I've had mine for a few years. . Have used the crap out of it. Canister stopped filling up. Changed the filter although it wasn't making the sound when the filter needs to be changed. Dirt still not being sucked up. Almost tossed it. NOPE. Your video did the trick. Easy to follow and understand. 2 thumbs up.
This happens constantly with mine. We have four dogs - lots of hair, but I have to clean out that compartment at least twice every time I use my Dyson - not fun.
We use our Dyson really to only pick up our GSD hair because she is almost always shedding onto the hardwood floors. I am going to try this when I get home and hopefully this is the answer to the problem! Does make the weaker sound and doesn't pick much up.
Thanks for saving me time! I thought for a moment that it's messed up. Pro tip: if you point that side hole to the light you should be able to see if the space is clear from the top.
OMG this video saved my sanity! I was about to set my Dyson on fire and then you said dig in this hole and unclog it and BAM my machine worked!! WOOO HOOO
As always a very good instructional video, thanks for that. But I have to say dyson cleaning products are not well designed when you have to clean multiple things to get it right. A regular vacuum cleaner is 1/4 the cost of a dyson cleaner and is so easy to maintain.
Mines making that same noise. Cleaned all filters and head etc. Stripped and compressor blowed it all clean right down to the motor. Still making noise and lcd says check filter. I can only assume impeller has come loose 🤷🏻
What crap a Dyson is.. I gave a V11 as a gift to a family member when it was just new version and it has never worked properly, I know the suction is terrible. Dyson used to advertise no loss of suction like a bagged vacuum and no dirty dusty bags to replace, instead we have it stick out face close to a dusty block hole and poke around in it with chopsticks and a pen to clear it. What a terrible design Thanks for the video
My Dyson V11 ran well for 6 months or so before the suction power dropped off dramatically. Clearing the vent as shown didn't fix the issue for me. I agree the near constant clogging of the inside vent is a pain. I wouldn't recommend this product.
Brand new Dyson V11 and it stopped working correctly. This video was clear and easy to understand and easily resolved the issue.

Glad to hear the vac is back in working order!
God bless this guy ! I was just about to send my Dyson back!
Brilliant! We have two dogs, saved me a trip to the shop. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video! My Dyson isn’t even a month old and I thought I broke it! With this video issue was fixed with 5 min !!
Amazing. Glad to hear it.
Worked like a charm! I could NOT figure out what was going on. Watched this. Was blocked all right. Now its fine again. Thanks ❤

Gonna have to clean my V11 that’s not working at the moment. Living with two cats, I suspect there’s plenty of gunk stuck in there too
you just saved me so much anticipated headache
So I need a small shop vac to clean out my 600$ Dyson what a great design
Use an air compressor
Took the words right out of my mouth.

SUPER helpful video, thanks for helping me fix my Dyson V11 myself!

My mother just bought a new Dyson because she had this problem. Just got a free Dyson and am converting it to Makita batteries for work

Glad to hear that! It’s such a weird thing to go wrong.
You sir are truly gifted in all things mechanical [pens, vacuums, etc]. Do you have a mechanical or technical background?
Thanks, I was wondering what’s happening, why is the dirt falling out of vacuum and, it turns out it’s clog from my dog’s hairs. A lot of it. 😅

Useful and to the point
Thank you! Fantastic and easy to understand…..Dyson is sucking again!
V11. Popcorn. Peanuts. Pets. PLUGGED. ✅✅✅✅ Thanks for this. Easy fix. 💯
i use a firm bottle brush after clearing out and it clears it and cleans anything stuck
Great tip!
Thanks! (Why haven't more of us "Liked" this video with an UP Arrow?)
Thanks for showing how to do this and just wish it was designed differently.
Super helpful. Thank you
This is a very helpful video

Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Mine is not clogged but makes the high pitch noise
Likely an obstruction. Had this happen with a Lego
elaborate more since I haven't vacuumed anything larger than pea size object. @@unsharpen
I've done all of this and the suction is still terrible. It just blows dust bunnies and particles all around like a leaf blower. Horrible vacuum.
I had the same problem and I took it to a dyson repair center. It’s working like new again. It was under warranty so I paid nothing :)
ty for this
