) and it worked fine. Also, removing the canister is kind of tricky but I pried on it like you said and used a lot of patience with these plastic parts. So, no damage! I soaked the parts in warm water with dish soap and they were all clean!
Assembled everything back together and it runs like new. Thanks again.
Glad I could help! :-)
A very comprehensive video. I have a later model that gums up frequently.
Fortunately I have compressed air & I give it a good blow through with the air nozzle.
It’s unbelievable how much dust is trapped inside the machine.
I don’t know how anyone without a bit of mechanical knowledge could own these things 😬
I use a compressor on mine too. :-)
This is one of the best 'How to..' videos I've ever seen on UA-cam (or anywhere else). Great stuff!
Cheers Andy! :-)
Thank you for the help I could not have cleaned it so well. I could not get it apart until I saw this video about the white snap ring with the needle nose pliers.
Glad I could help! :-)
This was awesome , after i cleaned the filter and took the cloth part off the plastic cleaned it, it was full of hair, worked like it was new, thankyou,
Glad I could help Jill! :-)
WOW! This is a great guide to converting your old Dyson, to practically new! Tear down and re-assembly was helpful. Cheers!
Glad it helped Jim! :-)
Just found your video, wish I’d found it 3 years ago, great concise video thank you
Brilliant, thank you. I’ve never stripped mine down beyond taking the purple mesh bit off. Once I get that far I then whack the the rest of the housing a good few times to get the dirt out. This normally fixes the pulse problem.
So long as it works, it would be much easier! :-)
Thanks for a few pointers, I’m fairly competent at this, wasn’t hard, but this video gave me a few little pointers of which I’m grateful for thanks 👍🏼
Superb instructions and easy to follow video..... and if you fast forward to the end..... The Dyson looks Brand NEW!!!!
Cheers Stephen! :-)
Awesome full demo of a DC59 teardown and reassembly Russell. I highly recommend this video!
Glad I could help Paul! :-)
Thanks for taking the time - the first thorough and complete maintenance video after looking A LOT! Brilliant.
Glad I could help! :-)
Best Dyson video on you tube by a country mile - Thank you Russell
Cheers Steve! :-)
I absolutely love this video. Your accent is a breath of fresh air, the way you explain it is perfect - simple, clear, straight-forward. I took apart my DC62 which I was watching this and sorted it out (there was a wad of dirt in the frame inside the pre-filter - years of cat and dog hair that didn't go away when it was washed over and over again - didn't even know the end came off to clean inside like that).
Thanks Russ.
You're welcome Andy. Glad I could help! :-)
Wouah!! The perfect and unmatched video about cleaning a Dyson ! Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! :-)
Thanks for this gem of a video Russell. I will attempt this soon as I get through the others chores always awaiting attention. This was truly a great example of cause and effect. Remedied by a radical clean.
It certainly worked for me Luke. I missed a filter though, there is another one under the cover where the MAX button is. It was not causing a problem with mine. :-)
without doubt the best video on this - don't watch any others they wont show you the detail
OMG brother you saved me an expensive trip to the repair place!!! Thank you brother!
Glad I could help! :-)
thanks I was about to throw this glorified broom away, but …you saved it from going to the tip. Never again one of these bagless messes, no matter which brand.You are showing the reality of bagless!
Glad I could help! :-)
Amen. Biggest piece of crap I have ever wasted money on. I would not recommend a Dyson V6 to my enemies.
outstanding, no bs, just cleaning! great video
Thank you so much, Russell, my husband and I really enjoyed watching this video and look forward to exploring our Dyson. It looks brand new, we have subscribed to see what other gems of knowledge you have shared Chel and Jeff
Thank you Chel, I hope you find something else of interest to watch! :-)
Superb video. Have followed it tonight with both my handhelds.
Just the last step I couldn’t do as my screwdriver thing wasn’t long enough.
You explain & demonstrate so well.
Thank you so much 😊
Glad it helped Gill! :-)
Thanks , professionally explained, recommend others to watch if they have an issue with their Dyson cleaner
Glad I could help! :-)
Thank you so much! I was about to through out my dyson. They are so overpriced and it was barely sucking up dust bunnies are hardwood. I have washed my filter so the outside looked okay but the inside was packed full of dust and hair. Thank you sooooo much!!! It’s like brand new again and my battery lasts longer.
Glad I could help Lesley! :-)
That was awesome! It was so detailed! I love it! Thank you for sharing!
